NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic Hunt


WASHINGTON -- NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

To participate in the teleconference, reporters must contact the Chandra Press Office at 617-496-7998 or e-mail mwatzke@cfa.harvard.edu. Live audio of the teleconference will be streamed online at:

www.nasa.gov...


A video file about the discovery will air on NASA Television on May 14. NASA TV is carried on an MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz, vertical polarization. NASA TV is available in Alaska and Hawaii on AMC-7 at 137 degrees west longitude, transponder 18C, at 4060 MHz, horizontal polarization.

hopefully its not an earthbound asteroid lol

wow, that sounds cool! I wonder what it could be... Maybe they've finally found a wormhole so now we can travel to the other side of the galaxy? Or maybe it's proof of that old medieval opinion that earth really is the center of the solar system...

anyways, great find! I've made a note in my agenda!

oh,and I'm sorry,but you're never allowed to post again,cos your points thingy is at 303,and that's "my" number. Then this will turn out to be something proper big. Mods,close the account!! (I'm joking btw)

Lets Play The Guess Game.

I Think They Found A Wormhole


or maybe is this www.canada.com...

Is there any reason they're waiting until the 14th May to tell us what it is? If they already have the information then why not just divulge it now?!

Ohhh, unless they have some pictures that need to go through the NASA airbrusing department first..

They said it's something they've been looking for for 50 years. I'm guessing it would be another planet.

Or... some cosmological explanation for a phenomena they haven't developed a complete theory for yet.

That's my guess.

I think it's a galactic McDonald's and they've sold over 500,000,000,000 hamburgers to galactic fleets and regular alien customers.

Could be a black hole?

whatever it is, for NASA to announce it publicly would mean that they have known about it for atleast 10 years I'd say and even sent expeditions of either robots or astronauts to explore it, and Id say its the suns dark twin, aka Planet X that heats up and becomes somewhat alive the closer it gets to our sun....but thats just me.

Common sense, reason and logic tells you that this information they are going to release is important to only a very small, minor segment of the population (scientist, astronomers, nerds) and concerns something that is not very important. So any speculation concerning this release being something huge is born from ignorance of how things work and the inability to use common sense.

As far as the guy who said something to the effect of "why wait, can't they release it now if its so important?" That statment is too born of ignorance concerning the scientific and media community, and if you settle down, think for a moment, it will be clear to you why they do it in this manner.

If I need to explain further, plain and simple, your a reason the UFO community is looked upon as outcast weirdos who will believe anything and see a conspiracy in everything. You guys propagate this stereotype with reckless abandon, and ruin the only hope of actually finding out more because you play into the hand that feeds so to speak.

Sorry to be so blunt, but its reality. Continue to scream about things of which you have no clue, while making reckless guesses based on your ignorance, and the only thing you do is help to ensure that this subject remains fodder for casual humor.

Naturally, most people on this site are going to guess that it's something to do with Planet X. lol

Hopefully, Richard C. Hoagland will appear on C2C tonight and offer some possibilities for this finding.

sorry mate, i am a geek, this is way too exciting for me, is like a sugar rush.

I thought I was onto a pretty good theory but after some researching, it turned out that Jimmy Hoffa didn't actually disappear until 1975.

Whatever it is, they would have been looking since sometime before 1958.

I was actually asking a question because I DON'T KNOW why dates are given as to when information will be released. When you don't know the answer to something you ask a question right? I don't think it warranted a response like that!!

After all, mainstream news isn't kept from the public until a certain date is it, that's my point, if they have news then why not release it? Please do enlighten me and all the other 'ignorant' people that may ask the same question...

I'm guessing they have found... a DVD of 50 years of NASA available to buy at your local stores or online. Or perhaps a limited edition commemorative Book, signed by Neil Armstrong et al - what better way to celebrate 50 glorious years (NASA was established on July 29, 1958)

Where's me chequebook?
