State Secrets: North Carolina – The Strange Family

.

Okay, first of all, they are not named strange. In fact, nobody has ever gotten a name from them at all, except first names. They seem to be a family of two parents, three kids and a grandmother. They are, by all accounts, nice polite folks.

But they aren’t from North Carolina or anywhere else we know about on Earth. They could be aliens from space or a race from some hidden place here on our planet, nobody knows.

This family has been encountered in small towns all over the state since 2005. They always seem to be traveling in a minivan that is 2 or 3 years old. Like tourists, they’ll stop and take pictures, but things and eat fast food. When spoken to, they are pleasant and polite and often say they are from California.

The strange part is their looks. They are all tall, with the dad beind maybe 6′ 6” and the mom about 6′ 1”. The kids, who look like pre-teens, both stand well over 5′ 6”. Even old granny is a good 5′ 10”.

They are all slender and have slightly longer fingers than normal. Their eyes are just a touch to big and their ears are ever so slightly pointed.

All of them are platinum blondes.

The SXU has a few photos of them and about 2 minutes of video. They would very much like to meet and speak with this strange family.

State Secrets: North Dakota – Miles To Go?

.

This one is another helpful bit of strangeness for drivers. Well, it’s helpful most of the time.

See, if you are a driver out there on some lonely road in North Dakota, needing to get somewhere in a hurry with a long way to go in the state, you may find yourself passing a flashy bright orange car going the opposite direction. The make and model of car is always different, but is never newer than 1970.

Now, if your reason for getting somewhere is for good (baby being born, relative dying, child’s birthday, etc), you will find that after the car has passed, you will be moved to within a few miles of your destination. If said destination is outside the state, you will be at the state line.

But if your intentions for getting somewhere are bad (murder & most other crimes, escaping the police, etc), you’ll find yourself right back where you started, almost certainly in the middle of a bunch of cops.

Another aspect of this strangeness is that while good people will be weirded out by this for a couple of minutes, bad people completely lose their minds for a couple of hours, very often screaming out confessions to crimes they’ve done or are planning on doing.

The SXU has no idea how to find the orange car, but then, they are a bit afraid to try.
