Airforce Explains Giant Dodecahedrons


Crawford: After nearly seven months of strenuous denials by the Pentagon officials of any knowledge of the occurance, an Airforce spokesman has stepped forth and admitted that no only did the Airforce know about the April appearance of giant dodecahedrons in the town of Coon Grove (see: May, 1996: Vol. 3, Issue #5), but was in fact responsible for it.

     Captain Billy Mitchell McClure appeared before the town council and publically acknowledged that the seven bizarre objects seen by hundreds of spring festival picnicers were experimental zepplins carrying All Weather Avionics Targeting instruments known as AWAT. The electrical discharges, he explained, were the result of the phenomena known as St. Elmo's Fire interacting with inadequately insulated remote sensing devices packed aboard each zepplin. St. Elmo's fire is thought to have cause the destuction of the famous German Airship, Hindenburg at Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1933. Because of this and other problems, Captain McClure stated that the program and the airships had been scrapped.

     Asked why the zepplins were shaped so oddly, Capt. McClure explained that while he was not at liberty to go into great deal, the body design provided a flexible yet stable platform for AWAT instruments.

     According to a number of area residents, the Airforce spokesperson was "full of hot air".
