Aliens Are Stealing My Socks

Oh dear!  This is worse than I thought!  Last minute changes to correct this to the current state!

I have lots of pairs of socks and they are ALL exactly the same: mid-calf, white, grey bottomed gym socks.  So, you would think that sock matching would be no real problem.  Well, were it not for random visits by sock stealing Aliens!

I actively check my socks for tears, holes or wear, but I am pretty easy on my clothes.  So torn - go to the trash, holes - go to the trash, abrasions - go to the trash.  Easy!  It almost never happens until lately.

So, I put my socks in the washing machine and I get back holey, torn and abraded socks ... how is that even possible?  This does not happen to my tee shirts or underwear!

I bought some new super soft socks for my bad foot on Friday.  Tossed them into the washer with some tee shirts and of six pair tossed in - only one sock came back out!  The missing 11 socks are not in the washer, not in the dryer, not on the floor, stuck on the tee shirts, nor in the tee shirts either!  Mystery fills the air!  How is this possible in a logical world?  It just can't be.  Youngest Daughter swears she knows nothing about this!

So, we must be looking at something illogical, something therefore either a part of the spiritual world or something else.

Were those sock made out of spun sugar and dissolved in the warm waters? 
Nah!
Sasquatch needing new socks after hiking all this way from the Okanogan forest fires?
Maybe.
Could it be the North Carolina Lizard Man on a tour of the northwest?
 Nah!
Ghosts of javalinas past, hunted and dined on in my dreams?
Hmmmmmm :)
No, something more logical, more towards reality: Aliens. 
Of course!

UFO's have been long a part of local lore.  The first sighting of a UFO in modern times  (outside of Foo Fighters during WWII)  was only a mile to the west of my washing machine.  We have an annual UFO celebration even!  Yes, it is either Aliens or Men in Black sneaking around my washing machine and stealing my nice warm new socks from the dryer!

There can be no other explanation I can think of!

I might leave some ex-lax brownies out, next to my replacement socks tomorrow ... we will just see whom is responsible for this! :)

Could be a long ride back to Saturn .......
