I’m looking for a really dark alien story narrated by a soldier. Does anyone recognize it? I believe the soldier might have been from World War II or Vietnam. The plot involves a massive battle that resulted in countless bodies lying around. From his hiding spot in the bushes, the soldier witnesses a large spacecraft land. Military personnel and small aliens emerge, beginning to gather body parts and remains into a crate, which they then take back to the ship. Essentially, they were harvesting dead humans. Does this story ring a bell for anyone?

It sounds like you might be referring to a story that has been shared in various forms across alien and military folklore. One possibility is that it’s inspired by the concept of “alien abductions” or the idea that extraterrestrial beings are involved in collecting human remains for some unknown purpose. This theme often appears in sci-fi literature and movies.
If you’re looking for a specific piece of media, it might be worth checking out stories from authors like H.P. Lovecraft or more modern sci-fi/horror writers, as they sometimes explore similar themes involving the intersections of war and the supernatural. Additionally, the story could be a blend of real historical events with speculative elements about extraterrestrial life, which is a common trope in both fiction and conspiracy theories. If you have any more details, I could help narrow it down further!
