There's talk of an ET threat if the pandemic and insurrection things run out of steam in the next couple months.

I think this could be a great 2022 theme, Alex Jones gonna be all over it now that he's divorcing Trump.

I understand that NASA has hired a bunch of theologians to try and work on coming up with a way to break the news to humanity that we aren't alone.

That 'Don't Look Up' film has spoiled the asteroid impact line, and aliens are for Area 50 nutjobs, so I reckon solar flare or gamma ray burst.

That's obviously for Americans. In the UK it'll be war with the EU (which we'll win because they're all totally impotent these days).

Of course, smallsoftralf would be an expert on impotence.

I am reminded of that saying, "It takes one to know one."

And while smallsoftralf apparently knows lots about Area 50, most Americans know about Area 51:

The small US towns of Rachel and Hiko, near the highly secret Area 51 facility in Nevada, are bracing themselves for a possible influx of visitors.

The viral Facebook event "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" is due to take place on 20 September - even though the person who came up with the idea says it was a joke.

So, what is Area 51?

What do we know about Area 51?
Area 51 refers to a map location and is the popular name for a United States Air Force base. It is at Groom Lake, a dry lake bed in the Nevada Desert, 85 miles (135km) north of Las Vegas.

CNN —
Here’s a look at Area 51, a highly classified United States Air Force facility located at Groom Lake in southern Nevada.

Facts
The US government’s official name for Area 51 is the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is a unit of the Nellis Air Force Base. Today it is used as an open training range for the US Air Force.

According to the CIA, the name Area 51 comes from its map designation.

What goes on inside is extremely secret. Members of the public are kept away by warning signs, electronic surveillance and armed guards.

It is also illegal to fly over Area 51, although the site is now visible on satellite images. The base has runways up to 12,000ft (2.3 miles/3.7km) long.

Other. Climate catastrophe is the most clear and present danger.

Mega Solar Flare 2nd, War with China 3rd, Gamma Ray burst 4th.

The last three don't worry me much.
Putin is a hard-nosed realist. He knows exactly when to push forward and when to pull back. We may come close to war, but the final line will not be crossed.
We have the technology to deflect asteroids. It's a soluble problem.
Alien invasion has never been a realistic threat. A civilization powerful enough to travel interstellar distances has no economic rationale to invade planets with their overpriced gravity wells. It makes far more sense to live in orbit once you have the technology to do so.
