Were the swarm of seagulls you encountered at the beach last summer actually intergalactic double agents? It's a laughing matter, but according to a former member of the British Ministry of Defence, seagull double-dealing is a possibility.

A UFO expert gives his opinion
Nick Pope is a ufologist, just like you'd see on a TV series. On his Twitter account, he points out that the media often see him as a kind of Fox Mulder (the main character in X-Files, for those who don't get the reference).
But you won't come across him wearing a tinfoil hat, spouting conspiracy theories: this Brit really did work for the government, and his job was to investigate UFO reports. While his department never made the connection between a UFO sighting and the presence of extraterrestrials on our planet, he did make a rather interesting remark about their potential allies, during an interview with the Mirror.
Seagulls would be the perfect disguise
Nick Pope explains:
If aliens want to parasitize and control a living organism, or build a drone that would be a perfect copy of an existing organism, it would be better for them to choose something ordinary and present everywhere, like a seagull or a fly.
True, spies taking the form of an object or species with which a planet's dominant species (i.e. us) interacts a lot could arouse suspicion. Designing drones that look banal and harmless would be a good way to obtain images and information about Earth with impunity.
Assuming that the existence of extraterrestrials is probable, and that other civilizations are more advanced than we are (well, that's a lot), Nick Pope's statement isn't all that fanciful. He takes as an example the futuristic weapons and vehicles developed by the army, which remained secret for years before being unveiled. The expert concludes:
The military and intelligence agencies have things that look like they came out of a science fiction movie or a James Bond film. There are Qs in real life, that's for sure, so imagine what an alien Q could do!
Will you think twice before taking off your swimsuit in front of a laughing seagull?
