That's right Sky 8 spotted them this morning riding up and down the OHSU tram. I've heard they weren't even paying the 4 dollar price of admission. Shocking just shocking! Ok I made this all up. I just wanted to generate my own internet hoax. I figured it would dove tail with the other Mars rumor that it will be as big as the moon Monday. I think I've answered at least half a dozen calls and have had at least that many emails asking why I'm not talking about Mars closest approach in 60,000 years. Simple it's not going to happen! The rumor says that Monday August 27th Mars will be the brightest star in the sky. It will pass with in 35 million miles of earth. With a simple 75 telescope it will look as close as the moon.

Mars did make a close approach back in 2003, but this year won't get any closer than 55 million miles from earth and WILL NOT be as bright as the moon. For some reason this rumor keeps floating around and pops up about this time every year. What's even more interesting this year is that there's a lunar eclipse Monday! Go figure.

Like other urban rumors the Mars rumor just won't go way...Ok I'll give you D.B. Cooper.
