Or perhaps, more simply, it was just a con artist at work!
Really, I don't think there's anything else to it, it's that simple!

Is it atall possible that the recent hype over the 14th of october was just a plan all along to discoiurage people from believing in aliens beings and that we are being visited by them because i think im right in saying that since nothing happeneed on the 14th alot of people have now lost some faith in the existence of aliens.
i for one still have my faith well and truly in the existence of them infact im sure they exist and noone can change that but it cant be said for some people i know who have now lost faith in them completely and im wondering have some of you now lost faith in other beings not from this world or is it possible that it was a plan all along.

I don't know if that would be wise. We don't truly know that something like this GFL does not in fact exist.. it is possible that this whole fiasco was orchestrated as disinfo to ruin the idea of such a groups existence.
While I would mark her forever as a hoax as we have done with PROFIT Yahweh. I don't know that I can write off the idea simply because it was used to defraud people. you know what I am saying? There may be people behind this that intended that from the start.

In all seriousness though... Try to keep an open mind.. as some of us have said.. it could be that this was a disinfo campaign from the start.
It is possible that this was the desired response. Fake a contact then when something real is supposed to happen no one will believe it.
but who knows.

That thought crossed my mind today as well.
What if this individual was 'hired' to create this type of hype and letdown, in essence to make a mockery of it all on a widespread scale, and in further essence to disuade the 'curious' from having any further interest in the subject due to a circus-like atmosphere surrounding this?
Hmm....
