First.... http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070327_saturn_hex.html Quote One of the most bizarre weather patterns known has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole. Rather than the normally sinuous cloud structures seen on all planets that have atmospheres, this thing is a hexagon. The honeycomb-like feature has been seen before. NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged it more than two decades ago. Now, having spotted it with the Cassini spacecraft, scientists conclude it is a long-lasting oddity. "This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides," said Kevin Baines, atmospheric expert and member of Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We've never seen anything like this on any other planet. Indeed, Saturn's thick atmosphere, where circularly-shaped waves and convective cells dominate, is perhaps the last place you'd expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is." The hexagon is nearly 15,000 miles (25,000 kilometers) across. Nearly four Earths could fit inside it. The thermal imagery shows the hexagon extends about 60 miles (100 kilometers) down into the clouds. http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827/1d/www.space.com/images/070327_saturn_hex_02.jpg and... http://www.shabelle.net/news/ne2633.htm http://somalinet.com/news/world/Somalia/8920 Quote Mogadishu 26, March.07 ( Sh.M.Network) A mysterious device looking like a satellite or UFO has landed and spotted near buulo burde town in south Somalia. Villagers report that the device fell five days ago in area which lies forty kilo meters north of Buulo burde town. The device is occupying in an area of one hundred Meters Square as villagers who spotted this device confirmed to Shabelle Radio. “In the evening of last Wednesday, a large device flew over our head and moments later, we heard a large sound, BAM” said Ilyas Ali, a villager who lives nearby where this large device has fallen. Ilyas spoke of the device, telling that in the daylight it glitters and in a nighttime, it turns lights and speaks a strange language which can’t be understood by the villagers. The impact of the unidentified device has killed a camel which was grazing nearby. Because of the remote area it fell, news of the device is emerging gradually now despite its fall of five days ago. It's an intergalactic war on camels. I for one am heading off to tesco's to buy tinned goods and a shovel. Then I be digging me a bunker in my basement. Title: The apocalypse is coming..
