UFO in Stephenville, Texas

From ABC News (no, not the Weekly World News):

More Than 30 People Insist They Saw a UFO Flying Over Their Town

You have friends who've seen a UFO, don't you? I certainly do. Thus far, only Japan has an official policy for aliens. I get the U.S. would have to get immigration involved. Yipe.

Which means the poor little green men would have to wait in line for an hour to have their photos and fingerprints taken, before they can be taken to your leader. I find myself feeling sorry for the Martians.

No one I know personally admits to seeing one, but this is a lesser-known bit of rural Canadian wackiness regarding UFOs. http://www.stpaulchamber.ca/ufolanding.html

My family insists that back in the day locals tried to get the territory directly beneath the pad declared international/neutral (like Antarctica or something) so that any aliens who did choose to land wouldn't be illegally entering Canada. The feds nixed the idea. (I have no idea whether this rumour is true ...)

Oooh ... heh heh ... sorry, just had to add a link to archival CBC footage from when it was built. ;-)

Hee. Awesome. When the constable says he saw it, you know there really was something in the sky. I particularly love the bit about the military going, "Huh? Nope, we weren't testing anything, nothing at all!"

So that means there will be an alien wing at Gitmo, right?
