StarGate or Really, Really Weird Special Effects?
by Marshall Dunn
During the early morning hours in Borras, Norway, people saw a strange phenomena in the sky: a spinning, luminescent spiral with a green beam of light rising from the horizon and intersecting the center. Personally, I was excited when I heard the news, thinking that the aliens were finally going to show us their Mothership in a big way. You have to admit a 50 square mile ship exiting that portal would have been be cool. But, after pondering the possible nature of the aliens in possession of such hyperspace technology (LoveCraftian creatures just freak me out), my excitement took a detour to panic.But, not to worry. While the source hasn’t yet been positively identified, some strongly suspect it was the Russians and an errant rocket launch. Well, thanks for bursting my bubble…that is unless the Russians have developed secret technology to open portals to other dimensions. Naw, it’s probably just a rocket, but see for yourself. And for all you Lovecraft fans out there, it doesn’t appear that Cthulhu is coming to dinner. This time.
