Posted May 02, 2008 9:08 AM

From Boing Boing:

These extraterrestials are making frequent appearances at the Calgary, Canada home of Karen Henuset. As the aliens seem to vanish on cloudy days, a neighbor dismisses them as reflections. BB readers know better though. From WCAU: "I looked out and I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I've lost my mind,'" resident Karen Henuset said of the first time she saw the specters. "So I asked our nanny to come and take a look at this, and the hair on her arms just stood straight up."

I remember back in the day when aliens used to come to the U.S. to abduct people. This is what happens when the 1 U.S. dollar is worth 1 Loonie.

How can they tell that they are extraterrestrial? They seem like typical Albertans to me? I think I had a beer with the guy on the left the last time I visited Edmonton.

<"As the aliens seem to vanish on cloudy days,.....">

That's the key folks.

Clouds mean suspended water, and possible rain.

Remember the wicked witch of the West, who dissolved when water was placed on her.

Now these are relatives of hers, without doubt, and having read "The Wizard of Oz", ensure they do not meet with the same fate.

Kind Regards....
