Right below their coverage of the Trump verdict they have a completely serious newspiece about cloaked aliens stopping to repair their ship in Las Vegas. This earth-shaking news will no doubt reshape the course of human history.

Why are we bothering the aliens? Maybe they are just in Vegas to see a show and do some gambling. It is Faux News though, so maybe they took “illegal aliens” a little too literally. 😄

Love the alliteration in the title.

So like… the crime scene expert helps put in jail with these techniques and analysis? That ain’t good.

Apparently I’ve reached my monthly limit of free FOX News articles.

I prefer to get my alien news from an organization with more journalistic integrity than FOX, such as [Weekly World News](https://weeklyworldnews.com/).

The levels of woo here are brainsplitting.  
When you walk into a yard and see nothing, that’s just proof of how advanced the aliens are!

Build a helmet from clothespins. The springs will provide partial shielding.  
Not as good as foil but it will do in a pinch.

If I line my attic with foil, does that mean I can get away without a foil hat in the house?

Well, _did_ they obtain a visa and pass through an immigration checkpoint? Next thing you know they’re going to try to vote!

This demands a deep dive investigation. Someone get Clark Kent on the phone!

I didn’t bother to read the “article,” but I wonder if Fox does this sort of thing so that the next time they are sued for billions of dollars, they can point to it and say “See - we are NOT a news outlet - we are ‘entertainment.’”

Today I learned that the [demonym](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonym) of Las Vegas is Las Vegans. Wonder who eats more meat, them or the space travellers from [Vega](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega). I also wonder whether a cloaking device trumps a tinfoil hat or the other way around. A tinfoil hat is easier to manufacture, I guess.
