#2 Kinda sub-par if they were only smouldering. I bet it wasn't even aliens.

Amatures.

#7 I once saw a UFO, just like the one in #6. It must have been some kind of optical effect, perhaps from clouds.

#8 #7 I once saw a UFO, just like the one in #6. It must have been some kind of optical effect, perhaps from clouds.

But do they still call, or write?

#9 I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

Look, they can't be any worse than Joe Biden, can they?

#10 How come they only grab some drooling hick driving his pick-em-up truck through the swamp?

Then there's that whole "anal probe" thing. What's that about?

#12 Yah, Phil_b, it was an optical effect. A temperature inversion combined with certain clouds can wreack havok with those cheap chinese knockoff cloaking devices.

#13 One of these days, I would like to see a UFO over Phoenix that isn't a USAF aircraft en route, to or from San Diego. They fly back and forth between there and Groom Lake ("Homey Airport", one of the silliest AFB names around.)

This is because the coast off of San Diego down towards Baja is about the only place in the US where you can go supersonic without ticking off the locals. They used to travel too close to the coast, until San Diego asked them to take it further out to sea.

The disinformation campaign after The Phoenix Lights was a hoot. We figure he blew his transmission and had to hover for an hour until the breeze blew him enough out of the city so he could land where the AF mechs were waiting.

"You idiot! You forgot to double-clutch! Sir!"

#14 Optical effect... yeah... and a few too many snifters [drinks] to boot.

#15 Snifters? You do drink fancy stuff, Crazy Fool. ;-)
