This song is actually based on an incident back on the 15th of March 1953 called World Contact Day on 3pm PST.

It was set up by an Albert K Bender who ran an organization called The International Flying Saucer Bureau that was dedicated to finding out the truth behind 'Flying Saucers'.

The lyrics in this song are actual words that the members were sending out telepathically to the aliens.

After that, Bender claims to have been contacted by aliens who told him to stop trying to discover the truth behind the UFOs.

In the end, Bender shut down the International Flying Saucer Bureau and eventually released a book on it called Flying Saucers and the Three Men. (Who were supposedly the first Men in Black.)
