I believe that the timing of this is meant to distract from the January 6 election contest and protest. They want everyone freaking out about aliens and not paying attention to all the evidence of election rigging.

CIA mind-control victim turned whistleblower Cathy O'Brien warned us back in the early 90s that the CIA was planning a fake alien invasion: https://saidit.net/s/politics/comments/6tsh/excia_agent_mark_philips_and_mk_ultra_mind/

Here is a quote from O'Brien (at 1 hr 12 min) "I know for a fact that the plan is to make all of us feel totally helpless...That what is happening is beyond our realm to effect because we've been taken over by aliens... That our independence day is dawning... so beware of that... Understand that those criminals have been keeping information and technology from us under the blanket of national security... They are 25 years ahead of us -- at least -- technologically. Can you imagine what they've got now?... They are way ahead so when they say "It's aliens! It's aliens!" and they show us some incredible technology, don't fall into that trap of feeling totally helpless that this is beyond our realm to effect. Superstition begins where knowledge leaves off, and they have been keeping knowledge from us for a long time."

This is totally in line with NASA's project blue beam: https://www.wariscrime.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Project_Blue_Beam-DCM01.pdf

James Corbett also did a video on how the elite are planning a fake alien invasion: https://www.corbettreport.com/how-to-fake-an-alien-invasion-video/
