I've seen UFOtards reference The Weekly World News without having a clue that it was basically not just a tabloid, but an admittedly fictional newspaper that was mostly useful for getting an easy writing credit for writing the most absurd news story you could possibly submit.

This is the 50s equivalent of "Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby" or "Man Fries Eggs On His Bald Head".

The Weekly World News was such a guilty pleasure of mine. I still miss it dearly.
