When Barney Broom began renovating his cottage he did not expect to be confronted by a pair of black eyes staring from a cloudy jar. But the mysterious discovery of an alien in his attic has spooked the 54-year-old screenwriter and bewildered extraterrestrial experts, who yesterday suggested the US military could be involved.
The delicate 30cm (12 inch) figure of a baby alien is stored in a pungent liquid and has a US serial number painted on its four-toed foot. Possibly sculpted from a clay-like substance and painted grey, the model closely resembles the aliens depicted in a hoax film of an autopsy of the infamous “Roswell incident”.
“It was stuffed in the corner of the loft with other old newspapers. Before me, an old spinster lived in the house. I don’t think anybody had been up there for years. I haven’t got three heads and I’m not the sort of eccentric lunatic to think it’s an alien but it’s a funny thing to find in your loft.”
Tee-Hee.
It could be hoax but don’t be suprized if we are living the script of Independence Day soon.
Could have been some kid’s science project in 1947 and saved in the attic till everyone forgot about it. I expect the rightwing Area 51-types will presume it’s an anti-military plot.
Of course it has a US serial number on it. Now if someone can define what a US serial number is, I might not laugh as hard….
Well, at least we know that any invasion could be thwarted by a few swift kicks.
“…suggested the US military could be involved.”
I wouldn’t put it past them! ; )

Sounds like they are keeping an eye out for someone.
