He Still Wants To Believe / August 7 2008
Reg has just been telling me again about his recent UFO sighting. He described the object he saw in the sky and recounted in encouraging detail how he had watched it come down in a small copse near the Townend Farm sheep fields. He finished by asking: ‘You don’t believe me, do you?’
‘I believe you saw something, Reg, but I think it’s a question of accuracy, not honesty. I think you were simply mistaken and what you actually saw was an aeroplane or a meteorite - not a flying saucer.’ His mouth opened slightly and his shoulders began to sag. I continued: ‘And your strange lump of extra-terrestrial metal is not evidence of technology from outer-space, is not a piece of an alien spacecraft. It is in fact merely a rock, a little portion of the planet Earth.’
I thought he was going to cry. It was obvious I had really offended him. He was frowning so much his eyebrows had joined together to form a bushy moustache. I think he was suffering mostly from shock; I don’t think it was resentment or bitter disappointment that prevented him from forming an immediate reply.
I tried humouring him. ‘You didn’t have some kind of close encounter, did you, Reg? You do rather look like someone who has recently had an Anal Intruder ™ inserted.’
‘Leave me alone,’ he told me.

Oh, the dreaded Anal Intruder. When I met Reg he looked like he had his inserted permanently.
