Vlarek told me he wasn’t gonna allow the thing to hit earth. If Vlarek says it, it must be true. I’ll take Vlarek’s word, science has nothing on aliens.

Damon said,

“I take it you have photo/video evidence of the meteor exploding above Tungusksa, Phil?”

There is photo evidence of the after effects and physical evidence to this day that an explosion did occur. And there have been many calculations and simulations made that would explain how an asteroid entering our atmosphere (an event that has been repeatedly recorded and measured) could cause such an explosion.

If you don’t think it was a meteor, then please provide the evidence you have that would explain it.

Oh, and since Phil’s post was filed under “humor,” please feel free to get a sense of one.

I for one welcome our self-terminating alien overlords!

No?

I rest my case. Feel free to drop the smarmy attitude.

Now that you mention it, the piece in the Reader’s Digest was a condensation of “The Fire Came By”.

John Paradox @67: I had that book, too, in the course of the many years I spent familiarizing myself with all the major UFO literature and reporting. The spacecraft hypothesis always seemed much less plausible than a simple comet impact, and the book didn’t even propose a very good scenario for how any possible star drive would yield a thermonuclear explosion in the event of a crash. That ship never would have gotten past OSHA!

As for this new deliberate collision idea: if the visitors commanded the energies needed to get all the way here, couldn’t they accelerate something besides their own craft at the object?

@JB of Brisbane:

I recall reading (in my callous youth) a book, I believe it was THE FIRE CAME BY, about the same claims. It was one of the many things that drove me to skepticism.

I remember reading a piece in an old Reader’s Digest (now THERE’S a reputable source) claiming that the object was in fact an alien spaceship crashing down to Earth. The explosion was supposed to have been from the ship’s propulsion system, on the basis of “it was too big (at a yield of about 30 megatons) to have been anything but nuclear”, I think. Also, from patterns of destruction on the ground from the shock wave, it was determined that the object changed course just before the final explosion, and, as we all knew then, “Meteors don’t change course”.
My take from this was, if it was an alien spaceship, it is the only one documented ever to have obeyed the laws of physics.

Charlie98 wrote (in part): “What’s with the irrational fear of Fox News?”

More like rational distaste.

Charlie98 wrote (in part): Just because they don’t bow to the big O?

No, because they don’t bow to the facts. What they present often contains misinformation. Like that “Alien Autopsy” piece they ran a few years back.

“The bizarre paranoid racist hysteria (black men with clubs? really? I think you forgot to mention how they steal our precious white women) that considers white hetero fundie males not being allowed to oppress others as white hetero fundie males being oppressed, that is unable to argue a political point with reason or facts and so refers to deranged dystopias dreamed up by some kind of white supremacist group instead, that would make General Jack D. Ripper and his fears about the tainting of our precious bodily fluids’ essence with fluoride in the water supply look positively reasonable.”

I ran this through the Camino translate function but all I get is gibberish.
