LoanPros.com, Huntington Beach, Calif., is offering a $1 million prize to the first person who can bring in a certified extraterrestrial being to apply for a home loan.The company said the idea was inspired by an ABC News documentary, "The UFO Phenomenon -- Seeing Is Believing," broadcast on Feb. 25. "We believe the existence of extraterrestrials is real and we want to do whatever we can to promote government disclosure -- but it's also a good promotional idea," said Wayne R. Goldman, president of LoanPros.com. "The prize is real and we will stand behind it." Among the criteria that would have to be satisfied is that the extraterrestrial must be able to sign its name on the loan documents, Mr. Goldman said.
