The Avon Police Department is seeking the help of a local
chemist to aid in an investigation. The case revolves around an
undisclosed location, which is thought to be a UFO crash site. Avon
police had previously sought the help of a local chemist, Dr.
Heisenberg, who was asked to determine the contents of some small
vials of material found on board the ship. The vials are labeled
with alien symbols. The scientist soon realized that the vials
contained elements. He drew a diagram and did some testing in the
lab. On the website, is a summary of his results. Around the time
that he finished this list of properties of the samples, another
piece of information was located on board the crashed ship. It was,
what appeared to be, coordinates to a location on a planet. The
scientist was working in the lab one evening, when he realized that
some numbers could be assigned to the spaces on the diagram, giving
him a clue to decipher the coordinates, which he believed to
indicate a location on Earth. That night, Dr. Heisenberg headed
home to discuss this with his wife, but on the way, something
happened. His car was later found near a corn field, which had a
circular pattern where the corn had been knocked down. His current
location is uncertain. Police suspect foul play. Police are now
asking that a brave and intelligent chemist step forward to finish
the work of the missing scientist. APD detectives have since
discovered that other similar crash sites have yielded coordinates,
which point to large metal containers hidden somewhere on Earth.
The person who chooses to help solve this chemystery may find
treasure hidden by the aliens, or may discover that knowledge is
its own reward.
Use the clues to fill in the table, and then use the numbers to
decipher the code. (Table and coordinates are located on my
website. Click on link above (below cache title) to download the
