It's official. The X-Files is not real.

A senior White House official has insisted there is "no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth".

Bugger!

And in a blow to millions of conspiracy theorists, the member of Barack Obama's administration added there was no credible information to suggest evidence of alien life is being kept from the public.

Somehow I doubt it will be a blow to millions of conspiracy theorists. A government official could tell us aliens have not made contact, JFK was killed by a lone gunman, the US did go to the moon and Elvis is not working in a chip shop in Slough.

I don't think the conspiracy theorists would buy any of it.

The unusual comments were in response to several petitions lodged on a White House website.

Senior space policy official Phil Larson said: "The US government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race.

"In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.

Well. That's that then.

Whats that bright light?

*Arrggghh*














Just kidding!
