This is old news, but interesting. Goes to show you we don't know it all. In fact we probably don't know much considering the scope of the universe.

BTW I think Hoagland said something about this and his own personal physics. What did he call it?? Hyperdimensional physics or something??

With his space ship in the rings of Saturn?

sigh

Sometimes I can really go along with Hoagland, but other times its just too far out there to be of any real use. His theory that all the astronauts that went to the moon encountered a large glass dome over a particular crater.... and the reason they cant remember it is because they had their minds 'messed with' upon return.

I mean, wed all love to buy into this stuff, but we have out sanity to consider.

Hoag trying to take credit for the ships in the rings now? Think [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Norman Bergrun is the father of that idea. I hear Hoag plagarizes and was just wondering. [/FONT]

Actually no, now you mention it Hoagland was just referencing the Ringmakers of Saturn.

Thanks for reminding me as I want to check out that book. For a laugh if nothing else.

Actually I may be confusing Lear for Hoagland. I think it was Lear that was talking about it.

...those hooded beings we hear of occasionally have mentioned that their base is set up on Saturn's North Pole.
 
It's weird. I built one of those Spiricom devices, and it reminds me of the tone generator from the spiricom when a so called spirit speaks into it.

What should be done, is that they should run it through sound forge, slow it down, and increase the tonal range. I would wager it would sound even more like speech when all was said and done.
 
Ummmmm, has anyone seen this photo??

It is featured as Astronomy Photo of the Day, today. Thought it would fit perfectly in this thread. Wow comes to mind. Awesome image.

How long before this is a giant banner hanging out at Enterprise Mission??

It's very cool all right...first the hexagon, then the bizarre aurora thingy.
Part of me wants this all to be artificial, but the dominant part keeps reminding me that Saturn's a gas giant, so we're not talking about structures on a planetary surface, and in any case this is absolutely huge, as in "Earth-dwarfing".
But even if it does, as expected, turn out to be the product of extremely freaky gas giant weather/atmospheric effects or something like that, it's enough of an unknown that finding out the cause of it is going to advance human knowledge in all sorts of unexpected ways. Which is nifty.

And it's all very pretty.
