It’s the alien’s way of saying, “We are here! We are here! We are here!”

For complete clarity of message, they should make the lights blink out patterns that represent prime numbers or something.
 
Ah. Thanks. What’s the best way to follow this story, do you think? It’s NASA, right?

And what will it do eventually? Land on the planet, stay in orbit indefinitely and power down or return somehow to Earth?
 
Wait, I remember back when this story came out, they said they would know more in a few days, but then nothing ever came out…??

**The image was taken on Feb. 19 from a distance of nearly 29,000 miles, NASA says.
**OK, so the pictures were taken on 2-19, the original article was written on 2-26.why did it not take months to get those pictures?

Somehow I think we are being duped on this, whatever those 2 lights are, its clear they dont want us to know.

Do you all actually believe if those lights did turn out to be something non-natural, or found to be mechanical, do you really believe the major media networks would report that? I dont think they would…that would imply that something intelligent placed them there, and for a reason…Im sorry, but NO WAY any media outlet would report that.
 
Yes, I see your point, but I was just reading over one of Dawn articles, in bold below…

**One major mystery is what might be the source of two brilliant spots of light seen in a crater on Ceres during Dawn’s approach.

“Suffice it to say, these spots were extremely surprising to the team, and they have been puzzling to everybody who’s seen them,” Raymond said Monday. “The team is really, really exited about this feature because it is unique in the solar system.”**

OK, so from this statement, it implies they are NOT ice or something else like it, because they say this is unique, there is visible ice on loads of other planets, moons, etc, but apparently they are nothing like these 2 spots, so I really doubt its ice. Another thing, why is it just 2 bright lights? If it were ice or salt, Id think spots like this would be all over the place, not just 2 specific spots right next to each other…??

I think they would report it - it would be the story of the century, if not the millennium.
 
Could it not be something that we humans have sent into space and lost over all the years since we started sending things into space?

Space is too big for something we sent into space to randomly hit a planetoid. At least the chances are very tiny, especially since I don’t think we’ve sent too many things as far as the asteroid belt. I’m just guessing but maybe 20 objects?

The distances out in space are really vast though, even within the solar system.
 
I’m pretty sure this is how the Martian invasion began in War of the Worlds - flashes of light seen from our planet. Expect the canisters containing tripodal war machines to start crashing into our planet soon.

But, still possible! Must be quite a bit of debris out there!

Human-made debris? Most of that hangs around Earth.

Did you know you could put 8 planets the size of Jupiter between Earth and our moon? That’s a lot of space and it’s still very “local” to our small planet. I think if you get a sense of the scale of space you can see that the chances of something of ours landing on Ceres by accident are so small as to be nearly impossible.

Anyway, why should it be something of ours that we lost? Why not something from an alien civilization entirely?

You really seem to gravitate towards conspiratorial thinking around this.

I tend to believe that life is pretty boring and I look for the most obvious explanation of things.

Well, the one thing making me feel it may be something more, is the fact that there are only 2 of these ‘lights’ or bright spots, if it was ice or salt, Id think we see lots of these all over…but only 2? IDK, that seems kind of strange to me
