Considering what's available FPV wise to the general public in the way of model planes (I fly relatively silent electrics), I can barely imagine what amazing stealthy toys the military must be able to cruise around with these days.

Either that or aliens.

I watched an episode of X-Files last night (called "E.B.E.") that included the proverbial swamp gas explanation, amongst others. Very timely.

Now, with all this attention you've drawn to yourself, listen out for strange clicks and hisses on your phone line, and plain-looking cars, that you've never seen before, parked on your street. Oh, and a tradesman who "needs to check your gas connection" but who strangely looks very clean, quiet and observant may not be who he seems to be.

I have no idea what you are all talking about. Light? What light?

All I can remember is a flash of blue light... I knew it was the Russians

I think I may have misled you all with my suggestion of theme music earlier. In light of new information, this music is much more appropriate.

So, grab your and may The Force be with you!

Especially if he doesn't have a gas connection.

Luckily they had already picked up someone else from down the street and had no more room!

I think they misunderstood my wife's accent - when she said "Neuterise him", I think they thought neuralise.

Either way, I feel like a great weight has been removed from me.
