Russian Scientists Claim Find of Alien "Wreckage" at Tunguska Blast Site

I usually don't link "alien" news, but when alien "wreckage" is linked to the Tunguska fireball, I just can't resist.

Whoops! Loose shit on the spelling of Tunguska. My apologies.

By the way: I don't believe in aliens or such. But the linkage of the Tunguska fireball to an "alien spacecraft" discovered by "Russian scientists" is just too damn pulp-fiction lurid to be ignored.

I'm sure the story is fake, but it's a terrific opening five minutes for a movie.

I wonder if that "wreckage" is anything like the advanced otherwordly technology found at Roswell (i.e. foil, tape, and balsa wood).

Yeah...I'd noticed the strange omission.

Mighty convenient "timing" that you start linking it now.

I remember reading in some book i had as a kid about some kind of strange disk found at Tunguska, any truth to that or is it all tin foily?

Hey Nick, I question your motivation for questioning Ace's timing!

Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on August 12, 2004 01:47 PM

Tunguska, please. I have no idea where Tungusta might be.

Sorry to go all picky on you, but I did a double-take, wondering 1) where the hey Tungusta was (thinking South America) and 2) why were Russian scientists involved?

Posted by: Dianna on August 12, 2004 03:32 PM

Tungusta is on that part of the Mekong Delta lying just between Vietnam and Cambodia.

Posted by: Nicholas Kronos on August 12, 2004 03:46 PM

I don't know... I'm still trying to figure out a way to blame president Bush for this.

Posted by: Cpl. Menno on August 12, 2004 03:53 PM

Perhaps. . . Bush Knew?

Posted by: on August 12, 2004 03:54 PM

Oyvin Glayvin.

First of all, it's Tunguska, NOT Tungusta.

Second of all, it's in Siberia, which might explain why Russian scientists were involved.

Thirdly, if you google it, you'll see, as ace knows, that it was only the most spectacular cosmic event to strike earth in recorded history.

Having said that, the article leaves me intrigued but skeptical.

Posted by: Brian B on August 12, 2004 04:13 PM

Oyvin, you're killing me. I always thought I was a vast well of useless knowledge but now I see that I was kidding myself.

Posted by: lauraw on August 12, 2004 04:28 PM

Heh. That lack of a social life as a kid is finally paying off.

Posted by: Brian B on August 12, 2004 04:30 PM

Brian, read the first line. I was kidding Ace about the mis-spelling.

Trust me. I know about Tunguska. I know where it is, and I read the story.

Posted by: Dianna on August 12, 2004 05:23 PM

Dianna,

DOH!

Sorry, I missed that.

Posted by: Brian B on August 12, 2004 05:35 PM

Hmmm. Maybe you'd better stick to taxonomy.

Posted by: lauraw on August 12, 2004 10:07 PM

Taxonomy? What does stuffing dead animals and mounting them on your wall have to do with anything? :)

Posted by: Sobek on August 13, 2004 12:40 AM

But were the aliens gay and did they hire incompetent "foreign nationals" to positions of high security, sexually harrass them, engender several lawsuits, and then tearfully resign?

Posted by: Sailor Kenshin on August 13, 2004 09:32 AM

My facts were right, it was my ability to note the sarcasm in Dianna's tone that failed me.

And taxonomy? No thanks. I have no interest in studying the IRS codes.

Posted by: Brian B on August 13, 2004 12:12 PM

Ace, its your blog...but the natives are getting restless and silly. Note the puns.

Groaners are a symptom of topic fatigue.

Posted by: lauraw on August 13, 2004 02:58 PM

lauraw,

I'll have you know I sling groanworthy puns all the time, not just when I'm bored.

Not that that's a good thing, necessarily. Just sayin'.

Posted by: Brian B on August 13, 2004 05:54 PM

I'm sure the story is fake, but it's a terrific opening five minutes for a movie.

Indeed it did.

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
