Approaching 2.7 km wide asteroid 1998 QE2 has its own 600 meters wide Moon - May 30, 2013

Approaching asteroid 1998 QE2 has a moon.

Researchers found it in a sequence of radar images obtained by the 70-meter Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif., on the evening of May 29th (May 30th Universal Time) when the asteroid was about 6 million kilometers from Earth.

First radar images of asteroid 1998 QE2 were obtained when the asteroid was about 3.75 million miles (6 million kilometers) from Earth. The radar collage covers a little bit more than two hours. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSSR.

These findings show that 1998 QE2 is a binary asteroid. In the near-Earth population, about 16 percent of asteroids that are about 200 meters or larger are binary or triple systems Also revealed in the radar imagery of 1998 QE2 are several dark surface features that suggest large concavities.

The closest approach of the asteroid occurs on May 31 at 1:59 p.m. Pacific (4:59 p.m. Eastern / 20:59 UTC), when the asteroid will get no closer than about 5.8 million kilometers, or about 15 times the distance between Earth and the Moon. This is the closest approach the asteroid will make to Earth for at least the next two centuries.

Asteroid 1998 QE2 was discovered on Aug. 19, 1998, by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program near Socorro, N.M. Via sciencenasa.gov

The Asteroid-Comet Danger and Planetary Defense - A View from Russia

Schiller Institute Conference
Frankfurt, Germany
April 13-14, 2013

Kirill Benediktov writer and member of the editorial board of the website Terra America talks about the asteroid-comet danger and planetary defense.

Some quotes out of his speech:

Total number of not yet discovered objects with a diameter of greater than 1 kilometer; Russian scientists estimate that there are about 40 undiscovered, or 20% of the total undiscovered potential very dangerous large space bodies.

The total number of potentially life threatening objects to the Earth is 200,000 – 300,000 and only 2% have been identified by astronomers so far.

The most projects in space defense are passive. The only case of intervention on a space object was the deep impact experiment of bombarding nuclear on the Temple One comet.

Using ballistic missiles with a 1,5 tons payload to a danger approaching asteroid would be enough to destroy an asteroid up to several hundreds of meters in diameter.

Please listen to the interesting speech of Kirill Benediktov:

NASA code 8 for NEO Asteroid 2013 KB, discovered on May 16, 2013

Asteroid 2013 KB was discovered just several days ago by NASA. NASA has put the code on 8, (0 is OK - 9 is very uncertain).

The closest approach '.008 AU' to Earth is on May 22, 2013.

Nevertheless, .008 AU is still about three times the distance of the Moon - Earth, or about 744,000 miles, but it is remarkable that Asteroid 2013 KB sits around the same position for almost 1 day before moving on.  

Listen to the information and explanation from OutrDemnDarkness in the video below:

 

Besides, there are two additional asteroids coming in along with 2013 KB:

1. 2013 KTI at 3.2 lunar distances with closest approach on May 21st, condition code 5
2. 2013 KS1 at 4.8 lunar distances, closest approach on May 22nd, condition code 8.

With four fireballs spotted over U.S. the last days, a Mexico fireball on May 18, 2013, a meteorite near miss in New Zealand, another meteorite strikes Mahangu field in Namibia and the flyby of the 1.7 miles wide Asteroid 1998 QE2 on may 31, 2013 the number of meteors/meteorites that fall to earth continues to increase...

The Sun Rips off a Comet's tail - May 15, 2013

Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6), which is receding from the sun not far beyond the orbit of Earth, has just experienced a "disconnection event."

A cloud of dusty plasma is propagating down the comet's tail, shown here in a photo taken by Paul Mortfield on May 15th:

Disconnection events can be caused by CME impacts. A famous example is that of Comet Encke in 2007.

Comet Lemmon, however, is not on the same side of the sun as active sunspot AR1748. It's hard to see how the recent X-flares can be responsible. Nevertheless, solar activity is high and comets are very sensitive to stormy space weather.

Comet Encke

On April 20, 2007, the comet Encke had just dipped inside the orbit of Mercury, perilously close to the sun, when a solar eruption struck and literally tore the comet's tail off.

NASA's STEREO-A probe recorded a fantastic movie of the collision.

The eruption that hit Encke was a CME or "coronal mass ejection.

CMEs are fast-moving and massive, packing billions of tons of solar gas and magnetism into billowing clouds traveling a million-plus miles per hour.

Actually, it is a little surprising that a CME succeeded in ripping off a comet's tail. For all their mass and power, CMEs are spread over a large volume of space.

The impact of a CME exerts little more than a few nanoPascals of mechanical pressure.

The ripping action must have been something else.

"We believe the explanation is 'magnetic reconnection,'" says Vourlidas of the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C. Magnetic fields around the comet bumped into oppositely directed magnetic fields in the CME. Suddenly, these fields linked together--they "reconnected"--releasing a burst of energy that tore off the comet's tail.

Comet ISON

I wonder what would happen if an earth directed CME rips off comet ISON's tail.

Dark 1.7 miles long Asteroid 1998 QE2 to fly by Earth on May 31, 2013

It's 1.7 miles long. Its surface is covered in a sticky black substance similar to the gunk at the bottom of a barbecue. If it impacted Earth it would probably result in global extinction. Good thing it is just making a flyby.

Asteroid 1998 QE2 will make its closest pass to Earth on May 31 at 1:59 p.m. PDT.X The space rock's name is not an homage to England's Queen Elizabeth II, or to the famous 12-deck ocean liner that was retired from service in 2008. It's just the moniker assigned by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass., which names each new found asteroid according to an established alphanumeric scheme that lays out when it was discovered.

Scientists are not sure where this unusually large space rock, which was discovered 15 years ago, originated from. But the mysterious sooty substance on its surface could indicate it may be the result of a comet that flew too close to the sun, said Amy Mainzer, who tracks near-Earth objects at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. It might also have leaked out of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, she said.

We will know more after the asteroid zips closer to Earth and scientists using the Deep Space Network antenna in Goldstone, Calif., and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico can get a better look at it. Astronomers at both observatories plan to track it closely from May 30 to June 9, according to a JPL release.

At its closest approach the asteroid will still be 3.6 million miles from our planet (about 15 times the distance between the Earth and the moon), but it will be close enough for these powerful radar antennas to see features as small as 12 feet across.

"With radar we can transform an object from a point of light into a small world with its own characteristics," Lance Benner, JPL's principal investigator for Goldstone radar observations, said in a statement.

NASA leads the global effort to identify potentially dangerous asteroids. Our planet has been pummeled by space rocks throughout its 4.5-billion-year history, and more strikes are in our future.

The planet got a dramatic reminder of this reality this past Feb. 15. On that day, a 55-foot (17 m) object exploded without warning over Russia, just hours before the 130-foot asteroid 2012 DA14 gave Earth a close shave, missing our planet by just 17,200 miles (27,000 km).

There is no chance that asteroid 1998 QE2 could collide with Earth this go-around, and its next close approach won't be until 2119.

Still, Mainzer said the size of the asteroid, and its potential for mass destruction, should remind us that there are some scary things flying around in space.

"This is a really big asteroid, similar in size to the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and it's getting very close to us," she said. "Fortunately we've been tracking its orbit very carefully so we know with great certainty it won't hit us.

"We don't need to panic, but we do need to pay attention," she said.

Bright Explosion on the Moon 2013

For the past 8 years, NASA astronomers have been monitoring the Moon for signs of explosions caused by meteoroids hitting the lunar surface. "Lunar meteor showers" have turned out to be more common than anyone expected, with hundreds of detectable impacts occurring every year.

They've just seen the biggest explosion in the history of the program.

"On March 17, 2013, an object about the size of a small boulder hit the lunar surface in Mare Imbrium," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "It exploded in a flash nearly 10 times as bright as anything we've ever seen before."

The 40 kg meteoroid measuring 0.3 to 0.4 meters wide hit the Moon traveling 56,000 mph. The resulting explosion packed as much punch as 5 tons of TNT.

Unlike Earth, which has an atmosphere to protect it, the Moon is airless and exposed. "Lunar meteors" crash into the ground with fair frequency. Since the monitoring program began in 2005, NASA’s lunar impact team has detected more than 300 strikes, most orders of magnitude fainter than the March 17th event. Statistically speaking, more than half of all lunar meteors come from known meteoroid streams such as the Perseids and Leonids. The rest are sporadic meteors--random bits of comet and asteroid debris of unknown parentage.

U.S. Space Exploration Policy eventually calls for extended astronaut stays on the lunar surface. Identifying the sources of lunar meteors and measuring their impact rates gives future lunar explorers an idea of what to expect. Is it safe to go on a moonwalk, or not? The middle of March might be a good time to stay inside.

Governments know about a possible pending global disaster - 2013

World powers know about a possible pending destruction, but are not announcing it, in order to take advantage of the common man's ignorance...

The main stream media has focused mainly on the global unrest and have remained quiet of environment situations. Governments have remained quiet. Scientists have stayed mum for now.

For those who are not yet aware that governments take precautions for a possible global disaster, here are some remarkable facts:

The U.S. Space Shuttle launched its last mission in mid-2011. At that time, NASA entirely abanded it’s government-funded manned spaceflight program.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault was sealed in 2011. This seed bank will allow the world to restart agriculture given a global catastrophe.

The impending total collapse of the global financial system. It is as if various governments are not expecting to have to pay back their debts, perhaps anticipating a global economic reset due to reasons not currently stated.

Governments, Organisations and Military building at an increased rate World Wide Underground Survival Bunkers. The rise of Bunkers being built around the World be almost 700% in the past 3-5 years. The governments of the world have been building 1000's of deep underground bunkers (D.U.M.B.s) for many years.

The U.S. is digging huge underground facilities in inhospitable regions difficult for the masses to reach!

China is digging extraordinary subway complexes under most of its major cities in a crash program that seems odd in terms of timing and scope.

Russia announced in 2011 that it is adding 5,000 new nuclear bomb shelters in Moscow, enabling it to protect all of Moscow's residents. The project had to be ready in 2012.. Russia's new subway systems have also been place deeper than needed so that they can be used as deep emergency shelters.

The Norwegian government is building more and more underground bases and bunkers. When asked, they simply say that it is for the protection of the people of Norway.

Fema Camps: Over the past few years, FEMA has been very busy, building 'camps' and has acquired millions of body bags. They are also stockpiling millions of tons of dried food. A public service announcement from FEMA in 2011, suggesting that we all get a survival kit, in case our ‘world is turned upside down’ and DHS is buying for billions of rounds of ammo! Why?

Why all these preparations, and why the rush?

Solar activity will continue to increase as the solar cycle progresses toward solar maximum, expected in the 2013 time frame.

NASA is now predicting that the Sun may generate unprecedented solar storms for a lengthy period in 2013.  They cannot accurately predict Earth's normal weather a week in advance, and it is by no means clear how NASA can do this with respect unprecedented weather on the Sun years in advance. They are saying that they are more dependent on vulnerable computer technology now. But we had similar dependencies in 2001 and 1990 when previous 11-year solar cycles hit. What is different about the current cycle?

Remote viewing experts mention a mysterious "object" about 13 by 30 kilometers, heading towards our Sun. (Maybe Comet ISON?).

Some might suggest that NASA is acting as if it has some extra information that is not currently stated! Besides, Darkskywatcher74 suggest that NASA is changing and manipulating orbital diagrams for comet C/2012 C1 - ISON.

Comet ISON as seen on May 2, 2013. The tail lenght is much bigger than expect..

Recent data from the remote viewing sessions, shows the mysterious "object" to approach our planet from the opposite side of the Sun. They say it will approach so close that it might break apart, turning into many smaller objects.

If it remains intact, the trajectory calls for an approach to our planet by an orbit a little greater than that of our Moon. But if it breaks apart from its close approach to the Sun, this may change.

Remote viewers predicting events that would happen prior to a solar or meteor impact.

The remote viewers were able to give two: The detonation of another nuclear bomb by North Korea (The Korean detonation happened February 11, 2013 - the same day the Pope resigned) and the emergency landing of some type of flying vehicle (Perhaps the escape pod of the international space station) because of debris falling towards Earth.

A sign?

Space rock left a bullet-sized hole in ISS solar panel

The unusual activities from governments and organizations, the analysis from the remote viewers, the solar maximum this year (Just today May 14, 2013, the Sun released three powerful flares: X1.7 – X2.8 and X3.2), the significant increase in meteors and meteorites exploding near the earth's surface, and last week, a space rock left a bullet-sized hole in an ISS solar panel and there was a radiator ammonia leak at the ISS.(video astronauts spacewalk to repair leak).

Is it possible that all these preparations, predictions and signs refer to a pending meteor shower?

Rather than a meteor or comet, a massive meteor shower that will hit the earth, soon very soon?

Time will tell…

Massive Fireball Explodes Over Japan - May 6, 2013 (Video)

On May 6th, 2013 a massive fireball exploded over Saitama Prefecture, Japan when a meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere and then reportedly broke up and turned into meteorites. On May 6th, 2013 a massive fireball exploded over Saitama Prefecture, Japan when a meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere and then reportedly broke up and turned into meteorites.

Prophetic Message and Warning! A Church, West Coast, Hawaii, Lousiana, New York 2013

Tredachere wants to share this urgent message from the Lord which she received on May 3, 2013.

Even if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, she asks to listen to the message.

There is much calamity coming to many areas of the United States.

Edgar Cayce already predicted 'natural' disasters as well as the Farsight Institute, U.S. Department of Defense Darpa, remote viewe Ed Dames, Nostradamus and St. Johan. And the list goes on.

Just another prediction which claims that many areas in America, especially the west coast of America will be hit by disasters?

Prophecy Nostradamus, St. John, Hopi Blue Kachina, Illuminati Cards Meteor Strike and Hail Bob 2013

Let’s point out some predictions from the past to present:

The Past:

Hopi Prophecy:

And this is the ninth and last sign, you will hear of a dwelling place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. I will be appear as a blue star.

It will come when the Saquasohu (blue star) Kachina dance in the plaza and removes his mask.

Image: Illuminati card Hail bop - Face in the card. (Image enlarged + negative). Mask.

The Hopi Indians refer to the Blue Star Prophecy as being a message from the Gods in relation to the end of the world. It is believed by some Hopi elders that all of the 9 signs of the end have arrived, and that they will be saved from the nuclear war or other doomsday scenario that will devastate most of humanity.

They believe that a white-skinned man named Pahana will come bearing the proper symbols and piece of stone tablet when the time is right to aid in the transition to the fifth and final world.

The coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder. (guns)

Image: Illuminati card Hail Bop - Face in the card. (Image enlarged). Pahana = Barack Obama


Hypothesis

Hail = Hailed or blessed
Bop = Barack obama = B + ob = Bop

A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. He white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom.

 Nostradamus Prophecy:

Quatrain II.46 After great misery for mankind an even greater one approaches, when the great cycle of the centuries is renewed. It will rain blood, milk, famine, war and disease. In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a tail of sparks.

Quatrain II.41 The great star for seven days will burn, The cloud will cause two suns to appear: The big mastiff all night will howl, When the great pontiff changes countries.

Quatrain VI.6 There will appear towards the North, Not far from Cancer the bearded star: Susa, Siena, Boeotia, Eretria, The great one of Rome will die, (the Pope?) the night over.

Coordinates Comet ISON: (Blue Kachina?).

01 May 2013:  09 Cancer - 6N
01 June 2013: 13 Cancer - 5N
01 July 2013 : 19 Cancer - 3N
01 Aug 2013 : 27 Cancer - 3N

The complete list with astrological coordinates: Here

Quatrain I.69 The great mountain round of seven stadia, Afterwards peace, war, famine, flood, It will roll far away sinking great countries, Even antiquities, and great foundation.

Quatrain II.43 During the bearded star's appearance, The three great princes (USA, Russia, China?) will be made enemies: Hit from the sky, (meteorites from comet ISON?) peace earth trembling, Pau, Tiber overflowing, serpent on the brink placed.

St. John Prophecy:

And there was war in heaven. Michael (Sun - Solar flares?) and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels.

12;8 And they prevailed not; either was their place found any more in heaven.

Image:  Illuminati card Meteor-Strike (Image enlarged) - Serpent. (Serpent on the brink placed)

12:9 And the great dragon was cast down. The old serpent, he that called the wisdom of the world, he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him…

And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.

Image: Illuminati card Comet-Strike. (Image enlarged) Head /dragon figure with horns.

12.4: St. John said: “and his tail (comet ISON) draw the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast the earth”.

Present:

Remote Viewing:

A. A 1971 U.S. Department of Defense DARPA chronovisor time travel probe to the year 2013 found the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC under 100 feet of brackish water.

B. Farsight Institute remote viewing probe of June 2013.

Back in 2008 some predictions were made by a team of the top, military trained "remote viewers" - each with over a decade of successful service. Lyn Buchanan from US Army Intelligence and Glenn Wheaton, of US Special Forces participated in a project run by Farsight Institute originally designed to detect minute climate changes at selected targets around the globe. Instead of climate change, the remote viewers saw a huge meteoric impact in the ocean with devastating tidal waves and volcanism. Read more: All this happening by 2013. 

C. Remote viewer Ed Dames:
Comet ISON is not alone. ISON is accompanied with a number of celestial bodies, it is a group!
Ed Dames expressed his concerns about comet ISON.

Illuminati Cards: Hail Bop and Meteor Strike:
A reference to comet ISON and above mentioned prophecies?

Comet ISON (2012 S1)

Nucleus about 3,5 miles across

Coma about 3,100 miles across

Dust Tail extends more than 57,000 miles

Comet closest to the Sun: 700,000 miles (on November 28, 2013)

Comet closest to the Earth: 40 million miles

Active: Data from January 2013: Already more than 112,000 pounds of dust were spewing from the comet's nucleus every minute

Earth will pass through a stream of debris from the comet around January 12, 2014

Comet could dust the earth with meteorites in early 2014

Comet will outshining the Moon and become a bright naked-eye object

Finally: Is NASA telling the truth about Comet ISON?

Comet ISON: Remote Viewer Ed Dames gets nervous

Comet Hale Bopp was discovered on July 23, 1995 and one of the brightest seen for many decades. It was visible to the naked eye for a record 18 months, twice as long as the previous record holder, the Great Comet of 1811. Hale–Bopp met or exceeded most predictions when it passed perihelion on April 1, 1997. The comet's dust tail roughly followed the path of the comet's orbit and yielded no danger for Earth.

Comet ISON photographed by the Hubble Telescope on April 10, 2013

Comet ISON is different. This comet follows the path of the Great Comet of 1811. This comet, according to NASA will overrule the brightness of Hale Bopp, later this year.

OK, ISON will not be a threat to Earth - getting no closer to Earth than about 40 million miles, but a new model of the debris flowing from Comet ISON suggests that the sungrazer could dust the Earth around January 12, 2014.

The Solar Cycle according to NASA peaks in the second half of 2013, and possible last in 2014.

End of this year, early 2014, in the same time frame: Comet ISON and the peak of the Solar Cycle!

Amazing Fireball Falls From The Sky in Texas 2013

Amazing images of a Fireball that falls from the sky in Texas. The photographs were taken on December 13, 2012, by our regular reader Pamela Anderson.

Last December, Earth went through a a stream of debris from "rock comet" 3200 Phaethon and Comet Wirtanen. That time period was also the peak of the strong annual Geminid meteor shower.

We assume that the wonderful images are related to debris of the meteor shower of Comet Wirtanen / Geminid shower or is it something else? We would like to know your opinion.

Meteorite Crashes Through Roof Of House in Connecticut - Apr 20, 2013

A rock that crashed through a house in Connecticut last weekend has been confirmed to be a meteorite.

Homeowner Larry Beck called police in Wolcott, CT at 10:30 a.m. on April 20, 2013 and said a baseball-sized rock crashed through his home the night before, causing damage to his roof and pipes in the attic before cracking the ceiling in his kitchen.

Police reported that people from several towns in the area had called to report a loud boom that rattled windows last Friday evening.

Reports say that at first, police thought the rock was a broken piece of airport runway concrete that had dropped from a plane when landing gear was being lowered. The home is near two airports.

After examining the object on Tuesday, Stefan Nicolescu, the collections manager for the Mineralogy Division at the Yale Peabody Museum confirmed it was in fact a meteorite, likely a chondrite.

Massive Meteor Falls Over Argentina - Apr 21, 2013 (Video)

Amazing footage of the meteor which exploded over Argentina Sunday 21st April 2013.

A small summary of massive meteors, meteorites, asteroids and comets events over the past weeks:

15/2: Huge meteor strikes Russia
17/2: Asteroid DA14
27/2: Green fireball over California
10/3: Meteor over Japan
11/3: Comet Pan-Starrs
29/3: Comet 2013 A1 is heading for Mars (Collision course?)
15/4: Comet explodes above Spain
19/4: Comet ISON (Debris could dust the Earth with meteorites early 2014)
21/4: Massive meteor over Argentina

 

Debris from Comet ISON could dust the Earth with Meteoroids in early 2014!

Anticipation is building as Comet ISON plunges into the inner solar system for a close encounter with the sun in November 2013 and expected to become a bright naked-eye object later this year, (arrives on Dec. 26, 2013. 

Blasted at point-blank range by solar radiation, the sungrazer will likely become one of the finest comets in many years. 

When NASA's Swift spacecraft observed the comet in January 2013, it was still near the orbit of Jupiter, but already very active. More than 112,000 pounds of dust were spewing from the comet's nucleus every minute. 

ISON will not be a threat to Earth - getting no closer to Earth than about 40 million miles, but a new model of the debris flowing from Comet ISON suggests that the sungrazer could dust the Earth with meteoroids in early 2014. 

It turns out, some of that dust might end up on Earth!

Meteor explodes in a ball of fire above Spain - Apr 15, 2013 (Video)

A brilliant ball of flame streaked across the sky above the Spanish capital Madrid, dazzling stargazers and astronomers alike.

The celestial display was so bright it could be seen across the entire country.

The eye-popping moment was caught on camera by the Hita Observatory at the University of Huelva at around 11:45pm local time (21:45 GMT).

The object struck the atmosphere above the Villamuelas district in the province of Toledo, southwest of Madrid.

The impact was so abrupt that the object immediately caught fire, creating a ball of flame around 100 kilometers above the Earth,” The meteor then shot towards Madrid at over 75,000 kilometers an hour before disintegrating completely at an altitude of 70 kilometers.

The explosion as the fireball entered the atmosphere sparked comparisons with the 500-kiloton explosion caused by the meteorite that fell over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in February.

The new threat: Meteors and Asteroids

The U.S. space agency is a decade behind in meeting a congressional mandate to detect meteors capable of destroying a city.

NASA’s leaders said most large asteroids that may trigger a global catastrophe have been found and tracked, and an impact within the next several centuries is unlikely but smaller objects are harder to track, arrive more often and are less lethal.

Unfortunately, the number of undetected potential ‘city killers’ is very large, it’s in the range of 10,000 or more.”

At a House Committee hearing On Tuesday, March 19, 2013, Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) quizzed Gen. William Shelton, U.S. Air Force Space Command about detection: "Was the Chelyabinsk Meteor recognized by the world's space-fairing superpowers as a natural event and not the start of a nuclear exchange?" Gen. William Shelton answered that they even had no idea the Russian meteor was coming.

The Congressman asked NASA administrator Charles Bolden Jr. what America would do if a meteor similar to the one that hit in Russia was found to be on a path toward New York City, with impact three weeks away. The answer of Charles Bolden Jr.: "Pray." Read more

It’s clear, the United States and the rest of the world simply do not have the ability to detect many "small" meteors like the one that exploded over Russia.

Meanwhile fireballs continue gliding across the skies. Last Saturday, eyewitnesses reported seeing a large bolide meteor that split into several pieces. The American Meteorologist Society received 55 reports about this fireball seen over Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

And the latest disturbing ‘unconfirmed’ news comes from globalg2. A man called Raymond says the Russian asteroid was part of a large body of similar objects coming in from the asteroid belt. That object, half a mile wide is heading for earth. Read more Source: cbsnews , businesweek

 

Strange Sky Phenomena Escalating Worldwide 2013

With the Russian meteor impact on Earth, asteroid 2012 DA14, and fireballs entering the atmosphere in Cuba, Florida, and California - the amount of "coincidental" aerial activity on February 15th, 2013 is humbling at best.

With conflicting information from NASA scientists and other astronomers, one may wonder about our true ability to track low orbit objects.

On March 6th, 2013, a fireball crossed the sky over southern Poland. The fireball was also visible from the Czech Republic.

 

On March 12 and 13, comet Pan-STARRS passes not far from the crescent Moon and could become a naked-eye object. A comet over Japan being obliterated by an unknown object and according to NASA something unexpected is happening on the sun.

Furthermore, according to Astrophysicist James McCanney (Connected With Australian Learmonth Observatory) a mini solar system entering our's, the predictions of the Farsight Institute and U.S. Department of Defense DARPA for 2013 and near term future and the ongoing global observations indicate that unusual sky phenomena continue to escalate in both frequency and intensity.

Mini Solar System Entering Our's, Says Astrophysicist Jim McCanney

In the southern hemisphere, astronomers are currently working together with the army, tracking a mini solar system entering our solar system.

According to physicist James McCanney (Connected With Australian Learmonth Observatory) the Learmonth Solar Observatory in Australia would play a central role in the operation.

The solar observatory is operated by the U.S. Air Force and the Australian government. The observatory is part of a network that is operated by the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO).

Hale-Bopp

According to McCanney, many astronomers and soldiers are currently on the location of Project Wormwood, (photo) with the study of planetary defense and space debris. The physicist explains that many astronomers discover planets outside our solar system, but keep this information secret.

According to McCanney, astronomers desperately looking for a mini-solar system that enters our solar system. McCanney refers to Dr. Richard Harrington of the United States Naval Observatory, who, shortly before his death on his way to Australia, would confirm the existence of Planet X / Nibiru. This planet would follow the same path as comet Hale-Bopp.

McCanney also points out that most astronomers are assigned to space programs of the elite. Most discoveries are therefore kept secret.

Change

The solar system is according to the physicist subject to change. This change has a strong influence on the sun, the weather, the planets, and so on. Governments are not going to inform the people, because the nation is not prepared for cosmic changes.

What can we expect? 

McCanney thinks of more comets in our solar system, comets are captured by gas giants, the emergence of new moons, meteor showers and meteorites more than usual.

Wormwood (Planet X's name from the bible). Nibiru (Planet X's name from ancient Sumerians.

"The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water - the name of the star is Wormwood." – Revelation 8:10-11

Update April 19, 2013:
Today we received the following information from UFO Research Network that the video/information is made and uploaded on YouTube by disinformation agents to bring MCCANNEY in discredit.

Jim Mc Canney issued a press release on this, here it is:

!!!!!!!!!!!!! EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT ... DISINFORMATION UPDATE !!!! THE DISINFO CREW IS AT IT AGAIN ... AT LEAST 2 YOUTUBE POSTINGS ARE TRYING TO IMPERSONATE ME AND PASS FALSE INFORMATION ... there are at least 2 youtube videos posted recently by nameless disinformation agents placing my voice making it look like i am saying that a planet X object is coming into the solar system at this time ... THIS IS NOT TRUE ... I AM NOT SAYING ANY SUCH THING ... AND THIS IS WHY I NEVER POST ON YOUTUBE OR ANY OTHER MEDIUM EXCEPT MY OWN WEB PAGE ... what they have done is chopped segments of a 2004 program of mine and posted a february 2013 date on the face and posted on youtube under 2 different names making it sound like i am stating planet X object is now in the solar system ... then in the listener comments they of course post many slams trying to make me look like a nut case making false on Mini Solar System Entering Our's, Says Astrophysicist Jim McCanney

 

Mysterious Green 'Space' Slime found during Meteor Showers

An unexplained jelly-like substance which is said to occur during meteor showers has been found on a wildlife park in Somerset.A "weird" green slime said in folklore to appear at the same time as meteors hit Earth has been found in a birdlife park in Somerset.

The RSPB have appealed for help in identifying the slime, which is said to be scattered on grass banks close to pools and lakes around Ham Wall Nature Reserve, near Glastonbury.

The jelly-like substance could be bacteria, fungus or toad innards, wildlife experts said. Some believe it could be a substance that has been written about for centuries called star or astral jelly, which is said to appear in the wake of meteor showers.

Its appearance has coincided with a meteor strike in Russia and the harmless fly-by of an asteroid at a record distance from Earth last week.

Steve Hughes, the RSPB site manager at Ham Wall, said: "This past week we've been finding piles of this translucent jelly dotted around the reserve. "(It is) always on grass banks away from the water's edge. They are usually about 10cm (4in) in diameter. "We've asked experts what it might be, but as yet no one is really sure. Whatever it is, it's very weird."

Tony Whitehead, an RSPB spokesman for the South West, added: "Although we don't know what it actually is, similar substances have been described previously. "In records dating back to the 14th Century it's known variously as star jelly, astral jelly or astromyxin. "In folklore it is said to be deposited in the wake of meteor showers."

One of the more favoured explanations is that it is a form of cyanobacteria called Nostoc. Others suggest that it is the remains of the regurgitated innards of amphibians such as frogs and toads and of their spawn.

Alternatively, it may be related to the intriguingly named crystal brain fungus. Mr Whitehead added: "We've read a few articles now and much speculation. "One suggested it was neither animal nor plant, and another that it didn't contain DNA, although it does give the appearance of something 'living'. "Our reserve team will be looking out for the slime over the next few days, but if anyone can offer any explanations we'd be glad to hear."

The public are being warned not to touch the mystery substance, and to inform nature reserve staff if they spot any. via: computergirls1985 , newssky.com
