“Hey, space fans. It's the Maniac
here with a spooky space story. You know,
about one of every ten Americans has seen

a UFO, and maybe one million

people say they have been taken inside
an alien spaceship-including me! Here's

what happened in my close encounter.”

One night | was cruising in my 6550
Outback Racer when I saw
hundreds of lights zoom toward
earth. They zigzagged, went
backwards, and made turns
no airplane could. The
Outback Racer sped to 85
miles per hour and turned
off the road, but | wasn't
driving it! It was as ifa
giant magnet was
fueling my car.
Suddenly the car died,
and a dazzling light
beamed down. A UFO!
It glowed with red
pulsating tubes and bristled
with lasers. | stepped

com Regret dd out of the car without &
elevator! wanting to, and a robot

Jed me to the startighter.

.--Suddenty the car died, and a dazzling fight beamed dowm. A UFO!

Out of nowhere, | heard a voice. “My name is
Andy. 1am a scout from the planet Humorless.
You will represent your puny planet, Earth, in an
intergalactic building contest.”

“Lucky me,” | answered without speaking.
Weird! Our thoughts went flying back and forth.
The starfighter blasted off and stopped under a
huge spinning disc. The robot popped the
hatch, and | floated up to the saucer like | was
on an elevator.

A tall Alien came in,
put his ugly face next
to mine, and read my
mind. Luckily it was
empty.

While | was thinking

«the Alien read my mind,

fuckily it was empty.

about not thinking,
Pp ‘more captured
aliens from other planets entered the room.

“We need a new interstellar starfighter design
for the 21st century,” the tall Alien said. “You
will all compete against me, Alpha Draconis,
to construct a most excellent spacecraft to

* propel us into the future.”

One by one, Alpha Draconis eliminated the other
‘builders until he and I were the only two left in the
contest. | knew he was trying to cheat by reading
my mind and stealing my ideas. So | distracted
+him by thinking about bad TV sitcoms while | built.
When he finished with his model, Alpha Draconis

Alpha Draconis declared “The contest is over, | win!”

declared “The contest is over. My ‘spaceship is
hetter, Earthling. | win”.

While the aliens cheered their leader, | ‘pointed my
ship’s laser at the Alien’s ship and disabled its
weapon system. Then | slammed the warp engine
into hyper drive and headed home. As | landed, a
faint message came over my radio from the Alien
Leader aboard the #6975 Alien Avenger. “Very
clever, Maniac. You won for now. But watch out.
We know where you live, and we'll be back.”

‘know the Aliens will be back, so I’m going to
watch the skies for UFOs. And you should too!
