The post read: “Well, you never know what will be traveling through Crawford County but this one was a little out of this world.

“These friendly humanoids, who have come in peace, are heading west to Roswell, NM for a festival.

“There was a brief conversation about his out of space, correction, out of state registration, but he assured us that he would take care of that issue when he returned to Krypton. He was also warned about our strict enforcement of warp speed on the interstate and to keep his phasers on stun only while traveling.”
