I was just thinking about how people still go to Roswell, NM to visit the alien museum and yet those UFO sighting events took place decades ago.
Imagine if new sightings took place frequently in some town. That would probably change the local economy of the town.
Nah that'd scare all the locals away and then some kids and their dog would come and get you arrested, possibly harming you (with a makeshift device and/or accidental high-speed tackle) in the process.
Happens every time. yep.
way too specific… is this the plot to a book? if so what’s it called?
Teenagers and a dog sound like Scooby Doo. No idea how specific the rest is.
If I was an investor I would invest before bringing the UFOs
I would invest after the UFOs
With enough of them, property values will go down as people move away
Once it’s identified as a hoax, the value will correct itself over time
Don’t give Elon any ideas
[spoilers] “Fall, Or Dodge In Hell” by Neil Stephenson. Billionaire fakes a nuclear attack on Moab, Utah for shits and giggles. Decades later, many Americans refuse to believe that the town still exists.
Jenkies.
I guess although it wouldn’t really work
