@garry2301 Garry2301 is always asking people "why don't you fuck yourself". Maybe someone should give him a sex education class as it's obvious he missed that week.

If you found some of its debris they say you cant have it or even sell on ebay, if i found something I will not want to sell it heeeell no! but why do you have to report it and cant you keep it? not that i can imagine anyone would! but why?

I cannot understand why when aliens o something special come to visit us from the space it happen in usa . When something is going to falling down it go to Europe.

@Mrdakyy Well said, thumbs UP

[ABCforBeginners]

Its incredible to me that the folks in NASA can spot a little Satellite and to some extend can guess where the thing is going to crush. But the very Massive Object that Hit the Sun on October none of you saw it coming. It appears to me that the Size of that Huge Object must have been Bigger than any of the Planets Orbiting our Solar System. Also NASA makes no mention of the UFO that appeared on the left hand side at the same time that this object appeared.
