No aliens in Alabama because they're hanging out in Peru?

alien with Will Smith
  Ewww...Will  Smith & un-cute alien

To no one's surprise, the mega UFO spacecraft predicted by now-disappearing pseudo-psychic Blossom Goodchild didn't show up in Alabama on October 14. As I reported yesterday, it's not the first time that aliens have come looking for new  jobs in the space program at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.

College on the Record blogger Samantha Beerman had  cleverly called for a free day off from classes at Auburn University and the University of Alabama on alien arrival day,  Well shucks, that one didn't fly.

Over at the brand spankin' new website 10-14-08 Fraud website, bloggers are taking on the Goodchild story: "This site was created because i think it's wrong for people to cash-in on gullible people, especially those that believe a "giant lightship 2000 miles across will appear in the sky."  Right on.

But over at 10-14-08, they've decided to explain it all with more communications from ...well...whatever:

Dearest Blossom. All that we choose to say to you is to let go of your fears. We WILL do as we say and before the 15th Oct has come to pass in all corners of your globe this event shall have come to fruition for all to glory in. We shall surprise many in how this all comes about. We say this to you people of earth who are in anticipation of the greatest vibration …

So it is not the end of the 14th that we need to wait for it to pass at all corners of the globe, it is actually the 15th of October that we must wait for.

And what does Blossom herself have to say? Who knows? Her blog site has been locked down, open only to those who are approved to view it.

Hey, maybe it's just that we've all been visited by the Men in Black, and have been flashed into forgetting a huge, alien spacecraft doing the tourist thing in Alabama. Given all the flashing that would take, there'd be an immediate drain on batteries to power the "forget about it" devices.

It's not that UFOs aren't worth looking into--but in an analytical, scientific way. When people learn that I've worked for NASA, one of their first questions is always: "Isn't it true that there really are aliens/UFOs and NASA is covering it up?"

No, NASA's not covering up proof of aliens or UFOs --not as far as I know!! Given how cumbersome a government bureaucracy is, the idea that someone organized a successful conspiracy involving hundreds of people across the country and in space is well-- a UFO in itself.

Just in case you're disappointed at not having a UFO show up to stage a light and music show of "Sweet Home Alabama," I thought I'd bring you the video of what's purported to be a UFO over Peru. And gee, it just happens to show up as a rock band that's promoting itself performs.
