Rather Alien To Their Nature
A Sussex primary school pretended a teacher had been abducted by aliens - in order to promote creative writing skills. Pupils were told an alien craft had crashed near the school and pupils were encouraged to "follow a trail of debris". Sussex Police set up a crime scene in the area.

Flying Saucy
Alien Spotters Just Want Their Space
Authorities in Perm, a remote Russian region at the centre of dozens of reports of UFO sightings, have started work on a $6 million centre to attract alien spotters. Many believe Perm is regularly visited by aliens and officials want to build an observatory for people to scan the skies for UFOs, in addition to a special trail along sites of supposed UFO sightings, as well as displays and even equipment like infra-red cameras that can be rented by UFO spotters to catch aliens on film. A lawyer is even planning to open an office there to give advice on compensation to people who have been the victim of alien abduction.

Cord On Blur
Who’s Got A Hang-up About Their Phone?
I decided it was time to challenge my photographic abilities. Yes, I’m attracted by strong colours. But would I be able to shoot something totally devoid of colour - and still produce an interesting image? So I decided I had to shoot something in monochrome. And it had to be no further than a radius of two metres from where I was sitting at my desk at work. I thought about the window blinds, but they were just outside the two-metre radius. Then my phone rang and I thought, ``Must untangle the cord’’. That’s when I realised I had the answer to my own challenge. This image might look like a nest of mutating aliens, but it’s only the tangled cord of my telephone. I shot it on macro, without the flash.
