Okay, I'm switching sides; I finally believe in aliens. That's literally the only explanation here.

Flippin' 200-foot radio tower goes missing.

How does that happen without aliens?

A landscaping crew went out to do some work on WJLX's property on Friday, make sure the tower had a good base, only to find out that the tower was just ... gone. Completely gone. There were wires everywhere, but the tower, which was used for WJLX's AM station, had vanished.

'I have tried all weekend to figure it out, and I just can't,' [WJLX station general manager Brett] Elmore told the TV station.

'I have been in the radio business, around it all my life and then in it professionally for 26 years, and I can say I have never heard of anything like this,' he added. 'I can say I've seen it all now.'

Elmore took to Facebook before word could get out and rumors begin to circulate (you know, ones about aliens).

I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this. Like, is someone cashing in on the metal for this thing? How are they hiding it? Is it in another dimension we've never heard of being guarded by aliens right there in Jasper, Alabama? This is so puzzling.

Here's the tower building:

By the way, whoever did this could face up to 10 years in prison, so it's kind of a big deal and it better have been worth it. It's a federal crime to tamper with a federally-licensed facility, as Mr. Elmore notes above.

And if it was aliens, well, apparently they don't like oldies music, because that's what they just took from us!

WJLX was able to get approval from the FCC to send their signal out "by other means," so listeners will still be able to pick up those great oldies.
