Man abducted by aliens
Wendover Police were shocked last night when a distraught man called at the station to report an alien abduction. The man (who cannot be named for legal purposes), aged 35, explained how he had been walking in the woodland to the rear of his home when the incident occurred.
Seeing a blinding white light above the trees, the man went to investigate. On reaching the area where the light was brightest, he felt the urge to look up and saw a large hovering, saucer shaped object above him.
A beam of green light appeared from the centre of the craft and allegedly drew the man upwards and into the vessel, where medical experiments were carried out on him.
The man’s account was so horrifying, that police are warning members of the public to stay away from the local woods until further investigations have been made.
Dog eats £2.4 million winning lottery ticket
Chester the labrador of Chigwell Square was in the dog house yesterday when his owner, Mandy Betts, caught him chewing her lottery ticket. Mandy had only just checked the winning numbers to discover she had matched all six balls, when she noticed Chester playing with a soggy lump of red and white paper. She retrieved the paper – her lottery ticket – only to have it snatched back and swallowed by the disobedient doggy.
Chester is looking for another home. Phone Wendover 235 8879 for details.
