Yep! saw two of them grey's running down 15th street; I was going to shoot at them but decided to wait and see if one of them tall skinny ones was going to cross the road after them. Them two little ones had a 30 pack of Bud Light under each arm. Lol.

Moments after reporting the UFO, the caller, a 28-year-old medicinal chemistry research aide at KU's Malott Hall, was arrested on suspicion of manufacturing a controlled substance.

I remember years ago when there was a suspected UFO west of town. It turned out to be a weather balloon… No joke though.. did that call originate from the labs at Kansas University? Was there techno music playing in the background of the phone call? People new to Lawrence and experiencing LSD for the first time should know that there is an airport just to the north of us… I'm sure there was a call 20 minutes later when the next airliner sat down at kci…hippies.

Just because you aren't outside looking up doesn't mean there isn't something there. I've seen unidentified flying objects over Lawrence before. I just didn't think it was worth calling the police about.
