Description	Those sleepless nights and the flashing lights. Those nightmares and the missing time. Those continuous headaches and recurring sore spots. Why did these unexplained things happen to you? Well fortunately, by playing this game you may well be able to finally put your mind at ease and regain some semblance of normality in your life. Did you know that there is a (sort of) innocent explanation for most UFO phenomena? It could be as simple as some heady New Year's celebrations. The truth is in this game - somewhere. On another level, it serves as a subversive commentary on the chronic underfunding and endemic apathy that has become entrenched in many government departments. Or something.
Comments	Inspired by the classic game "UFO: Enemy Unknown", this apparently hastily put together entry is rather hilarious. Taking less than an hour to write according to Chris, the game nevertheless retains that air of mischievous "off the wall" humour and jokey cynicism that characterise many of his other works. First judging pass I wrote:- "As I write this though I enter a state of mild panic as I realise that the compo isn't halfway though yet, and in one previous year Chris submitted 14 games to the CGC. How the heck am I still going to find interesting (or even dull for that matter) comments to write about on that many possible further games? Let's hope he doesn't do that to me! " Second judging pass:- "Phew, looks like things turned out fine just after all no matter how many games were sent in, but why do I still keep getting recurring nightmares featuring UFOs?"
