Of course, you realize that this will end up on some woo site as "proof" of ancient UFO sightings...

Well, they didn't put much effort into the depiction, did they? A four year old could've done a better job.

What's that Scorpius stuff about? It's not as if the arrangement of stars actually looks much like a scorpion. Or does the selection and naming of constellations go back to an Atlantean source? Bollocks, I say, and thrice bollocks.

John Barentine gets to appear on the CNN site. As does the 208th (!) meeting of the American Astronomical Society. And Calgary. Not something you see every day.

Are four year olds usually forced to scrape drawings on rocks with other rocks?

That's not a scorpion--it's clearly the FSM.

It could also depict the FSM.

Sure looks like pasta and meatballs to me.
