In the age of the internet and instant communications, aliens have become irrelevant
It has been a bad summer for aliens. The last UFO sighting in Britain (the only one this year) was in April, in Guernsey, and – alas – it was not a real UFO. But it’s not only here. The United States accounts for more than 99 per cent of all UFO sightings. Yet, while fence-building has failed to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, the department of homeland security has somehow managed to deter illegal aliens of the intergalactic kind.
Maybe the visitors have been put off by the increasing number and ferocity of hurricanes. Whatever the reason, UFO sightings in the US have almost disappeared.
