THIS IS WHAT WAS OBSERVED:
The sudden disappearance of all world political and religious leaders
Strange objects floating in the sky
A deafening, terrifying scream that filled the air around the world
THIS IS WHAT THE GENERAL POPULATION WAS TOLD:
A Summit meeting at the North Pole
High cloud formations, spots before the eyes
A scientific device gone astray
THIS IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
Evacuation to the planet Echo on the far side of the sun
G-Ships used to spirit world leaders to their sanctuary
The Big Sound that signaled the beginning of the total extinction of Earth
