Anonymous Claims NASA is About to Declare They've Found Alien Life

SourceAccording to statements made by hacktivist group Anonymous, the US space agency NASA, will soon announce the discovery of intelligent alien life. “NASA says aliens are arriving,” the group wrote on its website. “It is very likely that many other planets throughout the universe harbor intelligent life long before Earth.”

The group’s suggestion is based on a series of recent NASA findings, along with comments made by one of the agency’s spokespersons during a congressional hearing in April entitled Progress in the Search for Life.

Professor Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters in Washington, recalled at the hearing the recent advances of the space agency, such as the discovery of hydrogen in Enceladus, one of the moons of Saturn, and the results of the observation of the oceans of the moon Europa of Jupiter. “These discoveries present the potential of life … we are on the verge of making one of the most profound, unprecedented, discoveries in history,” said Zurbuchen during the hearing of the committee on American Science, Space and Technology.

Well if this isn’t the most painfully disappointing emotional nurple I could’ve received today, I don’t know what is. I wake up to news that Anonymous is claiming NASA’s about to admit they’ve found alien life and I just assumed they’d hacked into the ultra top secret government database. I expected some real top notch Fox Mulder/The Lone Gunmen intrigue, cutting through the layers of government secrecy for the rest of us.

Instead we get … what exactly? Some congressional testimony? Hydrogen on a moon of Saturn? We know this stuff already. I’m looking for the lid getting blown off a vast government conspiracy and instead I get stuff that’s already been on Drudge. What a kick in the balls.

But looking at it big picture, this is for the best. If When extraterrestrial life is found, it’s going to me the single most monumental event in human history and completely reshape the way we view our existence. I don’t that coming from a hacktivist group. Or like when Clinton told Monica Lewinsky they found fossil evidence on a Martian meteorite so she’d take a facial. I want a moment this big to have the dramatic impact it deserves. I want Klaatu stepping out of the saucer in broad daylight. Or the mothership appearing behind the Devil’s Tower with a million cameras rolling. A friendly race of logical super beings introducing themselves to the guy who invented Warp Drive as he listens to Steppenwolf. Trump, Putin and whoever is running the U.N. standing on the White House lawn with our new alien ambassador like on all those Weekly World News covers. Maybe a message saying they’ve seen our TV signals broadcast out into space and saying our Miss Universes is a joke. Hell, I’ll take this:

… even with all the menace and destruction before I’ll accept this coming out to get clicks for an obscure website. Still, I want Anonymous to keep digging. Because the Truth is Out There.
