Alas, it indeed is too good to be true.

  1. Yes, as I said, the story is too good to be true (try following the link).

    The main part of the apparatus has tentatively been ID'd as part of the control system of a nuclear power plant.

    The different lighting effects and shadows make it a fairly obvious photoshop job too. But certainly good enough to fool CBS.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
