ALIENS WILL LAND HERE TOMORROW
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/54515/Aliens-will-land-here-tomorrow/

"Aliens are set to land on Earth tomorrow to prove to humans that there really is life out there.

Extra-terrestrials will make a grand entrance to our planet by flying across our skies in a space craft that will be
visible for three days, experts said.

The internet was buzzing with claims that the strange alien aircraft could even land after it appears over the American desert.

So many people reckon the rumour is true, bookies have stopped taking bets on the UFO prediction after an unprecedented rush.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: “This is the first time that an internet phenomenon has affected our business.”

American psychic Blossom Goodchild sparked the frenzy after claiming aliens informed her of their plans."

3. Even better. Apparently it will land in Alabama.
Or something.

We wish it to be understood that on the 14th day of your month of October in the year 2008 a craft of great size shall be visible within your skies. It shall be in the south of your hemisphere and it shall scan over many of your states.

We give to you the name of Alabama.

http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=29213


But wait, you say to your self, "Self, Since when did Alabama migrate to the Southern hemisphere?" Well, you see, there's a simple explanation. Or not.

A note from Blossom.

I am aware that Alabama is NOT in the Southern Hemisphere. I queried this to the Federation and was told . `In days of old, it used to be'. If anyone can find information on this, I would be most grateful if you could contact me via my website.

It has also been suggested that `Alabama' maybe the name of a craft. On researching it appears that Alabama has a NASA space centre.
:rofl:

I can't believe all of these idiots are serious, there has to be some skeptic infiltrators increasing the ridicule factor.

7. Not so much
Central NYS is dead, and it has been for some time. At least FWA is large enough, and in the middle of the mid-Western transportation corridor, with a couple of decent schools (IPFW and Indiana Tech) that it still has a good deal of life left in it (and jobs). I love our public library system (one of the best in the country), and there is a small, but dedicated, cadre of lefty types in the city. Also, despite being so god-soaked, because the lefty types here, especially the Democrats, trend more toward the center than elsewhere, you generally don't find too many people buying into the kinds of extreme woo like we're talking about in this thread. Sure, there's the nutjob conspiracy theorists, but they're everywhere and most people to some degree or another buy into at least one conspiracy theory. So no, I don't miss NY that much. Besides, C and our dog, aren't there.

8. Living in a red state is almost tolerable when you're not alone.
M is from Colorado and some day we may move there, Vermont is horribly expensive, but it's also a possibility.

You may just have a Congressman who actually supports separation of church and state.

Hopefully I'll have my interview with Col. Bidlack posted later on today. I'll either update this post or reply to it when it's done.


Oh, and for what it's worth, that's the problem with New York State too. All the decent places (unless you like living in the middle of nowhere) to live are also the most expensive.

12. actually
it says "the south of your hemisphere" which would mean the southern part of the northern hemisphere (assuming they're speaking to americans or europeans). Of course, alabama still wouldn't count, but it would make it closer.

23. True, but it seems Blossom Goodchild really does mean Southern Hemisphere
At least if her blog is to be believed...
Updates on Southern Hemisphere Condition

So far, word is that in Australia, black outs are transpiring south of Adelaide.

Many zig zag cloud-like patterns have been occuring across the New Zealand area on Google Earth. Here is an image below:



So far, some people are claiming to see strange patterns in the sky. But nothing has been officially confirmed yet. All I can say is guys, visual representation works way better than commenting. If you see something, please capture it. Your material will be looked at thoroughly before it is posted here. Let's keep out the fake stuff and stay on course with genuine material.
http://10-14-08.blogspot.com/2008/10/word-that-light-ship-has-appeared-in.html


Oh, and I see there's a forum for those who want to lend emotional support in this time of wonder.
http://federationoflightcommunity.lefora.com/forum

I suggest starting in the Federation of Light Lounge.

15. (British) Daily Star says she's American, she sound English,
and her blog claims she's an Australian actress (who doesn't turn up under that name on IMDB), so you have to wonder if everyone is trying to blame everyone else for her existence.

I've got to say I'm impressed that she's managed to change a run-of-the-mill prediction of UFOs coming to save the world into a major bit of publicity for herself. What did she do that got the woo-woos excited?

18. Her "spirit energy," White Cloud,
is a native American. Maybe that's why the Daily Star says she's American. Every source I've found says Goodchild is Australian.

From Blossom Goodchild's website:

Blossom and White Cloud are now embarking on a journey to spread the message of Love, Light and Laughter and are in the process of arranging workshop events across the Sunshine Coast, followed by the rest of Australia and then …. To infinity and beyond!!!

Blossom has grown to love White Cloud as a friend and colleague, as have the souls who have taken the time to listen to him speak. He has so much love, compassion, wisdom and truth to share and you too could feel the honor of being part of his world.

If you would like to receive free messages of unconditional love and wisdom from White Cloud and be kept updated on forthcoming books, cd’s and events please leave your email address in the box located on the side menu.

Wishing you Golden Rays and Love, Light and Laughter always.
http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/index.html?page=BGWelcome.html

I'm glad she has dispelled the ugly rumor that she vowed to kill herself if the spaceship doesn't show up. :eyes: (source: Federation of Light in the left sidebar, then October 14 2008)

How can anyone believe in this tripe? :mad:

I suppose that when the spaceships don't show up, Goodchild will say the aliens were dismayed by the disbelief of skeptics and said to hell with it.

Seriously, like the haunted sock on ebay, how the fuck could they prove you didn't calibrate their truth?

And if it makes you money and them feel better, it's a win/win all around.

33. I know. Isn't it sad?
I wonder how much money Blossom rakes in every year from her crazed lectures?

I swar I'm going to get some 3/4" wood doweling from the hardware store, hack it into 12" long pieces and sell it as 100% Natural Rods of Truth (energized by tree spirits). I figure I should be able to get about $35 each plus shipping. If I glue a piece of quartz on the end so each rod of truth can be grounded by earth spirits I bet I could get $75 each.

32. OK, it's after midnight now
I was just outside and didn't see anything. I figure I should be able to see a 2,000 mile long spacecraft here in NE Indiana even if it is centered over Hunstville.

Oh, wait. WTF is this? There's a gawdamn golden tree of light too?
http://www.treeofthegoldenlight.com

Is everything fucking luminous tonight? And it's saying stuff remarkably similar to Blossom Goodchild, except the shining ficus is less precise on the date.

THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT “FIRST CONTACT”

First Contact is an operation that began in 1990 as a simple directive from the Sirian Regional Council; its scope was expanded when the Main Federation Council approved this action in 1991.

‘First Contact’ will start when a special series of major announcements are made by the world’s major governments, which will be almost simultaneous. They will announce that E.T’s are here and benevolent, and will acknowledge the part the Galactic Federation has played, in assuring the new reality manifests according to the divine plan. Once the series of formal announcements and the global delivery of your abundance are complete, we will begin our own proceedings. ...


Excerpt, apparently, Blossom and TP the wonder spirit are five years too early. Or were years somehow counted differently in Butt Wipe's time?

In the year 2013, it is your destiny to join the Lion Beings of Sirius ‘A’ and the human galactic societies of Sirius ‘B’ and ’C’. In a short time, Mars will bloom once more, Venus; land of abundant oceans will teem with life. Maldek will re-emerge, and the innermost planet astronomers have named Vulcan. The Moon will become your new near-Earth ‘Space Station’. You will become as familiar with Mars as you are now with your precious Mother Earth.

36. She's certainly spreading laughter
It's interesting that so many "spirit guides" are native American. Seems to me this shows a lack of imagination on the part of the psychics: they have all of space and time to choose from, and all they can think of is that old cliche? In fact, being dead ought to be a great leveller, spirituality-wise, so why do you never hear of spirit guides who used to be boring 20th century caucasians? "According to my spirit guide, Frank, a former bus driver from Akron Ohio..."

40. No sightings from the Original Landing Zone.
I've been all over this here in Egypt, spending at least 50 milliseconds eagerly scanning the skies to the southeast (i.e., over Cairo).

None of the Giza Pyramids have levitated. No reported alien footprints on the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. The Bent Pyramid didn't straighten out and the Red Pyramid didn't turn grey in honor of its Returning Alien Overlords.

Fartblossom's prediction did remind me of an ancient Egyptian saying, still in use. It perfectly expresses the likelihood of her predictions coming true:

Like trying to make the Sphinx dance...

They will attempt to communicate via the medium of water. It's a bit like Morse code, but just a little more complicated. But please listen to them - if you don't it will be your fault that the Earth Is Doomed.
