Alien Baby Found in Wyoming

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) -- The headline raised some eyebrows, but authorities said there's no evidence an alien baby has been found in Casper.

According to a story published in The Weekly World News tabloid, local rancher Phil Merleson found a scaly skinned infant on the floor of his barn May 7 after hearing a humming sound emanating from the building.

The story added that mysterious lights were seen in the area the previous night. The creature, the paper reported, has two brains and three hearts, is in good health and can produce high-frequency wails capable of shattering glass.

Included with the story were several photographs allegedly taken from a video shot by Merleson's wife, Cynthia.

FBI Special Agent Ann Atanasio said the agency was not aware of any alien babies discovered in its territory covering Wyoming and Colorado and denied any involvement with such a case.

"But I suggest that you might want to refer any inquiries to FBI headquarters and ask for agents Mulder or Scully," she quipped, referring to the stars of the TV show "The X-Files."

Natrona County Sheriff Mark Benton was also unaware of any alien babies discovered in barns in his jurisdiction.

"I wish we had found an alien baby, but we have not found one and we have not really been looking for one," he said.

The newspaper learned of the happenings from the Merlesons themselves, who sent editors the videotape, Weekly World News executive editor Barry Dutter said.

No one named Merleson, however, is listed in Casper-area phone books or on any Internet-based telephone directory.

what is going on in the world when you can't even trust a valued source such as the Weekly World News?

well. i suppose the line, "The farm, which overlooks the tobacco fields . . . " was a giveaway. at least jayson has a job ideal to his unique talents. which, though nothing to bragg about, are significant.

Great minds on the exact same wavelength: 3 posts on Jason Blair at precisely the same time. First post was particularly hysterical.

Well, once we've established, then we should send it back, with the rest of the aliens...

To Mexico...

What have you been up to, ya big lizard?

Ah. The 'Podmobile, no doubt.

Why is it that aliens never land in the middle of a university or NASA? Why is it that rural eccentric yokels always have all the luck?

How can you be both scaly and skinned?

Maybe they've been monitoring us for years, and would prefer to avoid angry college lesbian feminazis, socialist professors, and wasteful bloated government programs.
