Paper Monitor: Mr alien, sincere apologiesA service highlighting... A service highlighting... ... the riches of the daily press As far as apologies go, The Sun's is a wheeze. Today, the newspaper extends apologies to... aliens. So what did the little green men do to warrant this apology? Did the big lawyer in the sky send a strongly worded letter to the paper's editor. Did they threaten to invade planet Earth unless they were cleared of whatever slur the red-top had cast on their extra-terrestrial nation? Nope, the paper is apologising to Martian-kind for linking them to Scientologists. Say, what? Here's the apology in full: www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4966623/Aliens-An-apology.html#ixzz2W6CqzGnk"In an article on Saturday headlined 'Flying saucers over British Scientology HQ', we stated "two flat silver discs" were seen "above the Church of Scientology HQ". "Following a letter from lawyers for the Church, we apologise to any alien lifeforms for linking them to Scientologists." Glad that's cleared up then. www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-22887370

Scientologists get apology for UFO sighting By Candace Sutton news.com.au June 14, 2013 THE London Sun newspaper has apologised to aliens for linking them with the Church of Scientology. The one-sentence mock apology, which is trending on Twitter as the "best newspaper apology ever", is the Sun's response to a demand by lawyers advising Scientology's UK branch leaders. The church - which says humans are aliens who landed on earth - took offence when the Sun published an article about flying saucers sighted over its headquarters in the English countryside. The church demanded the apology for the article, subtitled "Close encounter of the absurd kind", and got more than it bargained for. The story began last Saturday when the Sun published a report about the pilots of three passenger jets who saw "two flat, silver discs" in the airspace over the Scientology HQ in West Sussex as they were queuing to land at England's second major airport, Gatwick. The encounter, which happened on the morning of December 30 last year, lasted seven minutes and was substantiated by air traffic control staff who spotted six UFOs on their radar before they suddenly vanished. The Sun quoted a former UK Ministry of Defence UFO investigator, Nick Pope, who called the sightings "spectacular" and said the evidence was "first rate - the witnesses are experienced pilots and there is radar evidence to back up their stories".

If they ever did apologize it would probably be while committing another act of personal terrorism. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.
