Look over here, there's nothing to see!

That new organisation, UFOCUS, has been putting went learnt lessons into practice. The paper has a story about a weird "cloud", unlike anything these people had seen before. (mmm...must be a UFO!!!!) Not to long ago, there was an article about a wee blurry pixilated image. (UFO, honest, guv!)

In both of these, Ufocus has been speaking their opinion. Nice of the papers to contact them... or was it the other way around? Call me cynical, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Ufocus pitched these articles to the papers as easy "here, we've written these stories for you, and the 'weirdness' angle will get readers in" pieces.

Why? Well, I won't comment on that, because it's the obvious motive.

Now if only the New Zealand Skeptics would get together enough to do stuff like this.
