Crash

New Mexico
Desert
Arid
Cool

Summer
Night
1947

Falling star?
Metallic bits
Scattered like
Shrapnel

Farmers with kerosene lanterns
Spread out searching in a line
Not unlike like a police hunt
To find a murdered teen

The U.S. Army Air Force
Released newspaper headlines
They’d recovered a “flying disc” From Roswell ranches Ley lines

Clear-cut coverups
Conflicting explanations

From fallen saucer
To weather balloon
The locals claimed
It came from the moon

Grey
Slight
Almond eyes

A body was recovered
That was about a child’s size

Government contracts
And alien blood drawn
Reverse engineering
Had immediately begun

Smart phones, 5G tech
Satellites born from the wreck

Project Blue Book
The Majestic 12
Debunking eyewitnesses
Their stories shelved

In catacombs within Area 51
Extraterrestrial life is cloned
Jackie Gleason, Richard Nixon
View four specimens in jars
