Borracho Dispatch, March 3, 1937 Well seams a couple of ol’ prospecters come across this up in the back hills of Borracho, also seams no one can figure out how it got out in the middle of a stinkin desert! Worse off no one seams to know who made or what it is. From the looks or her shes been their for a few years, maybe decades. One of the school kids said its a rocketship from Mars, till someone pointed out the propeller. The Mayor of Borracho suggested it was a newfangled Holland Navy Submarine that the Navy musta “abandoned”, huh? Why the heck was it abandoned in the middle of the desert? We contacted the Navy via telephone, the person on the other end told us we musta been drunk, The Smithy and the Sheriff finally got her opened, found only enough room for 2 people inside, and the logbook, most of the pages were missing or was writtten in a code of some sort but they did find a single sentance in the notebook in English written by a certain Sgt Pepper, it said, “Test run of 1/4 scale prototype succesfull, ready to commence full scale construction” Their was some other references to a “sea of holes” that none of us here could understand. Another school kid said that to get where it was, it musta flown their! Utter Rubbish! we all know submarines cant fly! Well anyway here she is, all loaded waiting to be chained down and shipped to the Poindexters at the Navy H.Q. in Anapolis, Maryland, least thats where they say their shipping her. Yeap, they finally stood up and took notice after we wired them a couple of photo’s, seems the British Navy is also very interested for some durn reason.

Heres another closer view

Well thats the latest news from Borracho

So there is an underground ocean under the united states, you better take down this reference to it, al Queda might stumble across the entrance to it and blow the midwest up, sinking it to the bottom of the ocean!!

Watch out out for the men in black Vic

Do you perchance mean The Royal Navy? There is no 'British Navy', but there is only ONE 'Royal Navy'.

Wait, wasn’t the British Navy once headquartered in Liverpool? Led by the notorious Adm, Lennon? He and Captain Harrison are no longer with us, so they’re of no help in identifying this strange object. Sir McCartney might be able to lend a hand, but better ask quickly. I believe all his naval warfare reference books are going to his ex. Alas, poor Commander Starr has been marooned on the Isle of Sodor for so long, I’m not entirely sure he’d recognize any mechanical device that didn’t have a grey face on it anymore.

Perhaps it’s best that this object remain a complete mystery. While truth is often stranger than fiction, there’s no substitute for a good fish tale.

Later,

Did they find it close to area 51?
Could be a flying sub from WWII.
