the sheep look up

Apparently there’s been loads of UFO sightings this summer.

Malcolm Robinson, who studies the phenomenon, said: "Something very bizarre is happening in the skies over the UK."

The founder member of Strange Phenomena Investigations, added: "There has been an unusual number of sightings recently.

"Some experts believe it could be linked to global warming and craft from outer space are appearing because they are concerned about what man is doing to this planet."

Interesting use of the word expert there. What I like is the counter-mythology aspect. Aliens used to be War of the Worlds style “intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic, bent on global destruction and/or enslavement: a living death in the Tharg Mines of Epsilon Nerd. Now they’re coming because they care, and possibly because they’ve been talking to the dolphins. At least that’s what the experts say.

Meanwhile, the Telegraph plots alien visitations on a Llanelli-Derby axis. The sheep look up!
