This next video happens to be our favorite of this week, and it's a perfect match for the Benny Hill Show soundtrack. The footage shows how a UFO is being chased at incredibly slow speeds down small rural roads in Gorey, Co Wexford in Ireland
We don't even need to sell the shock that onlookers must have felt. I mean, it's not every day to you get to see a flying saucer cruising like that, not even on the net.

If we had a car parked down that road, we would have been concerned for scratches, but the driver clearly knows about the width problem and it taking every precaution.

There's only one problem: it's fake. No, we don't mean that in an obvious way because we know there are no such things as aliens (???). But the scene is staged right down to the police participation.

The video itself comes from the guy who made the alien craft, so it's obviously a fake. Thankfully, it comes with matching photos of the "arrest" so you can sell the story as "Police Apprehending Aliens," even though that's not what is going on.

The UFO was actually made by a local artist nameAli Kemal Ali, originally from Islington, London. The student wanted to raise interest in a space-theme exhibition. So he came up with the idea of making this thing using two electric scooters with a UFO shape on top. It's even got lasers and smoke.

"They loved it. They were brilliant. How often do you go into a police station and ask for something like this -- it's always doom and gloom. They saw the funny side of it," Ali Kemal Ali told Sky News regarding the police's involvement.

Considering there are now dozens of articles regarding this incident, we'd say the 53-year old artist has achieved his initial goal of raising attention and then some.
