Talking UFO prediction for today

According to <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/02/21/olympics.aliens.reut/index.html" target="_blank">this</a> CNN story, space aliens were supposed to fly overhead at the Olympic Games today to heal the world and make it a better place.

Heck, maybe they were responsible for poor Michelle Kwan falling.

If the Mormons can handle a Baptist convention, a few space aliens are nothing.

Tiamat went instead, honking in favour of cheeses.

Actually, I was reading Jung once and he mentioned that UFO sitings and abductions became very popular at the beginning of the cold war. He theorized that the delusion was a cry for control and help. That we as a race were at the breech of self-destruction and we needed someone to come and help us and free us of our fears and weaknesses.

This is just another piece of proof to fill that puzzle.
