So much for SETI
Does anyone remember SETI?
What’s more, does anyone remember that Windows screensaver that helped analyse signals from outer space in that desperate search for extra terrestrial life?
Millions were spent scanning the universe looking for those elusive signs of life. Rather strangely they were quick to deny any possibility that alien craft had been spotted and any sighting was dismissed, usually with the excuse that it was a weather balloon or somesuch.
Well, they found a weather balloon, or anyway a balloon whether it was weather or not. They shot it down.
Then a bunch of UFOs appear. They destroyed them.
They say the UFOs were “unmanned” but how did they know? Did they expect a little chap peering out of a cockpit window? Was it supposed to have a little glass bubble on top housing the pilot? How can anyone even guess at the technology of a species that can travel millions of light years [easy when you can control time and dimensions] in order to bring us peace and prosperity for all and a membership of the UN [United Nebulas]?
Maybe those UFOs contained an Intergalactic Ambassador and his retinue. Maybe they contained all the knowledge to advance civalisation to unimaginable delights and happiness. Maybe they contained the cure for the Common Cold and hangovers.
We’ll never know now.
Fucking Americans.
I did the SETI thing ages ago. Never found anything.
Nobody likes being spied on. The little buggers were hiding out in an underground hangar at Area51.
(I only know this because I have a friend whose cousin used to work there.)
Ease up a bit Grandad, we did you a favor. They were headed your way after all.
I am of the opinion that they were headed for the Peterson shop in order to fetch a few new pipes and tins for trade stock. Where they were bound after that I can’t even hazard a guess.
A quick trip down to Spain for taking in a bull fight is possible, but not likely.
They all seemed to be heading for the south Atlantic, unless they were about to turn left at the traffic lights in Florida?
Actually, I stopped paying attention about halfway through.
Mother turns up and blanks out northern hemisphere.Over to you Mr Biden.
Presumably Biden would be blanked too? But by the looks of him, he was blanked years ago….
Biden might have had his arse handed to him by a nation of goatherders, but see those balloons, he is going to show them that he won’t be intimidated by bunch of big balloons.
Seems that Trudeau had to ask Biden to shoot down the invaders over Canada.
He did ask, didn’t he? Not just AirBiden taking liberties when it comes to national borders?
Just an observation: the increasing hysteria and accompanying sabre rattling, the monging of wars: Ukraine – anyone notice that pipeline? CHINESE SPY BALLOONS – Taiwan next?
These are not a good look for anyone save Dr Strangelove and his friends V Newland and chums – sentient or Biden.
Me? Have shelter & supplies, plus the black bags into which we can crawl when Our Dear Government says we should (see R Briggs “When the wind blows” – so reassuring don’t you think…)
Don’t worry defense contractors have pledged to send billions of dollars to developed next generations anti balloon weapons. The leading design is a giant pin mounted on the front of the plane.
Mounted on the front of a suitably very, very, expensive plane, I’ll wager.
In other news Fred Smith of 27 Acacia Avenue has been reported missing. His wife said she last saw him on Saturday when he popped out saying he just wanted to check the propane heater and passenger basket of his balloon but he never came back for his tea.
Have you tasted his wife’s cooking?
