Goodfellow Rebecca Ingrams Pearson of a British insurance company wrote a $160,000-equivalent policy covering alien abduction. This includes pregnancies resulting from the abduction, even if it is a male who gets pregnant, in the event that the aliens have such extraordinary powers that they can impregnate males.  

 

 

 

Also, sponsors of the Visit Scotland Adventure Triathlon in Loch Ness announced they had purchased insurance from the company NIG to pay up to the equivalent of $1.8 million in case any of the competitors are attacked by the Loch Ness monster.
