The Invasion That Never Happened

This is a story of an alien invasion of California, USA in 1970. Twenty Thousand funny looking, purple aliens invading Earth for a single reason - to acquire a large amount of "Double AA" batteries.



Why do they need so many batteries? Well, they are desperate to revive a Tape Player obtained by them during the height of our space program.



What make this Tape Player so important to them is its content - a cassette with the music of 1967 Earth's rising star - Jimi Hendrix, which they became addicted to. When this device batteries died, the aliens left with no choice but to invade our planet in a search for a new stock.



While on Earth, they would encounter California's varied population of the early 70's: Hippies; Black Panthers; the rest of us; and Jimi Hendrix himself.



This exposure to our "Culture" will force them to make a crucial decision about their future.



If you wonder why this 1970 invasion of California, USA never happened?



The answer is quite simple - We ignored them...
