| PIR User ID: 33479868 02/28/2013 09:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Project Thor "Project Thor Project Thor is an idea for a weapons system that launches kinetic projectiles from Earth orbit to damage targets on the ground. Jerry Pournelle originated the concept while working in operations research at Boeing in the 1950s before becoming a science-fiction writer.[1][2] The most described system is "an orbiting tungsten telephone pole with small fins and a computer in the back for guidance". The weapon can be down-scaled, an orbiting "crowbar" rather than a pole.[citation needed] The system described in the 2003 United States Air Force (USAF) report was that of 20-foot-long (6.1 m), 1-foot-diameter (0.30 m) tungsten rods, that are satellite controlled, and have global strike capability, with impact speeds of Mach 10.[3][4][5] The time between deorbiting and impact would only be a few minutes, and depending on the orbits and positions in the orbits, the system would have a world-wide range.[citation needed] There is no requirement to deploy missiles, aircraft or other vehicles. Although the SALT II (1979) prohibited the deployment of orbital weapons of mass destruction, it did not prohibit the deployment of conventional weapons. The system is prohibited by neither the Outer Space Treaty nor the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.[4][6] The idea is that the weapon would inflict damage because it moves at orbital velocities, at least 9 kilometers per second. Smaller weapons can deliver measured amounts of energy as small as a 225 kg conventional bomb.[citation needed] Some systems are quoted as having the yield of a small tactical nuclear bomb.[5] These designs are envisioned as a bunker buster.[4][7]" Link: [link to en.wikipedia.org] Last Edited by PIR on 02/28/2013 09:25 AM PIR |

Especially in a place where for many years what ever you were told to believe...you believed, no question. Quoting: Wash Only a complete moron could have believed what a governmental communist is telling. No more than 10% (possibly less) really trusted government all the time. The same thing is evident now. The other thing is that any argument or different comment on "what is official" could have meant loss of job for all family members and possibly a "visit" for conversation with some services. |

The replacement weapons systems were on Discover shuttle missions. These upgrades created SOAV2 systems. SOAV2 makes the SOAV1 system look like BB gun versus 100MB nuclear since the SOAV2 has micro-nukes that are different than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They look like meteor strikes. The only difference between them and the real meteor is a type of nuclear waste found at the hit site. Takes one block or one mile or one city out. All they do is cluster them and adjust for the goal. The Russia incident could have been 1 mini nuke in mid-air that was NOT armed from SOAV2. Seriously. Unarmed. |

So if say Korea launched a satellite and it eventually crashed back to earth somewhere like say Russia and it could not be clearly identified as a Korean satellite but it did not appear to be a bolide, than many may say it is a UFO. Depends on the options on the multiple choice questionnaire, plus the percentage that would say UFO anyways. (Korea launched a satellite is just an example, not saying it was/is.
