I'm very curious as to the stance of China as per the contents of those cases. Was in an ultimatum? A good will gesture? A report back to the west on what their satellites would have already picked up in the Great Wall (indication cooperation at those levels)? A warning with evidence provided? All of the above?

While we are waiting for more information on this crucial aspect of it all (imo), I'd like to summarise what I consider likely to be key news items:

first there was ...
- several UFO sightings - reported in the State run media
- China's "Carl Sagan" goes public from his observatory and says UFOs are real
- more State media reported UFOs, including several airport disruptions
- escalating tensions between Japan and China over 'fishing trawler captain'

- then we hear from OP/GF that Japan received one of the timelocked briefcases - indicating a sudden change/reversal in the Japan-China relationship maybe?

- more UFOs being reported across China, more airport disruptions. all reported to the Chinese

- October 13th - briefcases opened; We look at the meagre crumbs of info, and from amongst them we conclude there is a special gene in certain Chinese asiatic genetic groupings that will be reacting differently to some anticipated stimulus or event, which is seemingly connected to the people/aliens who are controlling the organism. Etc Etc Etc. We are still speculating about whether its all good, bad, or just ugly for us mere mortals.

then all of a sudden, we see:
- reports of some sort of purge within the Chinese ruling structure
- the heads of NASA all suddenly get up and go to China for meetings
- the heads of all the worlds major financial institutions do the same
- the sudden stop to a looming currency and trade war by the west with China
- more evidence of some sort of 'social transformation' being effected (see news item above about the psychological assessments required for officials)

stay tuned I guess ...
