"The discovery of a mysterious object in our solar system is the topic of a listen-and-log-on news briefing on Monday, March 15, at 1 p.m. EST."
This certainly sounds portentous, even if the "mysterious object" turns out to be a minor trans-Neptunion object. Sometimes I wonder what a massive extraterrestrial starship would look like upon entering our solar system -- assuming it didn't object to being seen.
Remember the Hale-Bopp thing? When the first reports that the comet might have a "companion object" surfaced, I was skeptical but also quite excited. That a world-sized extraterrestrial craft would hitch a ride on a comet made sense to the physicist in me. As it turned out, I was thrilled just to have the comet hovering in the night sky like a second moon as it crossed Earth's path.
