I give this approximately 10 hours before it's become a mock-worthy meme, with dozens of YouTube spoofs that have, variously, Michael Jackson, Gary Glitter and LongCat peering-in through the window. Within 4 months it'll be referenced in a pop video. Within a year it'll be spoofed in the latest film in the "Scary/Epic/Whatever Movie" franchise.
THAT'S how you fake, Mr. Peckman. Not an alien peeking through a fucking window, as if aliens who have the technology to travel across the galaxies need someone to go down there and take a look to see if anyone's home. "Yeah, XLPZIG 2, we have hyperspace, but we're still working on everything else. So go down there and check that window. Be careful. Take that pointed stick with you".
Oh man. THAT was the alien? PUPPET! HAH. I do like the blinking, but eh. Blinks looked too slow, deliberate. I'm sure whoever made the puppet had fun with it, though. At my college we used to take mock UFO photos for one of our classes; it was a lot of fun.
Ah. Just scrolled up and read the article. A fake of a fake.
...I want to make an alien puppet now.
I'm interested in seeing the 'real' version, after seeing the article with the capture. Not really impressed, just curious. The whole thing reminds me a bit of that scare tactics show, if anyone here's watched it.... or of having wild deer at my mom's house peek at me from my window at early morning and scare the crap out of me.
