Something that’s being blogged about alot is It’s the Moon, Over.
Basically it is the story about A man in Wales who sees an unidentified bright luminous object in the sky over the mountains, and calls the police about it. The police decide to investigate the mystery and discover that the unidentified object is really just the moon. Darn! I was hoping they’d get down there and see, you know, an alien spaceship. <sarcasm> what did they think it was?! Oh well, can’t blame them for doing their job.
But you also cannot ignore the blatent stupidity that started the whole ordeal! A person who cannot identify the moon either has such a hectic life that they can’t associate objects anymore, or they had such a terribly isolated childhood that they never learned what it was. I’m surprised they could call 911 and describe that they saw in English!
But perhaps the person is your normal average everyday Joe. And maybe this is a sign in the deacreasing interest in the skies as Stuart points out in his blog.
