Man’s continuing fascination in unworldly ideas.

When the bedroom light was turned out last night, the full moon was brilliant through the window.  Inevitably, we pondered about that massive universe out there.  My wish was expressed that before I die, I wanted to know that there was life on another planet.  This one piece of information would be the most thrilling and challenging fact ever presented to mankind.

So it was rather serendipitous to come across a small clip on BBC Television purporting to show a ‘UFO’ being caught by a live web cam.

However, the BBC also had in their archives another clip that did rather bring things down to earth.  Towards the end the reporter interviews the man responsible for crop circles, a better example of an eccentric Englishman would be hard to find!

Bet we still privately hope there is something ‘out there’, don’t we?
