October 13 (tomorrow) and the aliens.
96 2010-10-12 by Blakwulf
So tomorrow's the 'tentative' date for the big UFO event. Who thinks this will actually happen? I seem to recall seeing this same thing suppose to happen every year for the last 2 or 3 years, and i don't see tomorrow being any different. Only different things i've taken note of this year are the changes at SETI, the UN appointing that ambassador, and the Vatican making their alien related announcements. Just what we need.. creationist aliens.
Any bets?

Actually studies seem to indicate that tin foil would actually amplify any radio waves being sent, thus creating the exact opposite of the intended effect. http://berkeley.intel-research.net/arahimi/helmet/

I will buy everyone breakfast burritos and whiskey shots to sweeten the deal. God knows i wouldn't want to be sober if it actually happens. Then again, i might get a day off work, soo....

Well, that citation doesn't have anything to do with establishing contact. Only more shiny objects in the sky.
my comment was
Criteria unfortunately not met. I'd love to be wrong about this, I really, really would.

oh you mean you thought they were gonna establish contact even though it specifically says no contact would be made in his prediction... ok, you're dumb then
1 tupidflorapope 2010-10-12
I'm dumb because of some whackjobs' "prediction" to sell a book didn't come to fruition? Some pictures of balloons in the sky were reported, but there was no specific "aliens" to speak of, or specific vessels, much less the contact. Message me when there is a real visit, not some BS balloons.

4 [deleted] 2010-10-12
There is nothing about a hoax, that's just bs. What the UN said was that they didn't appoint her as "Space Ambassador" and that the media just got carried away with her appointment to head of UNOOSA and a discussion they had about the PLAUSIBILITY of extraterrestrials.
2 Pfmohr2 2010-10-12
Exactly, there wasn't a hoax per se, just the media/conspiracy theorists taking something way beyond its original context.

If/when it all comes to "nought", with the various governments, the UN, the Vatican, NASA, etc., etc., etc., having given it so much credence, then what does that say about the position of all of these "organisations"?
Could it be that they are, all of them, about sowing the seeds of confusion and fear in all who would listen to their "PONTIFICATIONS"?
It's all another "con" (even if the aliens do seem so to "appear ... and, if they should actually and geuinely "appear", then there is yet another agenda at play -by the same pontificators/manipulators)!!!

Just a quick note to OP, the Vatican isn't as creationist as you think. They have repeatedly stated that evolution is consistent with the central tenets of their religion. You can bash the church on other issues, but arguably not this one. It might be theistic evolution, but it is a hell of a lot more reasonable than your typical creationist garbage. Wiki link.

So I watched a couple videos about an intergalactic gateway, or stargate, opening on 10/10/10 at 10:10:10. I think one of two things; either our calender is a couple days off with the universal rotation, or else it took whatever beings came through, be they corporeal or metaphysical, three days to remanifest. Either way, I'm kind of excited for it.

I am signing up for burritos and whiskey shots. Better make em doubles.

You know, I am always down for whiskey.
Additionally, I am always down for breakfast burritos.
The thought of the two together makes me want to die.
