Australian Announces UFO to Visit Alabama on October 14, 2008

Good people of Alabama, you are not alone. A UFO is coming for a visit. The aliens come in peace and love, so do not be afraid. They come in the name of simply demonstrating that they actually exist and in the hope of staging a good photo-op. Everyone is invited. So put on your best Sunday-go-to-meetin's. The event will take place over a 72-hour period starting October 14, 2008. Bring cameras.

Perhaps they heard about the Alabama's and the Deep South's famous hospitality.

Some things just seem to go together. Like southern and hospitality. Like peas and carrots. Like Forrest and Jenny. Like Alabama and UFOs. Heck, even Australian alien channelers with 60's lovechild names like Blossom Goodchild know that.

Blossom Goodchild Channels "Federation of Light" Aliens En Route To Alabama

Blossom Goodchild is an Australian actress who announced to the world that visitors from the "Federation of Light" would visit the Earth to once and for all still the tongues of UFO detractors by allowing themselves to be seen. According to Goodchild, a massive mothership will hover for 72 hours, demonstrating that beings other than humans exist in the universe.

Blossom Goodchild told UFO Digest that the "Federation of Light" contacted her telepathically, through ESP. The aliens told her that they would visit the Earth on October 14, 2008.

And where is this glorious event to take place? Alabama. Home of Bear Bryant, football, Forrest Gump and country music supergroup Alabama. Oh, and Helen Keller.

Actually, Goodchild isn't quite certain that the UFO will come to Alabama, she told UFO Digest. She said that the alien communication stated: "We give to you the name of Alabama." In fact, in her channeling, Goodchild said the aliens informed her they would appear in the southern hemisphere. Alabama is in the northern hemisphere. Perhaps Goodchild's channel was a bit static-y. Or she dropped the call. So she asked the aliens about this discrepancy. They told her that Alabama "used to be" in the southern hemisphere. Technically, according to tectonic plate theory and continental drift, this would be true. This bit of confusion by the aliens would seem to signal that they haven't been to Earth in quite some time.

Alabama UFO Sightings

Besides, it is not as if UFOs haven't visited Alabama in the past.

There was a UFO sighting in Decatur in May. Some people they saw a soundless object in the sky that suddenly plunged toward the ground. Some say the saw the object in the company of military helicopters. One observer, Cody Terry, told WSFA News that he saw what looked like a large pearl in an ambulance near where the object disappeared. Authorities have acknowledged that a Med-Flight helicopter was in the area and that the pilot had mentioned he had seen a meteorite.

In February 1998, a videotape of disc or ball-shaped object was shown on Fox Television in Mobile, Alabama. The UFO was videotaped in Robertsville on February 7. Two weeks later, in nearby Semmes, Alabama, two witnesses claim to have seen a rectangular-shaped UFO glowing red in the sky above their house.

WBMG in Birmingham reported in 1989 the sighting of an strange object hovering over Fiffe, Alabama, that was witnessed by several residents of the town of 1300, including local police officers.

There are dozens more.

Perhaps The Aliens Want To Visit Huntsville

But why Alabama? Nostalgia? The aliens did tell Goodchild that they knew where Alabama was. Actually, where it used to be. Today, Alabama hosts the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, which has been instrumental in many NASA programs over the years. Perhaps they wish to visit there.

Or maybe they want to visit the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, also in Huntsville, which hosts a museum. Individual tickets for adults are $20 ($24.95 for the combo - museum and an IMAX movie). Group rates are available.

Or maybe they want to attend Space Camp, which is also in Huntsville. They've already missed all the space camps for this calendar year, but, if they're inclined to return, they can book early for next year. They could attend Adult Advanced Space Camp (which is probably optimal for a starfaring race) for $899. Or they wish to do something with the alien kids, they could book a Parent/Child Space Camp 3-Day Package for $399.

That is if they can find a bank that will negotiate an exchange rate for their currency.

It certainly looks as if Huntsville, Alabama, is the optimal place over which to hover if you're traveling light years just to prove you exist.

Needless to say, UFO watchers from around the world will be gravitating toward Alabama, just in case the aliens really do make an appearance. Many will follow events online and keep tabs on breaking news. Because, deep down, most humans want to believe that we are not alone, stuck on a whirling mudball on the edge of a vast galaxy spinning its way through a far more vast expanding universe.

Could The Alabama UFO Be Lost In Translation?

But could Blossom Goodchild, assuming that her communication is accurate, be missing something? Could the actual intergalactic message have been lost in translation?

For instance, the Alabama were a tribe of native North American that inhabited the region where the state now exists. According to Steve Hammons of UFO Digest, the word "Alabama" means "campsite" or "clearing" in the Creek (a tribe of the same region) language or "brush-clearer" or "thicket-clearers" in Choctaw (another tribe). Could the "Federation of Light" have been telling Goodchild that they're just looking for a good place to camp out for three days? Or something more ominous? Like that they are coming to make a clearing in Alabama? Or, worse, of Alabama?

Then running like Forrest Gump ("Run, human, run!") out of Alabama would not be a bad idea.

But Goodchild did say they were coming in peace and love, didn't she? Hopefully, those words mean the same thing in the "Federation of Light" as they do on Earth.

But what if they simply couldn't stand Blossom Goodchild's flower-power 60's throwback name? Perhaps it was simply a subtle suggestion that she change it. According to her, the aliens did say, "We give to you the name of Alabama."
