Earlier this month, an object called WT1190F​ was spotted on a trajectory that will bring it right to Earth. It came here from far beyond the moon, and its hollow nature and cylindrical shape suggest that it's human-made and not an asteroid or meteorite. It won't cause any major problems on the ground, but there's still something troubling: Astronomers don't know what the heck it is, or why it's only now coming up on their radar.


I especially like the name of the object, and I for one welcome our new WT1190F overlords.

But in all seriousness, it probably won't be aliens. No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life than seeing aliens in every object in the sky.

I'm more worried about all these people seeing floating cities.
And scientists finding large objects orbiting a star, at the other end of the milky way.

Welcome to Fantasy 40k

If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.

Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

Some weird things going on.
Astronomers may have found giant alien 'megastructures' orbiting star near the Milky Way
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/forget-water-on-mars-astronomers-may-have-just-found-giant-alien-megastructures-orbiting-a-star-near-a6693886.html
A star identified by the Kepler Space Telescope may harbour structures which could point to an advanced technological civilization

A large cluster of objects in space look like something you would "expect an alien civilization to build", astronomers have said.

Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish a report on the “bizarre” star system - suggesting the objects could be a “swarm of megastructures”.

He told The Independent: "I can’t figure this thing out and that’s why it’s so interesting, so cool – it just doesn’t seem to make sense."

Speaking to The Atlantic, Mr Wright said: "Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilisation to build. I was fascinated by how crazy it looked."

Yeah, it's almost like the sounds were recorded separately from the footage...or something.

Hiding behind terrain

While on the topic of weird sounds, there's been a loud boom in the sky going off in 2 hour intervals around Craigmore, South Australia for the last month or so. Happens in random directions night and day. Some even sounded like they came from almost directly underground a couple of times.The booms are of varying loudness and some rattle the house but the odd thing is that the shaking doesn't always correspond with the loud ones.

I just assumed it was someones homebrew or methlab blowing up at first but its been continuous and started being in every direction after the first week. Never see anything when outside when the booms goes off either.
