Russian MP Asks for Probe Into Alien Abduction
A Russian MP has asked President Dmitry Medvedev to investigate claims by a regional president that he was abducted by aliens.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the leader of the southern region of Kalmykia, recently claimed to have been abducted by aliens. The BBC reports that Ilyumzhinov told an interviewer on primetime television that the aliens had come to Earth to take samples and that he had been taken on board their spaceship.
Now, MP Andre Lebedev is inquiring about official policy when it comes to politicians being contacted by Aliens. The MP is asking the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to investigate Ilyumzhinov's claims, claiming that if it happened, it's a historic event and should have been reported to the Kremlin.
According to the Beeb, millionaire Ilyumzhinov has a reputation for being a bit eccentric. As president of the World Chess Federation, he is said to have spent tens of millions of dollars turning the poor region of Kalmykia into a mecca for chess players. Ilyumzhinov is responsible for building an entire village, dubbed Chess City, to host international tournaments.

First Canada, now Russia.
I wonder how many of these stories we were missing out on before Stephen Hawking brought aliens back in fashion.
yep, Stephen Hawking put aliens back into the sub-conscious and now they are suddenly appearing everywhere again.
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!!
This sounds like a good plot for a FPS.
"Russian MP Asks for Probe Into Alien Abduction"

yes i think it might be anal probing that was done here.i doubt it was really alien probing so it must of bee a typo/.
Whoa, Cartman! Looks like you didn't get much sleep last night!
I love news like this. Because the comments always make me lol, thanks guys.

Hasn't he been probed enough?
Technically, the image of "Bob" is that of a monster not an alien, but love the image anyway.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't kidnapped, because if the aliens would come to Earth, they will surely come to USA. Probably in Washington DC, so they can fight Will Smith.
Perhaps the Aliens have come to speculate on the bond markets. It's probably the biggest game of high stakes poker (in the galaxy) at the moment...

The guy sounds like a real life Seto-Kaiba.
In Russia, the aliens probe you... as they do in the rest of the world.

Somewhat odd that this is newsworthy now as Kirsan's claims of abduction date back at least as far as his '98 autobiography "The President's Crown of Thorns." Frankly, he's loonier than a Wisconsin lake and with any luck the BBC piece will help Karpov in his run to replace Kirsan as president of FIDE.
In Soviet Russia, you are one anal probing aliens.
Sounds more like he just WANTED to be probed by aliens, some peoples fantasy's!
Andre Lebedev: "How come everything today has involved things either coming in or going out of my ass? "
"sending probe into Uranus" ;]
And MP stands for... Multi Player!
After being probed was he able to finger any suspects ?
"sending probe into Uranus" ;]
thanks for thumbing that guy down because you don't know where that's from...
I'm not sure why aliens, in intergalactic spaceships, would need a probe. Even us meager humans have perfected devices like CAT and MRI machines.
The whole thing is just plain crazy.
I wonder if the Aliens used Lube?
Quick... somebody set us up a bomb! All your base are belong to us!
thanks for thumbing that guy down because you don't know where that's from...
No, I think he got thumbs down because he got the quote wrong.
Technically, the image of "Bob" is that of a monster not an alien, but love the image anyway.
They've put him there to fight the aliens.
I love the pictures tom's put on their articles! lol
Anyway. If Aliens ever do contact us it will be months before anybody notices that it's for real. And most likely the Aliens will just be like: WTF? And then go to Uranus where there's less assholes.
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!!
TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOUR LEADER!!!!
