ALIEN BABY FOUND IN FARMERS FIELD

Northern Laredo, Texas: An extra terrestrial the size of a small chicken was discovered in a field of tobacco plants, only to be destroyed minutes later.
Sixth-grade identical twins Benny and Buck Howard found the being on their way to church. The first adult on the scene was Mrs Faye Ballporn, wife of Dr. Jackson Ballporn, a local veterinarian and part owner of the Paloma tobacco farm. Mrs. Ballporn became suspicious upon the discovery of two disemboweled pigs and a half-eaten tobacco-sack in the family barn. She was soon alerted to the creature’s whereabouts by the young Howard twins, whom she heard screaming and crying.
"They found the little monster lying in a pool of its own vomit," said Mrs. Ballporn. “It looked as though it had eaten itself to death." She described it as having the body of a large fowl but the head of a small human child. According to Buck Howard, it made a high-pitched squealing noise before it died. "It sounded like my baby brother Timmy," he added.
Dr. Ballporn arrived on the scene and immediately burned the remains, claiming it could have harbored "evil alien" disease. He later retracted that statement, claiming, "It was just a sick parrot, that's all." Dr Ballporn went on to dismiss his wife’s descriptions, noting that Mrs. Ballporn had been on a number of anti-depressants and was having "trouble with reality." Dr. Ballporn also brushed aside the Howard boys’ obvious emotional distress. He explained that the Howard family was well known for mental issues, and accused the local church of being the main cause of their problems. As for the ravages in the barn, Dr Ballporn claimed that his cat had eaten the pigs and that he had eaten the tobacco, using the plant to quell his cigarette cravings. Dr. Ballporn then threatened the International Universe news crew, and said that if his property were invaded again, the Paloma Corporation would sue.
