And Phil Hoyle, of the APFU, says the curious lack of blood or footprints at the scene - despite the surgical removal of large amounts of tissue - means extraterrestrials can't be ruled out as the cause of the attacks.
These marauders, or pirates, came from Scandinavia--what is now Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The people who lived there were Norsemen, or Northmen. Those Norsemen who took part in these swift, cruel raids along the coast were called Vikings. The Vikings came to be the most feared raiders of their time and were the only Norsemen with whom most Europeans came in contact. Their name was given to the era that dated from about AD 740 to about 1050--the Viking Age.
