Tin Foil Hat Talks Agency

There is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Since 1981 the Agency has investigated every unexplained phenomenon reported to it, and explained all of them. Lights in the sky, things in the woods, signals from nowhere, time you can’t account for: it has already been explained. You can stop worrying now.
