PLOT: The boys together with their friends compile a report on how the rubber ball like aliens got where they were, and in the case of the formation of ghost crews, and ghost bands, got the pants that pairs of them wore at open manholes and long closed nightclubs. Even today, a few of the ghost crews are still active, though not as numerous as they once were.

8:00 am, Friday, June 29,2004, the Hansen boys are going over a stack of police reports obtained from the police departments in Buffalo, Rochester, and Maple Heights, Ohio pertaining to a series of mysterious break ins at clothing stores around these cities, all of which happened around midnight, shortly after the first of the ghost crews set up "shop" at open manholes around each city. Jeff says to his brother, amazed,"Paul, did you notice that in each of these stores, only certain pants have come up missing from the men's clothing section?" Paul replies with a state of amazement, " I sure have. The pants worn by pairs of those rubber ball like aliens at various manholes are among those that came up missing. Cotton twill work pants referred to as "Dickies", mostly, but also including khakis and Chinos as well." Jeff then asks, with a surprised look on his face,' How did those balls get into the stores without popping, in order to get the pants that pairs of them would be wearing, both at manholes and in the "ghost bands" in deserted night clubs?" Paul replies," the balls had to have broken windows to get in the stores, for these are no ordinary rubber balls, they are an alien life form of the likes of which we had never seen before. Most are dark green in color, and all have those antennae that we have seen at manholes when the ghost crews crouch down around the open manhole with the pump like machine running as if pumping fresh air down into the manhole. Unsuspecting passersby think they are seeing a phone company line crew at work late at night, but what they are seeing are several pairs of "Dickies" usually of the same color, being worn by pairs of these balls and with their antennae fully extended."

Jeff then says, calmly," these balls are highly excitable by jazz music, especially by trios involving bass, piano, drums, as well as by the types of pants that pairs of them prefer to wear, usually casual wear, such as Chinos, Khakis and the like. They also go for the no belt white pairs as well, particularly for ghost bands. That is why the ghost bands and ghost crews have had 'chaser balls' accompanying them; so they could go after young men wearing the types of pants these things prefer and somehow duplicate them for pairs of them to wear, both at manholes and in the ghostbands.
