Wow. You mean that the Russians should attempt to have failures of ICBMs. That's the nuttiest idea yet. I retract that. Thinking that the Norway
spiral was something other than the failure of an ICBM is much nuttier.
Finding out that someone thinks that there are a small number of gods in religions is weird. The Egyptians had all sorts of gods and even local
deities. Deities get borrowed from religions. Who'd a thunk it?
I just relayed what was written in the Washinton Post. If you don't like it, well, tough cookies.
Who do you think I'm going to listen to?
A. Over a thousand emails, posts, Myspace, Facebook, and Youtube messages, from people who agree with my presentation...
or
B. Some half cocked nitwit close minded forum flamer who spends his life on conspiracy forums trying to prove himself right?
I "Think" you "May" just be smart enough to figure out the answer to that.

Orbiting Eye Reveals Mystery Space
Monster
By Thomas O'Toole, Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 30, 1983 ; Page A13
A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been
found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite.
So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby "protostar" that never got hot enough to become
a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light
cast by its stars ever gets through.
"All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is," Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS chief scientist for California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology, said in an interview.
The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or in
space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet as large as Jupiter and as close to Earth as 50 billion miles. While that may seem like a great distance
in earthbound terms, it is a stone's throw in cosmological terms, so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the
outermost planet Pluto.
"If it is really that close, it would be a part of our solar system," said Dr. James Houck of Cornell University's Center for Radio Physics and
Space Research and a member of the IRAS science team. "If it is that close, I don't know how the world's planetary scientists would even begin
to classify it."
The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of
the supercold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first
and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time.
