Hi everyone.
I and my co-workers tend to browse this site very often. I don't think there has been a week were something from here has not been a topic of conversation.
I hope to be able to inform you people of something very important very soon. This is amazing news from an astronomical perspective that we've just begun tracking. So for you amateur astronomers on the site, a very interesting surprise is in the works. I hope to announce this information to our favorite website (here) some hours before the official public release.
And yes... it's good to finally be a member.

I truly hope (for your sake) that you have some truly extraordinary information for us. We have had many in the past make claims such as this in an introduction that turned out to be a simple troll.
I'm not accusing you just don't want to see you run off the site on a rail.
Enjoy your stay and I look forward to reading your info!
edit:
Hmm, after re-reading I'll make my guess.
It's a new Comet. (newly observed anyway)

Okay... I can say a little more as the official release is being prepared for tomorrow.
An unexpected "near-earth" fly-by of a medium-sized newly observed "object" will occur at the end of this month. Official dates/times and observation details will be provided on our site (link coming shortly). There's no danger to us other than sore necks from what is shaping up to be an amazing light show like nothing ever seen before.
More data coming soon. We're still finalizing our calculations.
