UFOs and Six Degrees of Freedom

05/09/2006 4:30 PM

The technology archives of the India Daily contain some otherworldly stuff. According to a "recent study" (well, it may have been recent back in July), "flight patterns of UFOs when modeled in a wind tunnel laboratory revealed astonishing results". Based on the computer models, UFOs use more than six degrees of freedom. Consequently, UFOs can - quite conveniently - "never be caught or damaged or even encountered unless they decide to do so." I'm not sure how extraterrestial "consent" can suspend 6DOF, but this is one entertaining editorial.

UFO's and English

Well, at least the article has explained why we haven't been invaded by visible UFO's in a variation of the English language with which I am not familiar. :-)

It's just "Scotty, beam me up" and they are gone!
