You could feel it - it was in the air

 

I could, of course, tell you about the farmhouse, or about the tractor, or the farmer’s dog, or about the cornfield, but all of that would sound boring the minute I mentioned the spaceship.  Right away you’d lose interest in all of those other things.  But trust me, once you hear what happened you’ll see how each one is tied to the other and all of it could have happened only one way. 

I should mention here that the only weapon the farmer ever owned was his grandfather’s old shotgun, and all he ever used it for was to shoot blanks into the air to scare the crows away from his cornfield.  That only worked some of the time.

It was early Saturday morning, and the farmer’s wife had already left for town to do some shopping.  Sammy, their trusty dog, did not go with her into town, even though he enjoyed riding in the truck, this morning he just felt like sleeping in.  He opened one eye and watched her going down the driveway and then he went back to sleep, ignoring the crow who was perched on the edge of his dog dish, occasionally helping herself to his food.

Betty, the farmer’s wife had no sooner reached the stop sign at Rosedale Road, when she remembered her cell phone was still sitting under the lamp on the hall table.  Everything she was going to get at the store was listed on her phone.  She had to turn around and go back for it.

As the farmer was walking back from the chicken coop, he heard Sammy barking.  He saw Sammy standing at the back door and wagging as he looked across the field.  That’s when the farmer saw the cloud of dust moving along the back road and heard the familiar sound of their truck.

 

“She forgot her phone again, Sam.”

 

But something very strange happened as they both watched.  The cloud of dust suddenly disappeared for a moment and then was back again, as if there was something between the farmer and his truck driving along the dirt road that had obstructed his view. 

The sound of the truck was not interrupted, only the sight of it going along the road.  It made no sense.   He could see nothing in the field and yet something had blocked the view.  He knew it hadn’t rained, so there would be no reason for any part of that road to get wet.  But what else could it be?  What interrupted their vision but not the sound? 

A thought quickly flashed in his mind, but it was so bizarre that he dismissed it just as quickly, that being that something invisible was sitting out in his field.

 By now you’ve noticed that I have only identified Betty, the wife and Sammy, the dog.  Until recently I was not allowed to use the name of the farmer or of the state or town where this event occurred.  I can now inform you that the farmer’s real name is Gary Ruebhausen and his farm sits in the North-East corner of New Mexico. 

The events, as relayed to me, have not been embellished or exaggerated.  It was purely for the safety and security of the Ruebhausen family that all of this was kept out of the media until such time that the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Defense completed their investigations.  Those investigations were completed on August 1^st.

I can now tell you that a spacecraft did land on the Ruebhausen farm and both Gary and Betty were contacted by the aliens.   Communication was accomplished through the use of drawings and mathematical equations.  Gary and Betty were given several items and containers of both seeds and liquids, all of which the government has confiscated.   The Ruebhausen tractor was modified by the aliens to run without gasoline and to operate silently.  That has also been appropriated by the government.  They have, however, given the farmers a new replacement John Deer. 

Although it was the intent of the aliens to share their technology with us, it has been the actions of our own government that has, so far, prevented anything from getting out to the public.  National Guard patrols have been stationed around the perimeter of the Ruebhausen farm in an effort to discourage the general public from visiting, or taking anything away, claiming it is from outer space and then selling it on eBay.

There is one thing the aliens shared with the Ruebhausens they did not disclose to the government, and that concerns Sammy, their dog.  I have not witnessed this myself, but apparently both Gary and Betty now have the ability to communicate with 100% accuracy with Sammy, and he with them.  When they told me this I found it a little farfetched, but then when I looked over at Sammy, he looked like he was smiling and then gave me a wink.
