Report 11/4/2552

Report 11/4/2552 was the official name for a report developed and written by several intelligence officers of the Victorian Independent State after an encounter by a flight of Victorian Air Force pilots with a large group of on the frontier of on the afternoon of November 4th, . As the flight resulted in the death of one pilot, the remaining rebels were interviewed as to what happened by their commanding officer, Philip Quinn. After all the pilots mentioned a beam of some sort coming from the unknown objects, their commander immediately reported it to Victorian Independent State intelligence in the nearby capital of Agley, half wondering if it was aircraft, and if it was a new discovery, wanting credit for his unit's discovering of it.
Within forty eight hours of the report, several intelligence officers arrived at the base, extensively questioned the pilots from the November 4th sortie, and asked for any gun camera footage or evidence from the sortie. They received it, and went about studying what had happened. After several weeks of nonstop study of the evidence and interviews, the officers were only able to deduce that these were not craft, but extraterrestrial craft of another form. Soon after, an addendum was attached the the report after a unit of Victorian Independent State militia were ambushed on the frontier by craft matching the description of those that had been encountered by the pilots on November 4th during a search for the downed pilot who had shot down on that sortie.
To prevent any panic within the population, when presented with the report, Karl Afeld ordered the truth to be kept from the population, instead staging a memorial ceremony for the dead pilot and the militia sent to rescue him, with their cause of death, instead of being from extraterrestrial craft, was stated as being pro- insurgents who had managed to get a hold of weapons on the black market. While the possibility of energy weapons technology for the rebels was an appealing one for Afeld and the Victorian Independent State leadership, it was far too risky to search for it, both for the cost in resources and the possibility the general populace would realize that they had been lied to, and rise up against the government.
The Report was later confiscated by the after the retook , and task forces were sent to various areas on the planet to search for what they knew were artifacts.
