Betreff: Re: [Leonidak] Érdekes!Ma a Népszava hátsó oldalán megjelent!
Sziasztok!
Ezzel a hirrel kb. masfel hete talalkoztam eloszor. Egyik munkatarsam
kerdezte meg, hogy mi a velemenyem rola. Az altala megadott angol nyelvu
cikk hozzaszolasai kozott szerepelt, hogy nem is dolgozik ilyen nevu
ficko a SETI Intezetnel.
Most utananeztem, es tenyleg ezt irjak a SETI honlapjan:
http://www.seti.org/page.aspx?pid=1539
"No one named Craig Kasnov has ever worked at the SETI Institute."
De talan erdemes az egeszet elolvasni:
Internet Rumor of Inbound 2012 Spaceships Untrue
NO Spaceships Headed for Earth
Has the SETI Institute discovered three objects en route to our world?
Alien spacecraft that will arrive in 2012?
If you believe a widespread story now being circulated on the internet,
and published by the ironically named “Pravda”
[http://english.pravda.ru/science/mysteries/22-12-2010/116314-giant_spaceships-0/],
you might think so. But it’s all nonsense – it’s a rumor, a hoax, and a
fabrication that uncritical web sites have reprinted without checking.
A few aspects of the story that are obviously suspect:
1. The objects, now described as a few hundred kilometers in size,
and “beyond the orbit of Pluto”, were apparently discovered by SETI
using the HAARP radio array. To begin with, the HAARP (High Frequency
Active Auroral Research Program) instrument is located in Alaska. The
position of the three “incoming” objects is given as -90 degrees
declination – or the south celestial pole. Anyone versed in even
elementary geometry can recognize that you can’t see this part of the
sky from Alaska! In addition, and of clear import, neither the SETI
Institute nor any other SETI project makes use of HAARP.
2. In the original version of this article
http://www.examiner.com/ufo-in-canada/3-very-large-objects-space-flying-to-earth,
purported SETI astrophysicist Craig Kasnov is quoted as saying that the
three objects are in-bound. No one named Craig Kasnov has ever worked
at the SETI Institute. There is a media and conservation professional
by name of Craig Kasnoff, who – with David Gedye – came up with the idea
of the SETI@home screen saver many years ago. But he has explicitly
noted that he has nothing to do with this story, and in fact the article
itself points out that it is referencing “Kasnov” not “Kasnoff.” So the
story rests on the testimony of a fictional character.
3. If the SETI Institute had, indeed, found three clearly artificial
objects headed for Earth (or just about anywhere else), that news would
be found here on its web site. It would also be in the mainstream
media. It’s not.
The putative arrival in 2012 of objects from another world is no more
believable than the Mayan calendar claim that the world will end in that
same year, internet stories notwithstanding!
