I’ve said before that UFO’s are absolutely real, by the very definition. UFO, meaning unidentified flying object, of course, doesn’t imply alien or paranormal in any way, of course. If you see something in the sky and you can’t tell what it is, either because it’s too far away or there’s too much glare, then it is by definition, a UFO. Of course, chances are it is really a plane, helicopter, balloon or plastic shopping bag.

But at least one more explanation is now added to the list of IFO’s (identified flying objects.) It turns out that Linn Murphy has been making a hobby out of having some fun with people, especially at public gatherings. A few LED’s and a saucer-shaped RC aircraft is all it takes to make people think that our salvation or doom has arrived – depending on whether they favor the good alien or bad alien school of thought.

The total cost of the equipment is only $1000 and certainly worth the good times and laughter it will bring. And it’s not even illegal! The article quoted a cop as saying: “There’s no ordinance that says it’s illegal to fly a super-double-secret, gyroscoptic UFO in county airspace.” How many other cool pranks are left that are still legal?
