Crackpots hampering UFO study, author says
Halifax, NS - In what has to be the first recorded version this month of a crackpot calling the kettle black, Chris Styles, author, UFOlogist and guest speaker at The Halifax International UFO Symposium (HIUFOS), blames Ed Wood's spinning pie plates, the Raelians' obsession with cloning and Erich von Daniken for turning the study of UFOs into a running joke.
Styles, allegedly best known for his work on the 1967 case of a suspected UFO in Shag Harbour, NS, is really quite peeved.
"The pre-registration at the HIUFOS is so poor that I just had to say something," droned Styles, "I'm giving up my Thanksgiving weekend, not to mention the life I have given up, for these shows. Where's the appreciation?"
Better still, Mr. Styles, where's the proof?
Styles, an implant-carrying member of the Mutual UFO Network, along with his co-author Don Ledger, has written a book, Dark Object, that chronicles the events of October 4, 1967 when something mysterious fell into Shag Harbour. Styles and Ledger like to believe it was a UFO while most Shag Harbourians believe it to be garbage from Expo 67.
"Lord Tunderin' Jesus," Shag Harbour Mayor, Cindy 'Pull'em Down' Nickerson, "Will day nebber let that ting go. That wee Styles fella was aboot 12 at de time. Shoulda bin pullin' 'is pud not this prank!"
(For Christ sake! Will it never end? Young, Mr. Styles should have been wanking instead of saying he seen something fall in the water. Too much book learning got into that one.")
Styles would also have us believe that Shag is a type of bird, a Cormorant, of all things. |
