I wonder if this is some satellite thingy - NASA have recently (last
month or so) been playing with docking and un-docking some satellites
to test for manouverability of robot spacecraft:

You could take one of those car lot spot lights up into space to the
space station, and the spot size it would make would be like a pinhead.
Those are far closer the Earth than any orbiting object. D'OH!

Do you have an opinion on what they could be ?

Just a wild guess - maybe the marking lights on a Blimp going over?


Does anyone remember that april fools stunt when cap'n beardy brought
the M25 to a standstill with his "UFO shaped" HAB with all lights and
stuff... top gag. I saw some kids doing this stuff in the desert in
new mexico or somewhere where they would stand on a rock with a "UFO
hat" with all lights and stuff... cars would stop and suddenly speed
off - LOL!


Yeah... when they realized that it was just idiots ****ing around.

just found this concerning cap'n beardy:

Despite Richard Branson's recent promise to put Virgin Group at the
forefront of businesses making efforts toreduce their impacts on the
climate, he has still invested in his ridicuous "Virgin Galactic"
project to take rich people into space for a short flight costing a
mere £100,000 or so, starting in 2009.

Today, "The Guardian" reports that three people have died in
pre-testing of the rocket systems to be used to propel Virgin Galactic
passengers into space:

Isn't it time this ridiculous exercise was brought to an end? Branson
cannot credibly claim to be environmentally aware while proposing to
waste huge amounts of fossil fuel taking the rich on gratuitous trips
through the upper atmosphere and into the edge of space.
