Aliens blamed for fires

An Italian investigation into a series of unexplained fires in fridges, televisions and mobile phone is blaming aliens. It concluded that the responsibility for the fires in Canneto di Caronia on Sicily may lie with “aliens testing secret weapons”.

The village was the centre of attention three years ago after residents reported everyday household objects bursting into flames. Dozens of experts including scientists, electrical engineers, and military experts arrived in the village to investigate. One scientist reported seeing an unplugged electrical cable burst into flames.

Arson was ruled out while locals blamed supernatural forces and the Vatican’s chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth suggested it was the work of the Devil.

Francesco Mantegna Venerando, Sicily’s Civil Protection chief, who co-ordinated the report, said: “We are not saying little green men from Mars started the fires, but that unnatural forces capable of creating a large amount of electromagnetic energy were responsible. “We are also looking at another one which involves the testing of top-secret weapons by an unknown power which are also capable of producing an enormous amount of energy.”
