If they're done by satellites (which I find more plausible than a couple of geysers with two-by-fours) then the purpose would be to gain ultimate control of the people. Create a hoax, let the suspense build, then say it's aliens doing it, and if we don't do as they say, the aliens have threatened to destroy us.... in probably more words than that. I imagine that most people in the world would be gullible enough to believe such a story. Then the real scientists and intellectuals would become what UFOlogists are now -- that wild and crazy bunch that can't get a grip on reality.
