I thought staying away from the cigar-shaped ones was Charlie Lutes's line. I've heard several versions of this story. In one of them, a CP had been doing yoga on his balcony at dawn and saw a UFO hovering over the lake (this was in Switzerland; Lake Lucerne?), with a sort of hose or tube extended down into the water. As this guy watched, MMY came out of the hotel alone, walked to the lake, and stood silently in front of the UFO for several minutes as if communing with it, then turned around and went back to the hotel. Asked about this later, MMY said UFOs were the "vacuum cleaners of the universe." Presumably this was to explain the hose... I prefer Rick's story about MMY's asking how many had been up early and looked out their window, then chuckling and changing the subject.
