They hovered over that wild west Texas town in April of 1866.
They were looking for a genuine western gunslinger.
When Wild Bob Walker beat an hombre to the draw and shot him clean dead in the center of the town, the aliens beamed down a large circular light that covered Wild Bob and sucked him into their triangular shaped UFO.
They whisked him away to their planet, 1,000 light years from earth, and got there in seconds.
A great catch, they featured him in their Extraterrestrial Zoo as a main attraction.
Sold out tickets for a year, mainly because of how terrifying the strange specimen looked
and how fast that monstrosity could draw his primitive weapons out of their holsters and pull the triggers of those empty guns as the tiny and spidery, googly-eyed zoo visitors expanded and chortled with the greatest delight.
