Ok, this task was pretty fun. I made two alien pictures, both related, and then inserted them into a letter I typed up in Microsoft Word. The letter and pictures are as follows:

To Whom It May Concern,

Yesterday, I was walking past the Burke County courthouse and noticed something white looking moving in the bushes. I approached cautiously, but then was surprised when out leapt two space aliens. They were very thin, with a white reptilian skin, and they had a sort of greenish glow around them. One of them appeared to wave hello to the civil war statue, but then the other spotted me and began to run. Fortunately I had my digital camera with me and was able to snap this photo of them right as they began to run away:


They ran around to the northwest side of the courthouse and I began running away, down the sidewalk towards Concord Street. As I fled, I heard a rather large roar and looked over my shoulder in time to see what appeared to be a “flying saucer” rising up into the air behind the courthouse. I raised my camera to snap a shot and at that very moment the saucer sped forward and hit the dome on the top of courthouse and knocked it clean off. Debris flew everywhere and the ship climbed quickly into the sky and out of sight. Here is the picture:


I looked everywhere for other witnesses, but there just didn’t seem to be anyone who saw the aliens. I think there must be a cover up in place because I went back by the courthouse today and the dome had been rebuilt overnight. I just thought you, the reporters, should know about all this. Thank you for listening.

Sincerely,

(Signature)

Max Merriweather

After drafting up the letter, I printed it and added a faux signature for Max Merriweather. Then Brandon and I went to the post office and dropped it in the mailbox at 6:17pm. The letter should be on its way to the local newspaper. Here are some pictures. The first is the printed letter and the second is a pic of me putting it in. I'll post a followup if anything happens as a result of this.
