STRANGE VISITOR FROM AFAR

Well this is weird.

I'm currently very, very late to adding anything to this and any other blog I am the author of, outside of my corruption blog.

It's a long story and a pretty horrific one with some shocker developments .. I'm not going to go deep into.

To cut a long story short .. honest with everyone over plans.

Plans approved over thirteen weeks.

Find out about domestic violence in Hamilton members far away that results in discovery of disabilities in three out of five of them.

Police balls ups. Authorities doing nothing, think fire in house in Salford here.

Three cancer scares added on top of all that.

Speaking with Frank Field and the Work & Pensions Select Committee asking to use my case as evidence and publishing it on a website.

My own health deteriorating .. irregular heart beats, chest pain, tightness, getting out of breath and placed under a cardiologist.

Now they very short version of our of the way I just have one thing to say ..

Oumuamua!

Or 'A Visitor from afar arriving first'?! Tat is what it is called translated from its Hawaiian name.

This is the name given to not only a historical object in the solar system presently but a bloody bizarre one at that. SO they must be hopeful, right?

So much so they think it might be artificial .. or in other words .. alien in origin?!

You better believe it!

What's that? I better reach for my tin hat?

Well you better tell Stephen Hawking that as he is heading up a group of scientists attempting to mute their excitement because they think it might be alien in origin!

Ooh crikey. The chances are it's not .. but ..

It is the first interstellar object to enter the solar system that we have actually detected.

It's travelling very, very fast.

It's very, very long and thin which is not just unnatural in .. umm .. side rocks such as asteroids but .. the perfect shape for an alien spacecraft. Because it lessens damage from side debris like .. umm .. rocks and space dust. Meteoroids and the like.

Oh and speaking of damage .. it's very dense too suggesting it's either solid rock or even metal.
Weird for our first interstellar visitor, is it not?

So they are listening very intently for any signals it might give off that could not be from your average asteroid.

But it might be a ghost ship or Mary Celeste if your prefer?

So what then?

So what do I think?

Are you bloody serious man?! This is exciting .. it's the first thing I've been excited about for awhile now.

It's the first in awhile. Won't solve my current issues but .. of they are solved then maybe to very tool I had ear-marked for this blog which got benched will become a reality.

They thought it babe from Vega. Bit then realised .. well everything moves and takes forever to get there. Even at 196,000 miles per hour.

So it could have been travelling for a very, very long time.

Another possibility I have not heard or read anywhere is that this splinter like object exists as a result of a huge explosion or collision. Maybe a much rather rock existed that got hit by an even bigger rock and this splinter like structure is a result of that?

Maybe there is even some chance that is was the result of a collision between planets in another star system far away? Our own rocks are rounded because .. well many exist that are in belts that are akin and previously far more akin to a snooker table with objects shooting about colliding with each other. As these are invariably spinning any protruding bits get lopped off first, eventually giving us a more spherical shape.

But a collision far off in another system could produce a splinter like shape, it was not that odd to me .. just the reactions to it being splinter shaped being odd that got me excited. Thinking that maybe I was missing something? A collision between planets in another star system could potentially and likely did cause an incredible explosion with immense power. Something resulting from this being sent rocketing off out of its parent star system would not spend most or any part of its life, for that matter, in that billiard ball belt. Not long enough to become spherical in any way.

Of course it remains that this being once part of a planet in another star system could be the result of s supernova? 

We do not even know if it could have been flung here by a low mass black hole by sling shotting around it making it impossible to determine where it originated from. Unless of course we can detect and follow its previous trajectory back and find a black hole and then able to calculate how it would have sling shotted around said back hole and carried on following its previous trajectory prior to that?

That would be one hell of a tall order. Black holes are difficult to find when they are not super-massive ones found at galactic centres. They have often asked questions about the possibility and existence of wandering black holes. Throw that into the mix and the task is very, very nigh on impossible if not already. At least with the current technology.

But what it it is some kind of ship or probe?

It slung shot around the sun in a typical asteroid like fashion but this could be a ruse to not arouse suspicion? That is a fifty-fifty chance and if I was an advanced civilisation and if I knew what we were like and how we treated our own, Theresa May and the Tories *cough cough* this is what I would do! Wanting a closer look but not wanting the primitive apes to react like a bunch of Chimpanzees baying for the blood of other primates and, in this case, their technology.

Yeah .. from my own personal experience I would not want to deal or even talk to us. Maybe they will be back in a thousand years to check whether or not we had become truly civilised or not before making any 'first contact'?

Just check out the events unfolding in Salford or my own corruption blog to see why any intelligent and benevolent beings would stay the hell away from us.

A shame then that scientists do not suddenly realise this and speak out to do something about it .. instead of just staring at the stars waiting to see if something is waving.

Please bear in mind all pictures and videos are not real and artist impressions, lol.

Here is my old favourite John Michael Godier on the subject ..


A few UK tabloid links ..

The Guardian .. 


Or are they now just as bonkers as the Daily Mail? ..


Or the Evening Standard ..

GASSING OVER GEAR

No I am not farting .. I have been in and out of GAS, or Gear Acquisition Syndrome, where you just want to gt everything! Yeah I have not done that and resisted.

Is that actually a thing? GAS? Or is it just something someone came up with that become a buzzword in its own right?

Oooh .. I did not realise I had not posted on my other blogs, namely this one!

Yeah .. once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away I said things were going to change? Well it might have failed to escape everyone's attention that it did not do as I had planned.

In fact everything went all Bjork on my arse .. Oh so quiet!

Then something else happened. Something kinda bad but also kinda unavoidable and I started to state once again that things were going to change.

Would not forgive anyone for thinking .. "Oh here we go again?!"

Yeah well .. no not this time and it just so turns out that a couple of other things are panning out to .. like an old change that was supposed to take place? Yeah that has returned from the grave too.

More will be known about the truth of that in exactly one week from now .. well on here any my other blogs at any rate.

For now I have acquired one .. umm well technically two items that will help me with this blog. Let us say that the outlay required to do this would go along way to show both my commitment and my .. umm .. enthusiasm?

We will see ..

What I have acquired thus far is a car for the first time in years and trust me the outlay as well as the insurance was considerable for me. But it both had to be done and was in the planning for a long, long time.

Then I bought a camera .. that is extremely good in low light as are BOTH the lenses. Both the lenses are top of the line zooms, before you groan .. check them out, and are claimed to be ass good as prime lenses and one of those is 24-70mm f2.8 and of considerable cost.

Though that was not as expensive as the 70-200mm f2.8 zoom with internal focusing.

Even the 1.4x teleconverter most people frown upon sells for like £450!

There are still things to be done and acquired and a battle is about to ensue as I was setting up a business for all this and all m blogs and .. they have reneged on their agreement and are now stabbing me in the back over all this.

I did figure that they might?

It may matter later down the end but then again it may not and it is too difficult to tell right now but a little over a week from now I should know what sort of position I am in.

So then I mentioned a car? A car that might be able to go anywhere, well almost, and that you could set up a tripod and a camera in the back of and shoot photos without getting you or the gear wet? Except .. well the camera and at least one of the lenses is both dust and weatherproof ..

The Car ..



The Camera ..




The Lens and Teleconverter ..




Another Lens more appropriate for this blog .. at least I think or I am buying another one, lol ..
Do have m eye on a couple of f1.4 wide angle lenses, one a 24mm I think it was?





Some other gear ..



I will build a PC to be able to edit 42 Mega Pixel RAW photos and 4K video .. this one .. does not .. at least it starts but within this century? Yeah .. no...

A Celestron was on the list .. except the list is now being interfered with after being agreed upon? Lol 

h and the 'Gassing Over Gear'?
Presume you have heard of GAS? Gear Acquisittion Syndrome where you just want to buy everything?! Yeah well I held back somewhat, lol .. took several days before I got a hold off that second wide angle zoom f2.8 lens...

THE LONG PAUSE

I have had a serious issue going on for seven months now.

It should have not gone on this long but it did.

There was delay after delay and I am not even sure why, with most if not all of them.

As I stated on my corruption blog .. it will mean some big changes when it occurs and will mean that I can buy a shed load of things that are for professionals, like camera equipment.

But before I could buy anything else I needed something that would help me acquire these other tools, of which there is a long list.

Of course one of the other issues I have had is that I use my mountain bike for a lot of work and .. well the weather has been dreadful for me and my health condition. My condition does not like it when it is hot and humid and it was exactly that of late.

Well .. that is until it turned to rain and last night I could heard this horrendous and loud noise and I thought 'That sounds like really, really heavy rain but that kind of rain I have not witnessed before!'

I got up and looked out my window and I think many local Indian people could be forgiven for thinking they had been teleported back to India in he middle of a monsoon!

Anyway yeah so I needed the bike and as has been the case for years now .. if it is really hot, raining or even just a wind stronger than 10mph then getting anything done wildlife wise, or anything else for that matter .. is impossible!

But ..

.. not anymore!  (see video below)

As I stated previously .. many tools to come! Lol! Hmm Celestron and a professional DSLT?

I am talking astrophotography but .. well I am probably going to suck but I am a perfectionist so I will never give in until I am doing things perfectly! Lol.
