Every time you think 2020 can't get any more outlandish the universe shows up and tells you that you are simply WRONG.
This time, the universe LITERALLY showed up. A bizarre claim from former Israeli space security chief Haim Eshed is to blame.
Eshed has said that a group of alien intergalactic systems has made contact with the Earth, and that both the United States and Israel have come to an agreement with the group (known hereto as the "Galactic Federation") so that it "may research and understand the fabric of the universe."
However, Eshed says Earth has not joined said Federation as humans are not "ready" to experience alien life.
This is so wild and out of left field that immediately it received the meme treatment.
Also included in these crazy allegations is an underground base on Mars—home to American and alien representatives.
Eshed also implied US President Donald Trump was going to disclose the existence of said aliens, but the Galactic Federation stepped in "to prevent mass hysteria."
If there is such a Federation, what do they think of Earth?
"The Galactic Federation makes jokes about the Earth like we make jokes about Florida," said one user.
This year has been such a wreck for Earth that joining an intergalactic group of systems and being able to leave the planet might sound really appealing right now.
But aside from Eshed's word, no evidence exists that there is such a thing.
If there were, it would be the perfect cherry on top of 2020.
