“1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19″ That was Google’s Twitter status last September 5, accompanied by a Twitpic link to a screenshot of a Google doodle where one of the o’s is being abducted by an alien craft. The cryptic tweet was a code that was fairly easy to decipher. It read, “All your O are belong to us,” a play on the old Internet meme, “All your base are belong to us.”

“51.327629, -0.5616088″ That was Google’s Twitter status ten days later, accompanied by another Twitpic link, this time leading to a crop circle representation of the search engine’s logo. Those numbers turned out to be the coordinates of Horsell Commons, a key location in the science fiction classic, The War of the Worlds.

“Happy birthday, H.G. Wells!” That was Google’s first tweet Monday, accompanied by a link to another alien invasion-inspired logo and the blog post which officially revealed the reason behind the hitherto mysterious trilogy of doodles: Google actually set out to pay homage to H.G. Wells, author of The War of the Worlds and a slew of other fantastic and influential novels. He was born 143 years ago, on September 21, 1866.

    There may be another reason for Google's trilogy of alien logos. During the past two weeks I have videotaped evidence proving that the sky/horizon is in a Simulated Reality. Unfortunately, the implication is that something is very wrong and Google might have been trying to relay a similar message. I believe there is serious trouble coming and action needs to be taken and that the government military, NSA, and other countries need to be informed. It’s possible that some sites are having difficulty getting messages out and the internet has been compromisd. See my web page for the evidence.
