UFO story on CNN's 2007 'News to Me' contest

11:35 AM PT, Apr 9 2008

Newstome CNN's News to Me program has selected Web Scout's UFO Hoax story as one of its favorites stories of the last year, to be included in its one-year anniversary show in a few weeks.

They've got a contest in which readers select their favorite from the list of nominees (you can also watch the UFO segment that ran on CNN here).

This is not a shameless appeal to readers to vote for my story. I urge you to choose your favorite from the slate -- and there are some pretty neat ones, including the now-famous Post Secret and the Exploding Whale. May the best candidate win.

As it stands, Tuxedo Travels, the story of two men traveling the world to save humanity wearing tuxedos, has 95% of the vote. And even though it looks like only a few people have voted, deficits like that are notoriously difficult to overcome.

Congratulations! That was an excellent story and it deserves to win. I will vote early and often.

Looks like UFO Hoax and The Exploding Whale are neck-and-neck at the moment! Unfortunately, we're both getting trounced by the likes of Balloon Project and Tuxedo Travels. Oh well!
