There’s a disturbing news report on the radio today. Information seems to be sketchy, but apparently there’s been some activity related to the planet Mars. The Red Planet last night passed very close to Earth, and astronomers observed some sort of energy spike that appeared aimed at Earth coincident with that pass. A short time later, a number of meteors were reported to have come down in different spots of the country. Again, it’s unclear at this point whether these incidents are related. Now there’s news that police have responded to some strange activity in rural New Jersey. Crowds have gathered at one or two of the impact sites, and apparently some press are rushing to get coverage of the event.
Perhaps there are some Tribbers in that area could head over there to give us some first-hand reports. DC is remarkably calm at this hour, but I’ll head out later in the day to see if there is any sort of Federal response. Let’s keep on top of this story, folks, but let’s also keep our heads and not get carried away, shall we?
