UFO mothership crash 'sucked power' out of Itaipu dam

Sao Paulo - (X-Files): Nearly 100,000 Brazilian depilation salons were plunged into darkness on Tuesday, bringing bewildered customers to their carpet-burned knees as a huge power outage hit the country.

Reports blamed the Brazil Air Farce for a crashed UFO that wrecked the Itaipu hydroelectric dam and blacked out much of Brazil and Paraguay.

Rio de Janeiro sources said today a routine flight patrol fired at the vast alien mothership as it was harvesting electricity from the iconic generating station.

Last year a similar craft was spotted over China's Three Gorges Dam hydroelectric plant ahead of a rendezvous with Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa.

At a press conference this morning President Lulua da Silva denied a Roswell type incident had taken place and hinted that renegade Mossad operatives might have hacked into the national grid.
