Alien sighting brings eBay opportunities

STEPHENVILLE, Texas, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- An alleged UFO sighting in Stephenville, Texas, has created sales opportunities on auction Web sites, including souvenir T-shirts.

A small jar of burned or metallic dirt from an alien landing site appeared on eBay for $9.99, plus $8.95 shipping, but it received zero bids, The Fort Worth (Texas) Star Telegram reported Sunday.

Stephenville alien shirts have been selling better.

One shirt with the phrase "cowboy capital of the world" but with "cowboy" crossed out and replaced with "UFO," has been selling well. So has a Dublin Dr Pepper UFO T-shirt showing an alien ship "beaming up" cans of Dr Pepper with the phrase "We all know why they're here."
