On July 2nd avid watchers of the skies celebrate World UFO Day the
anniversary of the supposed crash of a flying saucer near Roswell in
1947. Helpfully, the National UFO Reporting Centre, a non-profit, has
catalogued almost 90,000 reported sightings of UFOs, mostly in America,
since 1974.
It turns out that aliens are considerate. They seldom disturb earthlings
during working hours. Rather, they tend to arrive in the evening,
especially on Fridays, when folks are sitting on the front porch nursing
their fourth beer, the better to appreciate flashing lights in the heavens.
The state aliens like best is Washington – especially the thinly populated
northern part. Other popular destinations are also near the Canadian
border, where the Northern lights are sometimes visible. UFOs tend to
shun big cities, where there are lots of other lights. They also avoid
daylight hours, when people might think they were just aeroplanes.
