New moon reported
by Quadra Nebulana A new spherical moon was seen orbiting the dark side of our current moon group. The new addition was discovered on a recent return trip of the space explorer Spartanium, under the command of Captain Chantal Washington, former recording star of heavy-uranium music. A photograph of the small moon sphere was captured by a crewmember with a disposable Codac camera. The photograph is being analysed at the Federation Aerospace Centre. Norma Herbert, image consultant, voiced speculation over the snapshot. "We would like to rule out any outside influences that might have interfered with the image." Ms Herbert said, "The quality of the picture is fuzzy and the spot, alleged to be a small moon, is similar to water spatters - or more simply put a dirty lens." The spacecraft returned from a 3-year information-gathering Solar mission prompted by the Everest Ear, a space listening station which had detected signals from extraterrestrial life forms. News of another moon sphere had reached Earth before Spartanium landed. Local press met the crew as they disembarked. Members of the Planetary Alignment Coalition anxious over the growing moon sphere problem reiterated their concerns by handing out pamphlets:
Crewmember, Stanley Zarnowskiovich, whose picture drew media attention, was interviewed as he stepped off the craft. Zarnowskiovich said, "I snapped the *** picture as we entered... entered... the fi-fi-final flight path just after the re-entry cham-cham - champagne/wodka party. Them little suckers never drank (burp) the bubbly before. Cute buggers." When asked what was meant by, 'them little suckers,' Zarnowskiovich pulled himself together and said, "Oops! Sorry! Whatever." Captain Washington assured interviewers, "I put down my mic, got off the table and looked through the forward hatch. Why I'd even seen that itsy bitsy moon just rolling on the river of cosmic dust. Stone-faced Tony, our navigator, stopped playing his air-guitar and staggered over for a looksy. Ax him about it. Stan, the man, done seen that *** thing, for sure." Federation spokesmen announced the mission is currently under investigation and all conclusions will be announced after the debriefing. |
