  • Abducted by aliens? Call now for compensation

    2 hours, 21 minutes ago

    BERLIN (Reuters) - A German lawyer hopes to drum up more business by pursuing state compensation claims for people who believe they were abducted by aliens.

    "There's quite obviously demand for legal advice here," Jens Lorek told Reuters by telephone on Thursday. "The trouble is, people are afraid of making fools of themselves in court."

    Lorek, a lawyer based in the eastern city of Dresden who specializes in social and labor law, said he hoped to expand his client base by taking on the unusual work.

    He has yet to win any abduction claims, but says there are plenty of potential clients, noting that extra-terrestrial watchdogs report scores of alien assaults every year.

    "These people could appeal for therapies or cures," he said.

    Lorek, 41, is pinning his hopes for success on a German law which grants kidnap victims the right to state compensation.

    Asked if he was worried he might look ridiculous by seeking justice for clients haunted by aliens, Lorek was unfazed.

    "Nobody has laughed about it up until now."
    I will.

        What do you mean? Nothing wrong with being abducted by aliens.

          All these conspiracy theories give us aliens a bad name

          We don't abduct that many people, and only too a small degree we do strange sexual things with them. Most of the time we do just normal medical experiments, so I don't understand the hysteria

            You are quite right, aliens are a nice bunch. I have never been abducted but I´m sure it is a lovely experience. People are just trying to get into the news when they make up those stories.

                        How about suing those who show support for aliens by dressing like them and speaking up on their behalf.

                            Maybe I could apply because I have NOT been abducted. I feel so left out.

                              I was so afraid, when I saw your name as posting, that you'd joined the ranks of the looney.
