Damn, I missed that program t'other night about The Truth About Britains UFOs.
Only just remembered about it, coz on the news they were talking about some dozy mare who called out the police because there was a strange light in the sky. Along come The Pigs who surely must have set about her person with their truncheons, as the Strange Light In The Sky turned out to be the moon.
Clearly, the woman just wanted to get some hunky uniformed officers round her gaff!
Honestly, how can you mistake our neighboring satellite for a great big feck off spaceship bent on wordly conquest - it's not like the moon is an unfamiliar sight in the sky.
I reckon it's just another cover up, pretending that there was no betentacled beasties invading, and calling it a lunar mistaken identity! Did anyone fall for that advert - "Most people would think this is a spaceship.. .in fact, it's a lamp post". Ooooh, I'm so convinced now that our atmosfear is polluted by flying lampposts, and not insterstellar space monsters.
Ok, perhaps at a push I can see people could mistake a Great Glass Elevator pursued by Vermicious Knids could be mistaken for a fleet of flying saucers, but lamp posts darting about the sky? That's pushing credulity a tad far.
Then again, these spaceships could have Chameleon Chips, and take the form of lamp postage upon arrival to blend in. Lamp post in Narnia - SPACESHIP! Heck, if The Master's TURDIS can be a fireplace or a statue, it can easily masquerade as a source of street illumation.
Anyone seen the 1953 version of War of the Worlds? What's on top of the Manta Ray body of the War Machines - only a freaking lampost that spits out a heat ray!
Maybe that program was right: "Most people would think this is a spaceship.. .in fact, it's a lamp post hiding the presence of ghastly galaxian gremlins in plain sight." It's the 1950s all over again!
