This was my thought exactly.Susan Arendt said:OMG, I only just realized...it's not Ubisoft or even Dante's Inferno...the spiral...
DREAMCAST IS RETURNING!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!
Where did you get a warp drive? I'll give you 5000 space bucks for it.gbemery said:sorry my bad, I knew I shouldn't have put a warp drive on my pinewood derby car.
Ubisoft is French. I think a "Le" should be in order.CantFaketheFunk said:Ubisoft is pronounced Yoobisoft. "A" is grammatically correctFROGGEman2 said:![]()

Dr. Atlantis? That's awesome.CantFaketheFunk said:Update 2: Okay, so a genuine rocket scientist whose name may or may not be simulations [http://twitter.com/doctoratlantis/status/6504652897] that would show how this phenomenon would be created, and it's a bit easier to swallow now. But ... I mean, come on, the guy's name is Dr. Atlantis! He's either an alien or a supervillain, and either way you know he's gotta be in on it.
So maybe it IS the russians then, about to DD Norway?Baron Khaine said:Military Experts are calling this a Cynosural Field.
Props for the reference.
Doesn't it make it more likely that it isn't an actual wormhole then? I mean why would it look the way we think it would?Hybrid Sight said:The video looks pretty cool to me. I don't really know what it is, but it certainly does look like what I would imagine a wormhole would look like.
After I found the pieces of my head that just exploded, this all seems alot more logical when you put it like this.Mylon said:A publicity stunt, pure and simple. Either a rocket designed to generate this effect on purpose (the blue portion of the spiral is too perfect) or a very large projector projecting the image of the spiral onto a smokescreen. The rocket is unlikely, because beyond the initial velocity, there's nothing to keep the smoke traveling outwards. It would rapidly turn into a white disc. The fact that comments are disabled for the youtube video strongly suggests something is fishy (typically a company not wanting their viral campaign tainted by whatever random users could say in the comments).
It can't be a rocket test by itself because, happening at night, there is no way it would be illuminated. It would be done during the day not so near foreign borders, or watched with night cameras.
