Les and all...
I was just amazed when I heard of this particular new visual observation of this now quite likely newly discovered southern nebula. Like most things, I suppose before any announcement there has got to be THE confirming observation - if not only to say if it is pure fantasy or real. (Justifiably, Egg Foo Yong is just so difficult to remove once it sticks to your face.)
Most probably the position of this object will still require to produce a second photographic image, so at present, this is rather awkward topic to talk about or even confirm or deny its existence. (Torture is against the Geneva Convention, I think)
Hopeful that defining moment of awakening will come along very soon. (and we can then put all the eggs away!)

HAL: "Well, forgive me for being so inquisitive, but during the past few weeks I've wondered whether you might be having some second thoughts about the mission ... I know I've never completely freed myself of the suspicion that there are some extremely odd things about this mission ... certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left. Rumors about something being dug up on the moon ... I never gave these stories much credence. But particularly in view of some of the other things that have happened, I find them difficult to put out of my mind. For instance, the way all our preparations were kept under such tight security..."
