Yesterday saw one of the more bizzare sights in London, a space capsule in the style of Jules Verne and a giant mechanical elephant. These were all part of a street theatre event the "Sultans elephants" staged by the French company Royal de Luxe
Maybe it was Jules Verne's capsule. Technology was a little behind way back then, so it could conceivably have been up there circling the Earth all this time, until a stray asteroid threw it off course and set it on a collision course with London.
The authorities would then have had little choice but to come up with a good cover story to explain its sudden appearance.
I took early retirement from the civil service where I worked for the Ministry of Defence for over 30 years as a radiation protection specialist. I am continuing this interest as an indepenent researcher and consultant.
