Abandoned Hangar Yields WWII Treasure
A strange case for the Ocampa County Sheriff's Department came up today as deputies were called by resident Royce DeWitt. DeWitt, whose company DeWitt Enterprises, purchased the 400 acre stretch of otherwise untamed wilderness, had been scouting the location for a possible factory when he and his foreman Frank Weller came across, tucked into the heavy overgrowth, an apparently abandoned aircraft hanger.
"It's on my land so Frank and I busted the lock on the door..." DeWitt told reporters, "We found a lot of old documents, some of which we couldn't even read because the weather had gotten to them, but Frank says the hangar has to date back to at least the second world war."
"Well..." Frank Weller stated "While Royce found a box of old documents, I couldn't see anything else until I tried an old light switch. When I flipped it, all the lights came on, and staring down at us...was this massive airplane. What gets me is that something that big, I think, I should have noticed before turning on the lights. But it was like the thing just came out of nowhere.
Bradley Hall, a historian from the Los Oscuro Museum of Science and History, came to the location and identified the aircraft as a B-24 D Liberator.
"I've spoken with the historians at the Corpus Christi Museum of Natural History and at the Lexington who have agreed to come out to take a look at the aircraft." Hall stated, "We are not permitting photographs of the aircraft at this time due to the sensitive nature of this find, however when we are ready to make a public statement we will address photographs at that time."
