In an ongoing, mysterious case of what some call out-of-this-world graffiti (or “crop circles” without the crops), “Aliens” recently tagged Burien’s Beverly Park neighborhood with this strange symbol:

“Soon onlookers were shocked to know that they live in the City of Burien rather than unincorporated King County, and cheers were heard as the Aliens departed,” an unidentified witness said.

Cheers were heard as the Aliens departed – they said they were seeking “the Burien Neighborhood Champion.”

Some skeptical B-Towners say this new “flying saucer” evidence may actually be a marketing ploy for the upcoming Burien UFO/Film Festival, set for Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, but who are we to judge?
