In the glaring daylight hours of 24-Sep-2023, here’s what happened.
A small black spaceship landed in the desert sands of Utah in the USA
Within a few minutes, a plane from the US forces landed at the site
A few members got down from the US airplane. They strode towards the spaceship carefully and wrapped the spaceship quickly.
Immediately after that, it was carried and taken on-board their plane. The plane flew to a special centre nearby
Nitrogen air was blown over it continuously to decontaminate it (so no soil or other particles from earth) would enter it.
From there, the spaceship was taken to a bigger Space Center at Houston
Hola aliens! Anyone there? No alien has emerged so far from this spaceship. But what we know for sure are two clues -
This spaceship is from an asteroid (close to earth)
This spaceship is friendly (i.e. Earthians were expecting to see it land in Utah)
