And then I shower with bleach afterwards, lest I use 'Phwoaaarrrr' in conversation. I take one for the team, and read the Sun’s website.

I'm willing to bet everyone remembers Winterval, kids banned from playing conkers and Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep but they're all bollocks. Tabloids (and some other papers) know that all they have to do is hit the key buzzwords/themes in the first third of an article, and then it doesn't matter after that. Doesn't even matter if they're forced to make a retraction: people's inherent laziness will ensure the story hangs around for years. Be prepared to encounter this UFO thing time and time again...

Think about that, the Sun actually thinks this passes as journalism for a newpaper that sells millions of copies per day. How stupid do you have to be to read stories of similar quality to this and then the next day think "I'll buy that again". Actually I take it all back, maybe I'm over reacting, maybe it tastes like bacon.
