Aussies to Have First Contact with Aliens?

Do aliens exist? If they do Australians could be one of the first to know, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au pricing Australia at $6.00 to be the first country to have contact with aliens after an apparent UFO sighting taking place in Melbourne over the weekend.

The USA appear to be the most likely to have first contact with any aliens, priced at $4.50 followed by Russia at $5.50.

China have also been given some chance at $5.50, while Scotland and New Zealand are outsiders in the market at $41.

“Who knows if aliens really do exist but if they do, we are tipping the USA will be the first to know. Although the apparent sighting in Melbourne could indicate that Australia may be in with a chance as well!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
