An Anonymous Post

Now, this is something different! Someone who wishes to remain anonymous sent me the following and asked me to post it on the blog as a public service And it looks like this won't be the last such post, which is good because it has a bit of a cliff-hanger feel to it....

Strange Things Happen in the Alps
by Urs Ruefli, Alpine Alien Agency, Lausanne

During the past weeks, reports about strange events could be found in various publications. We at Alpine Alien Agency believe that there is a connection between these events. After all, for 14 years we are experts in observing the Alps to identify unusual happenings that could be attributed to alien activities. Let us summarize what we have found so far.

June 28, 2007: The Münchner Merkur reports that two young pigs disappeared from a farm close to Oberammergau. The theory was that they escaped and drowned in a nearby river.

June 30, 2007: Allgäu Online has a short article about a supermarket that was broken in at night. The only missing items were about 5 kilogram of pork meat from the freezer. The theory was that a temp from Middle East had removed them for religious reasons.

July 7, 2007: The Allgäuer Zeitung lists in his weekly police activity summary, that three newborn pigs were reported as stolen by a local farmer. The theory was that the father of the pigs disliked their noise and ate them, just to get back to sleep.

July 10, 2007: An inn at the foot of Grosses Walsertal reported that someone broke into the Speisekammer and stole half a pig that was just put into the freezer. The theory was that the pig was not completely dead and had escaped.

Now, why would half a pig want to escape? And there was no indication that any dead piggies' bodies were found at the bespoke river. That all doesn't impress us a bit. But why do we feel that these events are connected and meaningful? We can't say. We just do know. And we will find out more. Stay tuned.
