An Astronomer has joined the happy party at Ringer’s Ruins. The hillside location is the best spot in town for a telescope, and today the Astronomer is a man on a mission.

“I witnessed aliens floating in the sky earlier this week,” he told The Perthville Times. “I fully expect an invasion – if not today, then tomorrow.”

His fellow townspeople are less than thrilled at the prospect, and he has lost credibility with all his friends.

“But I see the Pope and a Secret Service agent are here now, so this place is pumping!” the Astronomer said in a brighter tone.
