Space X rocket and a UFO

Forums New posts

Free episodes:

Hipster time travelers yacking on their phones when they shouldn't. Now they will return to the research facility and not know anyone there except their old boss, who is now the janitor. The man will glare at them with a deep contempt that confuses him. Bastards.
 
My pet theory ( not necessarily the one I think is true ) is a Zuckerberg planned the whole thing to collect the insurance money.
 
pet theory, that's a good term for my thinking of Jack Ma . i sort of want it to be the answer but it's a reach.
 
Who is jack ma? What is his role in this? What is the object that flew over the rocket? What role if any did said object have in the explosion?

I was just riffing BUT think about this China is vying with the US for influence. In Africa .Zuckerberg's initiative would have brought the internet (and Facebook) to over 40 million pairs of eyes on the continent. With Mark's enterprise temporarily (?) out of commission the Chinese could jump the line and push Renren (Chinese facebook) and Weibo (Chinese Twitter) instead of the American counterparts. Jack Ma has a 30% stake in Weibo and made no secret of wanting to be a media maven like Rupert Murdoch. Also I believe the explosion scuttled some kind of deal that the Israelis had with a another Chinese communications firm.

Although for all I know the Chinese may already have Africa covered but this was the first thing that I thought off when I saw that video as just the day before the explosion I read an article on Ma that talked about his ambitions.

Industrial sabotage from an evil Chinese billionaire eh ... hmm. I like it! But I'm sticking with Zuckerberg going for the insurance money ;-)

"Facebook and Eutelsat had a contract to lease the AMOS-6 satellite for $95 million over 5 years, according to SpaceNews. That article also reported that the contract required Spacecom to purchase an insurance policy "covering project-related risks that would not otherwise be covered by Spacecom's own insurance policy covering the satellite's launch and first year in orbit."​
 
Ufology.. of all here I thought you would be the one to look into the core of the topic. I will ask again.. what is in your opinion is the object that flew over the space x rocket? What role did it play in the explosion?

Bird? Drone? CGI? How are we supposed to know? I tend to not have opinions on things about which I haven't a clue. Not everyone can stand to let mysteries be mysteries until some actual facts appear, though. I'm sure you could find lots of opinions on some other forum, if that is what you want. ATS would no doubt be a rich source of uninformed ones along with all the other irrational crap that place swims in.

Anyway, you can bet your boots there is a thorough investigation underway, and we'll hear something sooner or later. Conspiracy heads will then just reflexively dispute it, as usual. Myself, I'm more interested in just what this setback means for space travel and such. If aliens are tampering with our efforts, they are very capable of hiding that fact so chasing shadows is pretty futile. Some of us have managed to learn something from the past 70 years of effort on the part of ufologists. Again, I salute those who have done the hard work and reaped such meager rewards.

Interesting video. If it's real.
