Buzz Continues Over Asteroid Headed Toward Earth With What Appears To Be A Pyramid On It
Is NASA sending a spacecraft to a nearby asteroid to bring back a rock sample or to check out a pyramid on its surface? That’s the question being asked by many who have seen a video and photos purported to have been created by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) showing what appears to be a large black pyramid on asteroid 1999-RQ36, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission scheduled for launch in late 2016. So what about the pyramid? Or the other rectangular objects on the asteroid? NASA makes no mention of them, nor does ISRO say anything about them or the video on its web site. No names or other specifics have been released. Are they covering up a secret second purpose of the mission? Some buzz on the Internet focuses on the pyramid being an alien mining project while others say its an alien space station.
