The comments look like they came from a bunch of unsupervised kids with too much time on their hands. Quoting Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>:
I did a brief interview on KSL radio yesterday about a meteor that was seen over northern Utah Sunday afternoon.
It didn't seem like that big a story but I just checked the KSL web site and was astounded to see over 100 comments.
But then I started reading them... Some might think we get a little weird here on Utah-Astronomy. Some of the comments are even weirder.
If you've got some time and are so inclined have a look at: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=3496031&comments=true
There you'll see:
1) It was aliens. 2) It was some government coverup (so I guess I'm part of it <grin>). 3) It has religious overtones. 4) It was caused by global warming. 5) It was president Bush's fault. 6) And a whole lot more.
I'm doing KSL Thursday night from 10 to 11 and KTKK Saturday afternoon from 3 to 4. Both are call-in shows so I'm going to ask folks who saw the meteor to call in. Maybe I'll get a few conspiratorialists. Could be fun.
It's getting light, time to turn in,
