UFO Insanity: Skydivers Mistaken For Invaders From Outer Space!
By Robert Paul Reyes
"In a rainbow of different colored suits, 68 daredevils plunged from 13,000 feet above Lake Elsinore, Calif., on Nov. 13. After weeks of training, they perfected a jaw-dropping diamond formation that many called beautiful - and others found downright terrifying." Buck Wolf/AOL News
The skydivers were mistaken for UFO's, people with no clue and no life flooded 911 with reports of an extraterrestrial invasion.
I can understand if the daredevils were mistaken for the famous Flying Elvi, but UFO's? Everything in the sky that can't be readily identified as a bird or a plane is described as a UFO.
If the Flying Elvi falls down from the sky in my town, I wouldn't be surprised if people called the police. There is nothing more horrifying than having middle-aged men decked out like the Las Vegas-era Elvis Presley falling down from the heavens.
But for God's sake, if you see anything else in the sky that you can't immediately identify, don't tie up the freakin' emergency numbers.
Elvis isn't alive, and there are no UFO's piloted by little green men from Mars.
