By the same story, I'm referring to the UFO in the comet's tail. It is the Exact. Same. Story. And I can guarantee that there are people out there, right now, with a nagging feeling that maybe, just maybe, Heaven's Gate was right, and this is their chance to join them.

I speak 4 languages already, english, dutch, german and italian. I have no desire to learn another one. It's a waste of my time. There is so much I want to read and learn, a new language is too much of a hustle. Even though Spanish functions with the exact same grammatical formula as Italian, it's still a lot of work.
I don't understand how learning another language is a waste of time and enough of a hustle (hastle?) to impede your education in other fields?
What if the next thing you want to read or learn is written in spanish or the brainchild of someone to whom spanish is their primary language. If nothing else some command of the spanish language would lend itself well at the moment in regard to understanding the article under discussion, would it not?
Surprisingly, with the heavyweights like english and german out of the way and already speaking italian, I would think spanish would be a no brainer?
How is everyone reading this article? Everyone speaks Spanish here?
If your honestly serious in your question, on my part I have command of a functional spanish vocabulary but most importantly, I have the translator function in my browser enabled.

Well, if you think about it, tagging along with a comet is probably the most efficent way to travel in space, as long as you have enough galactic beef jerky and Big Gulp Soda to last the road trip.
The only real bad part of it is that it's pretty much a round trip. No real interstellar travel, which is kind of a bummer. What we really need is some kid of rogue proto-planet or something just passing through the Solar System, and then hop on as it goes by. Who wants to keep going around and around this star when there are so many others out there to see?

Uh huh. Remember Hale-Bopp? Remember Heaven's Gate? Coast to Coast "broke" the story of the alien spaceship behind the comet. How many people died for that one? History is repeating itself.

"Behind the comet, discovered in December last year, Chinese scientists say that is something they called cluster , which means globular cluster , or perhaps alien spacecraft , "said Toscano.

Hitching a comet could easily be a very real method of travel for extraterrestrial species.
Perhaps they were running low on their fuel, perhaps they are experiencing some kind of mechanical failure.
An object such as this travels at quite a fast pace, and it would make a lot of sense for something to latch onto it's free energy.

Almost exactly what i was thinking.
Hitch a ride on the rock, allow it to take you on it's orbit, leave when you get near to where you want to be, and use your own power for the last leg of the trip.
Don't have to stay for the entire orbit, just use it for part of the trip...unless you wanted to use the rock as the actual space ship...then you'd hollow parts of it out, add propulsion and life support and off you go.
Phobos...Lunar...etc.
First law: Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity.

Well not in Spain it's not.
'Dia de los Santos innocentes' is how it's called in Spain. It's also not on the 1st of April, it's on the 28th of December.
