Metal chunk crashes through N.J. roof — AP

A chunk of metal fell through a roof in Bayonne, NJ, and NASA was called in to investigate. Now, the space organization is claiming it is part of a “wood-chipper.” Here we go again.

Finally, FAA spokesman Jim Peters said Wednesday, a colleague in his office solved the mystery: It was part of a commercial woodchipper. The same part from another woodchipper’s grinder had caused similar confusion last year, he said.

They are getting pretty slick. First, in 1947, the government claims that a “flying saucer” crashed in New Mexico. Later, a quick retraction was made where that debris was claimed to be a weather balloon. Now, the government thinks they can make us believe that this falling debris — which is clearly some sort of interstellar engine — was part of a wood chipper by simply saying it happened last year.

Bah.
