astronomy club sent up a weather balloon w a gopro in it last friday. put in three packs of fruit snacks so they could have a giggle over eating fruit snacks that had been to space.
balloon went up into inner space, about 90,000 feet. came down right near the dinosaur park. a few physics teachers drive out to get it, crack it open on the way home to start watching the footage.
fruit snacks are missing.
multiple sources confirm that fruit snacks were put in balloon and sealed in with duct tape. physics teachers check entire balloon. no fruit snacks.
physics teachers watch footage. all 7 hours of it. right in the middle of footage, there are about 8 minutes of visual and audio static when balloon is in orbit. no other interference with balloon recorded.
conclusions: ???

aliens stole yo fruit snacks

Iâve been a UFO enthusiast for 2/3rds of my life and this is the most convincing alien encounters story I have ever heard.

Happy just-over-ten-years to this post. Early in its life, it was viewed by a seventeen-year-old aspiring astronomer who DESPISED it, thought it was the dumbest Space Post ever, got mad every time it crossed her dash. But this wasnât anybody I knew, and she did the mature thing and didnât send any hate mail about it, and went off and got her whole entire astrophysics degree without me ever finding out. So how do I know about this personâs deep dislike for this post? BECAUSE. I have, at press time, been sleeping next to her for three and a half years

Only if your physics teachers were aliens.

Speaking of the name of this thread, I watched Earth vs. The Flying Saucers a couple of days ago (on YouTube). Not bad for a 1950âs B sci fi movie.
I got started on this recent 1950âs sci-fi movie kick with the The Brain From Planet Arous, because I was going through the Puzzling Evidence thread the other day, and came across this image from the movie, posted by @RAvery:
The movie was terrible and a heck of a lot of fun.
I also watched First Man In Space, last night. It was merely terrible.

Not terribly long after I got online, I got hip to the anti-space exploration god-botherers. Damn, them are some scary ass futhamuckas. They were screaming about how unimportant space is, that it was dangerous (thatâs true), and everyone better get to church and beg God for His All-Mighty Forgiveness.
I DALR, and discovered they are terrified of space b/c What if there really are aliens? What if theyâre not Christian?! What if they make humans doubt The Bib-Lee?! What if discoveries in space create doubt that God Made the World?!
I imagine those narrow-âmindedâ gits are the same sort as the ones what get their lives saved in a hospital, and then publicly thank jeebus instead of their skilled, hardworking doctors and nurses.
Yeah, honey, jeebus saved you, not science.
Not long after being fwdâd the anti-space screed, I was fwdâd another screaming screed which called for violence against the LGBT+ community, and I felt physically sick. I got my intelligent, empathic, educated ass outta there, and blocked the ânice ladyâ whoâd been sending me that shit.

So they believe God made the world, but fully expect new evidence to show otherwise? Great philosophy there. Iâd have sooner expected complaining about how if we go to high weâll get punished like Babel, at least that shows faith in their own religion (version something).
Whatâs DALR though?

Is any other religion that insecure?
Itâs usually Do A Little Research, which idiots are frequently adjured to do, but in this case itâs Did A Little Research.
Itâs a close relative of RTFM, or Read The Fucking Manual.

Ah, I donât think Iâve heard that before. You learn something new every day! Or at least you will if you DALR a day.
