Starman 2

    As soon as the "flying saucer" landed in Iowa six of its human like occupants disembarked and immediately headed off in different directions. Some traveled cross country, others followed the backroads and highways in search of signs of life of the occupants of the planet. They would observe everything they could and relate it back to their fellow investigators when they return home. The were extremely interested to find out about the inhabitants of this planet that was so similar to theirs and the inhabitants that were so similar to themselves.

It was a bitterly cold winter's night and all of the visitors new that it was essential for them to find shelter from the snow blizzards that they had found themselves delivered into. One of them was trudging along through the snow when he came across what looked like a crash site. His immediate thought was that it was the ship that had delivered him to this planet only a few hours earlier. But as he came closer he realized it was an earth vehicle, or what was left of an earth vehicle. There were fragments and bodies strewn across the field. He checked all the bodies he could see in the  cold dark but there were no signs of life. This was supposed to be a momentous occasion for him as it was his first contact with the alien race that he had come to investigate, but he felt more sadness than pride as it was a horrible scene of recent, tragic death and there was nothing he could do to help these poor beings who he saw were so similar to himself.

In amongst the wreckage he noticed there were some suitcases that had broken apart and strewn their contents around the crash site. Although it was macabre he decided to make use of the clothes that he had found to not only keep him warm but to help him look more like the planet's occupants. He tried on some shirts, jackets and pants which seemed to fit over his body hugging space attire and trudged off away from the accident scene to try and find living humans.

It was well into daylight before he stumbled into a small town and he realized this would be his first contact with live people. With trepidation he walked along the town's main street.
