There is no doubting the certitude of some things. It took only a couple of drinks at a party and Warwick would corner any and every one and talk about Unidentified Flying Objects. Tonight he had buttonholed Brandon.
One of the more concerning things about UFOs – said Warwick – is that they are always seen hovering near military establishments. Military bases of various kinds. Or if not, at least an air force plane or an aircraft carrier. It implies that these UFO aliens are snooping on our military. One would think that aliens would be interested in Nature – our mountains and lakes, our trees and animals. Even our weather. But no! They snoop around the military bases, and this implies that their intentions are not friendly. Don’t you think?
Brandon felt trapped. He clearly had to respond, because there was no one else in on the conversation. Just him and Warwick. So he said that Warwick’s point was very perceptive. Yes, it did look like these cosmic aliens were preparing for an Earth take-over. One would think that if the aliens were going to surprise the Earthlings they would cover their intent by making appearances at less war-prone environments. Why not be furtively seen in the sky at the Chelsea Flower Show, for example?
Quite true! Quite true! said Warwick excitedly. The signs certainly point to an imminent attack.
Brandon made a mental note to pass this observation on to his headquarters, somewhere in the vicinity of Proxima Centauri.
There is a reason Men in Black exist. No wonder Brandon was neutralised that same night, and Warwick’s memory was suitably zapped.

I forgot about being able to zap. It would’ve mercifully shortened the story considerably.

I know it’s just fiction, but it does give me some good ideas to pass along to headquarters…

I’m very skeptical about these things, but when a retired Navy pilot recalled his experiences and it being supported by official military video, I couldn’t help but take notice:

I agree. At this point it may be a bigger conspiracy theory to deny their existence.

I guess Warwick didn’t fall for the double-bluff, those aliens aren’t as advanced as we think they are…

Certainly the aliens I’ve known (from space that is) haven’t been very impressive both ethically and in the head.

Looked up Centaurus in Wikipedia, just in case there is a double agent among us…

I wouldn’t be at all surprised. Apparently they can disguise themselves as foxes.
