Linn Murphy knows these UFOs better than anyone.

UFOs baffle O.C. earthlings
3-foot-wide foam saucer stops traffic, empties bars and is said to 'drip fire.'
By TOM BERG

IRVINE - He is used to attention. To crowds. To causing a stir.

The hoax master has fooled thousands. But now, it appears, the jig is up. Three golf carts of security guards and uniformed men converge on Linn Murphy in a dark park behind the Orange County Fair.

They've got him – and the so-called UFO he's been hovering tonight over the fair's packed concert.
. . .
“All the police know me,” he likes to say of his nightly obsession – flying radio-control planes shaped like saucers with lights. “It's never boring. Every night is different.”

He's been kicked out of parks by police. Questioned by security. Confronted by businesses. But generally, everyone ends up asking the same thing: Can you show us how the darn thing works? And Linn Murphy – the Southern gentleman with ever-present radio controls dangling around his neck – is happy to oblige.

Tonight is different.

“Come with us,” he is told.

Murphy is escorted into a cart by men wearing full body armor and helmets. Men who look like … soldiers.

For this Canuck, confirm or deny; It really wouldn't take much to confuse the citizens of Orange county, would it?

Bill was right, though. But I still admire this UFO guy for all the extra time he seems to be pulling out of his ass. While holding down a day job, yet.
