Now the Latvian marketeers are learning from their government, just another case of the Usual False Observations (UFO). Which has become a hallmark of Latvians trying to create belief in theselves. But like their hoaxes in the end they fall to earth with a bang!

I goofed! I meant to give this article a rating of five instead of one. It seems that we humans are always looking for evidence that will prove conclusively that we are not the only intelligent life forms in the Universe. I believe this strong desire to verify the existance an extraterrestral and/or interdimensional intelligence can make us susceptable to hoaxes.
