Yeah! I saw that - Ripley's Believe it or Not - that was the episode they talked about all the weird laws they have - in Arkansas - I think, it's illegal to have a chicken or buffalo hamburger. Anyways - its forbidden for anyone to have contact with any aliens or creatures from out of this world because Area 51 along with Majestic 12 signed a contract, together, performing the law that they have total right to observe and collect data and evidence from something that does not belong to this world. The only person/people who can't get fined for having any contact is the owner of the field or location or property that the alien arrives in or on. Pretty annoying!

Oh yeah! The government knows so much more stuff than us. (obviously) - I was doing research and my father got me into a program thats only aloud for employees at the this TECH SCIENCE CENTER! It was like top government stuff. They know or atleast pretty sure that Bigfoot is real. They have hair samples, DNA, and other stuff thats amazing. They have other crazy stuff to like alien related stuff. That sign with the chupacabra - Im very sure that there kept captivated in the area. They can't block off the area to secret government parts of the land so they warn the people not to go near the chupas.
I also agree with these laws: Don't have any contact with any aliens, do not have any contact with Bigfoot, and dont feed the chupas. Its for the publics safety and the government wants to keep it secret so they dont get the world into a nervous reck! Its for our own good.

Im 95% sure the government knows that there are aliens. They just dont like to admit it - I have no idea why. Most likely because they dont want the peope of the world to get scared of what might be coming to Earth.

Well - maybe the persons ho made these laws were aliens in disguise?
I doubt it myself, but there is a possibility.
Ehh...
Perhaps people made these rules just for fun?
They may have seen a person claiming that he has been interacting with extraterrestrials. Then they would might have said: "Hey! You! That's illegal! From This moment it is illegal to interact with an alien!"
Or maybe not.

This law is not real. It's an urban legend. It comes from an old real law, because when people first started investigating moon stones they thought alien virussen could be spread on the earth. I saw it on tv a day after i read this topic.

Ok guys, dont get all worked up over it. If it was a law, it wouldnt contradict anything the US said. The gov says that they dont know of any ETs... them making a law saying that you're not allowed to go near them if they do land doesnt at all mean that they were lying about not knowing of any ETs.
A lie is not obvious.

I'm pretty sure there are wacky laws all over the place.
Ok guys this post will most likely be very long. I am reading my "Ripleys Believe It or Not Special Edition 2004" book about laws. Writing all about it to you now.
In 17th-centry England, Oliver Cromwell banned pies, which he thought were an extravagance.
At one time in Wisconsis, it was illegal to serve apple pie without cheese.
And an old law in tennessee stated that anyone ordering a pie in a restaruant had better eat the whole thing right there.
At one time in Normal, Oklahoma, making an ugly face at a dog could get you arrested.
An old Minnesota law made it illegal for cats to chase dogs up telephone poles.
And at one time in Berea, Ohio, dogs and cats outside after dark had to wear taillights.
In Santa Ana, California, it's illegal to swim on dry land.
In West Virginia, sneezing on a train is forbidden, as is drinking milk on a train passing through North Carolina.
And whatever you do, dont step off a plane while its flying over Maine-you could be arrested!
In Hanford, California, kids can jump in mud puddles to their hearts content because its against the law for anyone to stop them!
Ripley FILE:
After a plague of fleas in 1670, the high court of Munster, Germany, summonded the insects to appear before it. Every flea but one disobeyed and were therefore banished for ten years.
In May 2001, a man was arrested in Paris, France, for trying to put out the "eternal flame" under the Arc de Triomphe by sitting on it. Before he could be put in jail, he had to be taken to the hospital to be treated for burns on his butt.
A man robbine a late-night convenience store in Florida found only $50 in the cash register. To boost his take, he locked the clercks in the freezer and waited on customers for three hours. Unfortunately for him, two of the regular customers he served were local policemen.
Police investigating a burglary decided to try the number of a pager that had been stolen. It went off in the pocket of a man standing nearby - who was being questiond about a completely different crime!
In 1997, a 61-year-old woman was waiting for her receipt at the drive-in window of a bank in New Mexico when police roared up and ordered her out of the car at gunpoint. It turned out her deposit slip had a holdup note on the back. The FBI discovered that a prankster had written the note and left the slip to be picked up by an unsuspecting customer.
In the late 1700s, a London thief picked the pocket of Judge John Silvester while being found not guilty of picking other pockets! He later confessed and returned the judge's watch.
Ripley FILE:
Among the many citizens of Pompeii who were petrified forever when volcanic mud spewed from Mount Vesuvius and buried them was a man defending his riches with a sword. Around his still-standing figure lay the petrified bodies of five would-be thieves.
At one time in South Foster, Rhode Island, if a dentist extracted the wrong tooth from a patient, he was ordered by law to have one of his own teeth extracted by the local blacksmith.
When a stolen parrot in New Delhi, India, was brought to court as a witness, it identified its real owner by repeating the names of her children.
In 1992, Judge Brown of Memphis, Tennessee,, allowed victims of robberies to take anything they wanted from the home of the thief who had robbed them! And that same year, a judge in Newark, New Jersey, sentenced a landlord to live in his own run-dwon apartment building.
Attorney Carl Haper of Bedias, Texas, had a secret weapon - a handkerchief filled with chopped onions! He many not have smelled very good, but he won most oif his cases because, more often that not, his flowing tear won the sympathy of the jury.
In ancient China, a suspect being questioned in court had to chew and spit out a handful of rice powder-if the powder stayed dry, the suspect was considered guilty.
Ripley FILE:
Jean de la Balue invented the "Iron Cage" - a torture chamber in which the prisoner could neither stand up nor stretch out-and was the first man imprisoned in it! He spent 11 years in his own cage.
Extra Fun Facts:
In Medieval England, it was illegal not to play hooky! Peasants were fined if they sent their children to school instead of making them work in the fields.
There was once a time in Alaska when you could be arrested if you stuck out your tongue at someone who caught a smaller fish than you did.

In Chicago, Illinois, its illegal to go fishing while wearing pajamas.
In Carmel, New York, a man can't go out wearing a jacket that doesnt match his pants.
And in Thailand, you can't leave the house without putting on your underwear.
Paule Viguier (1518 - 1610) of Touolouse, France, was so beatiful that the people rioted when she remained indoors for several days. The city adpoted a law requriing Viguier to appear on her balcony twice each day - which she did until her death at the age of ninety-two.
On the island of Jersey, England, its illegal for a man to knit during fishing season.
And in Fremont, California, repairing spacecraft in your garage is against the law.
Two Chicago thieves left behind a camera when they burgled a house. The owner had the film developed - and found that it contained a photo that one of the thieves had taken of the other.
The city of Porth Henry, New York, has passed a law forbidding anyone disturbing the sea creature that was believed to live in Lake Champlain.
Horses are not allowed in the town of Fountain Inn, South Carolina, unless they are wearing pants.
In 1807, Czar Alexander 1st of Russia ordered his troops to stop and check all carriages for men wearing long trousers. Any man found wearing them would have his legs cut off at the knee.
In Boston, Massachusetts, any pickle for sale must be able to bounce four inches when dropped from waist height.
In Detroit, Michigan, its illegal to tie your pet crocodile to a fire hydrant. You can't own a dog in Beijing, China, but you can rent one - at a rate of 23 cents for ten minutes.
In Wilbur, Washington, don't get caught riding an ugly horse because its against the law
Thankyou and I hope you have enjoyed these fun but wacky laws. Sources from: Ripley's Believe It or Not! Special Edition 2004.
