Date: Wed, 24 SEP 1997 12:11:04 PDT WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Americans should sleep soundly at night with no fears of an alien abduction -- because the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certainly does. Gen. John Shalikashvili made his revelation during a question-and- answer session at the National Press Club today. After responding to questions about pressing issues such as Bosnia, military down-sizing and sexual misconduct scandals, the Clinton administration's top military advisor fielded one from deep out of left field. The question, read by a moderator, asked Shalikashvili if the United States had been truthful about threats the country faces from aliens traveling in unidentified flying objects. It claimed a recent survey showed a sizable percentage of Americans fear abduction by aliens. That prompted Shalikashvili, who came to the United States as a teen, to quip, ``Am I the alien they're talking about?'' On a slightly more serious note, he said he believes U.S. military officials have been completely forthcoming about extraterrestrials. Some people believe the government has covered up evidence that a flying saucer crashed in New Mexico 50 years ago, but Shalikashvili, who retires next week, said no evidence exists. He concluded, ``I sleep well at night without the fear an alien being is going to capture me.''
