To the disappointment of conspiracy theorists and District 9 diehards though, #UFOSA appears to be part of an elaborate marketing campaign by Clover and FutureLife, to promote a new “on-the-go smart snack” called Smart Drink.

We’re yet to discover a “crash site” in the Mother City or Durban though, but the Memeburn team will keep its ears to the ground.
