The Great Internet UFO Hoax

Ssshhh! What I am about to tell you is a secret. Do not tell anyone. On Saturday, March 19, many people on the internet will hoax the world with the biggest mass UFO sighting in years. The craft will zoom around the United States and the world. What will they see? A craft with 4 lights, 2 of which blinked several colors. They will then report their sighting as happening at APPROXIMATELY (not exactly) the appropriate time, and that's it.... Report the sighting to the National UFO Reporting center by calling 206-722-3000. Do not post this information online. Only share it with 'real life' friends.

Oooooh shucks Alex, I'm honoured you consider us bunch of ratbags to be your 'real life' friends. Although, it's just a teeny bit on the sad side. 😊

The other day I was trying to tell Erik (my hubby) about something on here.

I started with 'a friend of mine', realised, changed it to 'on my hoax group', realised and had to change it to "somebody on the hoax forum posted....".

I have friends in RL, really I do.

March 19th is my birthday! I can't wait to tell my grand-kids about the great hoax of '05 that took place on my 35th birthday.

Hey, I've got lots of friends. And so what if they're all imaginary? That doesn't make them any less real!

Alex, can I be one of your imaginary friends? I've always wanted a more interesting career.

Alex, You should post this link on there to them. It would be funny see what they have to say about making MOH while trying to keep it "secret." 😊

Let me see if I get this straight; a website dedicated to discrediting hoaxes is taking part in one? Or is it just the webmaster who is taking part and plans to later debunk the hoax he took part in? Or is it an advance debunking of a hoax that is scheduled to occur on March 19, 2005? Or did JR shoot himself?
Posted by Christopher Cole  on  Fri Mar 04, 2005  at  02:33 PM
All I do is report what I see. I saw this site arranging a ufo hoax, and so I reported it. But they want everyone to keep mum about it because, you know, it would be no good letting word of it slip out by doing something like posting it on the internet. So I'm just playing along.
Posted by The Curator  in  San Diego  on  Fri Mar 04, 2005  at  02:38 PM
They're so stupid. Keep somthing secret by putting it on the internet.......... Either that or there's several layers of irony that I can't quite understand.
Posted by Timmy O'Toole  on  Fri Mar 04, 2005  at  03:17 PM
Or how about this Chris. A website dedicated to discrediting hoaxes is "reporting on a planned hoax?" Didn't that ever cross the mind? Have your sister Allegra explain it to ya?
Posted by Mark-N-Isa  on  Fri Mar 04, 2005  at  03:52 PM
A reported UFO sighting that's really a hoax?
Wow, that's really unprecedented!
Posted by Big Gary C  on  Fri Mar 04, 2005  at  05:21 PM
Wow an internet hoax. Don't see much of those.
Posted by Dany  on  Fri Mar 04, 2005  at  06:09 PM
I presume that the hoax requires that if I really do see a UFO that night, I should not report it?

They took it down! I guess they wanted it to remain a secret.

Luckily I did save a screenshot of the first part of the page about the hoax:

At least they were smart enough to change the file names of the images. Moron narcs.
Posted by LUErker  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  02:39 PM
Can't believe those fucking NARCS took our idea.
Posted by Pennington  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  02:55 PM
BAD, BAD idea, guys. The forum that cooked up this particular forum (I'm merely a visitor here--the forum linked here because you have their news) has known to be particularly . . . hostile . . . to people that mess with them, up to and including finding their home address and going from there.

I'm not saying that anything's going to happen to this site, but two websites and an individual associated with the initial spreading of this information have already been seriously messed up, and they might be looking for more. You might be on a queue.
Posted by Good Citizen of LL  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  03:14 PM
I'm sorry, Good Citizen of LL, I think a reasonable person might read that as a threat. I'm pretty sure a Judge would. You know, threatening a person with bodily harm or threatening to damage a persons private property are both against the law.
Posted by JoeSixpack  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  03:24 PM
I am well aware of the fact--so I didn't threaten you or anyone else, which coincidentally works well with my intentions not to mess with anyone (funny world).

I'm just giving you a heads-up that there are people who probably will.

Clarified?
Posted by Good Citizen of LL  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  03:34 PM
Maybe you could give us some details about these claims;

"I'm not saying that anything's going to happen to this site, but two websites and an individual associated with the initial spreading of this information have already been seriously messed up, and they might be looking for more. You might be on a queue."

Who is this "individual" and how was he "seriously messed up"? Do you have a newspaper story to link to?

You seem to have some intimate knowledge of this group and their activities. How would that be? Are you a member?

If you're really concerned about Alex's safety, and not making poorly veiled threats, you should go to the authorities with this inside knowledge. I'm sure they would like your help in bringing this group to justice. They did commit a crime, if you're to be believed. Can you be believed?

And guess what, in spite of the fact that you say you're not making a threat, the tone of your initial post is threatening, and a judge would agree if it were discovered that you were a member of this group. Funny world
Posted by JoeSixpack  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:03 PM
yow... for the last five minutes, I've tried to see some pattern in the punKtuation gibberish posted by LUMEcat, looking for a sailboat or some secret image. Nothing, nada, nathan. Sad
Posted by Hairy Houdini  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:11 PM
Here's a good example. You know that bitchy lady who sued 2 girls over recieving cookies? Did you read the follow-up where she ended up recieving 2 small truckloads of boxes? That was us.

The deal is, LUE made up this hoax. Rather, LL did. And someone else (who we have already dealt with) leaked it. Following that, everyone seems to think that he, and the site he posted it to, made it up.

SUMMARY: Negative Zero did nothing but steal our idea...
Posted by CaptainConfuzion  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:13 PM
Thank you, CaptainConfuzion. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Posted by JoeSixpack  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:21 PM
LUE came up with this..this is LUE. We do not cause damage to people. We do not physically harm them. We send them presents in the form of boxes. LUE is justified in everything.

Now, please, give credit to LUE or remove it for supporting a bunch of worthless narcs.

"Thank you, CaptainConfuzion. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

No one said I was going to do anything. I had no intention to threaten you. I was just giving you an example.

However, the fact still remains that Negative Zero doesn't desere the credit for this...
Posted by CaptainConfuzion  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:30 PM
CaptainConfuzion, I still have no idea what you're trying to say. When your mom gets home, have her proof read your next post for clarity.
Posted by JoeSixpack  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:46 PM
Lol, you guys pissed of LUE. Yeah the LUE.F.O was an idea from LUE but those fucking fags at negative zero stole it. And I advise you (not a threat warning or whatever, so dont take this so heavy) to take down any personal contact information if it is somewhere around here. LL is infamous for sending enormous amounts of boxes to people they don't like.
Posted by LUE!!  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:46 PM
Wow, imagine THAT!

He's all pissed off about something, and he didn't even bother to check and see what the hell he's talking about before he freaked. There is no credit for this story on this page, except for the link to the "original".

And the link doesn't even work.

So, he's freaking about whatnow???

(o) <----Look, I stole Yoshi's eye from LUEnatic's post.

Now he's gonna post back with ten trillion eyes, and I'll just DIE!
Posted by Rod  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:53 PM
In fact, until LUEnatic stated himself that "negative zero" perpetrated this oh so heinous activty, I had no idea who it was. But hey, a little web search and lookie what I found...

The original site is gone, but here's a link to the cached version (http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:5fTGGmbFIWAJ:exopolitics.blogs.com/exopolitics/2005/03/news_alert_blog.html+"negative+zero"+ufo&hl=en&client=firefox-a).

There, Lue, now fuck off or I'll post it everywhere I can, with, of course, your name not attached.
Posted by Rod  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  04:59 PM
Huh? If these people are for real, it sounds like they need professional help, especially if they are a danger to others. If this is a joke, their sense of humor is worse than mine. Plus, what could the joke possibly be? Who in their right mind (as the saying goes) would spend the time needed to carefully type out those patterns?
Posted by Christopher Cole  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  05:00 PM
LUE said;

"LL is infamous for sending enormous amounts of boxes to people they don't like."

Lot's of boxes!?!?!? This is supposed to be scary? How the hell does LL carry out this "horrifying" stunt? Does he use the US mail? FedEX? UPS? Seems like a very large waste of money on LL's part.
Posted by JoeSixpack  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  05:29 PM
And just what the hell is it that LL is so upset about anyway? Having his master plan all over the internet? Maybe he could have just posted his plan on a billboard with instructions for people not to read it unless they're his friends. Looks like LL has only himself to blame. I guess he'll save all that money on postage by sending the boxes to himself.
Posted by JoeSixpack  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  05:33 PM
But hey, if you end up with a ton of boxes (oooooh, scary!), you can always hawk em on ebay as haunted, and get the neighborhood kids to draw all over the inside.
Or give LUE his crayons (you know, the blunted ones) when they let him out for a few hours, and he'll do it himself. From what I've seen, he could use a little artwork practice.

Or maybe you could just learn to read. What part of my post was hard to understand?
Posted by Captain Confuzion  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  06:41 PM
I got this pleading email:

Please take this off of your website. It's supposed to be a secret, and you're one of the several websites that are leaking it. I don't care if you post it on your website after March 19, but take it off now, please.

Also, get the details right. You probably got this from a source that has stolen the credit from LUElinks. LUElinks is an internet message board/community than has formed off of LUE, a message board on gamefaqs.com. I can't reveal a lot about it, because if you aren't a member now, you never can be, and it's useless to explain.


There are a few problems here. Not that I want to spoil anyone's fun, but the hoax had already been leaked and seen by THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE before I even posted anything about it. And by now tens of thousands of people know about it. So it's a little too late to try to keep it a secret.

Also, I can't figure out what these LUE people want. Credit for the failed hoax? or the removal of any mention of the hoax? You can't have both at once. But then again, these are the people who tried to pull off a secret hoax by posting about it on the internet... so maybe they're a little logic challenged.
Posted by The Curator  in  San Diego  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  07:15 PM
The damn thing was thought up on LUELinks.
Stupid narcs leaking information and getting other people credit for our shit.
And do you know how annoying getting about 10,000 boxes would be? (By the way, it costs absolutely nothing to send them.)

and before you suggest that we go find something better to do, this is what we do.

Since people already know about the damn thing, credit. And LUELinks is a place that not just anyone can view, only the 8000+ people signed up currently can view it. You need a LUEable account on GameFAQs to sign up, and you cannot get one of those anymore. In fact, the only way to actually see anything on there without a narc would be to hack the site. Good luck with doing that.
Posted by LlamaGuy  on  Wed Mar 09, 2005  at  07:22 PM
All we want is credit for the hoax, we're the ones that came up with this idea, not Negative Zero or whatever it is. Credit where credit is due, please.

First of LL didnt waste money getting the boxes we got the for FREE yeah thats right FREE.

and all you non LL users can whine all you want but their are a lot of worse people on the internet that can do a lot worse things then just threaten a person. plus what judge would ever say that it was a real threat not a joke that was on the internet?

I kid said he was going to kill me cuz I said Bush sucks. Did I sue him? No there is a line between reality and the Internet.

actually you are close the US postal service, Fedex and some other companys will send you free boxes, what Luelinks.net will do is fill in the persons contact information on who they want to send the boxes and bam there you go mucho boxes.

really stupid if you ask me, but LUE is known for its stupidity, but of course they are also at war with another Site( http://www.lue2.com ) because they see the site as too inferior to hold the "LUE" name, oh well they want retribution for the narcing of it (stupid if you ask me but whatever)

so just ignore them, thats what I do
