Apocalyptic Message Interrupts TV Broadcasts

September 22, 2017 at 1:23 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Many Californians’ regularly scheduled broadcasts were interrupted Thursday morning with strange emergency messages warning of extraterrestrial invasions and the beginning of Armageddon. The bizarre warnings aired on TVs in the Orange County area,” Gizmodo reports.

From the message: “The space program made contact with… They are not what they claim to be. They have infiltrated a lot of, uh, a lot of aspects of military establishment, particularly Area 51. The disasters that are coming—the military—I’m sorry the government knows about them…”

I confess, there's a very pretty little house down by the lake I can't help coveting should its owners just disappear. We'd need to get in there before anyone else grabbed it, though, and we're about to head off to a grandson's baseball game. What to do!?

and had a fairly good discussion with members here. Some DUers didn't quite believe that I saw and heard what I did.

Validated!

My TV just got interrupted by an alarm

There was a red banner/feed running across the top that said something about a warning system in effect until 11:00 tonight. Then there was a very poorly recorded, but loud, voice communication about end times and gawd.

I posted an editorial from the local paper and didn't provide a link. Got a lot of snark, nastiness and sarcasm about it. Apparently a persons word is not to be believed.

Someone searched for the editorial and posted it. Crickets after that.
