They Came From Beyond The Stars!
Story: On July 7th 1947 we discovered that we are not alone in this universe. An alien scouting vessel crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. The newly formed UN set up the Planetary Defense Agency to protect earth against possible invasion from the stars. It is now the 21st of December 1959. For the past week many UFOs have been spotted over earth. They appear to be preparing for a mass invasion. Governments have been passing the sightings off as mass hysteria but it isn't known how long people will believe them. When the sightings first began, East Berlin was evacuated and there has been no contact by anyone on the other side of the iron curtain. The PDA began recruiting new members. You are one such person and are joining the PDA base located in North America. Good luck, the fate of the world is in your hands.
