In the sky, It’s a bird. It’s a UFO. No it’s a candle.

Candles are wonderful items. They provide light in the dark, are decorations in homes, and integral to the connection some have with God in their religion. Candles have been around in one form or another since at least the Egyptians if not older. Everyone has at least one in their home right now.

And candles may just be the invention of Aliens.

Now I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure that while the history of candles may be lost to the depths of the past, I doubt that mystery is on par with the Pyramids. It’s highly doubtful that alien visitors left them for man to build technology upon. Of course I could be wrong.

It seems that this was what quite a few people in Grangemouth, Stirlingshire seemed to believe recently. Well almost. What happened was far more terrestrial.

It seems that there was a party and some of the party-goers decided to release some balloons. The balloons were attached to candles that were lit. The purpose of this is to grant the person a wish, making their dreams come to life. But of course this was not the dreams of over a dozen people looking into the night sky.

The police were called with citizenry in a panic that alien UFO’s were converging in preparation for an invasion, or at least observing the Earth.

So the net time you are in Scotland, enjoying a party with friends, you might want to call the police before trying to make your dreams come true.
