Why is it that every time a UFO tries to land it ends up crashing?

“A rocket body hitting the moon has not created a double crater before”

This has happened before? Soviets?

I thought the Soviets crashed a module.

I think you mean the far side. The moon has no dark side.

“I think you mean the far side. The moon has no dark side.”

There is no dark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it’s all dark. (Pink Floyd.)

The aliens went to the same flying school the 9/11 muzzies did?
It was noted they were not all that interested in the landing part of the curriculum.
