A small space craft crash landed in Ellswood Park

Residents saw a bright green flash, followed by a loud bang from the direction of the park. Several people went outside to investigate.

A few people reported seeing a woman in her 30s walking her dog out of the park gates moments after the crash.

The woman has been identified by several neighbours as Ilene Shepherd. She was brought into the station for questioning at 0800 this morning, and claims to have no knowledge of the crash.

“I went out to walk my dog at about half ten last night, I couldn’t sleep and he was a bit restless. We went round the park a few times and then came home.”

When questioned about the space craft she said she hadn’t seen or heard anything strange, and seemed to find the questions amusing. When questioned again she was surprised at the mention of a space craft - as though she had forgotten our earlier conversations.

We have been observing Ms Shepherd for an hour, she seems to be suffering from some sort of memory loss. She repeatedly asks what the weather is like, and repeats the phrase “Ooh Holly loves the sunshine!”

We asked her more questions about the crash, and she seemed surprised once more at the mention of a space craft. There is nothing to suggest she is faking the memory loss, we have called for a medical expert.

Doctor O’Hara examined Ms Shepherd and has asked for her to be removed to the hospital. He believes she may be suffering from trauma related amnesia. We started to fill out the paperwork but Ms Shepherd’s dog - who Inspector Newton was keeping in his office - bolted when he opened the door, ran around the precinct, and escaped into the street. We sent some of the younger lads after it, but it set the precinct in chaos for a bit.

Although we believed she was not dangerous, Ms Shepherd was inconsolable when she discovered what happened and attacked Dr Ohara, breaking his nose and rendering him rather dazed. Her transfer has been delayed until an ambulance arrives with a new escort.

Ms Shepherd has been transferred. We still haven’t found the dog. In fact, we’ve had at least four reports of missing and escaped dogs in the past few hours.
