New 'mini-moon' is circling Earth astronomers say - A triangle-shaped mini-moon?


A visiting mini-moon is circling Earth, according to astronomers who discovered the cosmic squatter in our planet's orbit.

The tiny asteroid, dubbed 2020 CD3, was spotted by astronomers in Tucson, Arizona, on Feb. 15.

Further observations and dynamical studies are strongly encouraged."

Skinwalker Ranch has a long and sordid history well cataloged by researcher Ryan Skinner. The Uintah Basin has always been home to strange tales of odd lights, sounds and visions. Sightings of strange creatures and UFOs continued in the area. Cows were mutilated with surgical precision in broad daylight and that their family was hunted by strange aerial objects and floating orbs of light.
