Alien visit


A UFO was spotted in Ottawa Monday night. Apparently our extraterrestrial counterparts were checking out the Ottawa River. Since there are reports of unidentified lights zipping along the waterway, a booming sound, and now the Department of National Defence is checking out the scene, I think Ottawa's ripe for some conspiracy theories.

A quick search suggests this area is a "UFO hotspot." Here's a gem: Quebec abduction case. Well, it's the nation's capital and the area gets lots of tourists every year, so no one should be surprised the city's charms have reached the ears (or whatever they might have) of those farther afield.

I'm just waiting for the saucer of green men (and women, or whatever they might be) to descend on Parliament Hill.

UPDATE (Wed. July 29): The search is called off. The parties involved were: Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Fire Department, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Gatineau Police, and CFB Trenton Search and Rescue. That's a lot of folks for a light plummeting into the water. An unidentified object has been spotted in the water, but the camera can't get a good look at it, so it will remain a mystery for now. At this point we should cue either the Twilight Zone or X-files music. I vote for X-files.
