Thunderbolts Picture of the Day ^ | 7/3/2005

[Swordmaker]

The authors have requested wide-spread dissemination of this article PRIOR to the event as they are making specific predictions of events scheduled to occur tonight.

"It's a pretty complete analysis with a number of predictions. Considering the many ramifications, we'd appreciate any help in getting the message out to other Internet discussion groups and email lists."

I predict it will accidentally start a war with China.

[Swordmaker]

PINGGGGG!

[TommyDale]

I predict that it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to create a mere spark.

[Cultural Jihad]

I predict the dawning of a new Golden Age of prosperity for all.

[Cboldt]

*bump* -- Great article, thanks.

[Robe]

Anybody have any links to sighting possibilities for the east coast ?

[RandallFlagg]

I predict that the ice blown away will be sent at every random direction at high speeds. Some will head into Earth's atmosphere.

Upon entering, it will vaporize and remain floating until weather factors cause it to eventually mix with clouds and it will fall as rain or snow.

The rain or snow containing this dust will land, eventually, onto a cemetary.

I predict....Zombies.




(I predicted zombies on December 31, 1999 as well. I still have plenty of ammunition left over.)

[Uncle Vlad]

It's all Bush's fault. (sarcasm off)

[JarheadFromFlorida]

I predict that it will have a very deep impact.

Deep Impact cosmic ping.

Good post.

[GSlob]

Instead of that impactor we should have sent hillary - to take possession. Besides, her impact would be much destructive for the comet, and would eject more.

[WorkingClassFilth]

If this signals the end of the Age of Aquarius, then I'm all for it.

[GSlob]

"much more"

[RightWhale]

There is a live thread around here someplace.

[Larry Lucido]

Or spark massive forest fires in Oregon.

[bobdsmith]

I predict many predictions shall be made but all of them shall be wrong, including this one

[G Larry]

bump!

The "electric comet" theory brings to mind something I read in "Worlds in collision" by Immanuel Velikovski (spelling?) years back.

Much damage was at one time done to this planet due to a massive electric discharge between earth and another body.

Interesting stuff. If deep impact hits a massive charged particle, rather than a hunk of ice/stone, I shall begin to dig for this book.

What a flash that would make.
