Flying Dear? Or UFO Attacks Deer?

This was sent to me in my e-mail so I apologise for the lack of a link here but I plan on looking for a link related to this story. The fact is if this is true this is a very strange incident.

Here is the story that I got sent.

Service call of the month from a Baltimore Gas & Electric residential

customer:
"My power is out. When you come to fix it, be sure to bring a truck with a
tall enough bucket to remove the deer."

The customer service rep prudently trying to gather helpful information to
help diagnose the problem asked, "What deer?"

The customer replied, "There's a deer on top of one of the electric poles

on Wilkes Road near Perimeter Road."

The service rep, trying desperately to pull herself together and not laugh
at the customer, said, "We'll dispatch someone right away to investigate
the power outage. Thank you for the call."

Upon completion of the call, the customer service rep proceeded to share
the funny story with her coworkers in the office; and they all had a good
laugh.

Well, lo and behold, the serviceman who repaired the problem stopped by
the customer service office the following day with these pictures.
Sure enough, the deer had been hit by a train & landed on top of a distribution feeder pole!

here are the pictures.

what evidence points to a UFO putting the deer on the power lines? the story seems fine to me. it could happen. although with it landing on the power lines is obviously one of those one in a million chances.

oh and you might want to fix the title. it confused me a lot at first. (you have deer spelt as "dear") it's not a big deal. just a typo i'm sure, but i just thought i'd point that out anyway

maybe he pissed santa off..

Free venison. You don't even have to hunt for it...I've seen this before, pretty strange, I agree.

Hi,
A train hit the deer and the deer landed there. It must of hit it with the deer in stride(chopped hooves). Anyway, that is a theory I read about that pic.

I think it was a botched alien abduction.
Bambi was picked up by a space ship whose
tractor beam was malfunctioning.
I wonder if their were any organs missing?
Back in june I posted another related find
in a new jersey park.
Seems they found a body 60 ft up in a tree
near where a headless body was found
months earlier.
Sometimes they they take their heads,
somtimes they just let em drop

I think the train theory is probably the most likely.

Wow. Second thread I've had to redirect to www.snopes.com (Urban Legend Verification Page) today.
