An Australian woman who had eight of her ducks go missing under mysterious circumstances suspects that aliens may be to blame! Desi Friend explained to a local newspaper that the weirdness occurred back in May when "over the course of two weeks, one by one they disappeared into thin air." The systematic strangeness was made all the more perplexing by the fact that there were no signs of forced entry at the enclosure nor clues left behind by whatever caused the ducks' departure.
"A wild dog couldn't have got past my dog and would have left feathers or a mess," she mused, "and a snake couldn't have eaten eight ducks in three weeks." Friend also noted that the birds could not have simply flown away because their wings had been clipped. Meanwhile, the other animals residing in the enclosure, like chickens and a rooster, remained untouched, suggesting that something was specifically targeting the ducks.
With all that in mind, Friend believes that there was one potential culprit that could have been behind the sophisticated operation: aliens. Incredibly, part of her reasoning for this rather fantastic conclusion lies in the perceived quality of the birds that were taken. "Whoever has taken the ducks has taken all the good ducks," she lamented, "so it must be alien forces, that have left me my two worst ducks." While one might worry about what became of the abducted ducks, we can't help but feel a bit bad for the pair who were left behind to wonder why they weren't good enough to take.
