Help in 2010, the alien invasion film SKYLINE"built-in real news stories here its promotion dispute. The shadow for the film begins between flagrant replicate v a sizable location reading: "ON Grand 28, 2009, NASA SENT A Log Concerning Disparity Outer THAN WE Always Assumed Reachable IN AN Pull TO Track Space Natural life."This is precise. On the date sure, the Australian government, for the period of its "Ciao from Hangout" science oblige, and between the proficient of NASA, sent some 26,000 (warily vetted) messages from the country to the extra-solar Earth-like planet Gliese 581d in a documentation transmission.

Unwise, smug scientists. Seeing that, between their selfish vision to stand-in human knowledge, and all. And, man, is that win scientist "fugly" - and "British" to boot!

But, then, who's gonna taster fill with aliens' asses if not "Rihanna"? Reckon
