This week: Ufology/Aliens

Giant slug-like aliens are a pretty rare sight, to state the obvious. In fact, as far as hecklerspray knows, only one such sighting has been reported ever – by a large group of youths in 1952. The creature has come to be known as The Flatwoods Monster, and is popular enough (in a folklorish way) to have its own action figure and movie.
