Man: Help. Yeah, uh, it was wild, I mean really bizarre. Police Officer: Calm down sir! Now, what do you want to report? Man: Well, I'd like to report a UFO sighting. Police Officer: A what? Man: What do you mean "what?" An unidentified flying object! Police Officer: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw. Man: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 AM, when I saw this bright light overhead. Police Officer: Okay. And then what happened? Man: Oh, man.

The beast must have knocked me out and left me there. Police Officer: Well, that's the best story I've heard all night, sir. Now, have you been taking any medication, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party. Man: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I'm telling the truth.
