Yeah. He’s now the second high-powered individual to make such claims that I know of. The first was a Canadian general, IIRC.
Unfortunately, it’s clear that this guy is just trying to sell his book by making statements he knows will get picked up in the media and get shared around.
I remember that Canadian general’s interview, ya.
You’re probably right about the book sales, but I’m still hopeful. Just as long as it isn’t the reapers.
Surely they would just show up?
Well, they’ve got their horns
Jupiter/Saturn conjunction visible now. Bloody clouds!!!
Edit: They set at about 20:40 last night where I am.
Had a couple of minutes of no cloud in the area:
Coupl’a moons
Very grainy, but…
Having no luck from my place 
I may just try another moon pic or two…
Good luck!
We drove out to Llandudno last night, watched the sun set and then waited for the conjunction to appear in the sky. We didn’t have a telescope or anything with us, sadly, but it was still awesome.
Only disappointed that a kaiju didn’t emerge from the ocean, or that magical monsters didn’t enter our world at the conjunction of the spheres or something. It is 2020, after all.
You ever think about how the moon is approximately 400x smaller than the sun whilst also being approximately 400x closer to earth therefore making them appear to be the exact same size in the sky?
Best of the images I managed to get. Had thin clouds in front of them for a little while, otherwise completely obscured
Zoomed in to maximum on the image, and no sign of rings or moons sadly:
Did manage a decent shot (literally just this one!) of Luna in her half moon state:
Next challenge is the moon and clouds in the same shot.
It never always used to be this way too, the moon is slowly drifting away. It just so happens to line up perfectly for us because life spontaneously emerged all those millions of years ago.
That blows my mind even more.
The comments on that are so… American, it shows the polarised environment these people live in.
