>>A newly-published book by a retired NORAD officer predicts October 13, 2010 as the tentative date for a fleet of extraterrestrial vehicles to hover for hours over the earth's principal cities. Author says the event to be the first in a series intended to avert a planetary catastrophe resulting from increasing levels of carbon-dioxide in the earth's atmosphere dangerously approaching a "critical mass."

>>A newly-published 352-page book by a retired Air Force officer, Stanley A. Fulham, tentatively predicts October 13, 2010 as the date for a massive UFO display over the world's principal cities. According to the author, the aliens will neither land nor communicate on that date; they are aware from eons of experience with other planets in similar conditions their sudden intervention would cause fear and panic.

>Not another one. What's this fascination with fear and panic? It's such a cliche, kept pressed in minds by all of the Hollywood and TV production, that it is nearly a self-fulfilling prophecy, after the masses are led to believe that's how they'll behave. "Similar conditions" - like, planets with the same production of scripts?

>The accounts of actual human behavior during catastrophes (like earthquakes - not my own, but heard them firsthand), or what I saw during the bombing, speak of people mostly doing sensible things, helping each other, thinking fast etc.

Booga booga - More likely what is being seen are devices from the Nevada desert test areas. Although :-O there were a lot of sightings in the NewYork area - See the map at http://www.mufon.com.
