Worried bookmakers have stopped taking bets on aliens showing up on Earth. It follows a flurry of bets amid internet buzz that a massive intergalactic spaceship will appear tomorrow. Videos and messages on YouTube, blogs and UFO websites are buzzing with predictions that a vessel from the alien Federation Of Light will be visible in our skies for three days. It may all sound more oddball than odds-on - but bookies William Hill are taking it seriously enough to temporarily suspend betting on proof of the existence of intelligent alien life being confirmed by PM Gordon Brown. It follows a rush of bets, including one punter who wanted to place a s3000 bet at odds of 1000-1. Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: "This is the first time an internet phenomenon has affected our business. "We now have seven-figure liabilities if the ship does appear. We have decided to duck any more big bets until the 14th has passed, hopefully without incident." The rumour is believed to have been started by "channeler" Blossom Goodchild, who claimed to have received a psychic tip-off. The stories have spread, along with a warning it would "cause panic among the masses".

One message claims: "They have carefully selected this time to show up and are doing it out of goodwill because of the great evils behind this world. "It is time to become free from wars, pestilence, famine, poverty, sickness, disease, rich and poor and all the world sufferings." No time was given for the spaceship's arrival.

Let us hope the UFOs appear as foretold. We are ready to embark to the next dimension. This is the best time. Peace.

"It is time to become free from wars, pestilence, famine, poverty, sickness, disease, rich and poor and all the world sufferings."

I am all for this in any capacity. However, if they do not appear tomorrow, I wonder if there will be any lawsuits against Blossom Goodchild.

I think you had better start studying the legal system. Many people make bizarre claims/predictions every day. A lawsuit would be frivolous.

[Moon Demon]

"I think you had better start studying the legal system."

..and it think you should as well, selling items based on a lie or hoax is definitely worthy of a lawsuit. Thank you.

[Corvis]

Well, either way, someone's cashing in on it. I don't agree with the theory that tomorrow something's going to happen, but I wouldn't go so far as to place a bet on it. Weird.

[missmaster]

I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure Moon Demon has a point here.

6-figure losses from 'malicious rumour' can result in lawsuits and not necessarily 'frivolous' ones either!

[Uversa]

I agree would be great to see their reactions when they lose.

I don't mean to offend or cause argument, although I might. But this is exactly the kind of consciousness that needs to dissapear from the world.

Taking happiness in seeing others misery. Not to mention the close minded final conclusions you seem to have drawn about tomorrow, how do we know 100% what is going to happen one way or the other? We don't.
