For some reason, Jesus returning to Earth on a spaceship just makes perfect sense to me.

He is mad at you and your bosses. When did we get bosses here?
Am I missing something here or what.

AIRPLANE-SHAPED "COMET" SEEN IN ASTEROID BELT.
Announced TODAY Oct 8 2010, at Division for Planetary Sciences in Pasadena, California
Do you buy the comet explanation, or think this is a space ship?
Yes I was looking at this pic and wondering what it was as well. I think it's an asteroid like the article points out.
Thanks to Phage, I can put this one to rest.

The Extraordinary Disrupting Asteroid P/2010 A2

Abstract P/2010 A2 has the orbit of an inner main-belt asteroid (a,e,i = 2.29 AU, 0.124, 5.3 and Tj = 3.6) but is the source of an extended dust tail that lies near the projected orbit. We used ground-based data to recognize the strange nature of this object, then secured Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations from January 12 to May 29 2010, in order to ascertain its nature and evolution. Our data show that A2 consists of a leading nucleus, about 120 meters in diameter (albedo 0.15 assumed), followed by a unique, X-shaped structure that is the source of a tail (or trail) of millimeter-sized dust particles. Examination of the tail shows that the particles were emitted in 2009 February/March at velocities less than 1 m/s. The combined mass of material in the tail is roughly equal to the mass of a single 12-meter radius sphere. Spectroscopic observations from the Gemini North telescope show no evidence for CN or other optical gas lines.
We consider it unlikely that ice exists in such a small, warm object so close to the inner edge of the asteroid belt. Thus, while A2 technically meets the definition of a main-belt comet, we believe its activity has another cause. We interpret A2 as a debris cloud from a small, previously unknown asteroid that has been impacted by a still smaller body. Alternative explanations will be discussed.

MSM info on UFO's in New York and China. FAA got in on the action too.
Usually jaded New Yorkers froze in their tracks Wednesday and gazed skyward at the
still mysterious objects that hovered above the iconic Manhattan skyline for several hours.
"We are not able to make an identification of what the objects were," Federal Aviation
Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said today. "We know they weren't aircraft
or helicopters. We wouldn't be able to say if they were balloons or something else."
