Event, or no event? Which is it? Also, UFO intervention for 2016/2017??

So you posit a continuum or continuity between this density and the next? Rather than a disjointed or discontinuous experience. An evolutionary transition, instead of an abrupt end of one world and an equally abrupt beginning of a new world beginning from a totally clean slate.

Ra does speak of "discrete" boundaries, but it makes sense to me that, as you say, third-density conditions would start becoming fourth-density conditions. Perhaps making a quantum leap somewhere in there, but the fourth-density experience would have carryover from third density.

Q'uo shared a similar perspective earlier this year . . .

Yep, that's pretty much exactly how I see things happening. Or, at least, if there is a discontinuity, it's only going to happen once we're fully prepared for it by having already arrived at a state where the population at large is ready for a major quasi-instantaneous shift. Quo's comparison to the shift from 2D to 3D seems especially apt. We know it happened, in retrospect, but there's no way for us (as humans) to pinpoint exactly when\how it happened. At one point in the past, there was no higher-level intelligence to speak of, then self-awareness happened.

(Yes, someone could point to the rather devastating extinction of the dinosaurs as being part of the transition, but even then, tens of millions of years passed between their deaths and the rise of intelligence, suggesting a tenuous link at best.)

I tend to think that ideas there's going to be some sort of massive epoch-ending event are largely based in lingering Abrahamic theology, ideas of the "rapture" or "apocalypse" or whatnot. But I honestly don't believe it would be that dramatic, in part specifically because it would be so traumatic for whoever was still on Earth when the changeover occurred.

Plus, we've seen other "night and day" changeovers just in humanity's own history. The switch from being hunter-gatherers to cultivated agriculture. The rise of the City-State, supplanting the tribe. Then the Renaissance, and the massive societal changes in the West that took place in "just" a couple hundred years, thanks to widespread literacy and easy information-sharing reshaping the culture. So I see our current Information Age as basically being a new Renaissance, one that's changing the societal landscape even more quickly/radically than other paradigm shifts in the past... and being the one I believe is, as Quo said, "preparing the soil" for 4th Density thought patterns.

And likewise, I believe that by the year 2100 or so, attitudes of the 19th/20th Century will likely seem as foreign as medieval life now seems to us.
