Gradually the flames subsided and the exhausted creatures settled in amongts the walls of beans for the remainder of the night. Only the insects and a few animals knew they were there as they drifted off into a nervous sleep.

Came the dawn, and with it warm sunshine. A helicopter hovered overhead, it's pilot appearing to be searching for something. The aliens hiding amongst the beans kept absolutely still, not wanting to give themselves away. As the helicopter circled the area, two army trucks and a range rover car drove up the wide path way that divided the beans. They stopped and men got out and wandered amongst the beans. As they did so, they picked up little bits of debris from the spaceship, numbering each one as they went along. After an hour or two, they had collected up all the pieces and gathered by the vehicles to discuss what the had so far.
