NEW YORK, NY—After billions of years of traveling through space, alien technology finally arrived Monday to destroy the Earth.

"We have been waiting for this moment for a long time," said U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who was informed of the impending alien attack by an aide who received a message from an orbiting satellite.

"It is almost here."

The alien technology is expected to obliterate all life on Earth within minutes.
