CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – An Ocala man on a mission “to tell the government” that U.S. aliens were fighting Chinese dragons was arrested Friday after he attempted to enter Patrick Space Force Base in a stolen pickup truck, according to Brevard sheriff’s officials.

According to a Brevard County Sheriff’s Office probable cause affidavit, the 29-year-old man stole a Ford F-150 last Tuesday because “the president of the United States told him in his head he needed to take the vehicle.”
