So, It's Underwater. Oh... I Get It.

Jan 29th, 2012

Look, whatever is lying at the bottom of the Baltic Sea is not the Millennium Falcon. Maybe it is some old Russian warships. Maybe it is an odd cluster of petrified wood. Maybe it's, well, nothing. However, the story that a very large and spherical object has been spotted at the bottom of those murky depths and awaits closer scrutiny has taken the internet by storm.

This got me thinking...

We are several thousand years passed the supposed weeping of Alexander for lack of "worlds to conquer."

We seem to need, as a species, undiscovered country. Newness. Strange and uplifting wonder. There has to be more in the shadows or the shadows lose there meaning.

So. Fire away, engage in fantastic conjecture and, above all else, enjoy.

SETI DIDN'T Set It Off

UPDATE: Keeping track of this "news" is just too good to pass up. Of course, it is likely a hoax.

Earlier, we posted the particularly hard to believe Examiner story about the "approach to the Earth of 3 very large, very fast moving objects." We were pretty sure it sounded too good to be true. Now comes this from Wikileaksufo (ironically, an equally hard to trust or verify source):

"Allow me to point out that anything that was so far away that it wouldn’t arrive for another two years would not be visible at that size. For that matter, there are many things on the moon that are about a kilometer in size that our telescopes can’t make out and the moon is right in our cosmic backyard."
