Chandigarh, March 31 In a startling development an unidentified flying object said to be carrying “aliens” crash landed near Zirakpur in the early hours of Friday morning. Estimated to be the size of five cargo ships, this elliptical object that emitted an “intense white light encircled the fields before it went down with a thud. No one is believed to have been killed or injured and the area has been cordoned off by a large contingent of the Punjab police that has been rushed to the site.
Right after the crash, radio signals were severely disrupted with cellphones going off the air for several minutes. Experts from the department of space and the Atomic Energy Commission, sleuths from the Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) and crack commandos of the army’s special forces are believed to be on their way to the site.
Top government officials said the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the US space agency, had been informed and senior scientists were expected to arrive at the scene soon.
The Bureau of Paranormal Research & Extra Terrestrial Activities in Denver, Colorado immediately released reports of some “alien spacecraft” signals being detected in the area of the Indian subcontinent. A bureau team is expected to arrive in the city in a special jet on Thursday.

THX.
Will check it out.
My relative insisted we had crash teams that could go
instantaneously to any spot on the globe to clean up such crashes.
Craft that large very very very rarely crash, even in a controlled forced landing.
Interesting that it’s purportedly happened at this time.
Will be interesting to see what thranspires therefrom.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
These aliens should develop a more stringent quality control system.
This is really surprising since our local newspaper did not report that Dennis Kucinich was traveling to India.
April 1st, hummm...
OH MY GOD!!!
When those things start showing up, the situation always turns for the worst! Get out of there, and save yourself!
I should keep track of April 1st better. LOL.
It could happen. After seeing the state of our planet they probably called tech support and spoke with Hajib in Mumbai. Hajib confused them so much they lost control and crashed. :-)

Thanks for the ping!
He may miss the bus if not............
Punjabi humour is keen on April 1.
From the bottom of the article;
“UFOS? ALIENS?....GIMME A BREAK
The Tribune team is thankful to stalwarts of the sci-fi genre James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, without whose creative legends this piece could not have been possible.
HAPPY FOOLS DAY folks! Hope you enjoyed the fiction.”
Hi! Yes, they have that there now. It was not there when the article first got published.
Actually, I think they misfired with this article. Normally April Fools articles are totally outlandish like “Queen Elizabeth is going to step down as a queen and join a Las Vegas singing act”
But, with UFOs being so much in the public eye, the article sounded “true” enough to have been taken seriously. I imagine the municipal offices in Zirakpur (the city in Punjab that the UFO landed) must have been overwhelmed at the number of calls from people WORLDWIDE
The article even quoted real Indian scientists and NASA
I am sure the Editor who approved this got a tongue lashing from the Publisher
