About Sandbox

  • This is a place for a few people who work at a newspaper in Kitchener-Waterloo to share stories and pictures that wouldn't necessarily fit in newsprint.

    Think of Sandbox as an online magazine that collects extraneous journalism. If therecord.com was a DVD, we'd be the special features.

    Current contributors: David Bebee, Colin Hunter, Ben Gelinas, Chris Wilson-Smith, Karlo Berkovich, Ryan Chen-Wing, Dan Belgue and Amy Fuller.

Alien visitation re-visited

By Colin Hunter

The story somehow failed to trigger worldwide panic or draw any scientific attention, presumably because a shadowy government agency covered it up.
So I vowed to doggedly pursue the Truth and blow the lid off this conspiracy.
