Nasa And Conspiracy Theories

[chrisgel]

I've just been reading this report
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2277978/Nothing-Nasa-scientists-claim-shiny-object-spotted-Mars-surface-merely-result-natural-wind-erosion.html

I also read the comments and was staggered by how many people think that NASA are trying to keep things from us.
I'm also amazed at how many people seem to have no knowledge on the subject but are quite happy to accuse NASA of a cover up based on that lack of knowledge.
One person even asks why the astronauts didn't get out of Curiosity to have a closer look.

Do any AB'ers share this conspiracy theory.

It does look a lot like the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot from a Rolls Royce.

It's definately an alien finger. They must be lying.

I'm not sure why they didn't just keep the picture secret though instead of publishing it and then coming out with this 'eroded rock' mumbo jumbo.
They obviously didn't think it through properly, because now we're on to them.

this is just what Cyberdyne Systems have been waiting for

Having donned a protective aluminium foil cone I can confirm this object is in fact one of my fingers which was abducted by aliens on Burns Night.

those martians are clever devils ... they hide behind a rock every time a camera turns up

Cripes ... !

I clicked on a link in the right hand column of the link ... if you see what I mean.

This black hole is really close.

I hope we don't get sucked into it.

I've got this image in my mind of scientists sitting round a table with 100's of pictures saying "Here's an unusual one, lets release this and see what Daily Mail readers come up with"

No, only mouth breathing galloots believe those theories.

I think I'd go with Alexander pope on that one!

[sandyRoe]
