UFO*BC - or: my whacky neighbor and his UFO club

UFO*BC - or: my whacky neighbor and his UFO club

Post by Troy Martin »

Just found out on the news that my across-the-street, tree killing neighbour is the king turd (oh, I mean president) of UFO*BC. So I decided to make some fake UFO photos in Paint.NET for laughs. One's been attached.

Exactly.

I'm not saying aliens aren't real, it's just it would be pretty worthless to spend the time flying to Earth from some other solar system to hover in the air for a few hours and leave without even saying hello in whatever language they speak.

yep, I completely believe in extra-terrestrial life, but I don't believe that they zip here in a tiny round ship which may fit a dozen lifeforms and I definitely don't believe that they just hang out up there sight-seeing.

Or watching us saying "lookit that human! his hair's flying off his head!" and pointing at a guy in a windstorm with an unsecured toupee.

The photo does look real, but it looks like there was dust on the lens, not like an UFO.

Now they didn't, that wasn't a real fossil. Anyway, it's hard to deny that there's all sorts of bacteria but if there's intelligent lifeforms except for humans, I can't say. Probably. It's a pretty big place out there and we probably won't live to see (it might be that we never find out anyway). Right now, there are hopes of finding bacteria on Europa.
