You know who you are right? You know what foods you like to eat, and food that you don't like. You know what kind of movies you like to watch, and music you like to listen too. You know who your parents and friends are. You know that 2+2=4. You know that we live on the plant Earth. You know lots of things right? What about the things you don't know though? Have you ever thought about them?
I was watching Television one night, in my room after a long day at work. I was watching "Shrek" on TBS. When all of a sudden it happened. "BREAKING NEWS!" The news channel interrupted what I was watching. They told me the unthinkable. Sure people might have thought this was very possible, but most people thought that it was impossible, that there was no such thing. All I found out after that night that I was certain of, and after the course of the next year was one thing, that we were all wrong on what we thought.
On that night in my room I never thought that there would be another planet out there in the universe that would hold humans just like us. NASA told us that the, Hubble Space Telescope, had found another planet in our solar system. This wasn't just another rock floating in the sky though. It was another planet that sustained life. This planet had humans that looked, talked, and acted like us. Except they were 100 years more advanced than us.
Apparently from what the NASA experts have found out is that, is that this recently discovered planet has known of our existence also for over 200 years. They have been spending that time to find a way to get here and take over our planet. This is what we believe though, not something we know. What we know is that there are other human beings out there. For years we thought that this was just a myth that aliens existed, but now we know that there are other forms of life out there in the universe.
NASA said they are working on getting some sort of probe out into space heading towards this planet, which they have named, Planet Life. What NASA says they want to do, is to find out more about this planet, and about the people on it. This is all NASA told the American public on that fateful night.
That night I could not and would not fall asleep again for a whole month. I was a journalist, and this was one of the biggest stories ever. Bigger than the Casey Anthony case. Bigger than Micheal Jackson or Steve Jobs dying. So, the second the television broadcast was off, I got up out of bed, pulled some of my gray sweatpants on and got to work. I booted up my iMac, and opened up Pages on my MacBook Air and started writing the first thoughts that came into my head:
What if the world as we know it is only a puppet show? What if the world we live in is controlled by this new world? What if all the UFO's that we have seen throughout our existence were these aliens checking up on us? What if they come and destroy our world? What if they come to enslave us now that we know about them? How do we know the truth? How will we ever discover more about them, when we have only gotten a man to the moon? These are all questions you should be asking yourselves now that we know, that we aren't the only ones out here in the universe!
What were you doing when you found out? I was sitting in bed watching an old classic movie, "Shrek". Weird because now that is what everyone is going to be talking about. This is all we are going to hear about for the next month or so. This is a serious matter though. What if these people (aliens) on this other planet have the means to destroy us. Shouldn't NASA's first priority be to make some contact with these people? What do you think as a citizen of the planet Earth?
Getting about one million hits a day on my site, should probably increase now with the fact that people are going to want to know more about this. It only took five minutes for my site to get one million hits with about ten-thousand comments on that post. That is when is happened though. That is when the Battle (or war as some people would come to call it over the year) for Earth began.
