Mass Hysteria Follows Eclipse, UFOs!
USA (Monday): Coast-to-coast appearances of UFOs that were obviously under intelligent control and not made by man spectacularly failed to appear in conjunction with Monday’s eclipse, sparking widesperead, hysterical panic in those who thought “this time for sure.”
Myron Maroon of Skinny Nag, OK, traveled more than seven hundred miles to be in the path of the eclipse. In his self-published book Proctologists from Beyond, he declares that the case for nonhuman, non-hoaxed, non-misunidentified UFOs is airtight. “The operators of these crafts,” he wrote, “are super intelligent! What else could account for their being able to shove things up people’s keisters while simultaneously slaughtering cattle and making hairy bipeds do Riverdance numbers in America’s forests? No other known creature could possibly kill a cow!”
Maroon had predicted “Millions and thousands of UFO sightings, with clear photographs, unambiguous evidence, and maybe some 8x10s signed by the Antimen of Dimension X.” The fact that none of that developed, he said, “Nails down my theory. These beings are so intelligent they didn’t even show up!”
Meanwhile the moon went on its way, getting first in front of, and then out of the way of, the sun. That’s what causes eclipses.
“If,” Maroon says darkly, “you believe the so-called scientists!”
Good enough for most of us, Mr. M. Good enough for most of us.
