Cumbria falls off the intergalactic UFO map

Any similarties to amateur astronomy, here ?


" you notice men in black suits hiding in the begonias.

It's time to ring British UFO Hunters (Cumbria Branch). But hurry,
because if they don't get a call soon they're going to pack it in. ET,
it appears, has had enough of Cumbria. If there is a rosette system in
the Alpha Centauri tourist board Guide to Earth, Cumbria obviously
isn't getting any.

Chris Parr, the Whitehaven-based co-ordinator for Bufoh, warned
yesterday that he and his helpers will have to call it a day if the
decline in sightings experienced over the past few years continues for
much longer.

"In Cumbria we have gone from 60 UFO sightings in 2003 to 40 in 2004
and none at all this year," he lamented.

"It means that the number of people keeping their eyes on the skies is
greatly diminished. There are only a handful of us now.

"We are a dying breed in this part of the country. I put it down to the
end of the X-Files, a lack of military exercises in the area that would
produce UFO sightings and a lack of strange phenomena." Mr Parr has
tried to keep the extraterrestrial flame alive. He has three camcorders
and whips them out whenever he hears of sightings elsewhere in the
country in the hope that the flying saucer in question takes a wrong
turn up the M6. But it never does. ..."

P.S. Wouldn't Bush do a great job of greeting ET's ? ... just a
thought

he lives too close to Windscale, it's the radiation that causes it.
