1991 VG is coming to earth in 2017. (Space probe)

[Lord Tony®]

A mysterious unidentified object shows up in earth's orbit every 25 years and rotates around it. Very small.

What's strange about this object is that normally small items that have no power of their own like rocks, etc would get sucked in by Earth and burn up in our atmosphere.

1991 VG shows up at earth, rotates around and does not get sucked into our atmosphere then it just leaves our orbit for the next 25 years.


This clearly has to be a powered artificial object.

i don't think that is how orbital mechanics work
or physics
or gravity

[Badger]

yeah I guess a 1991 Volkswagen golf would have a good enough engine to do that

That's not 1991 VG but it's pretty similar.

[Lord Tony®]

[shitlord]

or, maybe its not ayylmaoians, and its actually more like

"The uncertainty of the object's origin, combined with rapid variation in the object's brightness in images obtained during its close passage with Earth in early December 1991, led to some speculation that 1991 VG might be a spent rocket fuel tank. There was speculation that it could be a rocket body from a satellite launched in the early 1970s, or from Apollo 12 mission."

[Lord Tony®]

It could be but there weren't too many rockets traveling around during the time this thing started showing up.

It travels so close to earth it would have collected into our atmosphere.

when did it first show up

[Lord Tony®]

1991 but they said it could have shown up 20+ years before that, before we had the technology to capture it.

We may have traveled into space since the 70s but we had very stuffty capture technology.

This thing shows up every 25 years so before 1991 it would have shown up in 1966.

spoilers ayy lmaoians are living inside fuel tanks

[otto-san]

the size of the object and its closeness isn't all that matters

if it's going fast enough it won't be pulled out of its orbit

[Timestamp]

in all seriousness i wonder how effective it would be if it hits earth in the land since it's small

maybe as a normal meteorite? idk

It's not going that fast.

[otto-san]

if it weren't going fast it wouldn't be orbiting, it'd be crashing
