Possible revelation tonight that a planet in a distant solar system (dubbed Cuculus/i> by astronomers) may support life.
Messages received in the last few days suggest that the sender is trying to make contact with a group of people on Earth but the astronomers are mystified by the content which appears, in near perfect English, to be making some kind of statement or placatory peace gesture.
A leading researcher for SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) who has studied the message stated:
This is the first time this is being made public but we have received contact before from this same source and we have known for some time that Cuckoo KM to give it its full non-Latin name, was capable of sending messages but these were invariably confused, often making wild promises of some kind, often out of touch with any coherent sense of reality and sometimes with only a tenuous grasp of word meanings. This may account for the latest transmission which includes the words 'We apologise for our mistakes'.

They claimed a few years back that they had discovered intelligent life in a desolate part of the universe and then had to admit they were wrong when it turned out the message they'd received was....
"no one likes us"
They are asking if we want our ball back.
There have been a lot of false alarms through SETI in the past. Obviously this would be incredibly cool, but there are a lot of caveats, including that our definition of a planet "being able to support life" is a pretty narrow one, given that it is limited to carbon-based life forms, usually with liquid water and "mild" temperatures.
They are coming back then.
Sounds like one of their agents is touting players around.
Signing one of them might help stop us conceding from corners.
Should easily pass the CL height test.
What's the difference in believing this AND that some multi millionaire foreign fuck wit can run an English football club in that countries 2nd tier?
Some of us hoped we believed it...
This revelation that they are in fact from another planet only strengthens this comparison.

To be fair, I think that if you were to ask those involved in SETI they would say "we are looking for life that mimics that found on earth," and would not qualify it as the only form of life possible.
The adverts have been dubbed as being Gobbledegook though, hence the poor ratings.
I saw a documentary on SETI a couple years back. They are very cool. They basically evolved from begging and borrowing telescope time after having their federal funding revoked to being a pretty robust program (with a telescope array being built for them by UC Berkeley). What they do it search for the near impossible, which is damn romantic if you ask me.
Although, I have said before that David Icke, despite his off-the-wall beliefs, knows more about football than equally off-the-wall Roland Duchatelet
which is a rather frightening thing to contemplate.
