My bet says that some juvenile aliens were having a drunken bet on whether or not one of them could hit a single camel from just outside the orbit of Saturn (probably they caused that hexagonal storm too), and they chose to throw the inter-steller equivalent of a Yak-Bak at us.

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

Wow. I totally missed THAT sequel.
Heck, we used to dive-bomb WompRats in Beggar’s Canyon – they’re not much bigger than camels.

While it was tolerable, it was a step down from the first one.
Kind of sounds like Black Hawk Down. Did the locals kill the aliens and loot their spacecraft?

Interesting. They’ve decoded it.
That’s all they have so far…

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

I had that joke all lined up and ready right then and there! You suck! :mad:

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:

The extreme southern tip of Somalia bordering Kenya is heavily forested jungle. In fact, that area is extremely active right now because it is the latest refuge of the Islamic Courts who are fleeing from Ethiopian forces. The story is suspect, but not because of the mention of the word ‘jungle’.
This is clearly an Eritrean/communist satellite failure. Not a big deal. The aliens will certainly start their invasion at the Diomede Islands. That way they get two huge superpowers to eliminate each other. China and India would be the next two countries to be convinced to nuke the rest of the world.
"Aw, Marklar…" 
Three days have gone by and nobody has greeted our new alien overlords? 
Sheesh - before you know it they’ll go home in a huff and once again there will be nothing to investigate at a UFO site. :rolleyes:

I should’ve waited to post it until 7:21. Damn! 
No word from the author of the article.

I was expecting at least one “All your Basenji are belong to us”
…and Autolycus it should have been ‘Obi Wan Mugabe’
I can’t wait until they interview the aliens. I have been dying to know what happens when you actually beat Galliga.
How can it resemble an Unidentified Flying Object anyway, without us first identifying what those look like?

Yeah, but that’s one of these “dog that didn’t bark” propositions, isn’t it?
