    What the hell did I just read?


    Literally, about once a year I summon up the patience to read a Daily Mail article. There's a reason it is so well known for being the dailyfail.


    On a side note it'd be great if Britain was coming last in the relay and a spaceship beamed up every other country.

    Well the MoD took the potential threat seriously enough to set up a whole department that dealt with reported UFO encounters and he isn't the first former member of that now allegedly defunct department to raise concerns.

    It's not completely untrue that it is hypothetically possible that the launch of nuclear weapons could have alerted another civilization that was roughly as advanced as we are now to our position however that would be limited to pretty much our solar system so the chances are slim.

    This is sensationalism though and we don't need to "prepare" as that would be pointless since we have no idea what we would be up against but if as a planet we should be keeping an eye out i would say yes, think the UN already have a department set up to deal with the potential meeting of new species so we should get ready for the inevitable time when they screw that up and we are at war.

    UFO expert Nick Pope says massive summer events like the Olympics would be a prime time for an alien encounter.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am ridiculously excited about the possibility of watching Usain Bolt being chased around the stadium by a seven foot alien :cookie:

    This article just sums up why the Daily Mail is an absolute joke. I saw nothing but fear-mongering, asinine nonsense.

    What worries me more is the top rated reader comment:

    'Open your eyes people, denial is exactly the reaction they want you to have.'

    Please tell me there is some hidden joke that I've missed in that, and the +91 rating on the comment isn't actually readers agreeing with this conspiracy theorist.

    I would hope the MOD has considered everything from a terrorist Mumbai style attack to an invasion of intelligent dolphins. The ability of our security services to see every angle is what is going to keep us safe.

    I'm more worried about this comment:

    "just look up project bluebeam, the elites have been working on holograms,projected in the sky to scare everyone into accepting a one world government and religion, so don't be suprised if you see something in the sky during the olympics. just don't fall for it and fight against the evil elites,royalty and vatican.

    There's more likely hood that any 'alien' invasion would be a staged one, and that much of the ufo sightings and coverage since the 40's has been drip fed into society to make people believe that there's a possibility.
    However, an actually alien contact is one of the things I would most like to experience before I die.

    I wonder whether said 'UFO expert' would like to tell us where these aliens will be coming from?

    LIES! The reptilians are feeding you these rumours so you'll be blind to the danger below our feet. The Queen, the president of the USA (all of them), Murdoch,tesla, Einstein, ALL of them were just masquerading in human skin. They want us looking up rather than looking for the danger here.

    Don't believe everything you hear. The reptilians control everything.
