Alien comets? Next you will hear that there are Klingons surrounding Uranus.

A comet orbiting our Sun may be an interloper from another star system.
Sure, why not? It's not like they have to worry about time or anything.

Alien Comets. Willing to do the planet blasting that other comets are willing to do.

We need to build a fence around the solar system to keep these illegal aliens out!

I suppose our Congress will soon present legislation to grant galactic amnesty for alien comets.

there was a thread about how someone is claiming that aliens are protecting OBama...something about you can see lights around him or something. I can’t remember the details. It also talked about how one of the former astronauts who walked on the moon believes in aliens.

Better than Klingons invading Uranus....

Comet Machholz 1 isn't like other comets. David Schleicher of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, measured the chemical makeup of 150 comets, and found that they all had similar levels of the chemical cyanogen (CN) except for Machholz 1, which has less than 1.5% of the normal level. While interesting, 150 measured comets isn't much of a baseline to establish "normal".

The heart of V'Ger
The center contained the oldest part of V'Ger Voyager VI, an unmanned space probe launched by NASA in the late-1990s. The entire vessel surrounding the Voyager probe was built by an unknown race of machine entities in order to help it complete what the latter interpreted to be its primary programming: "learn all that is learnable," and return that knowledge to its creator. During its journey, the probe came to think of itself as V'Ger after the only remaining legible letters from its original name, and amassed knowledge to such a degree as to become self-aware.
