"A saucer-shaped object on a very wide flatbed truck had some people wondering if the government was moving a UFO in or near Washington, D.C., Wednesday night..."When motorists snapped photos of the strange object and posted them on Twitter, some people became concerned enough to call local police."
It was actually a military drone.
[Pet peeve: UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. It's not (necessarily) an alien spacecraft. Even if this was one, it couldn't be a UFO because it wasn't flying!]
"One man called 911 in Prince George's County because, he said, he was concerned about a relative who lived along the route."
That is, the guy didn't call 911 because he saw the "UFO": he called because he read about it on Twitter.
Other stupid 911 calls made recently:
- A strip club wouldn't let a man enter with a kitten.
- A deli made a sandwich wrong.
- A Hardee's hamburger tasted bad.
- Gas is too expensive.
- A man's wife wouldn't stop looking over his shoulder while he was on Facebook.
