Repent! The End Is Nigh!

People of Earth! It is in your best interest to arm yourselves and begin construction of your bomb shelters. The aliens have arrived!

Moogs in outer space! Well, almost. NASA recently published several audio recordings collected during the Cassini-Huygens space probe's exploration of the Saturnian system, and it couldn’t sound more like a
theremin-laden soundtrack to a 2001: A Space Odyssey sequel. Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions that are generated along with the auroras of the planet's poles -- similar to Earth's northern and southern lights.

The eerie whistling, epic whooshing and warbling echoes collected by the probe's instruments sound as though they could have been lifted directly from '50s sci-fi classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space or Forbidden Planet.

And I, for one, welcome our new Alien Overlords. I would also like to point out the fact that a Big-City Police Detective like myself would be beneficial in collecting worker-slaves for your underground catacombs. You know, in case you ever feel the need . . .
