Alien Protection Device *Not* A Selling Feature

By mister jason • Oct 20th, 2005 • Category: Random Oddities

I reluctantly remind you that I grew up in Iowa. Reluctantly because the people in this story aren’t far from uncommon.

Police have taken away a device from a home in Davenport after its new tenants discovered a box containing what they thought was a bomb…the house’s former owner said it was designed to scare off aliens living underground.

The complete story. (via BoingBoing) Sadly, there are no photos.

  1. we sell a device which allows the user to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence.visit http://www.lifetechnology.org/hyperdimensional.htm

  2. Oh, you “sell a device?” I bet you do you wack-job. Is it walkie-talkie? After all you could use it to communicate with lumberjacks in trees–that’s kinda extraterrestiral…Or is it just a tinfoil had with a coathanger stuck in the top? Let me guess: If you actually take your medication, your “device” no longer works.

  3. Hey racergirl, it’s a device, like, a superconductor or something, in like, in a mace can, or something, so get your facts straight!!! “Godhhhh!” (napoleon dynamite style)
