Outline
Circulating stories claim that researchers at Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) have discovered that three gigantic spaceships are currently heading towards Earth and will arrive in 2012.
Brief Analysis
The claims in the stories are utter nonsense. The SETI Institute has denied any knowledge of such an event and has certainly not released a report about the impending arrival of any alien spaceships. Moreover, there is no credible evidence of any kind to support the claims. The rumours began circulating after a story about the supposed alien invasion was published on Examiner.com and then subsequently in Russian news outlet Pravda in December 2010.

Subject: Three giant spaceships to attack Earth in 2012?
It is about time science should say its word regarding the problem, and it did. SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), an independent non-commercial organization, released a sensational statement.
Three giant spaceships are heading towards Earth. The largest one of them is 240 kilometers wide. Two others are smaller. At present, the objects are beyond the orbit of Pluto.
The spaceships were detected by HAARP search system. The system, based in Alaska, was designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights. According to SETI researchers, the objects are nothing but extraterrestrial spaceships. They will be visible in optical telescopes as soon as they reach Mars’s orbit. The US government has been reportedly informed about the event. The ships will reach Earth in December 2012.
