There will be no more space tourists coming. Aliens will never land on the earth ―― at least not anymore.

I'm not just a pessimist. In fact, aliens have landed. I know. Spaceships may travel through a million worlds, but they will never come here. I also know that. All because of a ridiculous mistake.

I'm not pessimistic. In fact, aliens have landed on the earth. I know this. There may be many spaceships shuttling between millions of planets in the universe, but they will never come to us again. I also know that. And all this was caused by a ridiculous mistake.

Let me explain.

Let me explain.

This is actually Bart Cameron's fault. You must understand Bart Cameron. He's the sheriff of Twin Canyon, Idaho, and I'm his deputy. Bart Cameron is an impatient man. When he had to increase income tax, he became the most impatient. You see, besides being a sheriff, he also owns and runs a grocery store. He has some shares in a sheep farm, and he has a pension for disabled veterans (bad knees) and other similar things. Naturally, this complicates his tax figures.

Is this really Bart? Cameron's fault, so you're right about Bart? Cameron knows something about this man. He's the sheriff of Ungar Ridge, Idaho, and I'm his deputy. Bart. Cameron is a grumpy person, and he gets angry more easily when he has to figure out how much income tax he should pay. You see, besides being a sheriff, he also runs a grocery store and owns a share in sheep farm. At the same time, he also enjoys disabled veterans allowance (knee injury) and other similar allowances. In this way, his personal income tax is naturally complicated to calculate.

If he asked the tax official to handle these forms with him, the situation was not too bad, but he insisted on handling them himself, which made him a painful person. By April 65438, 2004, he was gone. It wouldn't be so bad if he asked the tax official to help him fill out the form, but he had to fill it out himself, so he was full of complaints. Every April 14, he becomes inaccessible.

So it's a pity that the UFO landed in April 14, 1956.

That UFO landed in April 1956, all wet.

I saw it land. My chair leans against the wall of the sheriff's office, and I look at the stars through the window, wondering whether I should go to bed after work or continue to listen to Cameron curse real s teady, because he is checking his number column at127th.

I watched it land. At that time, my chair was leaning against the wall of the sheriff's office. I looked at the stars outside the window and wondered whether I should go to bed after work or continue to listen to Cameron's constant scolding. He is checking the column number he filled in the tax bill for the first time127th.

At first, it looked like a meteor, but then the track of light widened into two things that looked like rocket exhaust, and that thing fell silently.

At first, it looked like a meteor, but later its trajectory became brighter and brighter, becoming two light spots, just like the airflow ejected by a rocket. That thing didn't make any noise when it landed.

9 Two people got off the bus.

Two people came out.

10 I can't say anything or do anything. I can't choke or point; I can't even bother my eyes. I just sat there.

I can't talk or do anything. The muscles in my throat are stiff, so I can't signal with my hands, and I can't even stare big. I just sat there.

1 1 Cameron? He never looked up again.

Cameron. He never looked up again.

Someone knocked at the door. The door opened and two men in the UFO came in. If I hadn't seen the UFO land, I would have thought they were city dwellers. They wear gray suits with white shirts and dark reddish-brown ties. They are wearing black shoes and black hats. They have black skin color, black curly hair and brown eyes. They look serious, and each person is about five feet ten inches tall. They look very similar.

Someone knocked at the door. The door opened and two men from the UFO came in. If I hadn't seen UFOs land, I would have thought they were from this town. They are wearing gray suits, white shirts and dark reddish-brown ties. They wear black shoes and hats, have black skin, black curly hair and brown eyes. Both of them look serious, and their height is about 5. 10 feet. They look alike.

13 god, I'm so scared.

God, I'm so scared.

14 But Cameron just looked up and frowned when the door opened. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what can I do for you?" He knocked on the form with his hand, and it was obvious that he didn't have much time.

But when the door opened, Cameron just looked up and frowned. "What can I do for you, man?" He said that he was obviously busy patting the tax bill with his hand.

15 One of the two men stepped forward. He said, "We have been observing your people for a long time." He pronounces carefully, word by word.

One of them stepped forward and said, "We have been observing your people for a long time." He spoke carefully, word for word.

16 Cameron said, "My people? I only have one wife. What has she been doing? "

Cameron said, "Our people? My wife is the only one. What did she do? "

17 The man in the suit said, "We chose this place as our first contact point because it is isolated and quiet. We know that you are the leader here. "

The man in the suit said, "We chose this place as the first contact point because it is remote and quiet. We know that you are the leader here. "

18 "I'm the sheriff. If that's what you mean, just say it. What's bothering you? "

"I'm the sheriff, this is what you want to say. If you have something to say, just say it. What kind of trouble are you in? "

We have been carefully adopting the way you dress, even your appearance. We also learned the language of your. "

"We are very cautious, follow your clothing pattern and even adopt your appearance. We also learned your language. "

You can see that Cameron is beginning to understand. He said, "Are you foreigners?" Cameron doesn't like foreigners very much. He has never met many people outside the army, but on the whole, he tries to be fair.

You can see an understanding expression on Cameron's face. He said, "Are you two foreigners?" Cameron doesn't like foreigners very much After leaving the army, he didn't see many foreigners, but on the whole, he tried his best to be fair.

2 1 The UFO bearer said, "Foreigners? That's true. We come from the water town you call Venus. "

The UFO bearer said, "Foreigners? That's right. We come from the water town you call Venus. "

Cameron didn't even blink. He said, "All right. This is America. We all enjoy equal rights regardless of race, color or nationality. I am at your service. What can I do for you? "

Cameron said without blinking an eye, "All right. This is America. Regardless of race, color and nationality, we are all equal here. I'm always at your service. What can I do for you? "

We hope that you can immediately arrange for the so-called important American figures to be brought here for discussion, so that the people of your can join our great organization.

"We hope that you will contact your country, an important person in the United States, and come here to discuss joining our organization."

Slowly, Cameron blushed. "Our people joined the your organization. We are already a part of the United Nations, and God knows what else. I think I should call the president, huh? Now? In Gemini Canyon? Send a reminder message? " He looked at me as if he wanted to see a smile on my face, but if someone pushed the chair away from me, I wouldn't fall.

Cameron's face turned red. "We join your organization. We are already members of the United Nations, and God knows what else. I think I went to the president, huh? Now? Come to Ungar Do you want me to send a courier? " He looked at me as if he wanted to see a smile on my face, but if someone pulled the chair away from behind me at this moment, I wouldn't fall to the ground.

The UFO man said, "Speed is desirable."

The UFO bearer said, "It's not too late."

26 "You want Congress, too? Supreme court? "

"Do you want Congress to come? What about the Supreme Court? "

"If they are willing to help, sheriff."

"Never mind, sheriff."

Cameron, 28, really collapsed. He slammed the income tax form and shouted, "well, you are helping me. I don't have time to pay attention to smart people who come to me, especially foreigners." If you don't get out at once, I'll lock you up for disturbing the peace and never let you out. "

Cameron is really angry now. He slammed the tax bill on the table and roared, "Well, you mess with me, and I don't have time to mess with you smart-ass people, especially foreigners." If you don't leave here at once, I'll lock you up for disturbing the peace and never let you out. "

29 "You want us to leave?" People from Venus said.

"Do you want us to leave?" Asked the Venusian.

30 "Now! Get out, go back to where you came from, and never come back. I don't want to see you, and nobody here wants to see you. "

"Let's go! Get out, go home, and don't come back. I don't want to see you. No one here wants to see you. "

The two men looked at each other.

Two people looked at each other.

Then the man who had been talking said, "I can see that you really want to be alone." It is not our way to impose ourselves or our organization on people who don't want us or our organization. We will respect your privacy and leave. We're not coming back. We will put a warning around your world, and no one will enter. "

The former spokesman went on to say, "I can see that you really don't want to be disturbed." We never want to impose our own or our organization's views on unexpected recipients. We respect your personal freedom and leave at once. We'll never come back. We will issue a warning around your earth, and no one will come again. "

Cameron said, "Sir, I'm tired of this nonsense, so I'll count to three-"

Cameron said, "Sir, that's enough. Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to start counting to three-"

They turned and left, and I realized that everything they said was so. I'm listening to them, you see, Cameron is not, because he is busy considering his income tax, as if I can hear their thoughts, you know what I mean? I know there will be a fence around the earth to keep others out.

The two men turned away, and of course I knew what they said was true. You know, I've been listening to their songs. Cameron didn't. He is just thinking about his tax bill, and I seem to know what they are thinking. Do you understand what I mean? I know that a barrier will be erected around the earth so that others can't enter.

When they left, my voice came back-it was too late. I screamed, "Cameron, for God's sake, they are from space. Why did you send them away? "

I can't talk until they leave ― it's too late. I shouted, "My God, Cameron, they are from space. Why did you drive them away? "

36 "From space!" He stared at me.

"From space!" He stared at me.

I shouted, "Look!" I don't know how I did it. He was 25 pounds heavier than me, but I grabbed his shirt collar and dragged him to the window.

I shouted, "Look!" I still don't understand what's going on He was 25 pounds heavier than me, but I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the window.

He was so surprised that he couldn't resist. When he came to his senses and made a gesture of knocking me down, he saw what was happening outside the window and was out of breath.

He didn't resist in shock. When he came to his senses and tried to knock me down, he happened to see a scene outside the window and was out of breath.

They are getting into the flying saucer, and those two people, the flying saucer, are sitting there, big and round, shining and a little powerful, you know. Then it took off. It rose as easily as a feather, and a beam of orange light appeared on the side of the boat, getting brighter and brighter as the boat became smaller until it became a meteor again and slowly disappeared.

They are getting into the flying saucer, and those two people, the flying saucer is there, you know, big, round and shiny, quite spectacular. Then the UFO took off. It rises gently and skillfully, like a feather, while emitting orange light. The light is getting stronger and stronger, the flying saucer is getting smaller and smaller, and finally it becomes a meteor and gradually disappears.

I said, "Sheriff, why did you drive them away? They must see the president. Now they will never come back. "

I said, "Sheriff, why did you drive them away? They want to see the president. Now they will never come back. "

4 1 Cameron said, "I thought they were foreigners. They said that they must learn our language. They talk very interesting. "

Cameron said, "I regard them as foreigners. They said, learn our language. And what they said is inexplicable. "

"Oh, all right. Foreigners. "

"Hum, come on, still a foreigner."

They say they are foreigners and look like Italians. I thought they were Italian. "

"They say they are foreigners and they look like Italians. I thought they were Italian. "

"How can they be Italian? They said they were from Venus. I heard you. They said so. "

"How can they be Italian? They said they were from Venus. I heard you. They said so. "

45 "Venus" His eyes were round.

"Venus." His eyes are getting more and more round.

46 "They are right. They call it a water town or something. You know there is a lot of water on Venus. "

"They say so. They call it a water town or something. You know, there is a lot of water on Venus. "

But you see, it's just a mistake, a stupid mistake, the kind that anyone can make. It's just that now there will never be another Venusian visiting us on earth. That idiot, Cameron and his income tax!

So you see, it's just a mistake, a stupid mistake, the kind that everyone makes. It's just that no Venusians will visit the earth from now on. Cameron's a fool, and his fucking tax bill!

Because he whispered, "Venus! When they said water town, I thought they meant Venice! "

I heard him muttering, "Venus! When they said water town, I thought they meant Venice! "
