UFO Crash Russia

    Story: Dont know if this has been posted yet
    AN UNIDENTIFIED METAL object has fallen from the sky over Siberia, sparking much speculation about what it is and where it may have come from.
    The Russian Federal Space Agency has denied ownership of the object, stating: “The object is not a rocket or a spacecraft, but in final conclusions can only be drawn once it is examined.”
    Russia Today said local media reports were speculating on whether the object is a piece of space debris of the fuel tank of a ballistic rocket.
    The metal cylinder has tested negative for radiation and appears to be at least partially made from a titanium alloy.
    Investigations are continuing.

    There is that much space junk up there, its getting much harder to launch rockets, with or without humans inside.
    Its bound to happen that this stuff falls back down. Most will burn up (thankfully) but the biggest ones such as this, will somehow make it to earth in some form.

    Just remember to look up to the skies once in a while - else your doomed!
    At the very least, your going to wake up dead with a hell of a headache! :D

    If we offer up Jedward for anal probing they might leave the rest of us alone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Apparently it's not space related. Probably a hoax or a vodka container that got blasted into the sky by an explosion.

    Once it's examined? If it has engines it's a ship, if not it's space rubbish.

    In Soviet Russia, UFO find you.

    I'm surprised that the country's roaming scrap thieves haven't managed to find their way up there yet, but they will, one day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    Couldn't have come off an aircraft flying overhead no? Those Russian arliners are in tip-top shape after all..

    Edit: Just seen the size of it, maybe not.

    UFO = Unidentified Flying Object

    It's not 'unidentified' because they have it.

    It wasn't 'flying', it's described to have 'fallen'

    It's an 'object'.

    So it's not a UFO

    Have the metal. It's not as if this was flying around the sky and nobody knew what it was. They have it...they'll test it. It wasn't flying and it can't be described as unidentified. It's simply a piece of metal. Asking 'if it a UFO' is simply a loaded phrase for the conspiracy theorist and general loser.

    Thanks for changing the definition to suit a pathetic agenda.

    Louis Walshe has subjected Jedward to vigourous anal probing already. I assume aliens won't want sloppy seconds.

    Unidentified - they have absolutely no idea what it is yet, so it's still unidentified.
    Flying - it fell, yes, but at one point it was flying. How else would it have gotten up there?
    Object - well, it's an object.

    So, yes, it's a UFO.


  • Registered Users Posts: 108 ✭✭Gunnerkid


    We have dedicated professional people now looking into it :D:

    So after your comprehensive analysis, we still end up with a UFO.

    'Flying' is, again, a loaded phrase.
    It will be identified, it was found.

    If a UFO hits the ground, how can you call it a UFO if it has stopped flying?

    It's NOT a UFO (loaded phrase), it's a piece of scrap metal that fell to the ground over Russia.
    If this thread wasn't so biased, the title would indeed be "Piece of scrap metal fell to ground in Russia", but that doesn't make for a catchy discussion topic ;-)

    "UFO Crash Russia" <-- CRASH!! Probably more of an irrelevant bang than a crash...the loaded words just keep on coming.
