UFO seen over Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that pop icon Michael Jackson died aged 50 from suspected cardiac arrest at the end of last week. What you may not have heard is that there was a UFO sighted over the famous Neverland ranch in California just hours after the singer's death.

As reported by a clearly embarrassed Michael Cohen at All News Web, "a glowing green light" was reported by a reader hovering distinctly close to the music celebrity's ranch.

"I see a glowing bright green light slightly to the North and I know it sounds kind of timely and weird but this hovering light appeared to be situated right over where Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch would stand," an e-mail to Cohen from reader Dave Russo explained.

"It was way larger than a star and appeared sphere shaped," added Russo. "The UFO hovered for a few minutes and then shot up and off."

The Morningstarr Web site for paranormal activity speculated that the Dave Russo in question may be the well-known stand-up comedian of the same name.

A subsequent trawl of related Twitter destinations on the sighting uncovered a variety of reactions ranging from ponderous suspicion and semi-belief through to clear-cut humour -- with The Tech Herald's favourite being a link to a spoof site that, not only offered support for the UFO sighting, but also claimed to have evidence that Elvis was piloting the alien craft!

Now that is a conspiracy theory.
