Sort of related: Early one dark winter morning headed east on the 10 freeway paralleling LAX I saw a shiny flying object high up and to the extreme east of my position. Hoping for a flying saucer (my first) I realized it was a jet reflecting the sun coming up behind it. But then a miracle happened (well, OK, if you study physics it seemed miraculous) it instantaneously disappeared! It had flown westward into the earth’s shadow! Simple explanation, but impressive to see happen!

I’m surprise that no one noticed that the poem suggested that I got lesions.

Look at it a different way, if you think of the middle of the ‘object’ as see through and not as a reflective solid, it actually just looks like a poop smear on the lense :S

I love the Doctor who reference this early in the morning. =D
Also, I love how tabloids blow everything out of proportion or just plain make up nonsense. If I took a picture of a UFO, and really believed it was an unusual phenomena, the last person I would want to give the photo to would be a tabloid.

I once read from a tabloid cats lived on Neptune. Neptunian cats.
Well…as far as I know Neptune is gaseous and doesn’t have a rocky surface for cats to walk on. xD So they’d be floating around?

Sir Eccles said:
“People are missing the bigger picture here, THERE WAS A TOURIST IN CROYDON!!!!!!”

Good point, sir! I suspect the tourist simply got lost on their way somewhere else. You know, Staines or somewhere.

BTW, Eccles, why are you here?

It must have arrived through eddies in the space-time continuum. Either that or it’s something to do with the thriving second-hand biro business of Zaphod Beeblebrox from Betelgeuse V.

Maybe it’s not a mushroom, maybe the photographer ate a mushroom.

It’s a bit like the Floridians who in time will display their ‘I Believe’ car license plates. PZ Myers said:
“Look at it this way: the stupid people in Florida are going to be conveniently self-labeling themselves with the Mark of the Buffoon”.

So it is with ‘The Sun’. You see someone carry it, you know where they’re coming from. It’s a dead give away. That and the grazed knuckles. They demand woo fodder and the Sun gives it to them, cover to cover. ‘Nuff said.

It’s a UFO thats for sure.

The most probable explanations are.

1. A plastic bag blowing in the wind.
2. A bird very close to the camera.
3. A bug very close to camera.

Maybe it is time that this stunt from Theo Jansen (you should really see his current works, its absolutely amazing), its almost 30 years (1979) but i still remember the reactions, the public being questioned for television about this ufo.

Blast that stupid wind; now I need to find something else to cover my head! If that idiot hadn’t been standing there with a camera, I would have chased after it of course.

Do you have any idea how unacceptable it is in my completely hair-covered species to be bald? For years I made do with spanish moss but the little sasquats kept making fun of me, and nobody wanted me along when we went to torment the scout camp-outs.

Anyone on this board know where I can get another oversized novelty hat in the dark of night without leaving any positive evidence?

While walking in the park one day,
(which park it was, I will not say)
I launched a mushroom in the air.
It landed in my mouth. I swear!

My band of friends, with cams in hand,
Took snapshots of the fungus and
Uploaded them with panicked haste
Whilst I was left to purge the taste.

My brain took flight! It was quite fun.
(Meanwhile the pics went to The Sun).
I sored! I flew up with the birds!
(I’d tell you more but “no swear words”)

In short, I’m having quite a trip.
The pics were sent, the woo-woo’s trip.
Most people see what they will see.
That’s all for now. I have to (EDITTED)
