Free Don't Mess With Earth by Cliff Ball

conquering them and their territories, and then
he would have the whole world to himself. The prediction fell apart
when Hitler made a strategically bad blunder when he ordered an
attack on the Soviet Union while still trying to take over Western
Europe and bombing England into submission and when Japan
miscalculated the reaction the United States would have when they
bombed Pearl Harbor.
    When the United States ends up testing up a
nuclear weapon in the desert of New Mexico, this threw out the
prediction of humans not inventing nuclear weapons or nuclear power
until the end of the twentieth century. The next question was whom
would the Americans use it on, Tokyo or Berlin? Berlin made more
sense, with it being easier to fly to than Japan, but the Germans
surrendered after a massive invasion by the Allies, so the nukes
wouldn’t be used on them; however, the apparent logistics of nuking
the Japanese seemed nearly impossible for the current state of
technology on Earth. Japan was further than any American bomber
could fly, and it could be quite dangerous to any naval ship to
carry a nuke and then be attacked, because it could go off. The
Americans though, seemed to like pulling off the impossible,
because they managed to drop two bombs on Japan within a week,
causing the Japanese to surrender. After those two failed
predictions, the Terrans decided it would be best to end the
predictions and stop underestimating this current generation of
mankind.
    After the war, the United States and the
Soviet Union entered a state of cold war between the two
superpowers and both started testing bigger and more advanced
atomic bombs, underground, in the Pacific, and the frozen continent
of Antarctica. The thought never occurred to the Terrans that the
Ragnor would return to Earth when one of their ships detected the
energy pulses given off by these bombs. The Ragnor sent two scout
ships so that they could search the Earth and find the locations of
nuclear weapons laboratories. As one of the Ragnor ships flew over
North America, mainly over the United States, people on the ground
begin claiming they were seeing flying saucers. The cloak of the
Ragnor ships’ was making it appear that the ship was a flying
saucer, because apparently the cloak was not very effective inside
of Earths’ atmosphere, and not only that, but the United States
Army was able to track the ship on radar because of the flaw in the
design of the alien ship. As the ship flew across the country, air
bases sent out P-51 fighters to try to intercept the fast moving
craft; some people on the ground even attempted to shoot down the
Ragnor ship with rifles and shotguns, which was not in any way
effective.
    The alien ship stopped and hovered over Los
Alamos, New Mexico, when the Ragnor detected a high amount of
radiation in the area. Nearby, at the Roswell Army Air Field, the
control tower picked up the ship on radar, the pilots were called
to scramble their fighter aircraft, and intercept the bogey. A few
minutes later, a P-51 pilot by the name of Chuck Yeager intercepted
the Ragnor ship, made a few circles around it to check out the
ship, tried to communicate with the ship, and then contacted flight
control in Roswell, “Flight Control, this is Yeager, I’ve
intercepted the bogey. It definitely looks like nothing I’ve ever
seen; all attempts to contact the craft have failed. I am now going
to try to shoot the unidentified flying object down. I will keep
you informed, Yeager out.”
    The Ragnor were not paying attention to the
human aircraft flying around their ship, since they obviously
thought they were invisible to the humans, until a hail of aircraft
bullets hit the ship. They attempted to leave the area since they
had no weapons on these scout ships, but whomever the human pilot
was, seemed determined to shoot them down. The other Ragnor ship
was contacted and informed that the one in North America was being
shot at, so the other one was supposed to immediately leave
