“Three lights and this other one…” Reminds me of Baldrick studying advanced mathematics in Black Adder.

Come on guys, this is a bit silly! The article says “three of them formed a triangular shape with one positioned just to the right.”, but it should read “another one”. Thinking that adding a fourth dot to a triangle always makes it a square is bad geometry. Did actually anybody bother to look at the picture in the article? It does show dots (maybe beer stains on the camera lense, but that’s not the point) including the shape described. It’s a triangle, and the fourth dot makes it a Y-shape lying on it side.

HaHa! Had a good laugh at this! We used to have a military airport nearby and those planes (Tornado type) had three strong lightspots which could be rotated to aim them in a different direction. The pilots used to fly low over the city at slow speed at night so you could hardly identify them as jet propulsion crafts… and they often tested their lightspots, rotating them over the city… we had some nuts here you claimed them being alien UFOs despite the apparent truth.

If the internal angles add to precisely 180 degrees- well that would be really spooky!

FYI the midweek paper is running a ‘teaser’ for Friday’s full edition that says:

“UFOs explained! They were wedding celebration balloons”.

Sounds specific enough that they know for sure. Weird that it took the Daily Mail so long to catch on - afaik it happened on the 14th. Give them another week and they’ll notice the town got flooded…

Well I’m proven wrong! I’ve always said that Daily Mail had only three stories: Princess Diana, house prices & immigrants. How wrong I am about this fine peice of journalism.

I followed the link & now I feel dirty because the Daily Mail will be on My History file.
