That’s pretty wild. I’m glad Jupiter is catching this instead of us.
To: rdl6989
Thank you Jupiter. We appreciate that.

It is important to note that NASA is confirming the initial observation of this impact that was made yesterday by an amateur astronomer in Canberra, Australia.

There was a post about this on FR almost immediately this morning.
Not doing the “Duplicate post” stuff, just commenting on how quickly FR can get news out there.

It was a massive Gray ship awaiting the invasion of Earth because NASA blew up their observation station on the Moon. We're all gonna die!

If it made an impact that an amateur astronomer can see, then it must have been pretty darn large.

Thank you Jupiter. We appreciate that. Yeah, it would ruin our day.

The Rare Earth Hypothesis posits that Jupiter-sized planet(s) are essential in the outer solar system distal to any earth like planets for life and intelligence to occur.
The gas giant(s) are vacuum cleaners for space debris that would otherwise extinguish life in the inner solar system.

It’s not uncommon for these things to come in groups.

Well, the object may have had companions which are now slung into earth crossing orbits and could be in our future, our near earth future.

Wait a minute, something smells here...
Following up on a tip by an amateur astronomer, Anthony Wesley of Australia, that a new dark "scar" had suddenly appeared on Jupiter...
"We were extremely lucky to be seeing Jupiter at exactly the right time, the right hour, the right side of Jupiter to witness the event. We couldn't have planned it better," said Glenn Orton, a scientist at JPL.
If JPL got the tip from Mr. Wesley, then how did they "plan" it? Are they stealing Mr. Wesley's credit?
