I was listening to Coast to Coast AM last night, and someone brought up a "mass sighting" of a UFO tomorrow. I researched it and found this report about the story.

Supposedly, an alien craft will "willingly make itself known" on October 14, 2008. The only clue about when or where this mass sighting will take place was the word, "ALABAMA".

Well, what do you think? True? Hoax? A crazy woman who just wants attention?

My grandfather has told me a story from back when he was in the army of a huge green "fireball" flying across the sky from east to west at fantastic speeds. Many thousands of others have also supported his claim. This sighting has also never been discredited.


It was probably St. Elmo's Fire. It's just a bunch of static electricity.

I have but one thing to say...
Tomorrow never comes.
Words of wisdom. Aliens have to come today, and they didn't so we're safe now.

Both me and my grandfather have seen this natural phenomenon. I have three reasons why this wasn't St. Elmo's Fire.

1) I don't think there has ever been lime green St. Elmo's Fire.
2) St. Elmo's Fire is a small phenomenon. This "fireball" was huge.
3) This "fireball" flew completely across the sky, from horizon to horizon. I's like to see St. Elmo's Fire like that...

Straight from Wikipedia

St. Elmo's fire is an electrical weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a coronal discharge originating from a grounded object in an atmospheric electric field (such as those generated by thunderstorms or thunderstorms created by a volcanic explosion).

St. Elmo's fire is named after St. Erasmus of Formiae (also called St. Elmo), the patron saint of sailors. The phenomenon sometimes appeared on ships at sea during thunderstorms, and was regarded by sailors with superstitious awe, accounting for the name. Alternatively, Peter Gonzalez is said to be the St. Elmo after whom St. Elmo's fire has its name.

Ball lightning is often erroneously identified as St. Elmo's fire. They are separate and distinct meteorological phenomena.


OH no! ZOMG THE ALIENS MADE UP ThAT SCIENTIFIC LAWS SO IT ONLY SEEMED TO BE LIKE THAT!
OR DID THEY CONTROL THE BRAINS OF ThAT WHO THOUGHT OF THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION? OR DID THEY WRITE IT THEMSELVES =O

Zomg zomg!

Well, you guys still didn't support or refute my points...

You just told me the definition of something I already know...

Please answer my post and stop dancing around the point...

the point is: It's most likely a hoax.

But you didn't tell me any reason WHY it's a hoax. If you can answer that sufficiently, I'd give your argument credit.

well I like to stay open minded about everything,unless that thing has been completely discredited,unless it goes against something else I believe in.I really would like to see how this unfolds.While I have my doubts about this,I still am not going to go as far as to say there is no way it will happen,b/c you just never really know for sure about anything in life.Again I will just watch for now.Also its odd that she would throw out the name Alabama,when she lives on the other side of the world.Anyway so how about an interesting debate.If this actually happened then what would you do then?

I actually don't know...

Many of these people who say that a UFO sighting will take place on such-and-such date are crazy, but we have no reason to discredit this claim just on that premise alone...

Again, I would need more information before I determine if this is a hoax or the real thing.

All I can say is that talking means nothing. You just have to wait to see. I would love to the see the look on the skeptics face if it did show up haha =P

Either way, I just hope this isn't going to be another Heaven's Gate hale-bopp comet suicide fest type fiasco.

my big reason for not believing it is that I don't see any evidence whatsoever other than you saying that you heard on the radio that this one guy said that it was gonna happen. at least give me a news article or something. I actually don't even think you're telling the truth about it.

Why is it a hoax?

Its simply has no evidence for it and I see it likely that someone makes such a prank.
I would!

There being no reason for it, is reason against it.

There probably have been billions of these things, btw.

I beleive this women simply saw another U.S designed generation 5 Fighter ,or possibly a scram-jet, that the government does not want the public to know about. This women was probably makeing the rest of it up.
This has happened many times before whne the B-2 Stealth bomber and the F-117 were still being tested in the air. On their maden flights, they were described as "Space aged" by those who saw them.
