FT271
We noted in the last entry that both the Space Brothers of the 1950s and the grey aliens of 1990s abductions were, by and large, doom merchants, although their approaches to the horrors they foresaw for humanity were rather different. Like many people on Earth, the Space Brothers were concerned about the dire consequences of nuclear weapons. Forty-odd years later, like many people on Earth, the aliens were warning of environmental collapse and/or cataclysmic natural disasters; and as the year 2000 approached, the upheavals they appeared to predict became ever more severe. While the Space Brothers indicated ways we could avoid the collapse of civilisation as we knew it, the Greys simply seemed to be passing a note marked indifferently “FYI” and leaving it at that.
