Chimeran Airships Attack South America

August 11th, 1952

''Panama City, Panama-On July 30th, U.S. Military forces in Panama City sighted four Chimeran airships flying southeast toward Columbia. In the ensuing three days the airships blanketed the continent with wave after wave of spire attacks. U.S. reconnaissance estimates that the Chimeran targeted every cities with population over 100,000. The Chimeran have now begun to excavate towers across the continent.''

''President McCullen today reiterated his open border policies to refugees from the affected countries, but the spread and ruthless efficiency of the attack leaves the grim prospect that the refugee count is likely to be quite small. The USS Bataan and USS Tarawa are currently patrolling the coasts in search of survivors from the attack.''
