One warm summer day in the 1950s, a boy in Graninge looked out toward the field between the lake and the village and saw a disc-shaped craft on the ground. From a distance he watched small figures with a strange appearance working to knock loose pieces from the hull. Later the boy made contact with the beings and was given a task: to bury parts from the craft in the earth.
