He also claims to have pictures from his abduction however, they turn out to be nothing more than paintings. A man named Lester, who claims to have been abducted, believes Scooby and Shaggy. The chef, Sergio, says that a month earlier, local cattle vanished without a trace, after which many people left town. The waitress, Dottie, says that multiple people claimed to have seen aliens, but that she has never seen them, though she has noticed strange lights and sounds at night. Scooby and Shaggy tell the people inside the diner about their encounter, but the gang is skeptical. They flee the cave and run into the diner in a panic. They chase the jackalope into a cave at a canyon named Scorpion Ridge, where they encounter frog-like aliens. Shaggy and Scooby then see a mythical animal called a jackalope, which takes their last Scooby Snack. While Scooby and Shaggy stay with the van, Fred, Daphne, and Velma go to a local diner to ask for directions.
Soon after, a UFO causes Shaggy to crash the Mystery Machine and blow it’s radiator, and the gang finds themselves on the outskirts of a small town. The gang is driving through a desert in Roswell, New Mexico when a sandstorm forces Shaggy to make a wrong turn onto government property.
