Hubble Finds Unidentified Object in Space, Scientists Puzzled
Gizmodo
Wednesday, September 17, 2008
This is exactly why we send astronauts to risk their life to service Hubble: in a paper published last week in the Astrophysical Journal, scientists detail the discovery of a new unidentified object in the middle of nowhere. I don’t know about you, but when a research paper conclusion says “We suggest that the transient may be one of a new class” I get a chill of oooh-aaahness down my spine. Especially when after a hundred days of observation, it disappeared from the sky with no explanation. Get your tinfoil hats out, because it gets even weirder.
The object also appeared out of nowhere. It just wasn’t there before. In fact, they don’t even know where it is exactly located because it didn’t behave like anything they know. Apparently, it can’t be closer than 130 light-years but it can be as far as 11 billion light-years away. It’s not in any known galaxy either. And they have ruled out a supernova too. It’s something that they have never encountered before. In other words: they don’t have a single clue about where or what the heck this thing is.
The shape of the light curve is inconsistent with microlensing. In addition to being inconsistent with all known supernova types, is not matched to any spectrum in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database.
The only thing the astronomers—working on the Supernova Cosmology Project—can tell is that it appeared all of the sudden in the direction of a cluster with the catchy name of CL 1432.5+3332.8, about 8.2 billion light-years away. Hubble caught a spark that continued to brighten during a 100-day period, peaking at the 21st magnitude, only to fade away in the same period of time.
Apparently, a scientist at the LHC declared that the object is similar to the flash that an Imperial Star Destroyer does when reaching Warp 10. Either that or some dust on the Hubble lenses, so someone tell NASA to get some Windex up there too. [Sky and Telescope]

It must be Al’Queda!!! Nuke it!

It’s amazing what a little dust can do to sophisticated instruments. They developed a whole theory on this and even published. Amazing!

It’s Jeff Gannon.

It’s not dust.

It’s not the first time something unknown had be found in space. A few years ago scientist saw a large object orbit Saturn and just when the object was to come around for the third or fourth time scientist were all set to anounce a new satalite of the planet, but guess what, it did not return. Wow, guess what that was an enormous mother ship of some kind. Huh!

It must be where Osama is hiding, they haven’t found him anywhere on earth because he’s hiding in space.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
what is so amazing about something appearing out of nowhere? I don’t understand

Im sure we will be seeing more and more “unknowns” like this in the near future. Modernity is falling, and now we realize that science will never prove everything. The mystical will not be defeated. We humans are not as powerful as we may have given credit.

As subjective as life has become, we are all being collectively led back to the Infinite piece of information. God? Yes sir. Follow your conscious!

It can very possibly be Jesus! No…. i’m serious. He’s coming back very soon.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
So that’s where Saddam hid those WMD’s

Science needed to find something they could not explain (that’s published). But it could be fairly common going undetected because of it’s short duration and older technology. I predict they wil find another within the next couple years, now that they are looking. And since it is a new function of the cosmos it will unlock discovers and create new avenues of study.

hehehe….very funny Commander Clash :>

Doesnt the hubble telescope see in color?
September 17th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
it’s planet x coming to kill us
September 18th, 2008 at 2:07 am
Maybe it`s the much predicted `Planet X` for 2012
September 18th, 2008 at 2:33 am
Whatever your seeing from 130 light years was there actualy 130 years ago… there is no telling where it is now. If Nibiru exisits then it cant have a orbit of more than one or 2 lightyears in length, since it apparently has a 3600 year full orbit. No planet would naturaly accelerate to a 1/3600 the speed to light so i think this conjecture rules planet X out.

That’s no moon. Thats a spacestation.
September 18th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Wow! Im a believer lets send them some tax money for more missions, no matter the economy is falling apart.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:53 am
The Space Monkeys are coming to eat us!
September 18th, 2008 at 7:43 am
ANUNAKI??????????????????????
September 18th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Wow! I know what it is….it’s GALACTUS The Ravager of Worlds!
September 18th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Maybe it’s Jesus!!

I myself believe in the theories of Sitchen, but I dont think this could be Nibiru.
Its way too far off.
The children of the Nephilim (masons) run this world in preparation of the return of Nibiru and their masters the Anunaki. They were left here with knowledge of the true course of history and future to controll us and prepare for their return.
They come for gold, precious metals and stones.
We have all been nice little sheep and collected all of it for them so they dont have to go through the trouble.
You may all laugh at me what you want just do me a favor, spend some hours 1 day to research the topic and youll see that this is what the NWO is being created for, with a deadline for 2012, They build their underground bunkers and even the camps to exterminate the unwanted survivors are in place allready.

Maybe Aliens detected the CERN experament and they’re on their way to check it out.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I actually AGREE with “E”..this could VERY well..be CERN related…
One ‘Phenomenon” that has been witnessed so repeatedly and consistantly during “ligths in the sky” events..especially the “orbs’ is the ‘Mirror’ spot…this has alos been observed in Physics..quantum mechanics..the idea that the particle moves through a hole..the hole moves..but there never was a hole there…get it? me neither..BUT..the images…YES! there ARE MANY..MANY photo’s of this…are amazing…the “light’ or “Object” call it whatever you want..TYPICALLY..has a Mirror spot a short distance away..almost like it has two componants..
I am admitting that i do not know what i am talking about technically…but the images, the idea is very real..look for yourself…and this..COULD be along those lines…because who KNOWS how long or how MANY CERN type devices they have built…maube they HAD to build this “public’ model to cover the fuck up that they created with the secret model…who the fuck KNOWS.. am only saying that this is REALLY strange..but DOE have …ANALOGUES in current “Mysteries of Physics” and the BEHAVIOUR..is very much like tbhis s being described as..”it was there..then it vanished!”…and the “trace’ or “mirror”..is alway’s the LAST thing to go..goes ‘out” AFTER the “orb” is gone…like DWINDLES…fades..etc…
I dunno…my “gut” tells me..this is NOT an “accident”..space is BIIIIIG!…real…REAL..big! and for them to ..”find” this..”wasn’t there..and is gone now” “object” for it IS physical in nature..they just don’t know..”how” it COULD be physical…but that it seems to be..well..HOW the hell..?? wa sit LUCK?..was the Hubble..uhh…sort of “pointed” to this spot when everyone showed up for work on monday morning?..you dig?..HOW..did they find it? what made someone look at this..”SPOT” long enough to determine that it was not a “normal”…uhhhh..”Spot”! are they really checking the ‘quality’ of every speck? wow!
I dunno…I DO know that i do not TRUSt ANY government agency AT ALL..and especially if it involves any thing that is PHYSICS realted ..read: WOW..NEW WEAPON?????please..Hunh? Please?…yeah…a dissapearing spot..hmmmm…oh well…rant..rave..SPLUT!!!!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:33 am
CANNN ANYONE SAY NIBIRU???????? COME ON PEOPLE LETS NOT BE IGNORANT…..
September 18th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
it better be looking for wormwood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

paranoid idiots STFU. christ.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Materialization and dematerialization are a common feature with regard to GHOSTS and the UFO phenomenon. This object might be a naturally occuring event along such lines. Two book worthy of your time are “THE HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE” by Michael Talbot (Harper Collins) and “THE FABRIC OF REALITY” by Professor David Deutch (Penguin). These two book will help you to comprehend what this mysterious object is about. http://www.myspace.com/caelenium

well whatever it was….it happened between 130 and 11 billion years ago
September 19th, 2008 at 7:13 am
What the heck is this all about now ???????? It was there and then was gone ???? WOW !!!
September 19th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Evan: You moron…even at light speed that jesus is a long time from getting here. You nasty little boy, now go an return your brain…you’ve misused it. Oh, it’s not a brain, it’s a walnut, you reached into the wrong jar…Oh, I see.
Claudia: Moroness. No claudia it’s your brain, very large but totally useless to you. You jesus idiots are soooo stupid…oh, that’s it, you guys can’t think…it’s not within your ability and maybe it’s genetic. So because you can’t reach sound decisions I should be kind to you, like I would with little children.

planet x?
