More Aerial Sightings

by Paigetheoracle

Look, up in the air, it's a bird…it's…a lot of birds…

 Paigetheoracle wrote, 'Couple of hundred caught my attention but I missed a larger bunch of maybe five or six hundred because I was in the woods (saw them through the trees).'

The Editor downloaded the video with trepidation…a couple of hundred what? Fortunately, it was our old friends flying to their winter lodgings.

Fiction Moment:

Illegal Aliens?

By FWR

Makes you think. (At least, we hope so.)

'Are you sure of the numbers?'

The Prime Minister looked around the COBRa attendees, seeking out his Home Sec.

'A rough estimate. But, we believe it's in that region, yes.'

'What the hell are we going to do with over one and a half million, erm, you know, of, of, erm, them?'

'Naval resources, our own, the French, Germans, and Norwegians are being deployed. Sadly the Yanks have refused point blank. We've seconded the RNLI, local fishing boats, ferries etcetera. Quite simply, this will be the greatest maritime flotilla since Dunkirk!'

'And still no intel on where they're from?'

'No, and that may be the biggest hurdle we have to manoeuvre,"  the Comms lead interjected, "Quite simply we have no idea where or what these, erm, refugees, migrants, displaced, erm, yes, no idea at all. A PR nightmare and fodder for the press on an epic scale!'

The PM glanced at the screens, sickened by the already outrageously unkind headlines on the Breaking banners.

Above the scrolling news, the grey, dark Channel, illuminated by thousands of searchlights and helicopter FLIRs.

The ships and boats circling the vast craft, as thousands upon thousands of 'aliens' disembarked the stricken starship.
