Today's word of the day (or words) is Oort Cloud

As in, there could be a super giant planet hiding in the Oort cloud. Personally, I think that's where a few of the people I interact with on a daily basis come from.

Hubble Photographs Alien Ship

 Nasa's story is lame. 

P/2010 A2 is unlike any object ever seen before. At first glance, the object appears to have the tail of a comet. Close inspection, however, shows a 140-meter nucleus offset from the tail center, very unusual structure near the nucleus, and no discernable gas in the tail. Knowing that the object orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, a preliminary hypothesis that appears to explain all of the known clues is that P/2010 A2 is the debris left over from a recent collision between two small asteroids.

Nice try. What do you think you are, rocket scientists or something? That's clearly an alien battle cruiser.
