We're not in a hole. A lot of companies would like to be in our hole - Scott 'touch'n'feely' McNealy
THE MoD has confirmed that the number of UFO sightings over Blighty has doubled in the last year.
While many trade unions fear that there might be another wave of aliens trying to get into the country after British jobs, the MoD has even had reports of UFOs flying over the houses of Parliament.
More than 285 UFOs were reported in 2008, compared to just 135 in 2007. The one over the houses of Parliament had green, red and white lights. It was still and static in the sky. It was seen for about half an hour.'
Noone seems to have feared that politicians might have been body snatched by farting aliens, but when a spaceship that looks like the Titanic crashes into the Thames we will all know that Dr Who was prophecy.
Most of the reports are obviously the sign of a creative imagination. We particularly liked the report of a fast moving green object on the M6 motorway. Nothing moves fast on the M6 not even aliens.
It seems to suggest that UFO sitings are related to economic worries. Just like in medieval times, people saw the Madonna, demons and angels during the Black Death outbreaks, and Angels at Mons in WW1, the great unwashed now chooses to see UFOs instead.
Either that or people are watching too much Dr Who and Torchwood.µ
" It seems to suggest that UFO sitings are related to economic worries."
That could be because there are a lot more blokes out lookin' around rather then bein' stuck inside chained to a desk 8-10 hours a day.
"The one over the houses of Parliament had green, red and white lights."
So, it was an Italian UFO then? Maybe the aliens are actually flying spaghetti monsters?
They're probably surveillance drones.
Could be that the folks are primed by all the talk about young Gary McKinnon?
those aliens must be very courageous scouting out still this planet of crazy apes.
In this article I detect research! And as Red Fred suggested, I would read it as people acting like crazy apes. There is also evidence that demons emanate putrid odours in their vicinity. So it would be logical they T.V. their audience and mislead mankind with whatever power they conjure. So much so they don't wash not to miss a moment of it. Purpose? Keeping humans busy like a moth to a bug zapper! Signs in the skies to deter people from noticing signs of the times. Yes the economy and much much more.
Like my Brother told me: Praying to the Saints of the useless miracles!

Seriously, why are all the sightings in Britain? They certainly can't be going there for the weather or the good food or anything.
Seriously, in the 60s and 70s it was hip to see a UFO. The only problem is that cameras were not common at all, to say nothing of film cameras.
With the advent of the picture-taking mobile phone, UFO sightings have curiously disappeared from our tabloid front pages. One would think that, if UFO sightings were indeed so common, we'd have millions of pics by now, and thousands of clips on YouTube.
Okay, there are thousands of clips on YouTube. Most of them are people talking about UFOs, some are "reconstructions" of a past experience, some of them are actual clips of UFOs. Well, maybe. They're actually grainy, out-of-focus clips with a smudge somewhere that may or may not be a UFO.
My conclusion ? When there's not a camera in sight, UFOs have a marked tendency of staying nice and still, basking in people's view for minutes at a time.
But as soon as there's something that can actually record images, them UFOs become blurry, high-speed projectiles of indiscriminate form that only appear on film for a portion of a second.
Yeah, sure. That really seems credible. With all those ten-megapixel cameras lurking about these days, why can't there be a proper, focused and clear image of a UFO ?
whats wrong with our food? you obviously never tried beans and sausages.
