Edinburgh, Scotland - (X-Files Mess): It has been dubbed the 'Skull of Doom' following a spooky Inca prediction that it would curse any daftass Hollywood movie that used it to resurrect the flaccid acting career of Harrison Ford.
And now the RAF is to guard the skies above Edinburgh's Hysteries and Mysteries conference which is exhibiting the pre-Atlantean Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull.
Three Typhoon jets have been scrambled on MoD orders after repeated sightings of an 'ominous mothership' attempting to spirit away the 5,000 year-old crystal artefact by tractor beam.
The magnificent quartz skull was originally discovered inside an alien UFO hangar in Lubaantun, Belize.
The archaeologists who claimed to have found the crystal object initially said it was hidden beside a collapsed Inca temple altar 'to avoid ridicule about any potential UFO hangar nonsense'.
Some believe the skull hails originally from the Cydonia region of Mars which NASA's Orbiter is currently excavating in the hope of unearthing a further eleven other 'sister' skulls, including the fabled fifty tonne Amethyst Giant.
Anna Mitchell Hedges was a raving loony.

Alabama town celebrates UFO past with family festival
FYFFE, Ala. --The town of Fyffe attracted international attention with a string of UFO sightings nearly two decades ago and residents are expecting hundreds of visitors to descend upon the town again this weekend.
But this time it will be for a UFO of another kind.
Fyffe, a city of less than 1,000, is holding its fourth annual Unforgettable Family Outing or UFO Days on Friday and Saturday.
A mini-industry sprung up in Fyffe after the sightings in early 1989, which had hundreds of people showing up to gaze into the night sky in search of flying saucers.
"As everyone knows, we are the UFO capital of Alabama," Fyffe Mayor Larry Lingerfelt said. "We have come to realize that our somewhat different reputation and worldwide fame of having alleged UFO sightings should be fostered and cherished."
He said the festival has grown tremendously since its start three years ago and has a great impact on the local economy.
This year there will be helicopter rides for the first time and Rhythm Nation, a 10-piece Atlanta band with horns, will perform at the free event.
The festivities begin Friday morning with the liftoff of hot air balloons. Balloonists from all over the Southeast will provide hour-long rides across Sand Mountain.
Friday night's music will start at 5, intertwined with the theme "Teen Night in the Park."
On stage that night, a "Ms. Senior UFO Pageant" will take place followed by gospel and Christian music.
Lingerfelt said this pageant is also a first for the festival.
Saturday includes an antique tractor show and Civil War re-enactment, along with live music and street vendors.

A REAL ET UFO DESCRIPTION
Some people never know what an extraterrestrial unidentified object looks like inside or out.
There are many different types, descriptions, and purposes. Some of the knowledge is protected. More will be shared when it is time to be known and accepted on earth as part of the awareness of reality.
The ET UFO is part of a fleet of ET UFOS.
There are many types. Some are shuttles. Some are carriers, some are battle ships.
This information is about one ship called a shuttle.
This ET UFO or spacecraft as it prefers to be called has Artificial Intelligence.
This ET UFO can use stealth and disappear as required.
This is a small spacecraft compared to those kept in stellar space and stealth.
This spacecraft is considered thirty feet by thirty feet in American measurements both inside and outside.
The color when seen sitting to the naked human eye would be considered a silver or grey in color. However, the skin or outside can change to any color imagined.
This spacecraft can project many lights of various sizes.
There is one entry door with a ramp that comes out. Landing gear can be protruded as needed.
There is a console inside with many objects that can bee seen and most are unseen.
There are two seats. These seats will form to anyone’s size when sitting in the seat.
The console has a place for two hand imprints with four digits spots. There are two of these consoles. One for each pilot.
The ET spacecraft is set up for two pilots or commanders.
The seats will turn in any direction but when seated they turn toward the console.
There are certain commands needed to fly this galaxy universal shuttle or GUS for short.

UFO' seen in Rexton
REXTON - It was a normal Monday night for 56-year-old Daniel Cormier of Rexton as he prepared to head to his night shift work as a truck driver. That is, until he looked up and noticed something far from normal in the night skyline.
"I looked up and something came up in the air and I said 'look at that' to my friend that was there," Cormier explains. "I said it's kind of a balloon and there was fire in it . . . I thought it was a balloon there, and there was somebody inside it or something. It started to come down and was coming down pretty fast and I thought it was going to crash."
Cormier described the unidentified flying object as white in colour and said he could easily see the fire against the late night sky. The object quickly descended to the ground in a yard nearby where Cormier lives in Rexton's Senior Housing complex. Cormier and his friend then went to put out the fire that was still burning from the approximately three-foot long object.
At this point, Cormier thought nothing more of the incident and went off to work. However, he wasn't the only resident who caught a glimpse of the mystery object in the sky, as police and fire departments were called and arrived on the scene around 11 p.m. to identify the cause for concern.
"It wasn't a UFO sighting -- it was one of those Chinese flying lanterns. They just kind of look like a weather balloon somewhat; they have a fuel source in the bottom and you light the fuel in the bottom and it's kind of like a sock," said Rexton Fire Chief Brent Goodwin.
"It floats through the air and it's supposed to float for miles. That's what it was. It must have hit a power line or whatever and then it fell down and it burned."
Fortunately, the lantern landed in an open yard and no damage was done. The fire chief said the incident could have turned out a lot worse.
"It seems to me that these could be hazardous. They're not supposed to come back down to earth lit, but this one obviously did. If they got into something that was flammable like tall grass or in the woods or whatever, it could be a dangerous thing," Goodwin said.
In the end, the only damage done seemed to be a brief scare at the seniors' complex where at least one resident thought the problem was serious enough to call in the authorities.
"They were concerned. You see something floating down from the heavens, from the sky, that's on fire -- it definitely scared them," Goodwin said.
Vida Finno, a resident of the seniors' complex, said the lantern looked "like the moon falling down to hit the earth."
Flying lanterns, also known as sky lanterns or Khoom Fay in the Asian culture, were used next to fireworks in traditional Asian festivals for thousands of years. They can fly to more than 1,000 metres in altitude and are still quite popular in celebrations in Europe and Asia.
The lanterns don't seem to be nearly as common in New Brunswick -- at least not as potential fire hazards. Both Doug Hamer of the Riverview Fire Department and Don McCabe of the Moncton Fire Department said they had never heard of the lanterns, nor of them causing a fire in the past.
While the mystery object in the sky was unfamiliar to local fire chiefs, it's a far too common occurrence for those who find themselves looking to the sky for UFOs.
"They are a big pain in the neck, frankly, for those of us in ufology," said Stanton Friedman of Fredericton, who is the president of the UFO Research Institute. "This isn't a little balloon . . . It's something much more impressive. Not so much around here, but Europe has particularly had them in heavily populated areas with certain ethnic groups.
"From time to time different things become the primary target that is things that people see that they say 'what the heck is that.' This one has been a leading contender for the last couple of years."
While a nuisance to some and a cause for concern for others, Cormier is just glad no one was hurt in the village's unexpected lantern adventure.
"I thought it was a balloon and there was somebody inside of it or something. It looked big with the fire in it and when it came down I said there can't be anybody in that because he would have hurt himself. It went down pretty fast," he said.
