Have you visited Google’s homepage today? You probably have, and you probably noticed today’s “Google Doodle.”
Google’s Doodle for September the 5th is the Google logo with a spaceship “beaming up” one of the O’s. Now, normally Google has daily logos that reflect an important event (past or present), but not today. Upon clicking this image, you’ll notice you’re directed to the Google search for “unexplained phenomenon.” The top two results? Unexplained-Mysteries.com and a LiveScience article about the top ten unexplained phenomena.
Almost immediately after this doodle appeared, unexplained phenomenon rose to the top of Google Trends; not far behind was top ten unexplained phenomena.
It’s still unclear as to why Google has put a spaceship into today’s doodle, but there is no shortage of speculation. It may have been a response to a trend in searches for unexplained phenomenons recently, but many people believe it has to do with the success of District 9 or the release of District 9 in the United Kingdom. A lot of people believe it has to do with an 
upcoming viral event, something big. And there is also a lot of speculation that, yes, Google has inside information that aliens will be arriving to Earth soon.
And to add to the confusion, Google tweeted “1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.1” which translate to “all your O are belong to us.”
Whatever this may be, it’s definitely interesting and is creating a viral stir amongst bloggers. Right now, Google is shaping the news. The Google Doodle is impacting what we are searching for and what content we’ll look at today. And I know one thing is for sure, I’m going to be telling my friends about this, so let the viral begin.

I think Bob has it right. I know a lot of computer ppl and that would fit with most of their humor! I think its funny…..I was curious too, but when you say it like that… well, somebody is laughing their tookuses off right now!:)
It’s O-fficial! Obama is one of them! I knew he was not from this planet. We can HOPE they return for him soon…
trying to figure out the ruckus i also ran across that link u deleted from joe. I too was wary of its contents and wouldnt ever pay the $… but obviously google has something to do with it… the ufo google link went right to unexplained phenomenon?? wasnt linked to page directly but very close… who are they helping???thats the question
It’s a joke. It’s a spoof on a Japanese game called Zero Wing. When they translated the game to English part of it came out as All your base are belong to us. There was a game on Google as well as the logo The game had numbers as the clue and when the numbers are decoded the answer is All your O are belong to us.So the logo has the O in Google beamed up to the spaceship. It may also be because this is the anniversary of the Voyager 1 launch on Sept 5,1977. I believe Voyager is still travelling through space. Wikipedia can explain All your base are belong to us and Voyager 1
And they probably finished buying up all the URL versions of Google including Go_gle. Now all the O’s in Google belong to us(Google)
