Interesting. An alien spaceship. I assume the cloaking device which hid the remains from all other expeditions must have just recently failed.

"I'm afraid this is a rather stupid hoax," said Benny Peiser, a researcher at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. "The Russian team stupidly stated long before they went to Siberia that the main intention of their expedition was to find the remnants of an 'alien spaceship!' And bingo! A week later, that's what they claim to have found."


Peiser studies catastrophic events and related scientific processes and media reports. He runs an electronic newsletter, CCNet, which is among the most comprehensive running catalogues on the subject.


"It's a rather sad comment on the current state of the anything-goes attitudes among some 'science' correspondents that such blatant rubbish is being reported -- without the slightest hint of skepticism," Peiser told SPACE.com.

In fact this is, as the article mentions, a claim with a long history. It always should be noted that nobody even got out to the site of the impact until over a year had passed.

I've defeated a klingon, it's in the toilet right now.

Just about anything reported in Pravda is worthless.

Well, you can all laugh now, but when those scientists come back from the crash site with that black tar stuff floating in their eyes, you'll be glad somebody's hanging around with an ice pick.

It's very interesting Russia also has something similar to Rosewell, New Mexico. Pravda is suppose to mean truth by translation.

Is that what they call it nowadays?

No loss there then...

Any aliens stupid or lost enough to crash land in Siberia aren't worth meeting anyway.

"Hi, Yeah, sorry about this but we're heading for Alpha Centauri and I think we took a wrong turn at Barnards Star and...."

Mr Anderson,

you made my day. Funny story - and completly made up. I mean they said its a alien spaceship BEFORE they went to the site. But still very funny.

Cheers
