Election Day Saucer Syncs

From "Saucer Country"

This is just a minor sync that happened to me last night, but I'm going to note it anyway. I feel if you don't write these things down, you either doubt it happened or you plain old forget. So here goes:

I return to my office after a whole week away because of Hurricane Sandy. On my desk is a package: an advance review copy of the graphic novel "Saucer Country" (which takes place during a presidential campaign, just for an added bit of sync with the impending Election Day). Had a dream or so that sort of related to the book the night before, but I'm not going to get too much into that. This is a "fluffy sync" post.

Going home on the train I read the majority of said book, which goes pretty heavily into the history of UFOs and alien abductions. Fictional story with a lot of call-outs to non-fictional things, including Betty and Barney Hill, Project Bluebook, etc.

At home I wolf down dinner and watch the highly-hyped "Illuminati" episode of "The Cleveland Show" -- which was, "meh." Only really interesting regarding the fact that they addressed the issue at all, albeit in a highly sanitized version of the actual urban legends.

But right after that I flip through my Netflix aimlessly, looking for one more thing to watch. Through their "If you watched this, you'll like that" feature, I run into none other than "The Hardy Boys" -- a show I can safely say I have never watched since I was like five or six. I think "what the hell" (I've been on sort of a retro TV kick anyway lately), and click the first episode in the queue.

Of course, it is about UFOs, featuring many of the same scenes as "Saucer Country"...even mentioning Project Bluebook:

Further, the episode, called "The Disappearing Floor," actually features a "disappearing floor" in a large weird mansion -- a plot point in the "Cleveland" episode I had just watched before.

Well, "spoilers" on the Hardy Boys" -- the episode ends with there being no UFOS or disappearing floors, just the "new science" of holograms developed for the military. The UFOs were all "disinformation" designed to scare off the Hardys, Scooby-Doo like.

Still, it was an interesting bit of syncs, all around. Does it all really "mean" anything? Is the "presidential" plot of "Saucer Country particularly significant, given what today is? Or is it just me attracting "like" ideas to "like" -- no real "meaning" present, other than what I give it? I'm content with any of these conclusions.
