Flying Saucers Spotted Around Saturn!

... and now, the rest of the story!

They strongly resemble the Ha'atak craft of Stargate, yet they are naturally-occuring moons.

Or are they?

I'm waiting for the obligatory claim of Klingons around the 7th planet, as well.

They're actually vast Stone Age effigies of Saturn, transported to Saturnine orbit using Atlantean technology, for very little reason other than to confuse us.

Cool pictures. Makes you realise how little we actually know about our own back yard.

It's slowly morphing into a Black Monolith! Give it another 10-miilion years!

This is the first thing I thought of.

It's hard to find a decent picture of a real U.F.O. (from the series, I mean)

Oh no oh no... please... stop... this must be kept secret. If this gets out it will be more material for Richard Hoagland to make stupid out of. I'm not sure that our society can tolerate another round of Hoagland stupidity.
