I have always wanted to write a headline or lede like that one. I grew up listening to Art Bell's radio show, Coast to Coast AM, and devouring books and documentaries about extraterrestrials (especially Area 51 and Barney and Betty Hill). I also found those early internet message boards about alien visitations and Roswell to be very exciting places.
I am 100% certain that I once saw a ghost. Famed paranormal investigators the Warrens even confirmed it. But alas, I have never seen a UFO or extraterrestrials in the flesh. While I have always wanted to write a headline or lede announcing First Contact, it would seem that I will have to wait for some other time in the future — if ever — to do such a thing.
