Just as Werner Von Braun predicted many years ago.

That flashing light is a call for all leftists to come home.
I can read the code.
I can also help them pack.

Interesting points about the Gliese planet. Another thing to point out is that it's a flare star, and would flood any nearby planets in its system with hard radiation regularly. And if they're tidally locked, the planets' warm side would be sure to get a blast of radiation.
No life there. The only mystery is why this solar system is getting pumped in the media so often lately. It could be, as you suggest, Wendy, an attempt to create a new religion, a new idol to replace the failed global warming story.

No, not ‘wow’. The planets around this star are almost certainly sterile, because it’s a FLARE STAR (as I keep pointing out in thread after thread). It shoots out deadly radiation in giant plumes all the time.

The great graphic novel "Watchmen" featured a fake extraterrestrial attack as a ploy to bring everyone on earth together as a united front. It was an effort to end struggles between people, because we all had a common enemy. And you don't ping *me*?
;-)
Seriously though, this is a brilliant and recurring theme.
Outer Limits had an episode involving a fake alien invasion.
"The Architects of Fear".
Another foreshadowing of a likely (near) future.

Ah... nice concept.
Reality, though, I believe, will be the opposite.
The anti-Christ that “solves the world’s problems” will arrive as an “extraterrestrial”, and people will accept him as a savior of the world.

According to legend it will bathe the earth in a Utopian ray that will turn all the races Gray and end racism one and for all.Are you trying to give Jesse Jackson nightmares?

I’m sure it was only million year old (1st run) TV show of “I love Glucy”... perhaps with some hi-tech instructions on how to built a 1st Contact machine.

Alan Moore, the author of "Watchmen" is a leftwing occultist. His views on the benefits of extraterrestial (or inter-dimensional) invasion probably differs from yours.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that all his ideas differ from yours.

Exactly. The media runs with the most sensational headline they can find while the rest of the scientific community studies in quiet anonymity.
In this case one guy says he saw a flash. Other astronomers would point out that space is lit up with distant explained and unexplained flashes and flickers all the time.
Last night there was a story about a “scientist” who claims he’s 100% sure that there is life on the planet despite having zero evidence to back up his claim. Other scientists say that IF there was life on the planet it would most likely be microbial life.
I personally hate the term “earthlike” because science has one view of that and the media promotes another view. From a scientific standpoint, mercury, venus and mars are all “earthlike”. I prefer the term “rocky planet” as a better description.

Pimping for research grants.
What are the chances that, in the whole of the universe, there is an earth like planet with something / someone on it this close?
Bunk.
