Alien Invasion - The Second Wave

It may look like a rubber ball, but it is something you do not want to play with." The boy replied,"oh, okay, thanks for the warning," and went home.

As the boys made their way to Route 204 to get on I-490 west, they spotted and logged six more ghost crews, of which five of them each consisted of three pairs of dark green pants and one of light brown, each worn by a pair of the alien rubber balls. At 945 p.m., the boys hit I-490 west to start the trip to Maple Heights, Ohio.

As they cruised by the Churchville exit, they faxed back a picture of a ghost crew to their sister, Lisa, 23, who was the office manager for the family detective agency. As Lisa Hanson gave the pictures to her Father, a couple hours later, the boys reached Harborcreek, PA truckstop where they refueled and got a snack. It was 12:30 a.m., June 2, 2004, when the Hanson boys left for Maple Heights, Ohio. By this time, the ghost crews, many of them dark and light green pants, being worn by pairs of alien rubber balls were active. At about the same time, the "ghost bands" were getting started in long closed night clubs and the jazz being played was getting the chaser balls all stirred up. It was the sound of thedrumming ball on the cymbals that stirred them up, since instead of a live drummer, a pair of white, beltless bellbottoms, worn by a pair of the alien rubber balls sat on the stool.

What commuters and others in Maple Heights were not aware of was that the trip to work, etc. was going to be a nightmare, marked by numerous multiple vehicle accidents as the chaser balls began to reek havoc throughout the Maple Heights area.

It was 3:30 am as the Hanson Boys got off I480 west at the Lee Road exit and they had already seen no fewer than six ghost crews and a like number of chaser balls going after someone. Five ghostcrews were dark green workpants worn by pairs of rubber balls, the other, light green, all with twin antennae extended.

As they turned onto Libby Road, west, Jeff noticed a manhole cover being bounced at Broadway, but from below, and the cover strikes the bottom of a Dodge Caravan sending it out of control and into a light pole. Luckily no one was hurt, but the chaser ball had caught up with a young man wearing light brown 'dickies' and attacked by bouncing off him in rapid fire fashion. In several other locations around town, the ghost crews had an addition in the form of a duplication of the "dickies" the young man was wearing, only this time a pair of alien rubber balls would be wearing them, while the young man, still wearing his, would be shocked by the sight of what was a duplication of his pants crouching down by an open manhole with two sticklike antennae sticking up from the rubber balls wearing them.

It was 4:00 am and the Hanson boys had just crossed the Libby Road bridge over the NS and WLE tracks on their way to 5200 Beech Avenue.

At the Dunham Road intersection, they spotted one more ghost crew, only this time the color of the pants being worn by the alien rubber balls was light brown with black belt. All had their twin antennae extended. As the boys turn right, the chaser ball has gone after a young man wearing dark green 'dickies" bounced him, then went after his companion, who had on a white beltless pair of bell bottoms, of which duplicates would be worn by a pair of alien rubber balls and seated at the drums of a ghost band. The ball was not through just jet.
