I live in Egypt, so I can only watch channels through the NileSat 101/102 satellites, and lately I've noticed a strange pattern in the movies shown on TV.. I noticed that all movie channels show a lot of "Alien" movies, and other channels just show "Alien" related programms. For instance today there was independence day, stargate and forbidden planet and cartoon network showed an episode of Smurai Jack that included aliens. and in the past 73 hours there have been numerous "Alien" movies and "Alien" related programms including Men in Black, Contact, Aliens, Signs, Cocoon 2.. On cartoon network there was an episode of Dexter's Lab, and one episode of The Powerpuff Girls that included aliens, and one of those got repeated on the same day, which never happens. They started showing Star Wars: Clone Wars lately, and it's commercial is shown between every 2 cartoons, and I mean EVERY 2 cartoons. On 60 minutes, there was a programme about the Saturn Rings, they mentioned a moon that has the same conditions as earth (Atmosphere, gravity, ...), and they said that it reflects the state of the earth right before life appeared on it, and that they were expecting to see Dinasaurs to appear on it at any moment!

Now, I have a theory.. I think that Aliens have been discovered and the Governments of the world are trying to prepare the public mentally and phsycologically for such discovery, because if simply tell them that Aliens exist, it would be hard for the mind to accept it, and in some cases it could lead to a shock, so they may be trying to tell them slowly, and make them convinced with the concept itself be explaining it on a scientific basis through movies, so that their minds would be prepared. It's like when you want to tell someone that he had won a million dollars. You first tell him: "What would you do if you won a million dollars ?" So he begins to imagine it, and he begins to live the thought itself, so keeps saying: "I'll buy a cool car, a huge house, a large TV set, etc... ", so, right then you say:" Well, you did win a million dollars !". And also when you try to tell someone that he has cancer, or AIDS, you do it the same way..
It could creep me out less if this has been done by 1 or 2 channels that would keep showing "Alien" movies for the whole day, what's happening is that all kinds of channels (News channels, movies channels, classic movies channels, cartoon channels,...) are showing 1 or 2 movies each, and on a daily basis. It seems as if they are trying to show all these "Alien" related programms to all kinds of audiences, and at the same time without attracting attention, or making any fuss. It seems to be carefully organized, and well executioned (Which makes it fell like the work of a Government- but in this case it would have to be several Governments because those channels come from numerous countries).

And now I want to know if the same is being done in the U.K, it doesn't have to be a pattern, just tell me if you have seen an Alien movie, because I don't expect anyone to spend that much time infront of TV, and it doesn't even have to be a U.K channel, it could be any channel that is being seen on U.K TV by any means.

Every TV show I seem to watch lately has at least one character wearing glasses. Maybe thats the government trying to....

..Or maybe its just me getting the wrong end of the stick.

If Aliens heard you say that, they are going to be angry.

"Say Bill, what would you do if you had cancer?"

No, no I don't think that's how I would tell someone.
