On September 4th, 2024 in the town of Boise, Idaho, a rather unusual event occurred that perplexed the local authorities. It began as several residents reported sightings of a strange flying object hovering low over the local community park in the early morning hours. One alert citizen, a Mr. John Smith, happened to catch the entire bizarre episode on his home security camera.

What the footage revealed was indeed like something out of a Saturday matinee serial. At approximately 09:32AM, those watching the tape witnessed a blimp-like balloon lower slowly into the empty park. However, this was no ordinary balloon but rather an ornate gondola attached containing three odd looking individuals with abnormally large eyes and heads. They appeared to converse animatedly with gestures that seemed alien.

After several minutes of milling about, one proceeded to pull something resembling a vacuum cleaner from their vessel and began sucking at the grass curiously. This caused the local squirrels to run off in a tizzy. Their inspection of fauna was interrupted however when sirens approached in the distance. At this, the three panicked and zoomed off at a startling speed, pulling stunts no blimp pilot would dare attempt. They spun and darted between the trees disappearing as suddenly as they came.

While rumors of little green men would fly faster than their craft, calm scientific study found their vessel had traces of an unknown resin and pollen found nowhere on Earth. The facts remain that _something_ out of this world, if only for a fleeting moment, paid our park an unprecedented visit that September morn. What exactly observed our squirrels and sampled our sod remains as mystifying as when first witnessed that odd, peculiar day in Boise.
