Strange Sightings
HISTORICAL FICTION SUBMISSION:
Bill watched as fire tore the sky. Just as suddenly, the flame disappeared and a streak of dark smoke hit the ground. Whatever noise sounded at the impact was too distant for Bill to hear.
He hopped on his tractor and headed to the next field. He'd heard of airplanes in Albuquerque, but never actually seen one.
What Bill found at the crash site sent him running. As he drove to Roswell to inform the authorities, he was passed by a line of army trucks headed to his farm. By the time he returned home, the strange vehicle was gone.
