Alien Orders

Day 1

He was told to sit at the flat end of the table, so that they were all circling him, like an inquisition. He had no idea what to expect at this point. When he sat down they were all very quiet. No one said a thing for several seconds; they all just looked at him. That did not make him feel very secure at that moment. The Airforce Colonel was the first one to say anything to Captain Ryan. He said “what have you been doing?” Captain Ryan really did not know how to answer that question. So he said “I am not sure what you mean sir.” So the Colonel said, “You have been doing some unsanctioned investigation, and looking at files that you have not been read into.” He said that “those files are compartmentalized for a reason, “you do you understand what that means don’t you?” The Captain said “yes, I do understand what that means.” They wanted to know what he had found out. Caption Ryan was not just doing searches on the SIPRNET, he was doing it at home; and there was a lot of information. He knew that his personal searches were not in question, but the searches from the SIPRNET were.

            The Intelligence Command had been watching Captain Ryan since he made his first report that night of April 17th 2009. They started to look into his background. They looked over his ASFAB scores to get an insight of his aptitude, and whether he was able to comprehend unexplained events and keep a rational mind. The Airforce Colonel was very stern when he was talking. He was telling Ryan that they had been watching him for the last few weeks and they knew exactly what he had been doing. They had also been following him around during his personal time off. They even said that they knew what he had been searching for on his home computer. This entire line of information really scared him that they knew so much about him, on and off duty. But it confirmed Captain Ryan’s suspicion, that he was being watched. Ryan was informed that he was being relieved of duty for the next thirty days without pay, or until they were done with their investigation. He was to turn in all his credentials at that moment, and he would be escorted out of the building. He was told that they would have another meeting in thirty days in this very place at 1000 hours. Until then he was not allowed on base.

Captain Ryan was escorted out of the building and off the Base. They even took his parking pass to keep him from even coming on base to use the Post Exchange. Ryan went straight home. That entire rest of the day he paced around his home thinking about what he was going to do. He knew that he had to do something or his thirty day suspension would all be in vein. So he went into his room and opened up his safe and got the blue journal. He sat down at the table and started to jot down notes, of things that he had ideas about. The first thing on his list was computer searching if his computer, was being watched. He had to find a new way for computer access. He decided that he could use the public library computers. They are public, and it would be harder for whoever was following him to track his computer use. Next he put down on his list that he needed to get in contact with people from the conspiracy web site that he joined. Maybe they could help him with gathering information on what was going on.

That night he went to the bar and met up with some friends from the base. They had all heard about what happened, and were all in shock. Captain Johnson was there and he told Ryan if he needed anything just to let him know. Ryan talked to his friends about what was going on and most of them had experiences just like Ryan had. They just had enough sense to leave it alone and stay on the straight and narrow path. But that is what made Ryan unique. He always went outside the box that is why he was usually first in all his classes from high school through college. He asked his pilot friends if they would write down in detail what they had encountered on any of their flights. Most of them agreed that they would write down their stories and give them to Ryan. He told them not to email them to him at his regular email address, so Ryan gave them all his newly made up email address, which was one just for this purpose.

When he went home from the bar that evening, he still had the feeling that he was being followed. But he could never see anyone. It was just that feeling that you get when you are being looked at and the hair on the back of your neck stands up, but you can never catch anyone looking at you. That is the feeling that he kept getting. As soon as he got home he was thinking that maybe his house had been being bugged. That night he searched his entire home for any type of listening devices that may be hidden around. He never found anything, so he thought that either there was nothing there, or the devices were very well hidden. He just stayed in bed that night planning out the next day, since that was day 1 of his suspension, and he did not want to waste any of his thirty days of FORCED VACATION without pay of course. He finally dozed off to sleep around 0300 hours.

Captain Ryan never needed a lot of sleep. He was up by 0500 hours. He made breakfast that morning, which were eggs, toast, and coffee of course. He skipped his run this morning because he wanted to get a running start on the day. Ryan decided to search his home again; it was not a big home. He lived in a 1970’s split level home, which was very popular back in the day. It had two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living room, upstairs. He had turned his basement into a TV room on one side and a gym on the other side with one bathroom. He spent about one hour searching his home again; but again found nothing. After he was dressed and all ready for the day, he grabbed the journal and was heading off to the library so that he could use a safe computer, to start making connections with others that have had more experience with these things then him. As soon as he got to the library, he signed in with a fake name to use the computer for at least one hour.

            The first thing that he did was log into the chat site on the web page he signed up for. It was 0900 hours when he logged on, and there were already many people on the chat site. He searched for the admins on the site; which was who he wanted to talk to. After several minutes he finally got hold of the admins and started a private chat. Ryan did not want to tell them his real name yet. He used his last name Ryan. He told them what had happened that one eventful night, flying in the dark west desert. They already knew about the object in the sky that night, because they had been following it. There are people all over the state that watch the night sky and then report back to them. Ryan was amazed that they had a network like that. Ryan finished telling them about his experience and what had happened to him, ending in a thirty day no pay vacation. Ryan asked if they would be able to meet and talk in person. They agreed, so they set a time and place to meet. He felt that he was making good progress and it was only a few hours into day 1.

            Ryan finished off his chat and then decided to do some random searches, with maps and sighting locations. He was able to find several maps with UFO sightings on it. He printed a few of them out, and put them in his journal. He finished off at the library and started to head out, when he heard a female voice say hello. He did not recognize the voice, but he turned around to look at the women who said hello. He said hello back and then said “do I know you,” she said “no, we are just the only two on the computers this early in the morning.” She asked if he was good at searches, because she was having no luck in finding what she wanted. Ryan asked her what she was looking for. She said that she was new to the area and was looking for a good coffee shop that had internet access. So he sat down for a minute and helped her with the search she was looking for. Then he said that he needed to go. She asked if he was free to go get a cup of coffee, since she had no friends in the state, because she was new to the area.

            Even though Ryan had plans for the day, she said please, so he said “I suppose that I could get a cup of coffee with you.” He thought that maybe she could use a friend right at that moment, and he still had thirty days. She did not have a car, so Ryan said that he knew of a good coffee shop in the area and that he could drive. They got into the car and he realized that they did not even know each other’s names. He said my name is “Scott” “what is yours?” She said her name was “Amanda” and that she was originally from Idaho. She transferred with her job. She was a dispatcher with a local trucking company. He told her that he was in the Airforce, just on leave for the month. When they got to the coffee shop, they both went in and sat down at a table and ordered a cup coffee. She asked what he was looking for on the computer. He was very hesitant to tell her much. He told her that his hobby was tracking UFO’s around the area, and that he was researching a recent sighting that happened about three weeks ago.

            Amanda said after he told her about the UFO thing; “that is really cool.” She said that she had never seen an alien or a UFO, but she believed in them. Amanda said “how could we be the only ones around in the big universe.” Scott just shook his head and said “exactly my thoughts as well.” They talked for a while and got to know each other. He thought that she was also a very attractive woman. She was tall, long blond hair and thin with hazel eyes with more green then brown. He asked her if she had plans for dinner tomorrow, and that he knows of a great Italian restaurant, if she is free. She said that she would love to go to dinner with him. They left the coffee shop and he gave her a ride home and told her that he would pick her up at 6:00 pm tomorrow night. He felt good about the time he spent with her; but, now he had to get on with his plans he had for the day. At 1500 hours he was meeting with the conspiracy guys that he talked to on the chat site. They choose the spot. They were meeting at a public park in Salt Lake City. When Ryan got there they were already there waiting for him.

            Ryan got out of his car and headed over towards the spot that they said they would meet. As he was walking over to the spot, he had that feeling again that he was being observed. Just like in the spy movies, when the secret agent is being followed and watched; that is how Ryan felt. He met up with the two men from the site. They were just like what you would picture a conspiracy theory nut would be. They were very nervous and excited at the same time. They both were a little short and a little pudgy from sitting at a computer all the time, eating patio chips. And they both had shirts that referenced Aliens. Brian also pulled out an asthma inhaler and took a couple of puffs. The two men said that Ryan could call them, Joe and Brian. Well the two of them had a couple of book bags full of documents about UFO sightings in Utah. All three of them sat down on the park bench and started to talk about what Ryan needed help with. He wanted help getting the big picture of what is out there. Joe and Brian told Ryan that what he saw was very common around that area. They told him that if he ever wanted to see one of the triangular crafts up close, just go camping or hiking at night around Wendover, and you are almost guaranteed to see at least one of the crafts. 

            Joe pulled out a map of the area that showed the area between the Salt flats and Wendover, as well as a good place to hike or camp. They also pulled out a picture of one of the crafts. It was a very good picture they had taken in the area. They told Ryan that they thought that there was an underground cavern that our visitors have made into a command post. However they had just never found it themselves. Joe and Brian said that they have been out there at least a dozen times, either hiking around or camping in the area. But they warned Ryan that if he does go camping out there, to bring protection with him and don’t go alone. It can be a very unsettling place with the sightings and all the weird sounds. It plays tricks on your mind. The two men gave Ryan lots of paper documents, which had proof that the government knew all about it and that they were covering it up or hiding something. They also gave maps and some photos of what had been seen in that area. They swapped contact information and Joe told Ryan that they would keep doing research, and if they found anything new they would let him know what was found. Ryan said that he would also be in contact with them if he found anything new. They said there farewells and they all left just as fast as they got there.

            Meanwhile, back at the base, Colonel Wyatt had a dossier put together on Captain Ryan. In the file there were lots of pages full of information and pictures of Ryan’s activities. The pictures were very current. They already had pictures of Captain Ryan talking to Joe and Brian at the park. They had Ryan followed every place he went. Colonel Wyatt also received an unknown phone call, from a female, letting him know that the plan they formulated was going off without any problems. The Colonel wanted to know more information about Joe and Brian, so he picked up his phone and called someone and told them what he wanted. The Colonel was told that he would have it by the end of the tomorrow. Colonel Wyatt looked over at one of the large screens on the wall in the conference room and it showed live video of what Captain Ryan was doing right at that moment. Captain Ryan had no idea the level of monitoring that was going on in his life right at that instant.

            Back in Salt Lake Joe and Brian, went back to their office, which was just the basement in one of their homes; they called it the Command Center. They had no idea what they had just gotten them self into, just by meeting up with Ryan. They were now on complete surveillance. As soon as they left their home, a team snuck into the house and planted very advanced surveillance equipment all around the house. Joe and Brian would have no idea that any of it was even there. This team was in and out in less than fifteen minutes. They were a very well organized team. As soon as Joe and Brian got back, they had no idea that they were being invaded and violated at the same time. Every time they used the phone or computer or just walked around, it was being captured in one way or another. Joe made some phone calls to some other individuals, which were UFO hunters, and told them to keep their eyes open, and to let him know if they heard or saw anything.

            On one of the other screens in the Colonel’s office, was now the live surveillance of the Command Center of Joe and Brian. All the screens had video surveillance of some sort. There were at least ten screens around the office for the Colonel to watch. Back at the pilot’s squad room, they were all gathered around just talking. The squad room had listening devices around it, and it was all being recorded. Captain Johnson was wondering what the real reason was for his flying partner being suspended for thirty days. He just hoped that he would see his friend there again. Captain Johnson knew that it had something to do with the sighting that night in April. He started to ask around to other pilots to see if they knew anything or if they had heard anything around the base about Captain Ryan. Everyone that he talked to would just say the same thing. It was that Captain Ryan had violated his Security Clearance Disclosure Agreement. But Captain Johnson knew that Captain Ryan took his duty to the Military very seriously and that he would not do something like that; so he just thought that it had to be something different. Johnson did not know how to look into it without getting in trouble himself.

            Ryan was back at his home, going over all the papers he had been given by Joe and Brian. There were plenty of documented cases, but he had not heard of any of them. Ryan thought to himself “cover-up” but why would the government go to such great lengths to hide the truth. He pulled open the map and looked at the area where he had seen the flying triangle. Then he looked at camping locations around that area. There were locations that he could go. But Ryan did not want to go out there alone. His closest friends were Airmen from the base, and he did not want to get anyone else involved. He knew that he had to go out there, and soon. He thought that “maybe Amanda would like to go camping.” She is new to the area and also said that she was interested in that kind of stuff. He thought about his decision to ask her to go camping throughout the night, and determined on asking her tomorrow at dinner. He was thinking about trying to go out there this next weekend.

            Joe had received a call from another investigator and was told that there was another sighting that night, so he got the approximate location. It was about in the same spot that Ryan had seen it. It was seen by a couple of night hikers in the desert. Joe called Ryan and told him about the new sighting and Ryan was kind of enthusiastic about this new information. So was Colonel Wyatt, who was listening to the conversation. The Colonel turned around to the men in suits and said “you know what to do,” they just nodded their heads and then walked out of the office. Ryan pulled up the location on his computer. He decided that it was okay to use. He planned to take a short trip out there this week, just to hike around during the day, and to locate a good spot to camp over the weekend. He found a good trail head, called the Mormon Pioneer Trail that he could follow up through the hills. That is what he was going to do the day after tomorrow. He knew that he had to plan out as much as possible, or he would just be running around in circles; and, he did not want to waste any of his time off.

            He sat at his table and made a list of the things to take with him on his day trip along the Salt Flats, since he was going to be by himself. Items included: Day pack, some snacks, GPS, plenty of water, maps, voice recorder, and his gun. Ryan grew up near a lot of mountains in Colorado. He spent plenty of time in them, and if he learned anything from his Foster Dad, it was to never go into the mountains day or night without personal protection. That is a rule that he believed wholeheartedly, and he was going to follow it to the letter. He decided to call Amanda just to solidify the dinner date for tomorrow night, and to make sure that she was still good to go. As soon as she answered the phone he said “hi, this is Scott, we met in the library” and she said “yes I remember.” He was a little nervous, but he asked if everything was still good for dinner tomorrow night. She said that she was excited to go out with him. He was glad to hear that. He asked her if he could pick her up at 5:00 pm, instead of 6:00 pm. She said that it would be great, and that she gets home from work at 4:00 o’clock, so that would work out perfectly.

            He went to the bar again and met up with friends from the base. They asked him if he was doing okay, and he said “he was doing fine.” He was not going to tell them what he was planning. He knew that some of them would try to talk him out of his plans. While he was in the bar, his car was being searched and a GPS tracking device was placed under the seat. These men were professionals. They did not rummage through the car; they just took pictures of everything in the car, just so Ryan would never suspect that his car had been broke into. He left the bar around 9:00 pm and was heading straight home. He kept looking in his rear view mirror to see if he could tell if any other cars were following him. But, he did not have any idea that they did not need to follow him anymore, because he was being tracked by GPS satellite. He got home, pulled into the driveway, got out of his car, locked it, and then just stood there looking up in the sky, just as a satellite was crossing over head, just above him. He stood there for several minutes just wondering “what is out there?”

            He went into his house and realized that he had left all the papers and maps out on the table; he then said out loud “I need to be more careful, and put this stuff in the safe, when I am not looking at it.” He was trained better than that in the Military. Ryan gathered up all the documents put them into a file folder and put it all in the safe before he went to bed. But it was too late, they had already been copied. He had a hard time sleeping that night. He just laid there looking at the ceiling, just thinking, because his brain would not shut off. He was thinking about what he was going to do, if he actually found something out there on one of his trips this week. He fell asleep at around 1:00 am, but he kept waking up every little while. He was dreaming that men were in his house searching through all his belongings; but they were not earth men, they were aliens. That is what he was dreaming all night. He finally got up around 5:30 am. Since he was accustomed to getting up that early, and he was glad to be getting up. But throughout the night, Colonel Wyatt had been watching Captain Ryan, and going over all the papers that were copied from Captain Ryan’s home; and he had no clue.

            Colonel Wyatt had also been watching Joe and Brian throughout the night. The two of them were so excited to be working with Scott, which they stayed up half of the night and searched online for more unexplained sightings. Colonel Wyatt got tired of watching them; all they did was sit at their computers all night snacking on junk food. They did have a few exciting moments that one called the other over to their computer to look at. But that is all that happened at Joe and Brian’s house.
