Yeah, I was trying to picture this myself, and was having severe difficulties imagining how it could happen. Hey, for all I know there's a bunch of green skinned Amazonian she-warriors guarding the Sligo entrance to the centre of the planet living on a vertical cliff face of Ben Bulben, who rather handily reported the UFO sighting.
