My theory is to make sure an upstart civilization doesn't "borg" them by surprise. Recall that Star Trek's Kirk was a borg in his own right, constantly shoving the Federation's values down the throats of civilizations he didn't approve of.

Were I an alien, I'd post a sentinel in the star systems of all infant civilizations, with a finger on the trigger, ready to terminate if it turned into an interstellar busybody.

As I said, if they are coming in peace then they should not be shielding themselves from us. If these aliens are really coming to Earth and we have not seen them YET then we need to call in the alien fighters like Will Smith and Sigourney Weaver or possibly get Tom Cruise and find out what kills off the aliens in the movie he plays in,
maybe Starship Troopers if they are big bugs!!!

Uh, it's going to turn sideways, so it's narrower.. yeah.. that's it!

And of course they have to go to Alabama... that's where the good probe subjects are located!

Hehe, I missed that line before. So will these aliens be scorpios or leos or what? I never could figure out how to read those charts, and never realized they could foretell the coming of aliens based on the size of their ship.

Now astronomers, OTOH, might not see them coming, no matter how good a telescope they have. Earth could easily be destroyed tomorrow by a big asteroid coming in from interstellar space at high speed, because such rocks are going to be dark and the likelihood that we'll be looking in the right direction at the right time is pretty small. The best we can do is predict the movement of rocks in "ordinary" orbits such as those that travel along with the Earth in its trip around Sol.

So even a pretty big spaceship could sneak right up on us unless an astronomer got lucky and looked the right way.

Re: Aliens!!

Get the mad scientist from the new show Fringe to figure out what kills them.

*shudders* He'll still probably want a few rednecks to experiment on.

Re: Aliens!!

Apparently we are all still here??? I hope. I know the 14th isn't over yet, bet that Blossom Goodchild or whatever their name is has to be really disappointed by now. By the sound of the name I think they should take another hit of the LSD and have another good trip and let us know exactly when the Earth will be destroyed by these peace loving aliens in their 2,000 mile wide spacecraft that is supposed to center over Alabama.
From the different sites that talk about these aliens in such detail I am guessing Blossom has had quite a few good trips to get such great detail on them. Maybe poor Blossom has been abducted from these aliens before to have such a great knowledge of them.

If it does happen, Chicago is going to die first. The average citizen here can't own (and doesn't own) any firearms. The gangs are too undertrained so they won't last in a firefight. The police would be in a upheaval and super slow in responding.

And 2000 miles? Come on, this isn't Independence Day.
But Chicago Police have... HORSES...
