Anyone spotted any? Google are chiming in as usual with a human to animal language translator this year. My insurance company Swinton, sent me an email, in their usually layout and style, so it looks like their real mail shots, regarding extra terrestrial encounters protection lol only the flying saucer in the banner give it away at first glance lol

"Every year, thousands of people claim to have close encounters with life-forms from a different galaxy. These experiences range from UFO sightings to the most serious type of alien encounter: intergalactic extraterrestrial abduction. The question is - if they are out there... how can you make sure you're protected?

In February, the Ministry of Defence released files detailing hundreds of UFO sightings across the UK. In response, Swinton have created Extra Terrestrial Encounters Protection.

This could give you the peace-of-mind of knowing you're covered for close encounters of any kind - from getting jelly legs when you spot a flying saucer to providing for your family in the event of alien abduction.
