A close call

I decided to go back to the crash site. If I want to make a go of being an investigative journalist, I have to start taking some risks. This got my spidersense tingling that something other worldly could be going on. Why was no one talking about the crash? Lots about the unexploded rocket, but no one questioning its validity. 

I got to the site early this morning, around 5.15am, so it was already getting light. There was still quite a lot of security on the site as the so-called bomb hadn’t been detonated yet. I followed the GPS coordinates I’d been given as to where the meteorite/rocket had landed, so crept through a hole in the fence I knew about that surrounded the park and stuck to the bushes. The crash had supposedly been in a wooded dell in the bottom centre of the park, so there were lots of trees to cover me. Despite the hour, there was a lot of activity around the crash site, but what I found intriguing was that it looked more like a crime scene than a bomb site. No military presence at all, only a few people wearing white paper suits. I moved into a position where I could see better. The site was protected by white and blue tents, but I couldn’t see a rocket or a meteorite. When I was checking out the site, two women arrived in a Ford Focus (Reg: AJ14 QPP) with Queen Mary University of London written on the side. They donned white paper suits and entered one of the tents. After about 15 min, they exited the tent carrying a small plastic box, like a lunchbox. They talked to one of the guards and left the site. I took a few photos of them, so will see what I can dig up.
