BERLIN (Reuters) - German cabin crew union UFO said arbitration talks with Lufthansa ( LHAG.DE ) on Sunday had failed and its members could stage strikes any time from now on, though they would spare passengers industrial action on Dec. 24, 25 and 26.
In addition to a dispute over pay and pensions, UFO has been at odds with Lufthansa for months over the union’s legal status. Lufthansa has said the union’s leadership team that took office earlier this year was not elected in a way that met legal requirements.

Vrillon: the alien voice hoax that became a legend | The Independent
Forty years ago, a TV broadcast was taken over by what claimed to be an alien intelligence. The mystery has never been solved
If you're in your late forties or older, and grew up in the part of the country served by what was then the Southern Television (part of the independent TV network), you might well have witnessed a rather intriguing incident four decades ago.
On 26 November 1977, people were doing what they usually do at around 5pm on Saturday in the Seventies. There would have been an afternoon's sport, either on the terraces or on the telly, and the children would be waiting for the results service to finish while Mum checked the Pools so they could watch the Pink Panther, while the tea was being made in readiness for an evening's light entertainment on the TV.
