Whilst lesser news sites of the world are nattering on about the “World’s Ugliest Dog,” here is the real news: NASA has literally (Literally? Literally.) discovered a Mysterious Alien Pyramid in Space. If you don’t think that’s big news, fuck off.

IT SEEMS that our space agency has, while no one was paying attention, dispatched a spacecraft to photograph the faraway dwarf planet Ceres—located so far out in space that it does not appear on any Google map. So what, big deal, what did they find out there, anyhow, some kind of mysterious space evidence of mystery?

...

NASA also photographed, and I quote, “bright spots” on Ceres. Okay— do you think there’s electricity there? There’s not—or so they say.

There's more at the link.
An Unexplained Pyramid--In Space. What Is It? Nobody Knows. Bananas.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

So Ceres has pimples?

Doesn't look like a built pyramid

 

[Red Liquorice]

I was wondering when this would appear on here. I got passed a CNN link (of all places) last week about it and thought "GAF thread!"

 

[NaM]

That's definitely a piramid and it was definitely made by aliens.

 

[cirrhosis]

Bright spots, you say?

 

[maquiladora]

There's a difference between calling something a mountain and a pyramid. For Gawker, that difference is the number of clicks an article gets.

 

[StayDead]

So the egyptians did find a Stargate.

Beat me to it.

 

[abstract alien]

Am I seeing it wrong, or does that thing actually have pretty sharp angles?

 

[kabel]

Looks like a giant rock.

You guys are weird.

I think they are correct though. Three sided shape moving up to a point. It has NASA baffled because they can't explain how it could happen.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I have trained for this.

I'm sure the Earth has mountains shaped similarly.

 

[John Kowalski]

I doubt it's bananas. Bananas aren't pyramidic.

Looks that way to me.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I cannot wait to be some aliens pet.

Sit around all day. Sleep a bunch. Get fed and have my belly rubbed. Pooping outside will suck but whatever.

NASA said they're baffled?

 

[NinjaFridge]

Egyptians built it. There was a student exchange thing between the aliens and Egyptians where the aliens would build pyramids on earth and Egyptians would build pyramids on Ceres.

 

[theusedversion]

I'm sure the Earth has mountains shaped similarly.

Sure but this isn't a mountain range. It's just one little pyramid shape in the middle of a relatively flat area.

For the record, I don't think it's aliens. It's certainly natural. But still interesting.

 

[mnannola]

For the love of deity please be a massive diamond. Let the new space race begin!

From your very link though...

“We do not know yet what make this peak on Ceres, let alone made it the observed shape,” Russell said. “This is another total surprise to the team. However, there are processes on Earth that can grow mounds out of ground water in Arctic terrains on Earth. But these are much smaller structures.

That is not "baffled".

 

[theusedversion]

NASA said they're baffled?

Sorry I thought the guy they quoted was from NASA.

["God's Beard!"]

I'm convinced.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The next Mummy reboot will have Ceresian pharaohs.

 

[theusedversion]

From your very link though...

Baffled literally means puzzled. Anyways, the guy isn't from NASA afterall

 

[Hidden One]

Need more proof.

 

[UnluckyKate]

I have trained for this.

we are ready

 

[NoWayOut]

 

[theepicoftyler]

Baffled implies a higher degree of uncertainty.

At any rate, it's not a pyramid. It's irregular in shape. It is not crafted in any sense.

 

[acrid]

It’s a false flag put in place by Obama to distract us from the illegal Supreme Court rulings and Benghazi

 

[BumRush]

It looks like a mountain. Why is this a big deal?

 

[andycapps]

Gawker got hold of a Jump to Conclusions mat, I see.

 

[Goro Majima]

I'll hold out for the total boring and no fun allowed scientific explanation for how it was formed through natural processes.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

That's no planet.

 

[DragonSworne]

So is NASA claiming Ceres has water?

 

[Lightning_Roller]

So when the aliens come, are we gonna welcome them to earf?

 

[acrid]

With a punch to the head and a cigar

 

[Anteo]

But.. but.. the great filter guys, this means we are fucked

 

[SwiftDeath]

So clearly the only logical explanation is that pyramid was made by Ancient Humans right?

 

[Flynn77]

Looks like swamp gas reflecting off Venus to me.

 

[terrisus]

Whilst lesser news sites of the world are nattering on about

"Lesser news sites" than Gawker?
That can't encompass too many...

 

[DragonSworne]

Ancient Aliens that visited Earth.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Chunk of material from an asteroid collision.

 

[theepicoftyler]

So is NASA claiming Ceres has water?

Nobody has claimed anything. Except Gawker, maybe.

He was just thinking outloud about a potentially analogous process on Earth.

 

[Ally of Justice]

Wow, 2015 looks to be quite eventful still.
Just imagine if they did confirm it is a pyramid and not another illusion like the face of Mars.

Of course we need way more proof, but I'm sure both Tsoukalos and Maussan will have a field day.

Appears they got their info from the LA Times. Pyramid sure is used a lot on that link.

[Purple Cheeto]

THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!

 

[Nafai1123]

It's clearly a weather balloon that drifted off course.

 

[JJDinomite]

Is such a thing possible?
