In the past year or so, recent months especially, one of two things have been happening. Either I'm just going a bit looney, or we are being slightly prepared for a huge change in the way we see life. It seems like everywhere I turn, everywhere I look I see references to alien life and/or life outside earth. Now I don't mean I'm having dreams or visions of little green men, but if you pay attention to the media around us (tv, papers, magazines, and the internet) you'll notice there has been a vast increase of talks about Alien, UFOs, other planets with life, ect. And now as said in Neopills's thread, even the Vatican says "its ok to believe in aliens" and for those of you who don't know, the catholic church is one secretive and powerful organization, make no mistake about that.
To the point, I think all this is a way to soften the blow so to speak, when the real news comes.
