    "Damn those rascal Aliens for making a fool of me! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

    I keep thinking what incredible theater this is.

    She really has no idea that she channels her inner mental illness.

    This whole episode really depressed me, for a number of reasons. Mostly the will to believe from so many people - and the fact that it literally dropped ufology down a few more notches in the eyes of the masses.

  4. I actually feel a little sorry for her. I get the feeling from this video that she might have actually believed her prediction.

    Welcome to reality, Blossom.

    The desire to worship super-human beings is still with us in the 21st Century.

    A modern religion and Blossom is its Prophet.

    *Sigh*

    Oh, she absolutely believed that she was channelling alien. No doubt about that.

    Seriously? And what, pray tell, will be the excuse when the 24th passes uneventfully?

    Well, there's always the Romulan galactic calendar.

    I believe the aliens will make themselves known on the 12th of Never, personally.

    Mac, I'm keeping an eye on this. If it doesn't happen on 10/24, then it will be pushed up to 11/11.
    But there are already back-up excuses for these dates that have already been used.
    1. It was the fault of the non-believers.
    2. It happened in a different dimensional timeline. Had we all believed enough, it would have happened in THIS timeline.

    "Ah -- the old "When Prophecy Fails" schtick."

    Exactly. I can just picture Leon Festinger slowly shaking his head in bemusement and mourning, muttering about "cognitive dissonance redux." Or something like that.
