aliens?

One sister begins talking about seeing aliens years ago
Looking out the window at night in the lot next to her childhood home
Dressed in silver spacesuits with breathing masks
Digging around taking samples of dirt. So spooky.

Remembered vividly nearly forty years later.
Another sister remembers seeing them, too.
More than once. And their mother verifies the story.
Short stature creatures with metal detectors searching around.

Do you believe this? For sure they saw something.
This was in Barbados near Bridgetown.
Do you have an explanation? Well, yes!
And that is more amazing to me than their story.

You know your history well.
In 1976 a Cuban plane was blown up
Taking off from Barbados to Trinidad and Cuba
And the flight path was right over this house.

Time delay bombs on board detonated
Killing 78 people on Cubana Flight 755.
Documents released in 2005 show the CIA hands on it.
Terrorists who denied they did it.

The short men were most likely Cuban investigators
Wearing hazmat suits looking for evidence.
You realize this upon hearing the story
Remembering your own tour of the Cuban memorial.

You were a leader in the Cuban Aid Caravan
Twenty years ago visiting Cuba.
Your memory imprinted sharply like the sisters
Making rational sense, putting the pieces together.
