Anyone else find the connection between YU55’s flyby date and Obama testing the Emergency Broadcast System on the same day SUSPICIOUS???
Hey, that’s my Dad’s 87th birthday. :)
countdown to xot.
End of the world?
Then we needn’t worry about anything FEMA is up to.
Another day another comet collision story
Here we go again!
It’s close, and even closer to the moon, but at that velocity, it looks like it would need to be pretty much a direct hit to be a problem. It’s not going to be deflected much by the Earth’s or even the Moon’s gravity.
Here’s a thought though. Comets some times break apart & leave chunks behind. Might be possible to see a chunk visit us.
The Age of Thundarr the Barbarian in nigh!
Too bad Art bell has retired.
Race, I’m interested in any comets that become visible. Do you have any info on whether this comet will be visible? And if decide to have a comet ping list, I want on!
Oops - I was excited about seeing a comet so I asked you before reading to the end!!!
Anyway, if you get more info I’m all ears (or eyes), or maybe do a keyword people can search for.
Most news reports say it’s a large asteroid and not a comet. That means not much of a celestial show. But if it hits the earth it’s not going to make much difference.
Wormwood.
Exhibit 1: They don't know the difference between a comet and an asteroid.
Exhibit 2: An object the size of YU55 would not end the world...not even close. Local devastation...yes...global...no.
Exhibit 3: EMS tests a lot.
Exhibit 4: YU55 will not hit the Earth...it is not a threat to Earth...just as Elenin was not a threat to Earth...although numerous idiots would not listen to me try to tell them that either.
So...while it is possible the government is using the threat of an impact to run an exercise...that is not than unusual...and frankly...I am glad the government understands the risks. Too bad the author of the article has their tin foil hat on so tight it has stopped all blood flow to their brain.
Time will PROVE this to be the case.
