Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Hey Bob I'm looking at what Jack was talking about And it's definitely not a particle that's nearby. It is a bright object and it's obviously rotating because it's flashing, It's way out in the distance, certainly rotating in a very rhythmic fashion Because the flashes come around almost on time. As we look back at the earth it's up at about 11 o'clock, About maybe ten or twelve diameters. I don't know whether that does you any good, But there's something out there.
