The internet is abuzz with chatter about Google’s new logo. Google is known for regularly featuring altered logos on days to celebrate things such as holidays and meteor showers. Usually if one hovers their mouse over the changed logo, text will appear explaining what the meaning is. With this new logo gone is the explanatory text. Instead, all that people are left with is a flying saucer hovering over the Google logo, which seems to be pulling the second “o” up. Clicking on the logo brings you to a Google search results page featuring results for “unexplained phenomenon.”
Theories abound about why Google has put up the mysterious logo abound. Some of them include:
- Google is drawing in awareness to launch a new site
- It is attached to a marketing campaign for the new movie District 9
- Google’s dominance in the search engine market is attributed to their alliance with aliens and alien technology, and now they are coming out about it
- Online searches for paranormal phenomenon has been up recently, and this is Google’s way of capitalizing on the increased interest
- Star Trek’s debut was September 8, 1966
The only other clue Google has given about the mysterious logo is a recent tweet on Twitter. The series of numbers in the tweet translate into the cryptic sentence “All your O are belong to us.”
Google has released an official statement on the matter:
"We consider the second 'o' critical to user recognition of our brand and pronunciation of our name. We are actively looking into the mysterious tweet that has appeared on the Google twitter stream and the disappearance of the 'o' on the Google homepage. We hope to have an update in the coming weeks."

I am 60 years old and disabled and living in Hawaii with nothing but free time on my hands. I was cut off my disability, because of stuff my ex-wife pulled but am in the process of trying to get reinstated. I would love to be a UFO Examiner and if it pays a salary and expenses, I am all about it as I have been following UFO/Paranormal phenomena for nearly 40 years. To put it bluntly, you need me on your team. I am also an experienced transcriptionist and would love to work with you. I patiently await your job offer. Thanks - J.M.

I'm going to go out on a limb, and jump since I'm a bit mentally challanged ...I say a UFO stole that O from go_gle and placed it in a Chr"O"me building. This is where 2012 and Nibula came and B.Obama turned into the Antichrist on 9/9/09 turned upside down = 666 ...hahahA.... That UFO took the O and placed it in Google "CHROME" ...get it ...get it? ....
