Now on ScienceBlogs: Oldest Human-Made Object in Space
Theoretical Musings
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

What else am I to conclude from recent UFO reports out of Texas, except that no one in the entire town had a cell phone with a camera? Or a digital camera? Do the aliens use data from cell phone usage and digital camera usage when they decide where to do their joy riding?
Oh, and I will be happy to update this post when photos emerge! (I grew up reading UFO books, by the way. I credit them with developing an idea for what science is and is not.)

I want to know how the man could claim to know how large this object was without any obvious way that I can see to determine how far away it was.
Also: "bigger than a Wal-Mart"? I smell a troll.

Just FYI: CNN is showing video of the alleged UFO on TV and its website, taken via cellphone camera. Of course all you see is a blurry light in the sky, but still...
