: BURPSS ''are'' a crazy and eccentric fringe group, and this is completely regardless of whether the existence of aliens is no longer common knowledge. In ''The Vault of Secrets'', Haresh, who knows that aliens exist, pointed that out to Gita when she joined them. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] 15:09, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

:: One possibility is that the Cybermen from the future inadvertently undid the events of ''The Tenth Planet'' by destroying Mondas before it arrived in 1986. We know that somehow, the non-time-traveling Cybermen of ''The Invasion'', during the UNIT era, knew about ''The Tenth Planet''. We also know that time-traveling Cybermen made at least one attempt to destroy the Earth to save Mondas, from ''Attack of the Cybermen'' (''Earthshock'' might have given them the idea). In fact, ''Attack'' implies that the reason the TARDIS happened to go off-course and arrive on Earth in 1985 is that the Time Lords were fed up with the Cybermen meddling with history.

:: Still, you're right that it was never explained on-camera or off. Why did the Moff refer to Nessie in the Thames, but not Mondas in the sky? Well, most likely because he just didn't remember that story. There are probably others that are hard to sweep under the rug that Moffat didn't think of. Of course that's the virtue of not giving us an itemized list of which stories were and weren't erased, and just saying that anything that would make most humans believe in aliens is gone. But the cracks don't explain how ''The Tenth Planet'' in 1986 was forgotten by ''Silver Nemesis' in 1988. --[[Special:Contributions/99.40.53.116|99.40.53.116]] 10:02, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
