Of all the unlikely, far-fetched, fictional creatures I've pondered the existence of over the years (robots, super-heros, zombies, etc.) one group is the most likely to actually exist... Making them, of course, still, quite unlikely to exist. (I mean, beating out "zombie" on a list of "creatures that may be," is hardly resounding proof of existence, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.) Of course, I'm talking about aliens. They're the one and only group I could see with the ability to first, alert me to their presence, and, second, terrify me to the core of my being, in consecutive seconds.

It still seemed like a long shot. And then I read a recent news report that detailed a few dozen people's claims that they'd seen a UFO over Texas. Not that remarkable... that happens fairly often these days. Some speculated that it might be a military plane, but, no, the military denied having anything in the air that night. Then, a few days later, this clarification.

U.S. military officials said Wednesday that fighter jets were training in a rural area the night of Jan. 8 when dozens of people reported seeing a UFO.

Although officials at the Naval Air Station Reserve Base in Fort Worth initially said none of their planes were in the area of the UFO reports, they changed their story Wednesday, saying that 10 F-16 fighter jets built by Lockheed Martin Corp. were training near Stephenville, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) southwest of Fort Worth, about the time of the sightings.


I'm no conspiracy theorist (mainly because it looks like far too much work, plus, I have asthma, and those guys always seem to be brushing off dusty, long lost tomes in moldy basements and that's just asking for an attack) but this strikes me as, odd.

This isn't something as simple as thinking the car was in the garage only to find out your wife took it to the store. There's a protocol. A chain of command. A military spokesman can't just make shit up off the top of his head, he's gotta check it, right? Get the info from someone above him? How would a mistake like this happen, exactly? Either it was your plane, or it wasn't. Why come forward weeks later and say it's your plane? (Okay, maybe I am a conspiracy theorist, but I'm the guy standing next to the guy reading the dusty book. The guy who answers "No," to his question of "My God, don't you see what this means?"wink

But, some residents say the military's revelation actually bolsters their claims because several reported seeing at least two fighter jets chasing an object.

"This supports our story that there was UFO activity in that area," said Kenneth Cherry, the Texas director of the Mutual UFO Network, which took more than 50 reports from locals at a meeting last weekend. "I find it curious that it took them two weeks to 'fess up. I think they're feeling the heat from the publicity."

Several dozen people swear that what they saw was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than an airplane. They also said the object's lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane.


Hmmm, yeah but just who saw these low-flying objects? Moonshine-sipping ne'er do wells? Chaw-spittin' yokels? Some Canadian?

"I guarantee that what we saw was not a civilian aircraft," Steve Allen, a pilot and freight company owner, said Wednesday.

Allen said that the fighter jets' training area in the Brownwood Military Operating Area, which includes Stephenville's Erath County, is not in the airspace where he saw the object. Also, Jan. 8 was not the only day sightings were reported.


G-g-g-g-gulp... A pilot? Well, he'd probably know what a plane looked like, right? I mean, if someone showed him a deck of picture flash cards and told him to ring a bell when he saw the aeroplane, I bet he could do it. I bet you he's even good at that "airplane into the hanger, mmm mmm good, eating game, too!

Half-assed jokes aside, he seems fairly competent.

Anne Frazor, who owns a fabric store in Stephenville said many in town have seen military aircraft zoom overhead from time to time as part of training operations. But she said that is different than what she saw Jan. 8.


Fabric store owner. Not some creepy Lladró ceramic figurine store or one of those two month out of the year Halloween Only stores, this is a legit business. I own things made from fabric and I bet you do too.

What's that? You're waiting for a grainy, hard-to-make-out photo before you make up your mind?



Life on Mars? Well, bizarre images have emerged showing a mystery female figure walking down a hill on the arid planet.

The photo of what looks like a naked woman with her arm outstretched was among several taken on the red planet and sent back to Earth by NASA's Mars explorer Spirit, the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed website.


Other sources have come forward to claim the "woman" is merely a wind-blown rock formation. The fabric store owner had no comment, that I could find...

So, now, where are we? What to do? Rollover and die before our invading soon-to-be-masters? Sure, that's my plan, but perhaps some of you are made of sterner stuff than yer good old, friendly neighborhood CoolerKing. In that case, I present:

Ways to Fight Off the Inevitable Alien Invasion aka What We Know

- They're top heavy, with giant alien brains. Intimidating? Yes. But think of the upside, an incredibly high center of gravity. My research indicates, though their intelligence is off the charts, their big brains make them highly susceptible to being "tipped over." Go for it. Lunge in, tap them on the side of the ole noggin... and watch them topple. I mean, how many Olympic caliber wrestlers do you see sporting that body type? The answer is, very few.

- Some of our data portrays them as being vulnerable to the human cold...Sadly, since the advent of Airborne Cold Remedy, we can no longer see this as a sure thing. We can only assume they've heard of our miracle cure-all. Yes, that school teacher may've damned us all to hell.

- They're ridiculously pale. Like. pure, milky white. Use this to your advantage. If you can lure one of them into a fight in direct sunlight, chances are, if you can drag the battle out for several hours, eventually, our sun will roast them alive... Um, or, at the very least, deliver unto them an incredibly debilitating sunburn. Remember that week in Maui? And afterwards how ready were you to conquer the galaxy? Exactly.

- They're crazy intelligent. I mean, how else did they attain space travel? Hmm but didn't we also, make it into the cosmos? And don't some of those very same "Earthlings" believe in a magic man in the sky who lives on a cloud and judges right and wrong? Yeah, point is, they may be just as dumb as us (me). They may've memorized two or three propaganda-ish talking points. just to sound superior, which, under scrutiny, will fall apart. My advice, keep 'em talking. Their logic will fall to pieces and they'll panic.... Leading to...

- Them activating giant mechanized killing machines... tragically propped up on only three legs. Hey remember all those three wheeled cars we have? All those triangular buildings? How about ATC's? Those three-wheeled vehicles so unsafe, so dangerous, that they killed enough people in rollovers to get them banned, and replaced, by four-wheeled variations? Yeah. Similar to the aforementioned bighead-tipping-strategy, get in, push, yell timber... and enjoy the show.

That's all we have, thus far. Good luck, and Godspeed. See you at the finish line, fellow Earthlings...

TheCoolerKing is honestly looking forward to punching an alien in its fat bloated alien head.

It was an Iranian gunship, and the US is just REALLLY not wanting to admit it. So they're using the aliens story.

The theorists who claim the Mars photo shows an alien woman haven't heard, or conveniently forget, that the rocks in the photo are only a few inches tall. That would be an extremely tiny woman.

Second, why would an alien female look like a human female? Independent evolution? I find it unlikely.

Best explanation? Pareidolia. The human brain perceiving random stimuli as a significant pattern.

Ehh... well TCK I hat to tell you this... but there was a story in which it was theorized that the big foot/yeti creatures did indeed come from space.

The bad news is it was written by H.P. Lovecraft.

You know, if that's the case, aliens could be very beneficial to us. Especially if they shed their Versace.

I mean, beating out "zombie" on a list of "creatures that may be," is hardly resounding proof of existence...


There's fairly persuasive evidence that zombies do exist.

But then, there's a pretty good arguement that there are likely aliens as well. It goes something like this: Even if the conditions for life starting from nothing, as it seems to have done on our planet, are insanely rare, space is really, really fucking big. Like, even if life only forms on one in a billion, billion planets, that's still more planets than you could count in your lifetime. And it may be that we haven't gotten to meet these guys yet because we never will, because if there are no working loopholes in Einstein's laws, then there's no hyperdrive and the aliens aren't ever going to have one either.

i actually have a binding verbal contract that prevents that.

on a completely separate topic, does anybody know how to steal one's soul back without having to track down a person and asking for it back?
