Smile Cops chase a UFO over Cardiff

The mystery aircraft zoomed straight at the chopper as the three-man cop crew prepared to land.

The pilot banked sharply to avoid being hit, then launched into a high-speed pursuit. But he was forced to give up the chase as the helicopter’s fuel ran low – and the UFO escaped.

I think it was Al Gore's personal jet.

Yes, because you never know when they might bust out the DEATH RAY!

I doubt it was Al Gore or Ted Kennedy. Might've been Richard Branson's ego tho...

Cop 1: "What the hell was that!"
Cop 2: "I don't know, but I think I saw 'Virgin' on it...."
Cop 1: "Damn, you, Branson!"
