Anonymous, the online collective responsible for various internet-based pranks, hacks and activism has announced its next target – UFO enthusiasts.
On May 22, participants are being asked to flood UFO websites, news organisations and local authorities with false reports of a "triangle of about eight yellow lights in the sky".
Why? To cause a "shitstorm" and for the "lulz" (that's "laughs" to the rest of us).
"It's time we band together to strike fear into the idiots of the world, for nothing more than the lulz," the online poster for the event, 'Operation UFO', reads.
But considering Anonymous consists of pretty much anyone on the internet who says they are Anonymous, the warning of a prank could be the prank itself. If this is the case, at least one person out there will be lulzing - anonymously.
