UFO may have crashed in Somalia

This is either the best hoax I’ve heard in a while or something really very interesting:

That last is what makes me doubt this story the most: Why would anything that looks like a satellite talk? I’m guessing this is a hoax, but it’s an amusing one at this hour.

Finding any more information on this using Google is futile. A few blogs have picked it up and they all link back to the site I linked to. I hope more comes of this, even if it is all just a put-on.

I hope is was not the moon.

Of course it fell on a camel.

US spy drone?

I think it was Joan Rivers who had a joke saying (paraphrased), “Why is it that none of the UFO sightings are over someplace like Harvard? There’s always out in the boonies and witnessed by a drunken farmer…”

Sounds like Somalia was hit by a karaoke machine.

So people can look at it, report on it, but not take a photo? :dubious:

That’ll teach them to try to scam bank account details from space aliens…

From the story dated 3/26/07:

Details are emerging in the coming days.

Or perhaps they will not.

This “strange language” could be ANYTHING people. What do people in Somalia speak anyway? Somali and maybe a little English?

On a lighter note, of course we all know it’s probably a weather balloon that crashed b/c of the swamp gas reflecting in Venus :smiley:

Could this be a marketing tool for The Gods Must Be Crazy, Part 2?

If it is, they’re almost twenty years too late.

They never said which coming days, did they?

Camels in a jungle?? Jungle in Somalia?? My BS meter is pinging …

Sure, the Somalian Jungle Camel; it has no humps, a prehensile tale and absolutely sucks at Catch.

Agreed.

Camels in Somalia? Could be. Jungle in Somalia? I don’t think so. Perhaps the flying karaoke machine landed in a mangrove forest along the coast. (Scroll down on the Wiki page)

Until we see a grainy out-of-focus photo of the damned thing, I will remain unconvinced. :dubious:

No, that’s the other side of the continent. But they can start …

Greetings to you.

You do not know this person, but I found a crashed camel from space, as you may hyave read in the international news. The driver of the camel from space, who comes from a world many thousands of light parsecs away, left me …

Wait a minute…there’s something wrong with this R2-Zulu unit…

“…Help us Obi-wan-Bin-Laden! You’re our only hope…!”

Booooooo! tosses rotten tomatoes You totally bluchered that joke.

I emailed the author of the article.
