For centuries, humans have looked up at night to the stars and wondered. Are we alone? Can we truly be the only sentient beings in the entire universe? Humanity has been to the moon. Humans have been living in space for decades now –albeit only for short periods of time. Our man made machines and spacecraft have been to Mars and a few of the other planets in our solar system and we have been able to use technology to see across billions of light years into other galaxies. And yet the answer to that centuries old question, are we alone in the universe, has always been a resounding no.

Or has it?

Ask any conspiracy theorist and they will regal you with tales of government cover ups and covert obstructions of the truth. Aliens are real they will say usually offering the famous Area 51 or Roswell, New Mexico as their proof. The government will tell you that the people claiming to have been abducted by little green men or gray skinned aliens with enlongated tear drop shaped heads are nut jobs who are three beers short of a six pack and that the UFO that millions of people saw was actually just some sort of experimental military aircraft. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. While most of these stories are indeed flights of fancy or just not true, some of them just might be real.

In December of 2012 the world was supposed to end. At least according to the nut jobs and doomsday prophesizes who pointed to the Mayan Calendar as proof. December came and went and yet the world still remained. And yet all was not normal. On Christmas Eve 2012 strange green auroras similar to the Borealis Lights were reports from Mexico, the Southwestern U.S., Peru and Egypt. No one knew what was causing these strange auroras and world governments moved quickly to cover up the sightings or discredit them.

In the eight years since there have been strange if not terrifying stories coming out of the secluded areas where these bizarre lights were seen. Stories of horrifying Skeletal beings garbed in ancient Egyptian, Aztec and Mayan fashion appearing out of the dark night and slaughtering whole villages. These absurd stories are of course flat out denied or dismissed as silly camp fire tales.

Overtly the world governments continue to dismiss these claims or cite highly suspect answers as to the truth of these sightings. Covertly however, they have been working is secret to discover the truth behind them and come up with a way to defend themselves against the as yet unknown threat behind the lights and sightings. Under the guidance of top NATO scientists and Military Strategists a new program was formed. The program was dubbed Project G.E.A.R.S. (Global Extraterrestrial Armed Response Squad)
