"Another Klendathu Ranging Shot...." Topic

It appears that this went unnoticed by most, including some/many astronomers, but early last week there was another near miss by a ranging shot from Klendathu (those bugs are really quite clever, and technologically savvy).

Missed us by only 120,000 miles, or so, with a rock said to be between 35 – 110 feet across.

Astronomers detected it only on Saturday, and apparently it flew by, on Monday, at only half the distance to the moon, so a rather close shave.

Looks like they've got us well bracketed, and it is only a matter of time.

If it had hit the atmosphere, it would have released significantly more power than the atomic bombs on Japan.

If one of those hits a city, it is going to be a bit messy.

Sleep well, silly, distracted humans, while you can.

Where is Godzilla when you need him….?

Ha! Jet Jaguar will save us! Or Voltron. Or Gamera. Or Gai King. I fear no space rock! :)

The Galactic Federation Sentience Uplift Committee is still debating whether to allow Contact yet. After Abduction Sampling and fly-by recon flights are properly assessed, they expect a ruling shortly…5 to 500 years. Meanwhile the All-Sentient Purity faction is gaining influence, citing the 'Ripley-esque' and Wick-an' Lethality index of the Human Species. Radicalised Anti-Human groups are trying to arrange astroidal-'Bowling For Humies' events which the GF Quarantine Force has quietly contained. The Space Marines want Earth for recruitment purposes because of the world's proximity to the HiveHome Incursion Zone. Commandant Tellig Zhaan is quoted "Why waste them? They're very good at killing and blowing up." Hopefully a decision will be made soon.--Warp Blitzer, GNN.
