Nah I don't think 2012 can be alien war.
2012 is not something like y2k and so on, it's not a modern idea.
2012 is when the 5th cycle ends in the Aztec / Mayan / Olmec calendar.
According to them earth and mankind has been created and destroyed 4 times in the 4 cycles preceeding this one. (cyclical view of time)
Each time man was created in a different way, and each time he was ultimately dissaproved off by the gods and destroyed. Interestingly though, the
previous cycle was ended by a great flood that covered the Earth (sound familiar?

)
The ones before were destroyed by fire and some other things I don't know of the top of my head.
So who knows, maybe scientists are all wrong and a weather change like the one in the fictional movie Day After Tomorrow is possible and this will
happen around 2012, I think ice is the one thing that hasn't happened yet to end the other 4 cycles. But I doubt it
You could ofcourse exchange the word gods with aliens, so then yeah a war might start and ehm.. they will freeze us to death, (or burn, but that would
be highly unoriginal of them because they did that already in a previous cycle

)
I don't know if they wrote anything about what would happen when man would be approved of instead of disapproved. I suspect that's were the hopeful
idea of conciousness change/enlightenment came from.
Though I highly doubt if the Mayan etc. beliefs are reality that this version of mankind would be approved of, all in all we're still pretty petty
and vile. (war, egocentric society, the list goes on. no point in denying it. The dark side of mankind's 'medallion' is a lot larger then the light
side. We still have much to learn. On to the next version :lol
Footnote.
Apart from explaining where the date came from and what the original idea behind it is, most of what i wrote wasn't meant really serious, don't fuss
up about anything.

I think your view of the calendar is a bit off.
It's not prophetic the way Nostradamus' writings seem to be.
You won't find names and such in it.
It deals with cyclical time (as such is slightly prophetic but not with human things like which important king will die during a tournament)
The scale is much larger, cosmic events, the heavens, nature. Ultimately the gods and time is what they were interested in. The smaller cycles deal
with the usual, when the best time is to plant crops e.g.
You simply won't find anything that would relate to e.g. 9/11 as a world changing event or ww2. A ww2 did not necessarily happen in any of the 4
previous cycles/versions of earth. Humans in the previous cycle would not necessarily look human to us, we are the first apelike human. I think fish
were the first cycle. The gods pick a different source to create a human from every time.

The reply and quote below:
21st of december is only if you fullheartily trust in the translation to our calendar. A mistake or oversight anywhere in the history of our calendars
or in translations of the various calendars we had over time and theirs and it won't be the 21st. or 2012 persay. I see headlines about date
corrections too often to just accept 21st december 2012 like that.
The calendar does not end on 2012
There will simply start a new cycle. (which might end us, but not the calendar. It would simply be proven the correct view on time if something really
ends this and a new cycle begins but we won't be here anymore to enjoy the fact of the calendar being proven correct.)
There were 4 cycles before the current one, and there might be numerous others untill the end of time itself. Will we, the current incarnation of
mankind, be in those future cycles? That's another matter.
