Stock up on tinfoil hats, laser guns, refried beans and anything else one might want for a Martian invasion. This month, Mars will be closer to Earth than it’s been in a decade. This could very well be the aliens best opportunity for an invasion. Let’s hope they come in peace.
MARS QUICKLY APPROACHING EARTH
On May 30th, keep your eyes on the sky. Mars will appear in a way that it hasn’t in over a decade. NASA states that the red planet will be about 46.8 million miles away from Earth. That may seem like a great distance for average joes like you in me, but to aliens, it’s a mere step away. The reason for the close passing is due to the two planets egg-like orbits. Minimum distance between the two doesn’t stay the same for this reason meaning that gravitational pull from the planets is constantly changing. Time to time, they will drift near each other and this is one of those times.
ALIENS GEAR UP FOR VISIT
If aliens have any plan of an easy Earth visit, the opportune time will be from May 18 to June 3. We may even be able to see it. Mars will be visible to the naked eye making for some optimal skywatching that only occurs once every 15 years. Once the clock strikes midnight, the red planet will be at its highest point. Midnight seems like the perfect time for aliens to make their move. Seeing as they missed out on their last opportunity in 2003, perhaps they will be striking will full force this time around.
NASA KNOWS SOMETHING
All this could very well be a mindless alien conspiracy, but NASA has been up to some fishy business up on Mars. The curiosity rover is apparently up there to study the planet’s surface, take a few scenic photos and get on out of there, but after reports of an alien humanoid sighting, NASA might just be up to something. If there are aliens already on the red planet, why would NASA hide them from us? Perhaps they don’t offer any real threat to Earth. One can suppose we will find out soon when Earth comes closer to Mars in the coming weeks. Get Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones ready.
