winsor 186 #26 May 22, 2014 kallend ******Everyone knows that earthly bacteria will kill the aliens when they arrive. Yep. Even did it in the original alien invasion movie War Of The Worlds. Which was, of course, based on the BOOK by H.G. Wells. Any relation to Dawn? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zep 0 #37 May 27, 2014 "Hell that will probably start the first interstellar war humanity will be involved in." Aliens only have to capture one days international news from our peaceful planet and they'll stay the hell away. But if they do come. Synopsis. Read all about it, read all about it, Aliens Land in Ohio, Incarcerated, Studied, Dissected. Oh well, they were only a carbon based life form, we've got plenty here at home. Yep I think you're right.
