I just received this brief note from Xinthius, Executor in Chief of the Exalted High Command and Grand Poobah of the planet Fukwityu, which revolves around a star in the constellation we call Cygnus (actually, Kepler-24b).
Greetings Dave!
Earthlings are making up all sorts of stories about that missing Malaysian plane, so here's letting you know we snatched that sucker right out of sky for study purposes.
We're on our way back to Fukwityu, so you won't be seeing those people again.
All those ridiculous explanations. My, what fertile imaginations you Earthlings have!
We read your excellent blog every day—it's the best one we've found on the primitive technology you call "the internet"—and we're hoping most people on Planet Stupid ... uh ... Earth, which we call Dumfukistan, do too.
So if you would be so kind as to pass this note on to your fellow humans, we would be most appreciative. There's no need for such a fuss!
Hands across the Universe,
Xinthius
Well, OK, then, I think that settles it.
That's the most sensible explanation I've seen so far!
