Alien abduction fears over Mischief the talking cat

Grave fears were last night being held in Australia for the Territory's talking cat, Mischief, amid fears he had been abducted by aliens. It came after Siberian air traffic controllers claim that a female-sounding alien spoke to them in a cat-like language.

They say that a mysterious object - which they believe was a high-speed UFO - appeared on flight monitors over the remote Russian city of Yakutsk. It rapidly changed direction in the sky and reached speeds of nearly 1000km/h - surrounding planes were seen to be travelling significantly slower. The aviation workers tried to make contact with the ship, as evident in a video posted to YouTube.



"I kept hearing some female voice, as if a woman was saying mioaw-mioaw all the time," one air traffic controller told the pilot of a passing Aeroflot flight. Darwin locals last night expressed concern the air traffic controller may have mistaken the voice for that of Mischief, the Territory's talking cat. (Video).

The NT has one of the highest rates of UFO sightings in the world, sparking fears the aliens may have swooped on Mischief's Palmerston home and snatched the fiesty feline. Attempts to contact Mischief's owners last night were unsuccessful.
