This document provides an overview of comets, predictions of the end of the world, and the alleged "Planet X." It discusses comet composition, past comet and asteroid impacts on Earth, the solar system's scale and amateur astronomy. It examines data from comets Wild 2, Halley and Tempel 1, as well as comet probe missions. The document analyzes the story of Comet Hale-Bopp and its link to an apocalyptic prediction. It also reviews theories about comets, including the standard "dirty snowball" model and alternative "electric comet" theory. Finally, it summarizes the controversy over an alleged companion object photographed near Hale-Bopp by amateur astronomer Chuck Shramek.

4. A Note About Distances…
We need to get a good feel for the distances involved in what
we will be discussing about Comets and “Planet X”.
We will be considering things in units of roughly 100 Million
Miles.
This is also roughly the distance between the Earth and the
Sun, so note:
1 AU = Distance from Earth to Sun = ~ 100,000,000 miles
So, for example:
Jupiter is about 5 AU from the Sun (between 4 and 6 AU from us)
Saturn is about 9 AU from the Sun (between 8 and 10 AU from us)

8. A few Distant Dwarf Planets
Discovered Since 2000
It is now possible to detect small
planetoids/dwarf planets A LONG WAY AWAY...
QUAOAR Quaoar is approximately 800 miles in diameter and is slightly
farther away from the Sun than Pluto. It is made primarily of ices.
Off Site Quaoar Links:
Quaoar--Cal Tech
MAKEMAKE (pronounced MAH-keh MAH-keh) Diameter: 950 mi. (1500 km.),
it's the third largest Trans-Neptunian Object after Eris and Pluto. Originally designated 2005 FY9,
Makemake was discovered on March 31, 2005, near Easter, hence its original knickname of "Easter
Bunny". Since Kuiper Belt objects are all officially named after creation gods, 2005FY9 was named
Makemake for the creation god found in the traditional mythology of Rapa Nui or Easter Island.

9. A few Distant Dwarf Planets
Discovered Since 2000 - 2
ERIS (formerly known as 2003 UB 313 or Xena) was first photographed in
October 2003, but was not detected until January 2005. Its discovery was announced in August
2005. This object is about the same size as Pluto and currently about three times farther away
from the Sun than Pluto.. It is made of ices, much like Pluto. It takes this new planet 557 years
to orbit the Sun just once. Its orbit is tilted nearly 45 degrees up at an angle compared to the
plane of Earth's orbit. Eris has one known moon, Dysnomia

2003UB313--Cal Tech / NASA Tenth Planet?
SEDNA Sedna is the most distant object yet discovered in the solar
system. It was discovered in 2003. It is roughly three times further away than Pluto, well
outside the Kuiper Belt. It is approximately 1000 miles in diameter and takes nearly 10,500
years to go around the sun just once. Currently, scientists have not officially classified Sedna as
either a planet nor a dwarf planet, Sedna was named after an Inuit Goddess of the Sea.

12. Amateur detection of
Near Earth Objects
Published on 04/04/2011
Question:
Is it possible for an amateur astronomer to assist with detecting near-Earth asteroids or
comets? If so, what would be the minimum telescopic aperture and type of photographic
equipment required to conduct this kind of research?
Amateur astronomers can and do play an important part in detecting near-Earth objects.
Today more than 5% of all near-Earth objects are discovered by amateurs and this proportion
is on the increase. The Minor Planets Centre (http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/) based at
Harvard University is the organisation responsible for cataloguing and archiving all
discoveries of small bodies in the solar system and have a wealth of information to help
potential amateur astronomers. The professional search programs typically use telescopes
with a diameter of ~1m; LINEAR, one of the longest running and most successful programs
currently has two 1m telescopes and a 0.5m telescope. When conducting searches smaller
telescopes are to some extent preferred since they have a larger field of view and can image
a larger area of the sky at once.
When you have your telescope, discovering asteroids is still not trivial! Because these objects
are particularly faint (due to their size), the detectors being used (usually a CCD) need to be
sensitive enough to be able to distinguish them from the background noise from the device.
For CCDs, when they are cooled the background noise is reduced and because of this, most of
the CCD detectors you can purchase for amateur astronomy today use fans to cool the CCD
well below the ambient temperature.
Even with both of these, the main requirement to successfully discover asteroids and other
small (and faint) objects is a dark site with good seeing (clear, still skies). Combining all of
these things together means you could potentially discover some new asteroids!

13. Comets – What Are They?
Harbingers of Doom? “Dirty Snowballs”?
Or Lumps of Rock?
14. The Standard View of Comets…
Explained here very nicely by David Talbot
from a video freely available on YouTube
called “The Electric Comet”.

15. Comets and Asteroids
As we have already seen (briefly), Comets
are now being discovered almost every
week.
Few of these comets will ever become visible
to us on Earth – most will remain as almost
invisible blobs in the images captured by
Professional and Advanced Amateur
Astronomers.
Standard Astronomy more or less considers
comets to be in elliptical orbits with one
focus closer to the sun. When they get close
to the sun, they develop a visible tail…
Asteroids normally thought to stay in the
asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter, or
they may come closer to the earth – when
they are called “Near Earth Objects” or
“NEO’s”

17. Comet Hale Bopp – 1996 - 1998
Here are some photos I took in April 1997 – I put them on my
first Website!

200mm F4, Exposure Time 10 – 15 Secs

Object, Chuck Shramek, Art
Bell and “Heaven’s Gate”
Getting to the Bottom of a Messy, Confused
and Tragic Story
19. Chuck Shramek and
The Hale Bopp “Companion” Object
The image on the right was taken by Chuck
Shramek. It garnered a lot of attention due to
his appearance on the Art Bell Show on 18 and
19 Nov 1997. A few years later, Shramek
stated on his website:
Here's the picture that I took that caused such
a stir on November 15, 1996. I simply asked,
"what's that Saturn-like thing near the
comet?" All hell broke lose up to and including
blaming me for the mass suicide of a strange
group in California. Real "astronomers" say
the "thing" I photographed is a star distorted
by my telescope. I have recently taken a
picture of the very same area of the sky. (It
had been impossible to photograph for several
months because of the proximity of the Sun.)
My new pictures clearly prove with digital
clarity that the "thing" in the above photo is
not this star alone. The star they say I mistook
for the "thing" is much dimmer and it does not
produce a "ring" effect. For that matter, no
star I have ever photographed (and I've
photographed thousands) produced this odd
"ring" effect.

20. Chuck Shramek and
The Hale Bopp “Companion” - 2
“Months before I took this picture, I smelled
a cover-up of the good pictures of the
comet. The pictures from the major
observatories went away from the web in
May of 1996. The Hubble pictures went
away in October of 1995. Hubble pictures
posted later were deliberately degraded.
This is why I decided to launch my own
observation campaign. It got so silly that
NASA and JPL were posting crappier
pictures than I could take.
I now think I have a good grasp of why they
were covering-up the good pictures. Good
close up pictures of the comet nucleus
revealed a cosmology that contradicted the
accepted paradigm. To a few fearless
astronomers willing to really look at the
evidence, comets reveal a much different
solar system history. It's a history that
includes other technological civilizations on
other planets only several million years
ago.”

21. Alan Hale and
The Hale Bopp “Companion”
Alan Hale – Co-Discoverer of Comet Hale
Bopp eventually did an analysis of Chuck
Shramek’s Image
If you rotate this image counter-clockwise
about 45 degrees, and compare this to
Shramek's image (with it oriented with the
long axis top-down and the "object" on
top), you will see that the bright two stars
above the comet in Shramek's image will
match the two brighter stars above center
in the DSS image. [Editor's Note: the image
displayed here has been rotated in the
manner Alan describes.]
Palomar Image of Same Field of View
Shramek's "mysterious object" is nothing
more than the bright 9th-magnitude star
appearing in the DSS image. The "Saturnlike rings" are nothing more than a
diffraction effect (see also the spikes from
the same star in the DSS image), a
phenomenon which has been known and
understood for centuries.
https://web.archive.org/web/19970220182856/http://www.halebopp.com/slo3.htm
21
22. Most Likely Explanation for
The Hale Bopp “Companion”
Now comes the smoking gun. Shramek was using
the computer star atlas program MegaStar … In
MegaStar the user can set parameters such as:
magnitude limits…. If the star magnitude limit is
set at less than 9, or if the GSC catalog has nonstars toggled off, or if the PPM catalog is toggle
off (in Version 2.0 or higher) then SAO141894
will not appear. This can happen very easily, and
is most likely what happened to Shramek.
MegaStar users must remember that there are at
least TWO magnitude limit settings, one for stars
and one for NSOs (non-stellar objects). When I
ran the program with the star magnitude limit
set to 7 the chart below was the result. Notice
that the label for SAO141894 is there but the star
is not. On Shramek's web site he shows a
MegaStar chart for this location in which not only
the star but the SAO label is missing. This is
because he had the labels option turned of in the
program.
So when Schramek looked at MegaStar and did
not see SAO141894, he concluded that he had
found the mysterous object which apparently he
had been looking for (this becomes more clear
when you read his email later).

23. The Electric Comet
Following on from the earlier segment about the
“standard” (dirty snowball model) of comets, let’s look
a little more at the “Electric Comet” idea.
There are a number of things it explains much better
than the standard model.
I can strongly recommend a visit to the “Thunderbolts”
Website.

24. Visiting the Comets With Probes
There are several missions which have now given
us close-up pictures of Comet Nuclei:
Several Probes, including Giotto, visited Comet
Halley in 1986.
Deep Space 1 visited Comet Borrelly in 2001
The Stardust mission was a “sample and return”
mission to Comet Wild 2 (81P/Wild) in 2004
Deep Impact fired a probe/projectile at Comet
Tempel 1 in 2005
We will briefly look at some of the data from
these missions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_comets
24
25. Deep Impact – NASA’s Description
A preliminary interpretation
of these data indicate that
the upper surface of the
comet may be fluffy, or highly
porous. The observed
sequence of impact events is
similar to laboratory
experiments using highly
porous targets, especially
those that are rich in volatile
substances. The duration of
the hot, luminous gas phase,
as well as the continued
growth of the crater over
time, all point to a model
consistent with a large crater.

26. “Tempel Alive with Light”
This spectacular image of
comet Tempel 1 was taken 67
seconds after it obliterated
Deep Impact's impactor
spacecraft. The image was
taken by the high-resolution
camera on the mission's flyby
craft. Scattered light from the
collision saturated the
camera's detector, creating the
bright splash seen here. Linear
spokes of light radiate away
from the impact site, while
reflected sunlight illuminates
most of the comet surface. The
image reveals topographic
features, including ridges,
scalloped edges and possibly
impact craters formed long
ago.

27. Spectrum of Tempel 1 Images - 1
a) The ice-rich nucleus
spectrum (black), when
modeled as a mixture of
non-ice nucleus (see Fig.
4b) and a calculated
spectrum of 70 µm size
water ice particles (purple)
does not match at short
wavelengths, while a
mixture with 3 µm size
water ice particles
(orange) produces a poor
match at long
wavelengths.

b) The same ice-rich
spectrum (black) is well
modeled with 30 µm size
water ice particles (blue)
and a nearby non-ice

ice-regions contain 6 ± 3%
of ice with 30 ± 20 µm size

29. Bright Regions on Surface of Tempel 1
This is a region of particular
interest. The lack of any
features on the smooth
region (lower left) implies a
young surface. But is it
advancing towards the right
and covering up rougher,
older surface regions? Or is
it retreating to the left,
eroding and uncovering
those regions? The scarp
edge marked by arrows is
about 10-20 m above the
lower and older terrain. It
appears bright since it is
catching direct sunlight.
The bright regions may be
illuminated because they
are facing the sun – or are
they regions of interaction
with the solar wind?

30. NASA Spacecraft Finds Comet Has Hot,
Dry Surface
April 5, 2002
Comets are sometimes described as "dirty
snowballs," but a close flyby of one by NASA's
Deep Space 1 spacecraft last fall detected no
frozen water on its surface.
Comet Borrelly has plenty of ice beneath its tarblack surface, but any exposed to sunlight has
vaporized away, say scientists analyzing data
from Deep Space 1, managed by NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
Dr. Laurence Soderblom of the U.S. Geological
Survey's Flagstaff, Ariz., station, lead author of
a report on the Borrelly flyby results appearing
in the online edition of the journal Science.
"We know the ice is there," he said. "It's just
well-hidden. Either the surface has been dried
out by solar heating and maturation or perhaps
the very dark soot-like material that covers
Borrelly's surface masks any trace of surface
ice."

31. Summary of “Dirty Snowball” vs.
“Electric” Comet Models
All sources you will find on NASA and similar websites
talk about “Icy comets”.
Articles, papers and postings, like the ones I showed will
claim Ice has been detected, therefore the “ dirty
snowball” model is correct.
snowball
The other data about compounds (such as olivine) that
could never have formed “in a snowball” are rarely
discussed.
If the anomalous data are discussed, Scientists would
normally say “Well, yes, we know about that but it’s not
significant compared to the other data which proves the
‘dirty snowball’ model is basically correct.
To move away from the “snowball” model would make
their lives more difficult…
Note: The Electric Comet model does NOT preclude the
presence of Water or Water Ice in cometary nuclei.
The “Thunderbolts” website is concerned with the
evidence which proves that electricity – perhaps more
than gravity – has played a significant role in the
formation of the galaxy and the solar system.

33. Hubble Sees an Asteroid with
Six Comet-like Tails
Nov. 7, 2013: Astronomers viewing our solar system's asteroid belt with NASA's Hubble Space
Telescope have seen for the first time an asteroid with six comet-like tails of dust. Designated P/2013
P5, the asteroid resembles a rotating lawn sprinkler.
"We were literally dumbfounded when we saw it," said lead investigator David Jewitt of the University
of California at Los Angeles. "Even more amazing, its tail structures change dramatically in just 13 days
as it belches out dust. That also caught us by surprise. It's hard to believe we’re looking at an asteroid."
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/07nov_6tails/
33
34. Asteroids with “Comet” Tails
Space.com - Jan 06, 2011 A huge asteroid discovered
more than 100 years ago
may not be an asteroid at
all, but a dormant comet
that is just now coming
back to life, according to
new observations.
The object, known as 596
Scheila, is about 70 miles
(113 kilometers) wide and
has a faint, wispy tail that
suggests it may actually be
a comet, researchers said.
If that's the case, then 596
Scheila would be only the
sixth known comet to
reside in the main asteroid
belt, a vast region of space
rocks that lies between the
orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
So is it an “asteroid belt” –
or a “Comet Belt”???

35. Comet ISON - Discovery
How was it found? The discovery of C/2012 S1 (ISON) was announced on 24
September 2012.It was found by Russian astronomers Vitali Nevski and Artyom
Novichonok on CCD images made with a 0.4-m telescope of the International
Scientific Optical Network (ISON) near Kislovodsk, Russia. The comet was further
from the Sun than Jupiter 6.6 Astronomical Units or AU distant (an AU is an
astronomical unit, equal to 150 million km, the average distance the Earth is from
the Sun) and was a very dim Magnitude 18.8 when discovered (objects dimmer
than Magnitude 6 cannot be seen with the unaided eye).

44. Tunguska, 1908
One well documented, but still mysterious case is the
Great Siberian Explosion Over Tunguska in 1908…
It is still unresolved as to what the object was – some
think it was a comet, but for the size of the explosion,
a crater and/or recoverable pieces would seem to
have been more likely.
But maybe nothing was recoverable due to the
explosion being over a vast area of swamp.
Over Chelyabinsk on 15 Feb 2013, a much smaller
object caused some damage and injuries….

45. Did a Comet/Asteroid Strike Decimate
England in About 532 or 562 AD?
Since about 1982, Alan Wilson and Barrum Blacket have
been writing about this in some of their books – they
came across accounts during their research into the real
story of King Arthur.
There are unexplained Vitrified Rocks found in Ramparts
at 200 Hill Forts Around Northern Europe – dating from a
few hundred years BC to a few hundred years AD.
Bolivia is also reported to have had considerable effects
of some type of impact, about the same time.
From the Anglo Saxon Chronicles – written by Geoffrey of
Monmouth (1130AD):
“And then a Star of enormous size appeared to Ythyr, having a
single shaft, and at the head of the shaft a ball of fire in shape of a
dragon, and from the dragon’s jaws, two beams went upward, the
one beam reaching towards the farthest parts of Ffraink and the
other beam towards Iwerddon, which split into seven smaller
beams. And Ythr and all who saw this spectacle feared, and they
asked the wise men what it might mean. And then Merddin wept

47. Summary for Comets
There is no observable risk of Comet Ison crashing into the
earth.
Asteroids and Comets are probably very similar – or even the
same – fragments of larger bodies which were formed in
collisions, explosions or “plasma discharge erosion”.
Objects do crash into the earth every day – but the larger
they are, the rarer they are, it seems.
More Near Earth Objects are catalogued every day.
The truth is that we could indeed be destroyed at any time by
a large, dark object, not yet picked up.
I believe the technology already exists which could be used to
deflect or destroy incoming objects – but we would never (as
things are now) be told about this.
Knowledge about the true nature of comets could lead to our
realising more about the true history of our solar system –
whether that means that a planet exploded (e.g. forming the
asteroid belt), or there was indeed time when the
configuration of the solar system was much different and the
changes were recorded by some peoples/tribes – as
suggested in “Symbols of an Alien Sky”

49. Comet Hale Bopp …
and the End of the World
Back in 1997, it was said by some that Hale
Bopp would crash into the earth…
This usually happens with most comets that
come by…
With Hale Bopp in 1997, a string of events
related to the sighting of the Comet seemed
to lead to a tragedy…
Following the exposure of Chuck Shramek’s
photo showing the “companion object”,
quite a frenzy ensued which resulted in
someone generating a fake image to try and
give more credibility to the “companion
object” story….
http://cometography.com/hysteria.html

50. Hale Bopp – Fake Image Introduced
The "Secret Image“ - On January 15, 1997, a
new "secret UFO picture" was posted on
Art Bell's and Whitley Strieber's web sites,
after being announced for several days. They
supposedly received it through Ms. Prudence
Calabrese and Dr. Courtney Brown from a
"mysterious astrophysicist" who "preferred
to remain anonymous." Below are the
original images released at the two sites
above (compressed 2x to save bandwidth).
We have identified that image as being a fake
based on an image obtained by an astronomer of
the Institute for Astronomy, Dr. David Tholen.
The original image was posted on
our Hale-Bopp page more than one year ago.
Below is a comparison of the central region of
the two images. The fraudulent image has been
rotated to match the orientation of the original
image.

51. Comet Hale Bopp, Art Bell and the
Heaven’s Gate Cult
Loosely, the story goes that following the release of Chuck
Shramek’s photo, word “got around” that a spaceship was
following Hale Bopp.
As mentioned, it was discussed on Coast to Coast.
Remote Viewers – Ed Dames and Courtney Brown (“Far
sight Institute”) get in on the story on Art Bell’s Coast to
Coast between Late November 1996 and Jan 1997
Brown send’s Bell the (Fake) Photo allegedly showing the
companion object.
Heaven’s Gate Cult Members allegedly take this seriously.
Ed Dames remote views a UFO & a meteor shower on the
earth a year from the Hale-Bopp's aftermath.
On 22 March 1997, Members of the Heaven’s Gate Cult
committed Mass Suicide – allegedly thinking they were
going to join the spaceship “accompanying” Hale Bopp.
In the USA, there was something of an outcry and Art Bell
went off air for several weeks (initially saying he would
never return).

52. Ed Dames Killshot - 2004
Ed Dames has repeatedly stated that the Planet Earth will
be subjected to a “Killshot” Here is a synopsis of an Art Bell
Coast to Coast on 17 July 2004:
According to Dames, the harbinger of this catastrophic
event will be when the Space Shuttle program is grounded
due to meteor showers. He said Earth's population will have
only three months after this to get to designated survival
zones. Dames revealed that survival zones are marked by
crop circles, which he believes were created by an "alien
agency." In North America, the most survivable areas are in
Alberta and Saskatchewan, Dames concluded. For more
info, visit TheKillshot.com.
Space Shuttle Program ended on
21 July 2011. 3 Months later was
21 Oct 2011 – Hmmmm….

53. Ed Dames Killshot - 2012
Undeterred, on Coast to Coast on 15 Mar 2012…
Remote viewing teacher Ed Dames presented his latest insights
and predictions on such subjects as 'Solar Killshot' safe havens,
ongoing extraterrestrial intervention, the Fukushima disaster,
and war with Iran. We're not going to be hit by just one mega
solar flare, but a series of them over time (perhaps over a 1-2
year period), "that's going to turn Earth into a veritable X-ray &
proton rotisserie," he said. Locations in the southern hemisphere,
such as in Australia and Africa will have few survival zones,
though Christchurch, New Zealand is one possible sanctuary, he
said. If you aren't in a safe haven, then living underground to
avoid the high winds and dark skies, is your best option, he
added.

Arch Crawford Interview - Expert Financial
Analyst - that has been the top in the U.S.
previously using Planetary Alignments. Predicting
a Solar Kill Shot - November due to Alignments
I interviewed Arch Crawford and expert Financial
Analyst about his predictions for November 2013.
Arch has been a top financial analyst since the
1960s. He uses astrology to predict what will
happen in the markets and due to that he has
been named a top analyst for a few different
years in the markets.
He is predicting major events for November and
due to the planetary alignments he is predicting a
solar flare kill shot possibly happening on the
13th of November.

56. Eric Julien - aka Jean Ederman - 2006
“What will occur on May 25, 2006? Perhaps a planetary
catastrophe originating from the Atlantic Ocean due to
a medium size impact event. On this assumption, a
series of giant waves, including one méga-tsunami
almost two hundred meters in height, will be born from
a succession of underwater eruptions. These watery
giants, decreasing with distance, will touch the majority
of the Atlantic coasts; in particular, those most at risk
lie between the equator and the tropic of Cancer. The
victims of May 25 2006 will be tens of millions.”

57. Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s)
The JW’s are well known
for telling people that
they should consider
“God” in various ways.
Over the last 100 years,
they have given various
dates when we will be in
the “last days”….
Charles Taze Russell,
founder of the group that
evolved into the JW’s is
memorialised with an 8foot high stone pyramid in Rosement Cemetery,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Russell predicted an endof-world scenario would
happen in 1914.

57
58. Many JW Prophecies
Have Been Wrong…
There are a number of websites which careful show where the JW’s have
been completely inconsistent over the last few decades with their
published writings and statements…
“As one reads the prophetic statements below, it is important to bear in mind just
how bold the Organization is in claiming direct inspiration of God in what it
publishes. Yet what you will observe is an ever changing system of doctrine. Take
careful note at how they make bold claims of events to happen in a specific year,
then as soon as the date passed, they do an about face and say, "we never said
that". Because the organization that revolves around print, it is simply a matter of
"being more noble minded and searching the Watchtower to see if these things are
so." (Acts 17:11) Reading the quotes below causes one to ask, not what the
Organization got wrong, but did the Organization get anything right? Currently the
Organization rejects.”
About 100,000 Witnesses left the order in 1975, when yet another “end
times” prediction failed…
58
59. A Few Failed Predictions of “End Times”
JW’s have later glossed over these in subsequent publications:
1888 "In this chapter we present the Bible evidence proving that the full end of the times of the gentiles,
i.e., the full end of their lease of dominion, will be reached in A.D. 1914; and that the date will be the
farthest limit of the rule of imperfect men. And be it observed, that if this is shown to be a fact firmly
established by the Scriptures, it will prove; Firstly, that at that date the Kingdom of God, for which our
Lord taught us to pray, saying, Thy Kingdom come, will obtain full, universal control, and that it will then
be set up, or firmly established, in the earth, on the ruins of present institutions." (The Time Is At Hand,
1888, p. 76, 77)
1915 "In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an
established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the
kingdom of God, will be accomplished near the end of A.D. 1915. (The Time Is At Hand, 1915 edition, p.
99)
1922 "The period must end in 1925. The type ending, the antitype must begin; and therefore 1925 is
definitely fixed in the scriptures. every thinking person can see that a great climax is at hand. The
Scriptures clearly indicate that the climax is the fall of Satan's empire and the full establishment of the
Messianic kingdom. This climax being reached by 1925, and that marking the beginning of the fulfilment of
the long promised blessings of life to the people, millions now living on earth will be living then and those
who obey the righteous laws of the new arrangement will live forever. Therefore it can be confidently said
at this time that millions now living will never die." (Golden Age, Jan. 4, 1922, p. 217)
1931 "God's kingdom has begun to operate. His day of vengeance is here and Armageddon is at hand and
certain to fall upon Christendom and that within an early date. God's judgment is upon Christendom and
must shortly be executed." (J. F. Rutherford, Vindication, Vol. I, p. 147, 1931)
1968 "More recently, the book entitled "Famine-1975!" [by W. & P. Paddock, 1967, pp. 52,55,61.] said
concerning today's food shortages: "Hunger is rampant throughout country after country, continent after
continent around the undeveloped belt of the tropics and subtropics. Today's crisis can move in only one
direction -toward catastrophe. Today hungry nations; tomorrow starving nations." … "By 1975 civil
disorder, anarchy, military dictatorships, runaway inflation, transportation breakdowns and chaotic unrest
will be the order of the day in many of the hungry nations." (The Truth That Leads To Eternal Life, p 88-89,
1968)

60. 100’s of “Armageddon” Type
Predictions…
It’s not just JW’s and religions that have told us to “prepare”, there are many other sources –
including those said to come from ET’s.
A page on the “Anomalist” site lists 213 different predictions involving ET’s
35. Max B. Miller of Flying Saucers International interpreted Nostradamus as predicting for
1953 "A third world war will come to the world. A great ship from another world of higher
intelligence shall land and intervene."
36. Donald Keyhoe hoped his book Flying Saucers from Outer Space would prepare Americans
for the "final act of the saucer drama." He termed 1954 a "possibly fateful year" in which
Russians could stage a mass A-bomb attack by paralyzing defense efforts with rumors that
alien machines were actually secret Red weapons.
42. July 28, 1954. Affa of Uranus passes along a message through contactee Francis Swan
indicating, "This earth is really going to end as stated in the Holy Bible around 1956."
69. August 3, 1958. Necoma of Jupiter warns Americans by ham radio that they must stop
hydrogen and atom bomb tests because they will eventually cause the entire solar system to
blow up.
109. Judgment Day was due to commence November 22, 1969 according the entity named
Ox-Ho. It would involve a series of cataclysms that would culminate in the tilting of the
earth's axis. The contactees, Light Affiliates, claim Judgment Day did take place as scheduled,
but they frankly admit they misinterpreted the messages about the world's collapse.
148. Vera Gregovic convinced a Beverly Hills urologist that space aliens in league with the CIA
would trigger a nuclear war on May 1, 1976
208. Alexander Collier, friend of Andromedans, predicts between now and 2007 that Saudi
Arabia will become the North Pole. Atlantis, Lemuria, the hollow inner earth, and
reincarnation will be scientifically proven.

61. Planet X Is Nigh!
It’s here! Can’t you see it?
Tsunamis! Earthquakes! Volcanoes!
62. Looking for Planet X / Nibiru
Alleged to be an earth-size or larger
planet which has been “Inbound” into
the inner solar system for years.
Claims by people like Nancy Lieder
Jim McCanney, may at times, sound
convincing to some people.
These claims have been ongoing for
about 10 years and are most probably
based the result of the popularity of
the research of Zechariah Sitchin who
reports in his Earth Chronicles books
that the Sumerian Tablets talk of the
planet Nibiru which has a 3600 year
62
orbital period around our sun.
Nancy Lieder
Jim McCanney
63. Sitchin’s Nibiru
According to the interpretation given
by Sitchin of Sumerian cosmology, The solar
system would have a tenth planet, following
an elliptical orbit, would be within the system
center once every 3,600 years. According to
Sitchin, the hypothetical planet would be
captured by the gravitational pull of Neptune
and deviated from its path towards the inside,
billions of years ago when our solar system
was still in the making. So, according to the
Azerbaijani writer, Nibiru was a wandering
planet "Captured" by the Sun's gravity.
Nibiru is also called the "planet of the
passage. "Every 3,600 years, in the transition
to its perihelion (So close to the Sun and the
inner planets), Nibiru, due to the gravitational
perturbations due to its mass, it would be the
source of great upheavals and cataclysms on
Earth.
Zechariah Sitchin

64. Nancy Lieder, Zeta Talk and Planet X
Nancy Lieder’s Zeta Talk website is quite extensive and
she claims to channel “The Zetans” on demand to
answer people’s questions.
However, some answers she gives have been
hopelessly wrong… In 2002, the Author of a “Planet X
Critical” Website wrote
“Nancy started posting to astronomy newsgroups in
1995, about the time comet Hale Bopp was
discovered, claiming that there was no comet. Hale
Bopp, she claimed, was simply a nova used as a
distraction so people wouldn't see Planet X. In the
spring of 1997 comet Hale Bopp put on a spectacular
show even moving across the Orion area, very near
where the mythical Planet X was supposed to be.
Pretty strange for a distraction to move across the
area it is supposed to be distracting people from! Now
7 years after this claim was made we still don't see
Planet X, even without a distraction.”
Lieder is still talking about Planet being visible on
SOHO images in 2009/2010

65. Planet X – Zeta Talk
http://www.zetatalk.com/newsletr/issue167.htm
Tail of Planet X
Planet X has been appearing on SOHO
and the Stereo Ahead for some
months now, in approximately the
4:30 o'clock position. But sometimes
something bright with a tail shows up
in other places, above the Sun, or to
the left of the Sun. If this is Planet X,
why is it moving around so much?
ZetaTalk Explanation 1/2/2010: When
the Winged Globe or the Red Cross
appears to the lower right on the Sun,
this is the Planet X corpus. We have
explained that the tail is vast, the
Moon swirls swinging to either side of
Planet X by 5 million miles, but the tail
itself swings further than that. During
the hour of the pole shift, when Planet
X is a mere 14 million miles from the
Earth, the tail is whipping the Earth,
depositing hail and red dust. The tail
itself can catch the light, reflecting this
to Earth, in what appears to be a blaze
of light with a tail drifting away. It is
charged, so clings to itself in places, so
is thicker in some places than others,
just as an electrical charge can raise
the hair on your head. As Planet X
turns its charged tail toward the Earth,
increasingly, such sudden appearances
will increase, consternating NASA.
65
66. (Prof?) Jim McCanney
In 2006, he was a proponent of irreversible global warming.
A synopsis on the Coast to Coast Website of his 19 Mar 2006 says:
“Far out in the solar system, Planet X-type objects could become
enshrouded in clouds of dust and gas and thus be hard to see, said
McCanney, but he noted that a large object could be quite visible
by the time it reached Pluto. Once in this position, such an object
could take hundreds of years to approach Earth or it could come in
at a "superspeed" in a matter of weeks, he warned.”
From another website: Mr. McCanney often calls himself
"Professor McCanney" although his own biography only shows that
he was an introductory lecturer at Cornell University for 2 years in
1979-80. No where does Mr. McCanney show that he earned the
title Professor. He's apparently been working as a Certified
Licensed massage therapist! He does not seem to have worked in a
scientific or academic capacity since Cornell more than 20 years
ago.
Some debunking websites uses McCanney’s “Solar capacitor”
description to “debunk” the idea of electric charges being
important in certain effects on our weather, comets etc – so
McCanney’s other rather bogus statements make it easier for
some scientists to gloss over what “The Electric Universe”

Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 9:31:18 AM
Subject: RE: [FWD: DEAD ASTRONOMERS- RESENDING]
So can you send me a link? I've seen a lot of photos claiming to show planet X - but
none of the ones I've looked actually show it - they show various things from CCD
artefacts/over exposure to sundogs to blank areas of an image - every one that I've
seen has been a case of misidentification.
Please can you send me a few pictures - along with details about who took it,
time/date and equipment used. This would be the data required for verification and
checking by anyone (I have a reasonable telescope - which should not even be needed
if it's of decent size and close. For example, Mars is about 180 million miles away - it's
about 1/2 the size of the earth and we can see it at night with the naked eye. Use this
as a "BS-guide" if you will.
Any measurements on Planet X? How big is it in relation to the Earth? How far away is
it? What colour is it?

70. Here is Planet X… Honest!
“GG (21 Oct 2012): I took it from
eastern Penobscot, Maine, looking
west on October 2nd 2012 with a
12 mp Fuji digital and a green #12
filter. There are thousands of
photos on poleshift.ning.com”
“It came from the direction of
Orion in 1983, came into the solar
system in 1999, came around from
behind the sun in 2003 and
stopped. As gravity pushes, it
stopped the earth, venus, and the
dark twin of the earth in its orbit
while they stopped it in its orbit.
Poleshift occurs in the 1 hour to
break free of the dance/cups, and
that will send a 600 ft tidal wave
around the world, and in your case,
UK will sink 150 ft.; therefore
waves of 750-850 will erase the UK
and Denmark. The date has never
been announced.”
70
71. Here is Planet X… Honest!
GG: “[Planet X is] 29,000 miles in diameter, cloudy
oceanic, volcanic and atmospheric planet
30 million miles from earth below the line from earth to
the sun at the 5 o'clock
position; its 5 million mile long tail pointed right at
earth.”
AJ: So it's roughly 3.5 times bigger than the earth. And
it's therefore about 7 times bigger than Mars. At
30,000,000 miles from us, it's about 1/3 the distance to
the sun and 6 times nearer than Mars. So I guess it
should be about 40 times bigger in the sky than Mars is
(feel free to correct any of my figures). That's a pretty big
object - and if it's greenish as your photo suggests, it
should be pretty obvious.
GG: “And Zetatalk.com answers all your questions. It has
its own google search engine for its own 39,000 pages of
questions from the public and answers from the Zetas.”

72. Planet X - IRAS
IRAS – the Infrared Astronomical
Satellite – was launched on 26th
Jan 1983.
For several months, IRAS
surveyed the sky in Infra-red –
detecting objects too faint to be
seen in visible light.
In 1983/1984 stories began that it
had detected an object that was
way out in the solar system but
too faint to be seen in the normal
optical range.
It was tentatively suggested by 1
or 2 scientists it could be a distant
“10th Planet” – Planet X – or a
brown dwarf = Cool Star”
companion to the Sun
Stories appeared in the
Washington Post (30 Dec 1983),
New York Times (30 Jan 1983 –
only 4 days after the launch….)

76. Further Study - No Apparent Evidence of
Planet X in IRAS Data
What did IRAS Find?
The conspiracy theory of IRAS is primarily due to there
not being any follow-up news reports. NASA obviously
put a lid on the news according to the Planet X
supporters. In reality what IRAS found was not an
exciting or newsworthy discovery. Nothing unknown
and mysterious for sensational headlines as in the case
of the 1983 story.
According to Dr. Mike Dworetsky, Director University of
London Observatory, "The object in question was
eventually identified as a denser knot of "interstellar
cirrus" in Taurus (not in Orion but a bit to the west)
while the other objects the team were interested in
were identified as infra-red-bright galaxies."
"The object was designated as 0412+085 in Houck J.R.
et al, Astrophysical Journal Letters vol 278, p L63, 1984
and reported as infrared cirrus in Houck, J.R. et al,
Astrophysical Journal Letters vol 290, p. L5, 1985. The
other objects, as the article stresses, were identified as
very faint galaxies."
So what did IRAS find? A knot of interstellar cirrus,
which is simply an area of dust grains between the
stars. This would not make a very exciting news story,
certainly not up to the 1983 Washington Post story.

77. Planet X - Conclusions
I have seen no credible evidence that there is a large planet anywhere
in our solar system.
It seems to me that if an amateur can detect a comet only 5 miles in
diameter when it is as far away as Jupiter, they would easily see a larger
object much further out – with advanced and semi-automated
observing equipment.
All Planet X predictions have so far been hopelessly wrong and at least
some of those promoting the stories don’t understand the figures they
are using and the images they are seeing – they don’t seem able to
compare them to data about the solar system that we already know
and can observe.
The Sun may have a binary star companion – or an additional planet –
but it must be extremely difficult to detect if it is there bearing in mind
that:

Objects smaller than Pluto have recently been observed at far greater
distances.
Over 1000 extrasolar (outside the solar system) planets have now been
detected – by using missions like Kepler.
Though NASA could be well be covering up knowledge about a present
or ancient “Planet X”, it would be far more difficult to keep Amateur
Astronomers quiet about such things – they’d want their names in the
history books!
Perhaps Sitchin’s Planet X is not in the orbit he says/said – or has been
confused in Mythology for something else.
It does seem like there may have been another Planet in our Solar
System which exploded, as Tom Van Flandern (deceased) has
hypothesised.

78. Overall Conclusions
Comets come round every few years but are
currently not predictable in the way they will
appear to us.
More observations and better technology now
allow us to catalogue and analyse Comets and
NEO’s more thoroughly – but this does little or
nothing to increase our safety from the effects
they could have – at short notice.
Planet X may be out there – but it’s a LONG way
off and probably not that big or warm/hot!
“Catastrophists” and Preachers will likely exploit
the fears created by the passage of Comets and
the occurrence of natural disasters - as much as
they have always done.
Oh, and 21st Dec 2012 was said, by many to be
some kind of “cut off” date, but I feel little
different in Nov 2013 compared to this time last
year. I, for one, have not “ascended”… However,
78
we are involved in some kind of “transition”.
79. We’re STILL Here! Keep Going!
So Far ALL of the End of the World
Predictions have – errrr… Been WRONG!
Sadly, we have borne witness to quite a few
disasters in the last 20 years, such as
Tsunamis, Oil Disasters, Wars, Powerful
Storms etc.
It seems these will continue to occur.
This exploitation of fear will only end when
the knowledge of hidden advanced
technologies that can “change the whole
game” is more widely understood and those
covering up this knowledge are fully
identified and their agenda halted.
Then, we will not be subject, to the same
degree, to all the factors that have caused
some of the terrible events he have seen in
the last few years.

81. A NASA Spaceweather Update has just noted that Comet Ison is now visible (see below). I have been asked by Omar Fowler to talk
about Comet Ison at his Derby PRA Group on Tues 26th Nov (this is very local to me) - so I am doing some research on it. Some think
Ison will be very bright - some thought it was set to crash into the earth (seems like that is said of almost every comet that comes
around now). I will also be talking about the recurring themes predicitions of catastrophes etc.
The traditional explanation for comets - in most text books and websites - is that comets are "dirty snowballs" - a mixture of dust and
ice - hardly solid even - you can see a typical explanation used in shcools here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/edexcel_pre_2011/space/planetsstarsandgalaxiesrev2.shtml
However, it has become clear in the last 20 years or so that this "dirty snowball" model is wrong - as another recent update from NASA
- about asteroids seems also to indicate:
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/07nov_6tails/
Despite this, evidence is ignored in favour of coming up with theoretical scenarios - and classic scientific statements about the data
returned from probes that have visited and even crashed into comets such as: ""We know the ice is there," he said. "It's just wellhidden." (Dr. Laurence Soderblom of the U.S. Geological Survey)

One of the key factors that remains largely unspoken of in mainstream astronomy is the role of electricity - this is covered in depth in
this excellent 1.5 hour video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=34wtt2EUToo
(which is a little repetitve and I think needs editing a bit, but is still higly informative). Most of what's in the video seems to be
summarised here:
