Astronomical events are so stupid, "oh you'll be able to see Jupiter in the sky tonight" and its always something like this:

Geminid Meteor Shower

The meteor shower peaks overnight December 13th and 14th, so don’t miss it!

“Most meteor showers are caused by comets. The Geminids are associated with an asteroid called the 3200 Phaethon. Having an asteroid as the foundation of a meteor shower provides an excellent source of dust grains that will burn up as they dive into the Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA. That's why some researchers call Phaethon a "rock comet."

A little current commentary

I’m fairly sure everyone and their sibling has heard about or has seen this headline by now:

Last Updated: 25th July, 2020 16:30 IST    Alien Cube Ship Captured Near The Sun By NASA Is Ten Times Bigger Than Earth

I should note here that most of the sites that have this a headline more or less are copies of each other. Like nearly word for word. Anyway, of those sites mot come up broken links/error pages now.

When i first heard about this, my first reaction was: ”Well, muthafucka. Isn’t that something.”

Now my reaction is: “Crap, now what I write here is gonna end up being gospel or some junk. So I might want to put something useful for folks.”

Ok, to first apply this context. Is it legit? Well.. There’s a picture of a cube like object so go with what you will there. I’ve not been there so I can give a very definitive maybe.

It could just as easily be a paint flake that has adhered itself to the lens of the camera taking the picture or could have been in such near field at just the right moment that we get the headline as mentioned above. I’m going to lean towards the paint chip idea because of a bit of key knowledge that I have called ‘deductive reasoning.’ See also: Looking for more than one source.

So we go to: https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/space_time/space_telescopes/

Annnnnd.. No mention of a black cube ten times larger than Earth. No real surprise and no need to get the probing lube ready either. but to be safe, let’s look at another place.

Here for instance: https://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/beacon/

Yep, no giant cube spaceship.

Ok, one more because really, what is a good place for conspiracy theory an aliens would I be if I didn’t confirm? Here, finally we have a place that surely a giant ship was seen: https://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/newsite/images.html

No. No enormahuge cube ship hovering near the sun.

So yeah, two US NASA/government linked sites and a quasi-independent site agreeing that the ‘anomaly’ is more or less dust or as it’s scientifically called ‘Space dandruff’.

Could it be just another real time coverup and I called it accurately the other day when I said the first nation to reach communications to broker trade and or alliance would be the victor? seems like it could be a cover-up kind of thing, especially when common knowledge is taken into account of the current sitting president (Donald J. Trump 2016-?) took steps to create and fund a new branch of how to conduct operations in space, called Space Force. Which started in 2018, and many people laughed. So many laughed and called it crazy.

Doesn't seem to crazy now, does it?

This also raises a few other interesting questions that may get covered here in the future. For now, the US might have made an out of this world alliance that will prove many unique dividends soon enough.
