Where have all the UFOs gone?

Distressing news from UFO watchers -- sightings of flying saucers are dramatically down. Ghosts have stopped haunting creaking mansions and even Nessie has come over all shy and retiring. Experts blame the decline in paranormal activity on our obsession with terrorists, who have replaced aliens as our favourite bogeymen. "These days journalists have wars and atrocities to cover, so they aren't going to be chasing some old poltergeist down the road," says a spokesman for the Fortean Times, Britain's leading magazine on weird phenomena. It's a sad day for journalism when we can't even be bothered to cover ghost sightings any more. I say down with the shoebombers! Bring on the headless horsemen!
