Google Finally Acknowledges UFO Drawings

Google has finally addressed the alien invasions on its homepage.
A few weeks back Google featured a drawing on its homepage that showed a UFO abducting the second O in the Google logo. An official tweet cleared up the confusion as to what the Google Doodle was referencing (Zero Wing, apparently) but several more UFO Doodles have appeared since. Sure, there was always an encoded tweet on hand to help decipher the special occasion, but today Google has officially acknowledged the UFOs on its blog, rather than just tweeting it.
Late last night Google revealed that the series of drawings were a nod to H.G. Wells, the author of The Time Machine and War of the Worlds. Wells would have turned 143 years old over the weekend and Google's Michael Lopez said they wanted to celebrate the authors life and have a little fun at the same time.
"Inspiration for innovation in technology and design can come from lots of places; we wanted to celebrate H.G. Wells as an author who encouraged fantastical thinking about what is possible, on this planet and beyond. And maybe have some fun while we were doing it."
Lopez goes on to say that this marks the end of an invasion by alien crafts but encourages everyone to read Wells' The War of the Worlds.

So why is what Google's logo was on a particular day news worthy in even the least amount.
Sloooooow news day?
WTF this is news?
You retards read the article, didn't you? Maybe you should be scouring fox news...that's probably more your speed.
lmao.wait till tomorrow 5870! should be some news there
Sloooooow news day?
lulz
Undoubtedly there is an order form the Builderberg group to quell the mass panic that ensued as a result of the google UFO doodles. This is why this news is appearing everywhere. Personally I say we should fight on the side of the invading alien force when it arrives because they would offer us more freedoms after enslaving us than our own governments.
Shut up people, this news bit blew my mind.
over at notebook review alot of people were hoping this had to do with new Alienware laptop releases haha
they will be disappointed
Gaming rigs are strictly a DIY affair, so I don't much appreciate gaming laptops. We have to realize that all our devices can't play games; a sad fact. Adding weight and bulk for the sake of playing Crysis during class defeats the purpose of purchasing a laptop.
WATCH THE First Wave movie!!!
Could they be making fun of the new Japanese Prime Ministers wife?? The UFO's began to appear soon after her story of alien abduction. Could Goggle be trying to get us in a row with Japan??
Good book.
In related news, I'm fat.
wait let me get this.... whats a tweet?
I can see this fulling numerous stupid conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theory : Google is run by Aliens
Completely untrue. Just because some programmers seem like they are from another planet doesn't mean they are
ALL YOUR "O's" ARE BELONG TO US!
What next? Google replaces the 'O's with holes
roflmao! boys just want to have fun!
Yes but will it play Crysis
I don't think the UFO has a system capable enough to play Crysis if it can only steal one "O".
Nice try Google...we know you are a front for the CIA
and are using a form of mind control on us masses...lol
hey!...i could use a job too and am an expert in mass
hypnosis and brainwashing. Where can i send my resume?
I didn't like war of the worlds, personally.
Wow, just think, a 143 year old man introduced our planet to 'the fear of aliens from outer space invading the Earth'.

you laugh, but the radio broadcast (1939) scared the sh!t out of a lot of ppl. It was done as a series of new bulletins and 3/4 of ppl who listened to it thought it was real!
I wasnt around then obviously, but my Grandpa has told me about it.
HG Wells is one of the greatest writers ever. He wasn't just about aliens and science, but about the human condition and culture, politics, morality. Everything any good science fiction writer aspires too. If it means a few Google "O"'s coming my way or even being irreparably lost, I'm all for it.
I actually was going to reread that novel in the last year and never got around to it. I read it when about 16 years old, I'm now 35.
It helps when you have the book scanned and are willing to sell it to anyone who wants it.
Naaaaha, this can't beat the news we had coming from UK some time ago. Nothing beats Google BBQ XD ! ! ! Not even UFOs ! XD
