No my friend not a bird of prey...
that is Caldari Merlin class Frigate go Caldari

no...seriously, what ever it is , it looks fascinating...

It looks an awful lot like the Destiny from stargate SGU...

Second sci-fi line...

The most peculiar thing about this photo is that little ball on the left tip. I find that REALLY strange, especially considering it's overall shape.

If anyone buys that b.s. excuse of two asteroids colliding into one another, needs to wake up!

That shape is "designed" and "meaningful." It's symmetrical properties are the second thing I find peculiar about it.

It's weird looking to most, but most of NASA's attention grabbing photos are . There has been a lot of developments lately in space, and this is one of them, It's not your alien brother, it's just man's growing understanding of the universe we live in.

How can you get all that from 3 white pixels? For all you know it could be a very bright (and big) TV flying through space... it would appear the same in that photograph. Or just a big chunk of debris from a comet collision.

I still can't believe it is a ship though.

They said that it speed was something like 11.000 MPH,that may seem fast but in space thats almost a standstill

our rockets go faster then that.
But what it could be

Nah I think I will go with NASA on this and say it's a lump of splattered space rock. I don't think NASA would ever show us anything really interesting "it angry's up the blood"

Looks very much the image was captured just as the asteroid broke into pieces.

so which direction were they going when they hit?


i can't figure that out.

seems like it's going right to left but the X looks like it's trailing all the stuff.

would it keep that shape?

NASA publishes a photo of a suspected asteroid collision, the first time such an event has been imaged. They make suggestions as to how such an event might happen. Many ATS members however don't believe anything NASA says and suspect this is actually an image of something more exotic, something 'alien'.
The question I would pose is why would NASA publish such an image in the first place? Why pretend it's something 'natural'? What is NASA's motive in publishing 'alien' material and pretending it's not? Why not withold such images and just dish out the mundane stuff? Have I got the wrong mind set? I don't get it.

Caldari FTW...
Ill shieldtank anything LOL...

I didn't mean your comment specifically. There's at least one other thread on this where several posters suggest something more exotic/alien than NASA's explanation. It's that general viewpoint I find disingenuous.
