      We would not even need to detect it through Gravity. Fact is we would be able to detect it through light occlusion. Simply through the fact that an asteroid of that size would occlude light from stars and the like it passes in front of. So we would not even need gravity sensors......

      @muhname6052 yea there's no easy humans would fall for that so easily. The alien were warning is about it. Meaning they knew where it was and how to detect. So our very first response would have been "If we can't detect it but you apparently can, show it to us."

      To save your children from a world-ending event, you would believe anything. They came to earth with superior tech and firepower, with the ability to just take our children from our dead hands if they pleased, but they took the diplomatic path. They answered all our questions with reason and understanding, not anger or threats. Makes sense they would have tricked most of the world.
      Also makes the ending more realistic. Next stop, the xeno home planet with more insecticide…

    An excellent story that kept me guessing the whole time! One thought that occurred to me, however, was that if the aliens were so advanced, and understood our history and psychology, then why did they not approach us in a more trustworthy manner? If they knew how we worked and they actually cared about us, then that is how they would have done things. So the fact that they did not approach us in a more acceptable way made me highly suspicious.
