When the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft swings by Earth on Sunday, it is expected to deliver a rare cosmic gift: a pristine sample collected from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu

If all goes according to plan, the spacecraft will release a capsule containing an estimated 8.8 ounces of asteroid rocks and soil from space toward a landing zone in the Utah desert.

NASA will provide a live stream of the sample delivery beginning at 10 a.m. ET Sunday. The capsule is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere at 10:42 a.m. ET, traveling about 27,650 miles per hour (44,498 kilometers per hour). It will land in Utah about 13 minutes later

Note to self: Do NOT watch Andromeda Strain this weekend.

[Reno89519]

Yes, AndromedaStrain is right. Time to watch the original movie again!

[reasonisfaith]

Until proven otherwise, this is all about taking a step in preparing us for their biggest false flag yet.

Yes, the biggest.

Utah already has Romney (and the morons that voted for him) so how could that be worse?

Note to any dinosaurs: Immediately take shelter by entering the secret cave entrances leading to the underground cities under Antarctica.

Somehow our history books missed the suppressed story as shown below: /S

Summary of Ancient Aliens. Season 14.Ep.1
Return to Antarctica. May 31, 2019

Arctic expedition carried out after WW2 by naval officer Admiral Byrd. He and a fleet were ordered to scope out possible military base locations. He flies to the South Pole and finds he’s looking into a giant hole with lush landscapes and then discovers a glowing city with extraterrestrials. They tell him they’re hiding under the earth because humanity is destroying the planet and we harbor nuclear weapons.

any pups or cubs here are going wwwwhhhhaaaattt???

But yeah.

Happened before, a sample from a comet tail crashed and split open in Utah too, I think.

Don’t worry.
With “Expert American know how” being applied, the thing will probably miss us by 3 solar systems.

Thanks for my morning laugh!

So, it will burn up inside the capsule rather than outside the capsule.

Whatever you do, DON'T fly your F-4 Phantom II over the landing area.....it breaks down the rubber in your oxygen mask.

This place should be safe. Watch the lasers!

They’ll need some explanation - associated with the rise of the Man of Lawlessness

Any chance we can detox that 56-57 Chevy?

I think 57 but I can’t see the taillights.

Better to watch some 50s movies...

The Blob

The Thing

(B-/C+ movies, both.)

The original Invasion of the Body Snatchers was quite good, however. A 50s classic.

[Fungi]

don’t forget “The Blob.”

[orlop9]

It’ll contain absolute proof of global warming, everyone knows that /S

[billphx]

First thing that came to my mind :}

[Empireoftheatom48]

Went to school with the Director’s Son. One day he brought pieces of the Blob to school. It reminded me of silly putty except a little harder. I rolled mine into a tight ball to bounce it on the floor it was crazy it bounced every witch way, lol. I wish i had saved it.
