Defending the Kuiper Belt
On April 7, 2016, the workforce operating NASA’s New Horizons mission had been ready nervously. The spacecraft was about to enter the outermost reaches of our photo voltaic system.
They’d aimed towards Pluto. Which lives in a area of the photo voltaic system known as the Kuiper Belt.
Simply earlier than arriving on the dwarf planet, the workforce observed an object close by. And it was appearing very unusual. This object, no matter it was, was spinning sooner than all the things else round it.
Too quick. Artificially quick. And the item mirrored mild in an odd means.
New Horizons modified course to do a fly-by. They wished a greater take a look at this weird conduct.
However because the spacecraft approached the item, all communications went down. NASA wasn’t in a position to see or hear something.
The New Horizons spacecraft immediately put itself into secure mode.
However nothing was damaged.
One thing or somebody was blocking the sign.
Whoever it was did *not* need NASA to know they had been right here.
And that they’ve been watching us for a really. lengthy. time.
