2ND AUGUST - INDEPENDENCE DAY?

UFO Magazine received a very curious telephone call this morning
(Wednesday, 14th July) from a London taxi driver by the name of
'John'. He wanted to know if we had heard a rumour that aliens
may be about to land on 2nd August!

John claimed that on Tuesday morning, 13th July, he picked up
some Microsoft executives to take them to the Dorchester Hotel
in London. They were later picked up by another driver from his
firm later in the day.

As John drove through central London, his ears picked up when he
overheard the executives talking about UFOs. Between using their
mobile phones, he heard the men state that the United States had
to reveal all they knew about UFOs by 2nd August or there would
be a mass alien landing! He heard mention of 'six crashed
saucers' and 'Roswell'.

After dropping the men off at the Dorchester, John later related
the conversation to fellow cab drivers, who inevitably responded
with a fair degree of ribbing. John alleged that he was so put
out by what he overheard that he visited a newsstand to locate a
UFO-related magazine in the hope that he could discover more.

As it turned out, he picked up a copy of The Unopened Files (our
sister title) and obtained our telephone number from that. His
first words to us were: 'Does anyone know if aliens are about to
land on August 2nd?' We contacted the Dorchester Hotel and were
told that no Microsoft or related computer function took place
there on Tuesday. The only computer function taking place today
is a two-hour meeting organised by HHCL. Of course, this could
be yet another variation on the 'guess what I found in a
briefcase left behind in my taxi' routine. On the other hand,
John had a definite cockney accent and spoke with conviction.

A good actor? A fanciful hoax?

Make of it what you will.
