After UFOs, Oz locals losing sleep over USO, Unidentified Smelly Object! | A mysterious smell that forced people across two Top End neighbourhoods to call the police may have emanated from an Unidentified Smelly Object (USO), according to an Australian politician. After the people woke up to the stench, various theories about its
possible source started doing the rounds. Some said sewage was the source, while
others blamed it on the exhaust fumes of an alien spaceship. "We've had plenty
of UFOs around here...This is a USO - Unidentified Smelly Object," the Northern
Territory News quoted independent politician Gerry Wood, as saying. Keith Risk,
47, of Howard Springs, said he woke up at about 3am due to the bad odour. "It
was overpowering.... Like gas or rotten eggs. I drove around nearby streets and
could still smell it," Risk said. He added: "The stink went on for kilometres."
Risk pointed out that sewage, gas or even flowering trees could have caused the
smell. Gina Francis, 41, of Marlow Lagoon, Palmerston, said: "I thought it might
be a gas leak and was worried." Hubby Rod thought a chemical spill had taken place
somewhere. However, cops denied any such happening. Firemen also ruled out any
gas leaks. Litchfield Shire Council president Mary Walshe believed that pong was
a result of an accident in a secret amphetamine laboratory. But according to police
"clan labs" always smelt. An officer said: "That's why they are set up in remote
areas...But the smell only goes for a property or two." |
