Slashdot Mirror

However, none of the explanations given by the SOHO folks so far seem to account for the image in this article. That streak isn't perfectly straight. Possible explanations that I can come up with are: the whole image is just a fake, a cosmic ray that "bounced" off a nucleus, something close to the camera lens that bounced off the glass, or the image of a star or planet taken while the satellite was maneuvering. Someone who knows space imaging and these kinds of cameras should present a credible argument on what the real reason is.

Again, I don't believe in extraterrestrial visitors. But, on the other hand, I think asking for a specific, plausible explanation for each individual imaging artifact is valid: these are scientific instruments, and if they show such effects, one should be able to account for them 100%.

I was wondering when Slashdot itself would post a link rebutting Euroseti's pseudoscience. What's a wonder to me is that Slashdot didn't update the article by adding a link to here when this comment pointed it out.

Quoth this article :
"I think it's absolutely irrefutable that this couldn't be anything other than a machine. It's an astonishing picture."

See that? Absolutely irrefutable! So just give up the debate! This man is obviously an extremely smart scientist. How else could he be so absolutely sure?

Somehow I think there might be another explanation:

News story

Reviews: 1,2,3,4 That last one lets you submit your own review. Pretty cool.

Hmm lets see:

Man threatened in own home with gun

HELP POLICE CAPTURE GUNMAN

Tower block gun terror

England has worst crime rate in world

These are all UK stories. Would you like me to going I have over fifty of them just for the past month(you can find them here by searching for UK), or have I ruined you little puppies and snowflakes view of the world enough for one day?

You mean the one that murdered the men, women and children at Waco and Ruby Ridge? Or the one that shot down twa flight 800 and covered it up? Or maybe the one that still arrests people for marijuana possesion in states that have decriminalized/legalized it for medical use? Umm, maybe you mean the one that invented the "incident" in the Gulf of Tonkin to drag us into the vietnam war? Or the one that let the FBI infiltrate protest groups in the '60s, subverting their rights to free speach? Wait, you mean the government that setup this phony war in Afghanistan, so we can build an oil pipline?

You talk about the loss of rights under the constitution. You must not have read the PATRIOT act, which schreds what little there was left of the bill of rights. With its passage you lose the right to trial by jury, the right to be free from illegal searches and seisures, the right to confront your accusor in court, and the right to criticize the government.

Heres an idea for you, turn off MSNBC/CNN/Fox News and look at some news sources that aren't run by and for the government propaganda machine.

Personally, I hope to be ready when the rest of America wakes up and decides its time to throw off the chains we've put ourselves in.

What I'm saying is that these extremists want us dead and our society destroyed. And there is absolutely nothing we can peacefully do, politically or otherwise, to change that. There is no reasoning with these extremists because their end goal is the complete and utter destruction of our (re: most average Americans') way of life.

Oh, and as far as military action in the Middle East for centuries goes...don't forget war amongst the tribes, fueding warlords, etc, etc. It ins't just the West that's been fighting there.

If there were effective alternatives to forcefully protecting ourselves, then I'd love to hear them.

And just what is the West trying to accomplish in Afghanistan?

But, you can make it clear to other nations that a given government will not be allowed to exist if said government either turns a blind eye to terrorists operating in its borders or, even worse, endorses and supports terrorists.
