Air Force Buys Supercomputer to Identify UFOs
11/22/00
NEW YORK (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp. said on Wednesday it
sold the U.S. Air Force a supercomputer to help it to identify unidentified
flying objects. The Air Force's Space Surveillance Team, based in Maui, Hawaii,
will use the supercomputer to hunt outer space for old satellites, foreign
spacecraft, and other UFOs that may be hurtling toward Earth, IBM said. The IBM
system will be used to detect and identify some 9000 objects currently flying
around in Earth's orbit. The computer can process 480 billion calculations per
second -- making it about 40 times faster than the IBM "Deep Blue" supercomputer
that defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. That processing capability
will be used to improve blurry telescopic images of space objects, allowing
Defense Department military officials to identify the object. The new
supercomputer was part of a $10 million system upgrade, IBM said.
