What the hell is going on?

He searched the hills for the source of the noise, but the hills were empty.

The noise wasn't coming from the ground.

Nikolai craned his head towards the sky and dropped his coffee.

Hovering above him was a metallic, saucer-shaped object roughly the size of a car.

It was floating in place right above his garden.

Now, like a real Frenchman, Nikolai was too cool to be startled.

Instead, he retreated to a small cabin on a nearby field to get a better view of the craft.

Nikolai watched in awe as this otherworldly object lowered itself and landed gracefully in a field of wild alfalfa, which is apparently a plant and not just one of the little rascals.

As soon as it touched the ground, the strange whistling sound ceased, and the craft came to a stop.

Unfortunately, the craft didn't stick around for long.

The whistling sound began firing once again, and the object lifted up off the ground, blasting a wave of dust through the fields.

Once it reached a decent height, the object swiftly shot off towards the horizon, and just like that, it was gone.

Now, Nikolai knew that he'd seen something above his pay grade, so he did the responsible thing and he called the police.

Reports of the incident worked its way up the chain of command until eventually it reached exactly where it needed to be.

The M.I.N.'s.

When the Jipan arrived on site, they couldn't believe what they were looking at.

The craft was gone, but unlike the first case, this object had left its mark.

At the landing site, the team observed a large circular imprint in the ground, several meters in diameter, where the soil appeared to have been compressed with such force that it was as if a hydraulic press had crushed it into the earth.

However, the surrounding plants didn't just appear to be flattened or disturbed, they seemed altered in a way that suggested something more than mechanical pressure.
