Twitter, Facebook and the worldwide blogosphere have been flooded with alien conspiracy theories about the new Google UFO logo. The logo, showing a classic saucer-shaped spacecraft shining a light down on the search-engine's regular logo, has been the subject of much speculation. The world's internet voices want to now whether the all-powerful web giant is trying to tell us something....

Scotty cant beam them up?

Perhaps the folks at Google are out of ideas for the daily logo.

Honestly I rarely even notice the logo style and I use google for my search engine.

Slow day for the twitters?

Could be in response to this-—

I have been abducted by aliens, says Japan’s first lady
(Oh, and she also knew Tom Cruise in a previous life)

Here’s a list of UFO related events that happened on September 5 - http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/September05.html

Actually, I can make this interpretation quite easy.

The letter being beamed is an “O”.

An Unidentified Flying Saucer means that extraterrestials are flying around in UFOs.

It is a subtle way for Google to say Obama is an alien.

In all likelihood however, it’s probably just some new logo Google thought up.

The spaceship isn’t shining a light on the “O”, it’s beaming it away. Now if someone can beam another “O” away we’d all be better off....

[Islander7]

That's it!

Blame the aliens Immgrants for your email system crashing.

Pathetic!

Well, that makes more sense, I thought it was a salt shaker.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I use Bing. Bing is a much better search engine than Google IMO.

[outinyellowdogcountry]

Sounds like that came from an episode of King of the Hill.

[LiberConservative]

I think it's odd that there is no usual explanation for the logo when you mouse-over. But then again, Google just might be having fun today.

[Global2010]

I will give it a whirl.

It is easy to remember.
Bing Bing as in Cherry/Crosby in the Bells at St. Marys that didnt go bong bong they went bing bing.

[Global2010]

The world's internet voices want to now whether the all-powerful web giant is trying to tell us something.

I want to now too.

There's no gift like the present!
