OK, UFO believers - it's time to head towards Washingto D.C. for the closest thing the movement has ever had to a Million Abductee March: Congressional-style hearings on the existence of alien intelligence.
A former U.S. Senator, Mike Gravel, and five more members of Congress are listening to testimony through May 3 at a Citizen Hearing On Disclosure being held at the National Press Club.
Gravel, a former Special Agent in the Counter Intelligence Corps, told my friend Lee Speigel of the Huffington Post that people have a right to know.
"I don't think ET is the best word for it. I think it's more unidentifiable foreign substances or vehicles in the air -- it's unidentified," the former Senator said. "I don't know if it's little green men or purple men or if it's any men. All I know is that, worldwide, there's thousands and thousands of sightings. Some of them may be hallucinatory, but under close examination, there are real sightings. There's something that we don't know of."
If you can't make it to Washington, Lee has been keeping a live blog on the hearings.

Ever want to name a country? Now you can... sort of.
Iceland is in the market for a new name, and after accepting submissions from across the Internet (never a good idea), it's deciding between two options: "Let's Get Lost Land" and "Isle of Awe Land."
So far "Isle of Awe Land" is winning in a landslide, but there's still time to change that by casting your own vote on the "Inspired by Iceland" Web site.
Other submissions that didn't make the Top Two included "Best Place to Grow a Beard Land" and "Niceland," plus a few others that I'm sure didn't get passed out by tourism officials.
"A country's name is its identity but that doesn't mean it describes it in the right way," Reykjavik Mayor Jon Gnarr told the Daily Telegraph. "I mean, look at Greenland."
Voting will end in two weeks - and there's one little catch: The "new" name won't exactly be official. It's more of a marketing thing.

You really can find just about anything on Craigslist.
This two-bedroom pirate ship is available to any wannabe buccaneers in the St. Louis area, and you don't even need a chest o' gold.
Just $79,000 will do, according to the item's listing page.
The listing says the ship was built over a 1988 50-foot Gibson houseboat - so you get some modern conveniences that would make even Blackbeard envious, like twin 454s, a Kohler generator and V drives.
All that, and room for 30 of your filthiest high-seas scallywags to party and pillage all night long.
Arrrrr!

Jonah Falcon is already "big" in one sense: He's got the
world's biggest penis. Now, he's looking to make it big somewhere else - and it's not in his pants.
Jonah's got a new song out, "Too Damn Big," and it's all about the 13.5 inch part of his body that's made him famous around the world.
Here's a sample of Jonah's lyrics:
I heard it from all the guys and every single freakin' girl
They wanna try and take a ride on the biggest in the world
But in order to ride the beast it must be unfurled
And the big chorus:
Too damn big
It's just too damn big
Your penis too damn big yeah
It's too damn big
Andy Campbell of Huffington Post has more on the tune, which is now available now on iTunes and CDBaby.
See more of Jonah Falcon in this special gallery.
