Tuesday night meeting’s empty hall and floating casserole dishes suggest group’s worst fears about coordinated extraterrestrial activity have been realized
Sixteen covered casserole dishes were observed hovering four feet above the Charleville Community Center’s main hall at 7:30 PM Tuesday.
The support group, which has met every Tuesday for the past fourteen years to discuss members’ extraterrestrial experiences, had planned their annual themed potluck featuring dishes that members claimed to have learned from their abductors. Instead, janitor Marcus Webb discovered sixteen covered casserole dishes hovering approximately four feet above the usual meeting circle at 7:30 PM.
The green bean casserole was just floating there, perfectly level. That’s when I knew this wasn’t a regular no-show situation.
— Marcus Webb, Community Center Janitor
Arthur Pritchard of the Department of Cryptid Affairs confirmed that the DCA had received multiple reports of ‘coordinated atmospheric disturbances’ in the Charleville area beginning at approximately 6:45 PM, roughly fifteen minutes before the support group’s scheduled meeting time.
Pattern Recognition
Support group facilitator Margaret Hendricks had expressed concerns about what she termed ‘escalating visitation patterns’ during last week’s meeting, according to detailed minutes kept by deputy facilitator Frank Morrison. Morrison’s notes, discovered still floating in a manila folder above his usual chair, indicate the group had been tracking increased UFO activity coinciding with their meeting schedule.
SUPPORT GROUP STATISTICS
• Active members: 16 (all currently missing)
• Meetings held without incident: 728
• Previous mass abduction events: 0
• Floating food items recovered: 16
• Ambient humming duration: Ongoing
Dr. Amelia Cross, the network’s cryptid biologist, noted that the precise hovering pattern of the potluck dishes suggests ‘highly sophisticated gravitational manipulation consistent with advanced extraterrestrial food preservation techniques.’ She added that the dishes appeared to be maintaining optimal serving temperature despite lacking any visible heat source.
We’ve been preparing for individual incidents for years. Nobody thought they’d just take everyone at once. It’s almost insulting.

FIELD ALERT
The DCA advises residents to avoid the Community Center until atmospheric humming subsides. Those with scheduled facility rentals should contact the main office for rescheduling assistance.
The humming has not stopped. The reservation remains active.
