ET PHONE THIS NUMBER: UK'S FIRST HOTLINE FOR ALIEN ABDUCTEES

The UK's first hotline - and possibly the galaxy's - for people who have been targeted by aliens has opened to the public. If you think you may have been visited by little green men (although, more commonly, little grey ones) but are worried your tales of probings and spinning spaceships will be laughed at - fear no longer. The Anomalous Mind Management Abductee and Contactee (AMMACH) Helpline has been flooded with calls from people who have experienced close encounters of the third kind. The free service offers a listening ear for anyone who believes they have been contacted by someone from another universe, dimension or alternative reality. Joanne, a single lady in her 50s from Langley Mill, East Mids., said: "The helpline is the first port of call for people who have experiences in the realm of UFOs, contact and abductions.
