Blog spam but still loved it. But I needed to know.... thermal blanket?

Yes. There is no such thing as this supposed object, there are no little green men orbiting earth. The whole thing is just the stuff of paranoid delusions with no basis in fact.

May as well go read your horoscope now, just as factual.


Conspiracy theories are a legitimate art form IMO.

Just like many religious places of worship are part horoscopes but also part art.

Learn to love the art. Unlike mass religions this at least is fun and shouldn't start a war!


Sure, but it isn't worthy of serious debate when it's so readily debunked. There are plenty of man-made objects in orbit which apparently don't exist, but are regularly spotted. A more interesting discussion would be "what are the PAN satellites for?".


Given that amateur satellite watchers can take pictures like this: (http://www.wired.com/2016/06/backyard-detectives-search-for-...) of spy satellites, finding something that comes with 131 miles of the surface every 104 minutes should be doable.


Erm... the last video says that it is... 13000 years old? How do they know this?


Because... aliens


They don't. It's made up.


Well but even if you want to li... fantasize, you have to give some "credible" input as how you know that.

Dunno, that you were in a reptilian press conference and you heard that there. Something.

Even to li... fantasize, you have to know how.


I didn't say it was made up well. :) Most of this garbage turns out to be as incoherent.
