Of course, this is assuming that this is not like an irate customer you get on the average call center line, where the laws of physics and the rules governing reality are bent into a compelling fantasy story that sucks you into its erroneous, supremely flawed logic. They can take a normal, real event, and turn it into something completely wrong. A good storyteller can take a real event that looks really bad for his/her reputation as a moral, honest person, and twist it into an utterly believable, self serving work of fiction where the truth tellers are dishonest villains that cheat and lie to get their way, and the tale teller is depicted as a saint. They can use evidence to support a lie, casually dismiss the truth as fabrication, and convince the listener to believe what is being said, like Hitler's textbooks once persuaded German citizens to accept stereotypes as fact.
Is the author's story for real? I was convinced it was, but did it really happen that way? I don't know.

Laughable UFO story

This is what Phantasmo's Cheese Factory is all about. The paranormal.
For your paranormal reading pleasure, please direct your attention to the article entitled "Strange Blue Light"/"I think ufo are really" from February 19, 2003 on this page:

Revel in its amazingly bad grammar and unconvincing story. Yes, they are from Kosova (or is it Kosovo?), but still, it is terrible, and the website admin did not edit it. For four years. Enjoy!

UFO story

In 1817, an entire Russian Baltic Fleet and a large number of local residents watched in awe as a "flying wing" shaped UFO winged over rapidly and plunged into Kaliningrad Harbor. The UFO overflew the Baltic Fleet, which lay at anchor in Kaliningrad Harbor. When the radars came on, it simply winged over and dove into the water, as if had lost either power or control. The light gray colored craft was absolutely quiet as it passed, but made a "tremendous noise" as it plunged into the water, causing a geyser of steam and water, mixed with small debris, which shot an estimated 500 meters into the air. One Sovremini Class Destroyer was slightly damaged by flying debris, but fortunately the alien exchanged insurance information with the ship captain, so the repairs were done without cost to the Russian government.

Strange UFO story

A few months ago, back in July, I went to an ice cream parlor. And there, floating above the store, was a UFO, with a shiny metallic sheen that reflected the rays of the sundae!

I don't think so.

Many UFO stories involve people describing the number of windows on the spaceship. How would they find the time to do this? How would they remember? Wouldn't they latch on to a more interesting detail instead? I mean, if they were an odd shape, or had decoration, or glowed or something, you'd think that would distract you from counting, wouldn't it? When I look at a hotrod dragster car, I don't count the number of pipes coming out of the engine. I stare at the cool paint job, the style of the car, etc. I might notice if it's a sedan or a coupe, but not as much the windows. I don't count the windows on a cruise liner, and those look weird.
Another paranormal story involves a "witness" noticing that her fingernails were growing at a different rate than she was used to. Who in their right mind monitors the rate their damn fingernails are growing? It would have to be pretty friggin' fast for me to notice!

UFO theory

"Hi, I am just a teenager, but I am very interested in UFOs, extra terrestrials, etc. My school friends and I are strong believers. I have seen a ufo or two, and i was not alone when i saw each one, so i have witnesses. Many people wonder what they are doing here, and i have a theory. I believe they (aliens) are here because they signed a contract with Bally Fitness, and because they didn't allow the aliens to cancel, and because it affects their credit, i believe they want to attack. i am scared, yet fascinated by the thought of hostile beings in the universe who also have rippling muscles and tight abs. My friends and i are such strong believers because we understand that their are billions upon trillions of galaxies in the universe, and that it just isn't logical to think that we are the only life (intelligent life) in all the universe that enjoys a good workout. please send me your thoughts and opinions of ufos!"

Paranormal experience

Last February, me and my friend were out in a field in New Alaska, when we saw a giant square craft rise up from an ice sheet. It hovered in the sky for several minutes, changing colors and shapes right before our disbelieving eyes. Red hearts, green diamonds, yellow stars, and purple horseshoes. Then suddenly it rocketed off into space, leaving a trail of stars reading, "You will never get me lucky charms!"
