Burien locals know where the aliens are. 

Following last Saturday’s Burien UFO festival several extraterrestrial fanatics had some theories as to where alien life resides. 

“Aliens don’t exist in the way we’ve seen them represented. They come from the ocean, from the abyss,” said one individual outfitted in steampunk aviator goggles, exiting the beer garden. 

Upon polling the majority of festival goers, the consensus on whether aliens exist was an overwhelming yes. 

“It would be pretty ignorant to believe we are the only life forms out there,” said one vendor. 

While almost every attendee was eager to show their support for aliens’ existence there were a couple skeptics among the crowd.

“Aliens are something you believed in as a kid, there’s a scientific reason for everything,” said one festival observer. “I think it would be really cool if aliens did exist, but they just don’t.” 

Bill Beaty of Weird Science disagreed as he presented alien debris that he said originated in British Columbia. 

Crowd members were also invited to share their own personal experiences with alien interactions of UFO sightings. Several did, including one man who cited the military’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon division, a Pentagon operation that is publicly known and investigates unidentifiable aircrafts spotted in our skies. 

The Burien UFO festival closed with a showing of The Maury Island Incident, a film that ties ufology to the Pacific NorthWest, as it displays the 1947 sighting of UFOs over Washington’s Maury Island. 

The crowd dispersed as the festival ended, with their eyes trained on the night sky.
