Merged Their Return

[bruto]

What if it was an olympic stadium of people holding flashing lights???

I went to the 1960 boy Scout Jamboree. There were approximately 56 thousand of us all holding lights at the closing ceremony, singing up a storm too. Would you like to guess just how many spacecraft landed there that night? I'll give you a hint. It's an integer less than one.

Then it's probably the half-time show at the Super Bowl.

Yeah, but they are all in domes these days.

The Super Bowl is in Dallas this year. Do you know the old story of the reason for the opening in the roof of Cowboy Stadium? I like that you posted such a comment in a thread where you suggest that Olympic fans look up to attract alien Gods. And you're from Texas?

Texas Stadium was to have originally been a stadium with a retractable roof, but the stadium could not support the weight of the entire roof. This resulted in most of the stands being enclosed but not the playing field itself. This unusual arrangement — more commonly seen in European soccer stadiums — prompted Cowboys linebacker D. D. Lewis to make his now-famous quip "Texas Stadium has a hole in its roof so God can watch His favorite team play", often paraphrased as the "hole" in the stadium's roof was there "so that God can watch His team."

Or 50,000 people holding up lighters at a concert by The Who, Alpine Valley Music Theater, outdoors, summer of '89. Not even a hint of spacelings. Plenty of looking at the sky. Very, very loud audio. And there was even the added benefit of free flowing hallucinogenic compounds. But, nope, not a single UFOlien anywhere.

The aliens were in flying saucers not arriving on the Magic Bus.

If the UFOliens were gonna come down, then the heyday of Seventies stadium rock would have been their moment. But alas!

Pffttt... they tell you it never happened

The Electric Light Orchestra managed to coax an alien Mothership down from above with a fine rendition of Mr Blue Sky.

 

[Hellbound]

Maybe....but they totally ripped off REO speedwagon.

 

[carlitos]

I saw the Mothership land at a P-Funk concert in Memphis in the 90's. The guitarist with the diaper got out, if I remember correctly.

Laser lights seem to upset our pilots and get their attentiion, so hows about a stadium full of laser lights. The statement about the hole in the Dallas dome was silly since everybody knows God's got x-ray vision, and with color HD. Maybe live cheerleaders, but not just the game.

Lasers aimed at pilots is also a federal offense and pretty ****** stupid.

Hardly a global televised event...

Yeah, they tore that stadium down...

The new one has a sliding moon/sun roof. It will be closed during the Superbowl.

Now you are presuming that the aliens have TVs? You suggested "a moment skyward" in the opening ceremonies for the TV production value that would result? Are you serious?

 

[EHocking]

What, Aliens only take notice if it's on TV now?
Or has it come to the point in our history that if it's not on TV, Americans don't think it is real?

I have this pet theory that if and when 'the world' is tuned in, they will descend.

Then they should have done it during the moon landings.

How's about if they started descending, the whole world would tune in.

It's the only way you'd ever get me to watch the Olympics.

With global TV still in its infancy, not enough had tuned in, yet.

I think you are most certainly correct, once they decide to descend, it WILL be on every available broadcast...
