Random Conversations from a Newspaper office

Last week the paper I work ran this story about an alleged UFO sighting on the outskirts of the city.
It garnered us our highest ever web traffic and started debate here and there about whether or not it was genuine.
Now whether or not you believe in UFOs is a matter for another day, but today while we were discussing the case one of my colleagues piped up.

"Well I believed him because I've been watching The X-Files for years."

Oh well, that explains it then.
