Captain's Log 25872

December 2006

Captains Log 25872: Several months later we returned to Earth to check on our survey subjects. I'm struck with the strange behavior of this primitive species. In this picture you can see that this group of siblings appears to be enjoying a yearly celebration that my science officer tells me is based on the ritual celebration of trees. Note the strange hats placed upon these children's heads by their parental units. Research data is limited on the purpose of these devices but my science officer postulates that these are some sort of mind control devices intended to keep the children in a festive spirit despite rigid parental control.

Captains log 24659: On an away mission to the planet called earth we happened upon some very strange inhabitants. (Refer to the picture inset to the left) This subject was participating in a strange ritual knows as Haloeeen [an indigenous word for a festival in which individuals dress up in strange costumes, presumably this is some sort of strange mating ritual according to my science officer]. I don't know if this fellow had much success.
