SATURN MOON MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR ADVANCED ALIEN INVASION FORCE
December 7 2010
Washington, D.C. – Like many things in life, our dreams have not turned out the way we had hoped. In 2010 there are no flying cars, there are no domed cities, and there are no communications with extraterrestrials. While certain technologies, such
as the internet, have evolved with anyone ever having dreamt of them, those fanciful imaginings have remained elusive and quite possibly beyond the reach of human beings forever. At the very least, it is unlikely that any of them will be seen on our lifetimes.
Of course, some of those imagined futures and technologies are simply beyond the abilities of science. It is entirely possible that flying cars will never happen, that personal jetpacks simply cannot exist according to the laws of physics no matter how badly we want them to happen, they may simply never come to be. However, there are some futures that are not only possible but even likely, but are not only beyond our technology but are also out of our hands entirely. Case in point is the possibility of interaction with intelligent life from another planet. With billions, trillions, of planets in the universe the likelihood of life is high and the likelihood of intelligent life just as likely. Thus far there has been no communication with such beings but eventually, maybe, possibly that will come in one form or another. Now astronomers believe they have a likely candidate for an advanced force of such beings, friendly or otherwise, in Rhea, a moon of Saturn.
“We've seen this happening at Jupiter, and now we've confirmed it on a Saturn moon. The fact that it's widespread is very exciting,” said a NASA spokesperson. “This discovery of an oxygen/carbon dioxide atmosphere is something a little unexpected but does play into other expectations we have been forming about the nature of the solar system. Simply put, oxygen is far more abundant than we once believed. While the environment is certainly not Earth-like it shows that life could exist in much more abundance than we realize.”
Oxygen is often regarded as one of the traits of a body capable of supporting life, or of one that already does.
“All these recent discoveries show that some of the basic elements of life as we know 
it are common in our little neck of the universal woods which leads one to believe that they are as common throughout. It’s very unlikely that these elements, like water, oxygen and carbon dioxide , are simply isolated to our solar system. The dispersion here leads to a sensible conclusion that it is common throughout the Universe,” said Scrape TV Science analyst Dr. Howard Poe. “While that is certainly a great thing for the discovery of potential life, it also means that there are potentially a great number of threats out there. There is no reason to assume that alien species will be friendly or pleasant. They could come from a planet where their Nazis won the war.”
Nazis lost the war on Earth.
“A body like Rhea would be a perfect staging ground for an assault on Earth. True, it is small, but it is also far from away. With the limits of our technology it’s likely a huge assault force could be housed on the moon before we even knew what was going on. Any pre-emptive assault would likely fall flat because of the distance, leaving them with the upper hand,” continued Poe. “Now I’m not saying that that is what’s going to happen, but with a life-sustaining so nearby it is a distinct possibility and unfortunately no amount of preparation will help, outside blowing up the moon itself. That might make those aliens think twice.”
Rhea is about a quarter the size of our moon, still a challenge with our weaponry.
