Space Aliens in "Me" Park?

 Ay up, everyone!  It's Hanley Bear here, with a guest post for Sonning's blog about something strange that happened in Me Park during the summer.

"Me Park" being Hanley Park, of course, which is also the best park in the world, so I suppose that's why visitors from outer space came to have a look at it and landed their spacecraft there!

I was with the group of humans who have a regular Wednesday walk around Me Park when we spotted something very strange up in the top field.  I could see at once that it was definitely not from Earth and was probably an alien base of some sort, although the humans guarding it were doing a good job of persuading other passers-by that it was something to do with art.

A few days later, Polar and Grizzly took me back with them for a closer look.  By this time, a large crowd had gathered, and some of them were being allowed into the alien base!  One of the people pretending it was art gave us a map; it looked very easy to get lost inside, but I did my best to memorise it.

Polar and Grizzly had to take their shoes off to go inside but my small bear claws were small enough not to damage the strange fabric, so I was allowed in too.  I could see straight away that it was definitely not a human thing!

The people guarding it said all the light inside was natural but, although it was a dull day outside, the colours inside were glowing.  Definitely alien technology!  I told Grizzly I thought the aliens were probably friendly but not to get too close to any funny egg-shaped things we found on the floor, just in case.

I thought I spotted a small alien figure crawling along one of the passageways, but it turned out to be a human cub.  

 

I followed it anyway and found the most amazing chamber with a beautiful ceiling covered in patterns, which are probably alien writing.  I wondered if it explained the way to get to their home planet, or how to make homes like this for humans too.

We had plenty of time to carry on exploring but I couldn't find anywhere that looked like an engine room or control panel, just more colourful corridors and bouncy-walled small rooms.

I had hoped to meet the aliens and thank them for coming to visit Me Park, but we only saw their human helpers...

... unless the human helpers were the aliens, disguised as humans!
