Heads up UFOers!

'Alien invasion' to launch in April - but 'UFOs' will be glowing drones piloted by hoaxers

The plans have been drawn up carefully - on an April evening this year, swarms of glowing spacecraft will begin a flight through our atmosphere - and hover over locations around the world.

The goal is maximum panic - and to cause an ‘apocalypse’ in the media. But the pilots of the eerie craft are not little grey men from Alpha Centauri - but UFO fans using drone aircraft.

Dozens of volunteers around the world have signed up for what may be the biggest prank in history - using decades of knowledge of ‘UFO sightings’ to time the launch perfectly.

The ‘aliens’ will be strips of LED lights, on remote-controlled multi-rotor drone aircraft - launched at 8pm, so there are plenty of people to see the ‘invaders’, and held at a distance where it’s difficult to see what’s behind the glowing lights.

1. Good thing they kept it a secret. D'oh

[Logical]

2. My prediction is people will still think aliens have really visited. n-t

3. April 10th would be the perfect time

for real ETs to invade Earth, since everyone would think it's a hoax.

11. Don't you mean, April 1st?

[frogmarch]

17. Yes. Didn't have my glasses on. :-)

21. LOLOLOL!

You had me trying to figure out why April 10th would make a good hoax day!

4. What if the whole "hoax" part is, actually, ITSELF a hoax?

What better way to camouflage a REAL invasion from Alpha Centauri, than to pull the old "it's a hoax" gambit that the stoooooopid Illuminati-addled sheeple ALWAYS fall for!!!!!!!!!!!

6. I, for one, will welcome our new alien overlords.

12. Well it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Moline

[LuvNewcastle]

20. I wish they'd hurry up. It couldn't be a better time.

[pinboy3niner]

14. Exactly! It's just what the aliens want us to think!!!

Those devious bastards!

[flying rabbit]

22. Excellent reasoning!

[LeftyMom]

5. And now the UFO people will think this is a cover for a real incident.

15. ...

Is it? I didn't think about that before...but now hmm...

7. Back in my day, we employed a dry cleaning bag, paper straws, and birthday candles

The glowing, drifting unidentified object was dutifully reported by our local paper. We pranksters have come a long way!

[zappaman]

8. People are gullible.

Wait and see how many report these...

[Archae]

9. We did the same thing.

Only we used two balsa wood sticks.

[Brother Buzz]

10. When I first met my elder East Coast BIL's, I demonstrated one for them on a dare

I used dried spaghetti and another birthday candle to 'tack weld' them together. They were duly impressed.

I was on a roll, so I also made a zip-zip from another dry cleaning bag. I guess they were also called Zilch bombs in some circles:

[Bonobo]

13. Did a vehicle come from somewhere and find a place to park itself?
