Now, to get that post meteorite-related, and to stirr the pot a bit more:
The funny thing is that this killer-wig is flying close to the Ries impact
crater, Germany. Zoom out a bit, and you'll find the city of Noerdlingen to
the east of the beast - the center of the Ries basin. Just a coincidence,
Scully ;-?

Amused and amazed,
Norbert
