Alien hunters are watching the skies over New Jersey.
A bizarre device apparently meant to spot UFOs was found inside Wharton State Forest near Saw Dust Pile Rd. in Tabernacle Township last week, said New Jersey State Park Police, who shared a photo of the kooky contraption on their Facebook page.
The low-tech gadget consisted of an orange snowplow marker and a soup can stuck to a piece of wood painted silver. The can was “plugged” into the wood ...

a take on the story from a fatalistic, humorous side:

Didn’t aliens land at Grovers Mills, in the same area, on October 31, 1938?
What a weak article. They don’t indicate if it works.
Patent Pending on that gadget.
I bought mine from Ebay. Got a discount purchasing a slightly used “like new” product. I’m outside right now. Surrounded by Greys. They appear to be friendly but, their expressionless big black eyes don’t reveal much. They should check out Vegas. Their expressionless faces make them excellent poker players.
I read that as being China Virus free.
“Park police detectives, the K-9 Unit and an explosive detecting K-9 named Prime fully investigate the object, officials said. They quickly realized it was harmless.”
LOL I suppose that this is considered “wise use of resources.”
Reminds me of a bomb threat call years ago at a school. It consisted of 2 wires with alligator clips on the end clipped to the studs that held the toilet to the floor. No call was made, but they evacuated the school anyway.
Quick! Call the FIB before the can pleads the fifth.
You gotta problem with that?
I wonder how many answered the Microsoft News Poll at the end of the article...
My father was 11 years old and recalls listing to it on the radio as it was broadcast. His parents freaked out and they all headed for the church along with many others who gathered there.
Makes perfect sense so many were fooled in a day and age when a grade school education was common and radio was a voice of authority.
“How likely, if at all, do you think it is that UFOs are visiting state parks in southern New Jersey?”
17% Very likely
I just watched Cocoon and saw a lot of aliens. Quick all us old farts into the pool!
If this was up in a tree near an apartment block, I would say whoever put it up was listening in on someone’s Wi-Fi network.
Well, ‘UFO’ is a term that can mean a lot of different things.
It would have been interesting if they’d asked how many ALIENS were visiting New Jersey...:-)
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Sort of in Warhol’s stomping grounds...
Bidet is flying in illegal aliens for sure...

No different than the Wuhanic Scamdemic of 2020.
