There's no basement in the Alamo!

Have y'all seen the reports of a bunch of good ol' boys 'n girls seeing UFOs in Texass? The incidents are kinda near my hometown (well, relatively -- it's a big-ass state). Here's what I think is the money quote:

"People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times," said Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot who said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide. "It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts." 

Awe. Some. I love that people's first thought is: It's the end of days!!! You don't get that kind of conclusion quite so quickly or so often elsewhere in the country.

And this reminds me: Over the xmas holiday, when we Gleemonexes were visiting our Texass fam, I was told that not one, but two, members of different branches of my extended family had seen UFOs -- separate incidents, years apart, and neither of these people is in the least way woo-woo/hippie/Mulderly and neither would make up a lie if their lives depended on it. Talk to your older relatives, people -- there's a goddamned goldmine up in there.
