Well, this is f*cking great.I just ran out of gas. I have no clue as to where I am, except that I'm somewhere south of Lynchburg and north of Roanoke. Still can't get any real news, but there are plenty of other sites on the internet with information.

From what I've been able to piece together, these craft began crashing into Earth early this morning. For the most part, they seemed to end up in remote areas where they could assemble their "walkers" unencumbered by human interference.

One notable exception was one that ended smack in the middle of the Seine River in Paris. The occupants of the ship drowned when they opened their craft. Divers quickly entered the vessel and discovered components for six of the 40 foot tall walkers, and as many as 20 alien beings. They are described as being about five feet tall, with six limbs. It is believed they are from Mars, where they apparently live underground.

One French astrobiologist theorized that these "Martians" were forced to move underground when the surface of their planet became uninhabitable. This may well have happened several thousand years ago, and they've spent the intervening years planning the invasion of Earth so they could rebuild their civilization.

The walkers were devised as weapons, as well as provide the occupants with needed transportation. Earth's higher gravity is probably a serious problem for them.

Gotta go. I'm hearing voices from somewhere up ahead.
