The staff at Shangn La The flagpole situated on the Main Street in Newtown Connecticut which was for so long a local landmark was thrust into national and even international prominence that spring day rn April of nineteen fifty six by the visitation of a flying saucer The fact was that this object which had apparently come from outer space was manned by a fellow townsman who after learning about the use of flying platforms develop ed for the armed forces con TIME WILL TELL Aff' ceived and executed perhaps one of the most original pub l1c1ty stunts to generate the curiosity of the public The task he was to un dertake was not an easy one but hrs ingenious mind and wealthy pocketbook were all the assets he needed Soon after finding a well secluded place of which Newtown had many at that time he built the saucer in secrecy and Joined ranks with a fellow who had helped to develop the flying platform One of the most d1ff1cult parts of their work now was the careful ordering of required supplies so as not to arouse any suspicion as to their use The aluminium for the body was ordered through a salesman who was lead to believe that its use was to roof a barn The motor was ordered piece by piece from various agencies throughout the country The fuel was first planned to be made from raw materials, but when complications set m the fuel had to be obtained directly without too many questions being asked Through much consideration and careful planning it was decided that the best way to do this was to order it gallon by gallon each to come from a different refinery That fall and winter were spent assembling the saucer Sometimes the friends worked long into the night and often they toiled without eating a single meal Soon though it was finished and ready for its first test flight when it failed to function properly our friend thought that all was lost but through the encouragement of his colleague they soon began to diagnose the saucer s troubles Several weeks later the device was tested again and found to fly like a dream, and so the stage was set Now all that was needed was to pick the right time of day so that everyone possible could see it and that they didl Few who were there will ever forget the sight of the saucer traveling the length of Main Street and hovering over the flagpole for a length of five mmutes During which time it was photographed by two enthusiastic camera bugs and sketched by a local artist who happened to be in the vicinity at the time Its authenticity was vouched for by a judge three lawyers a doctor two clergymen and several other citizens above reproach As the news hit the wires Newtown became the center of world attention and such prominent figures as the President of the United States who was elected to a later delegation from the United Nations which had long since been disbanded- a Senate investigation committee headed by a senator from Milwaukee who later was assassinated: several scientists from all corners of the world, who later suffered from stiff necks and several mysterious men who spoke with a marked Russian accent. When the shock and tribulation was over and our friends realized what they had done and saw that they could never fly the saucer again they sadly went home and dismantled their ingenious machine. For many years after that their lives were spent dreaming of thei.r now historic flight. As for Newtown it was transformed from a once pastoral community into a bustling city where govern- mental scientist and engineers spent their time struggling to learn about what the saucer really was, where it came from and why it had chosen Newtown for its strange little appearance. To this day approximately fifty years after that April day when it happened no one has told who flew the saucer nor has anyone let on that they knew anything about the fabulous flight nor will they because of the fact that they would only be laughed at by the world. This story is to be put in the time capsule that is to be buried in Newtown in this year of two thousand and sixg it's the only factually written account of how our Flagpole be- came a national monument. For you see and built the saucer and since my friend has long been deceased and since I am writing this on my death bed it will be the only true record until the capsule is opened.
