In a clear sign of just how deeply embedded the UFO phenomenon has become in our popular culture, the world's longest-running soap opera - Britain's Coronation Street - is soon to be buzzed by Unidentified Flying Objects.

The Daily Mail reports that, in an episode of the soap yet to be aired, while out stargazing, the characters of Julie Carp and Brian Packham will spot "what they think are UFOs in the sky."


According the Mail:

"Brian thinks he has spotted some UFOs and the pair become so convinced of an alien invasion that they keep their eyes on the skies above.

As he looks through the telescope, Brian says: 'I'm a respected expert in the field of UFO landings and I'm telling you what we've seen with our own eyes are the genuine article.

However, the excitement proves to be all too much for Julie who declares: 'This UFO spotting business is really turning me on.' She then grabs her beau and says: 'Make love to me Brian, I'll protect you from little green men.'

The couple are then seen rolling around on their blanket, all thoughts of ET and his friends forgotten in a flash.

But they soon turn back to their 'discovery' and begin to dub themselves 'The Mulder and Scully of Weatherfield' in tribute to the detectives in cult 90s sci-fi TV show 'The X-Files'."
