Do you believe in UFO's?

A research scientist at UT Austin recently, as in last night,
observed this while shooting a messier object.
It is definitely not an airplane, else it would have drowned out
the relatively few photons reaching Earth from M5. He thinks
it might be a satellite, but if so it is a damned slow and odd looking
one. Zoddy says is must be "glare", but the resolution is so fine,
remember we are viewing M5 that is an invisible pinpoint of
light when viewed by eye. So what is it?

Could it be some sort of Halo-Bop thingy hurdling toward a planetary body for impact somewhere? Asteroid remnants? Comets headed toward the observable field?

The prospect of viewing the invasion fleet in transit is not a comforting notion.

Ah, you worry too much. Hey, worst case scenario, you could always use Scion as a meatshield against the alien laserbeams and such....

Have you guys seen the old Johnny Caron shows. On one of the shows a guest explained the origin of the term "UFO".

He said that durring WWII, there was a group of fighter jets flying over the general area of Roswell New Mexico for some flight training. All of a sudden, this big huge spaceship comes flying into thier path with lights blinking and such. And on of the pilots says: "Hey **U! F*** O**!"

Hi Diemex,Welcome Back!
I have noticed that website seems to get taken offline on
weekends. Try it again on Monday. Next time the site is
up I will copy the picture to another site so it won't go away
again.
