Whales In Space

In January 2009, we posted an article about buying UFO insurance for your home, car, and property, but what about alien abduction insurance? Esther November wrote a great article that is posted on www.associatedcontent.com exploring the idea of getting insurance protecting you against alien abduction, possibly with the payout doubling if you are impregnated with an alien baby.

The UFO Abduction Insurance Company offers a policy with a single lifetime premium $19.95. Payout is $10,000,000 and requires the signature of an authorized onboard alien on a claim form to collect.

British Insurance managing director Simon Burgess claims he has sold over 30,000 policies, mostly to Californians, who paid $100 each to insure themselves in case they were abducted by aliens. He has also sold Loch Ness Monster Attack insurance.

Ogopogo, a possible plesiosaur

The Daily Courier, out of Kelowna British Columbia, reports two scientists have agreed to analyze the remains of a possible lake monster carcass, found by a kayaker on the shore of Okanagan Lake BC in mid June.

Okanagan Lake is the home of Ogopogo, a lake monster with thousands of sightings dating back to 1872. www.ogopogoquest.com has a small collection of the sightings online.

Ogopogo is described as your classic Loch Ness Monster/plesiosaur type creature and has quite the following, including being featured on a Canadian postage stamp and the mascot for Kelowna’s Western Hockey League team, the Kelowna Rockets.

The names of the scientists have not been released to protect their privacy.
