ET Phone Home?

Is there other life out there? Something swung near by for a visit recently. It's path, speed, etc is something yet to be observed. Unfortunately, it continued on it's way, and I think the data was studied after the pass by. If unnatural, maybe an alien probe that detected us, got a little closer, and saw us as knuckle draggers who were not ready for contact? This observation gets it's own place on the shelf, if i read this correctly. I should also mention that it accelerated after it's perigee with Earth, and it concluded, "no intelligent life"?

Interesting link. I personally think we are not alone, the odds of us being the only game in the universe are astronomical (pun). I have followed/studied the extraterrestrial/UFO phenomenon for a long time. Even had a sighting of something I can only explain as "not ours".

Of course if they narrowed their scan beam to the D.C. area then they certainly would move on!

Rama?

If it's Rama, we missed the rendezvous! Probably for the best.

Two more will follow.

Well what we need now is a big old SPACE WALL! That will keep the aliens out....someone please share this idea with "That man in the White House".

I just started re-reading that series yesterday-next will be "Cities in Flight" and then the Retief or BOLOS.

We are cave people and Ummagumma is a big cigar shaped rock. Remember Star Trek First Contact? The passing Vulcan ship was about to leave when Zephraim Cochran launched his experimental warp drive ship, a converted ICBM, and the Vulcans landed to investigate. If you noticed the looks on their faces they found Americans disgusting but tolerable, learn how to act Japanese and they'll warm up a bit. Maybe by the time science figures out a way to warp space-time and generate enough energy to do it with a contained matter/antimatter reaction the gods will return. They may return sooner if we'd stop shooting at them!

I worked at a company that made radio transmitters that looked like gravel. Those are little rocks, i guess.
