We were given he details of a story and were told to make it into a newspaper report that should be realistic. If you read this, would you believe it if it was published front page in say The Sun or News of the World?:) I understand the content of the story isn’t realistic ( Martians etc) but does my style of writing this convey it as a real newspaper report that is believable? Thank you:).
ALIENS DEVASTATE SURREY!
Martians in huge metal cylinder crash to earth- then kill Britain’s most treasured astronomers!
In the early hours of yesterday, Horsell Common was devastated when martians in a gigantic metal cylinder crashed down to Earth, blasting a deathly light ray on the town; killing two of Britain’s most treasured astronomers along with hundreds of innocent civilians. John Nickleson (a scientist) witnessed the astonishing event unfold and helps us to understand the bizarre predicaments of yesterday through his own scientific understanding!
For many months Nickleson had observed strange occurrences take place on Mars’s surface -from his Surrey based laboratory- such as over ten million flashes, that he was right to believe were all being caused by huge projector screens from alien technology! However James Stent (an astronomer royal) did not believe Nicklesons claims, casting them as ‘far too unrealistic!’ Instead Stent labeled them as ‘meteor collisions.’
Stent was proved to be wrong when a large metal cylinder cascaded ‘with full velocity’ from abnormal heights, into By-fleet Golf Links; scarring Surrey’s picturesque countryside forever, leaving an enormous crater the size of ‘two football pitches!’. Nickleson describes the creatures he saw emerge out of the cylinder to be "slug-like and chinless, in addition to the strong gravitational pull on Earth they were evidently not accustomed to!". He adds, " the beasts had long oily tentacles! Hundreds of desperately scared on-lookers fled the area in fear!". However at 10:37am, the riveted, ‘armadillo-shaped’ copper machine shot a pencil ray of deathly light out to the east of Surrey, demolishing all human activity clean off the Earth that laid to the east, leaving behind a black, bare flattened line ‘ as far as the eye could see!’. James Stent and Ovalgy (Stent’s assistant) decided to venture towards the copper object in hope of uncovering a rational explanation. Prior to their ‘up-close investigation’, Stent had ordered all emergency services to refrain from entering the sight- as it would waste their time! Orders were hastily accepted. Just seven minutes later, both Stent and Ovalgy were abducted by the martians; little to the knowledge of the emergency services! Meanwhile, bustling colonies of frantic people bellowed for help from promised squadrons of helicopters to capture this obscure copper ‘beast’, but all emergency services stood back- following Stents orders not to move unless told by him otherwise!
Towards the end of the day, authorities concluded that over 200 people had lost their lives in addition to the deathly light ray blasting them. Plus a further 100 people -including Stent and Ovalgy- have been listed as ‘missing under extreme circumstances,’ as well as the metal cylinder itself that sawed back into space at 11:40 approx. Police forces, helicopter squadrons and troops were all extremely regretful that they refrained from acting on the event, but insist they were under strict instructions from Stent to stay back. Unfortunately NASA couldn’t investigate the copper machine or martians, hence no-one understands their current location or even why they decided to show up on Earth. However, them just making an appearance has defied science and there will be an on-going investigation! For further information visit aliensdemolishsurrey@hotmail.co.uk .
