Description

An alien landing station is discovered high on a mountaintop by two young boys, Jeffy and Jody, who were beginning their early summer vacation. They had left their dirt bikes by the pathway and climbed to the mountaintop only to discover a large military hangar and spaceships. After being abducted by two tall, gray beings, they were taken into the hangar and subjected to a strange controlling. They were then deposited back to their dirt bikes. In panic, the boys sped home to tell their parents. This led to action by the men of the near city, Hains. Jeff, the father of Jeffy and the chief of police, along with his deputies, confirmed that the young boys' story was true. They also learned that aliens can and would attack to protect themselves. The men watched in horror as one of their vehicles exploded into flames...then they saw a huge plume of smoke rise over Hains.

About the Author
Born in Ontario, when mailmen still drove horse and cutters to deliver mail in her area, and farmers still used horses to work their fields, Norma was the fifth child from hard-working parents who still remembered the First World War, the Depression, and then the Second World War. The children learned how to work and at the age of six, Norma was working in the potato field earning her own money during the summers.
Her childhood was quite lonely as being the youngest by six years, she learned how to entertain herself and had a very imaginative mind. She learned to draw at a very early age and knew how to draw in 3D before she ever went to school at age six. Drawing was not at the top of the educational list in those days, but writing was. Her worst subject was always spelling, second was grammar, and third was math. All other subjects, she could draw pictures in in order to pass her tests. But her imagination was exploding in her head and she had to write. She soon began to enjoy it.
Poetry was her first attempt at writing and according to her humble opinion, her poems were good. It came easy for her to put her feelings on paper. She finally began to write short stories, then moved onto novels, until she finally decided to publish and here it is.
She had enjoyed writing The Invisible Visitors as the story never seems to slow down long enough to become boring, and her mind is racing on to a sequel to this book as fun as it might be.

Chapter 1
The sun was just creeping over the far horizon when Jeffy and Jody, Jeffy’s younger brother, quietly grabbed an apple each along with a diet Rite breakfast bar, and slipped out the back door of their family home. Not a word was spoken between them as they headed toward the back shed. As they opened the shed door, the squeak of the rusty brackets sliced through the morning silence.
With some effort, the boys tugged their dirt bikes out of the shed and pushed the machines out onto the lane way that led toward the road fifty feet beyond them.
It was the first day of summer holidays and they did not want to miss one moment of riding their new dirt bikes. Besides, Mom and Dad would enjoy a sleep-in without the two of them; or at least that is what the boys agreed. Once out on the road, they climbed onto the seats of the bikes and started their motors and took off.
They were headed toward the mountain because that of course is where everyone should ride a dirt bike, they told each other. With the wind blowing in their faces and through their hair, they were finally free. No more school, no more books, just day after day of unending fun.
The trail they followed, once they reached the mountain, was tough, but they endured the trip with gusto, stopping every now and then to catch their breath and to decide on direction and distance.
The sun was climbing high in the sky when Jeffy and Jody reached close to the top of the mountain. Shutting off their bikes, the two boys dropped down into a grassy patch of ground amid rocks and boulders. Above them, white, puffy clouds sifted across the unending blue of the summer sky. To their right, a whisky jack screamed its annoyance of the boys’ presence in its territory.
With it being close to lunchtime, the boys opened their packs and removed their snacks of apples, diet Rite bars, and a flask of cold water each.
Jeffy took a bite of his McIntosh apple, the juice escaping from the bite and dribbling down his chin. Jody on the other hand preferred the tasty diet bar. He could never understand how something so yummy was for a diet, but as he thought to himself, Whatever.
After their rest and early lunch, the two boys began to search the area for a new trail to follow. About one hundred feet further up the mountain, they discovered a slightly used one that led off to the right of the trail they were now on. They decided to walk it and see what was up there. Jody was worried about their bikes being left below, but Jeffy affirmed them to be safe, being no one else was around.
As they reached the end of the trail that had been another hundred or so feet, they discovered a strange and frightening sight.
The very top of the mountain was a great valley or perhaps it was a sleeping volcano. It was about one thousand feet deep, or even more, encircled with heavy bush and jutting out boulders. But it was not the layout of the mountain-top that was so scary, but what was in it.
A huge manmade structure, like an airplane hangar, was at the left side with a large tarmac surface stretching out over the entire bottom of the valley. Smaller out buildings dotted the outer area of the tarmac. This certainly looked like a military base with equipment, jeeps, and helicopters, but the most threatening machinery down there was the UFO.
Chapter 2
The two boys stood as if frozen from shock. Jeffy whispered to Jody that he wanted to get a little closer to see what was going on. Slowly and carefully he picked his way through the mountain brush and the boulders surrounding the edge of the ravine. Of course, Jody was at his heel. It was only minutes when they came upon a low, wire fence hidden mostly by brush and grass. It was Jody who began to climb over the fence and then Jeffy followed him.
The fence must have been wired with an alarm because almost immediately, the boys were not alone. Behind the two boys came a ‘presence’ that at first they did not acknowledge until they heard in their minds (as though they were thinking it), “Do not go any farther.” Both boys stopped and slowly looked behind them. Two tall, gray alien beings were there, holding a strange form of a weapon. Again in their minds they heard, “Slowly walk down toward the building.” Jeffy gave a side look toward his brother and saw Jody almost in tears. Oh no , thought Jeffy, don’t start crying now .
As they were directed down the inside of the ridge to the valley below, Jeffy memorized the appearance of the two aliens behind them. Both were tall, about seven feet or more, and were an eerie gray color. They were hairless and had huge almond-shaped eyes that were near a black tinge. They didn’t look real or else they were wearing suits of some sort. Jeffy tried to steal a peek back at the aliens, but he was poked in the back by one of the alien’s strange weapon.
The foursome was now nearing the military base plane hangar. In the boys’ minds they heard, “Stop right here,” and they did. Grunting and groaning sounds were heard and the boys believed this to be a language between the tall grays. Finally after about five minutes, they were directed into the door entrance to the side of the huge hangar doors, which were closed.
Once inside, the boys were amazed to see a very large, circular spaceship. They were told not to look at it but to continue to the far end of the building to another door in the far end wall. This door was painted green and had a metal plate on it indicating that a General Smith of the USA SPACE DIVISION, NASA, was perhaps inside.
Jeffy could not figure this out because he believed that NASA always said there were no such things as aliens and UFOs. Perhaps this is a Hollywood movie project and he and Jody stumbled onto a space set for a movie. If so, WOW, this is exciting!
Inside, there was a man sitting behind a desk with another man at a desk against the other wall, as if he were a secretary. The room was painted brown and green, with the walls being green and the trim around the one window and the two doors, brown. There were maps on the wall, not of Earth, but somewhere out into the universe. There was a water fountain, a large bookshelf filled with many manuals and books, two computers, and telephones. There were the two chairs the men were sitting o
