Alaksan Police Pull Over Alien-Looking Solar Car

A bit of hilarious news: Alaska doesn't get much action, really, so it's no surprise that police thought they were pulling over a UFO when they saw the above solar car tooling down the road. I'd probably have thought the same thing, except that UFOs are unidentified FLYING objects...

But it was just Marcelo da Luz in his Xof1 taking a jaunt across the state to try and set a world record. A citizen dialed 911 upon seeing the vehicle, and police chased it down but didn't do more than ask him what was up with the crazy car.

Probably thought it was a spycar Putin had driven over from Moscow. Russia is right next door, you know.

"police thought they were pulling over a UFO..."

Yep, so they think it's a UFO. Is pulling it over really the best thing to do?

Lieutenant: "Uh, it looks like a UFO, Sarge."
Sergeant: "Well pull it over then, Lieutenant! He ain't got no license plates!"
Lieutenant: "But what about it's energy beams, Sarge?"
Sergeant: "I don't care about no energy beams! You just pull him over now!"

Some time later back at the station...

Captain: "How were things out there today, Sergeant?"
Sergeant: "Captain. There. was. nothing. to. report. We. found. nothing. unusual."
Captain: "And you, Lieutenant?"
Lieutenant: "Captain. There. was. nothing. to. report. We. found. nothing. unusual."
Captain: "What the heck have they been drinking?"

75 MPH? WOW that is pretty good.

Cool story and I like how he says the cops just want to check it out and look at it.

HUFFPOST....USE YOUR SPELL CHECK!!

Palin ordered all those who care about enviroment arrested.

[mergina]

Did they shoot if full of holes thinking it may have been a Moose?

[walk0nwalls]

Speeeeeeel check

[Portnoy]

Maybe Alaskan's know how to spell Alaskan.

[dogbane]

LOL!

[...and by the way, the plural of Alaskan is Alaskans. The apostrophe makes it possessive. /grammarnazi]

[JScott]

Check spelling-Alaskan not Alaksan.

"A citizen dialed 911 upon seeing the vehicle", someone shook the stupid tree.

Ed? Look there's some strange car on the road and you need to check it out.....What's strange? There's no tailpipe on the damn thing! Ain't that illegal?

911 is for emergencies only. Seeing weird crap, even a real UFO, does not count as an emergency, unless you are having sudden hallucinations, which would count.

Maybe he thought Japan was invading Alaska again.

[Tom95134]

Maybe he thought that the Russians wanted their property back.

If people started seeing UFOs hovering around above their town, guarantee ya', they're going to be calling 911. They're not just going to say "oh, it's just UFOs!" Get real. This story proves that's what they'd do (you included).

[Sumocat]

Unless they were blowing stuff up, which counts as an emergency, I totally would not call 911. I would catch it on video, post it on Revver (because they share revenue unlike other video-sharing services), and rake in the cash. At the very least, I'd snap some pics to post on my blog and pull in the eyeballs. That's how I roll.
