No more 'oort fields' or whatever. That 'tenth planet' one was nice, though. But...
Whenever there is a track meet, someone shoots a gun into the air (sometimes its a real gun.). It would possibly have the speed to break the earth's gravity (atmosphere), so maybe it got shot.
OR, for all you BASIC programmers out there
probe_speed = 60
atmosphere_edge = 100000000 (made up number for demonstrational purposes)
atmosphere_edge / probe_speed = time_to_next_world
track_bullet_speed / atmosphere_edge = bullet_time
If bullet_time > time_to_next_world then
msgbox "We have found our solution. It was a track meet bullet."
IF Else : msgbox "I guess we'll bever know..."
End If
There. Now run basic, get yer answer, and find out what the answer is, kay?
atmosphere
I see a little silhouetto on the window/
Voy'ger 2! Voy'ger 2! Can you say 'Course Disruption'?
