Re: It's the end of the world!
Doesn't anybody find all these sudden "hoaxes" to be well, a little........hoaxy?? What if this stuff is in fact real, but "they" are trying to do damage control and claim they're all hoaxes?
I for one believe Heathyr's post from the Goro board (which I posted here). The fact that she had her meteor experience separate from any (supposed) Washington meteor experience or comet sighting is very interesting indeed. Is she the only one out there seeing such things? Probably not.
Then you factor in what JT pointed out, and which I've heard montalk talking about as well, which concerns all the major observatories *coincidentally* being down for repairs, or offline to outside use. Hmmmmmmmmmm! A little fishy, isn't it? Kinda like they don't want any more people than necessary catching a glimpse of something which might instigate panic. I don't know how strong of a scope one might need to clearly glimpse a comet, but I know the biggest one that the average folks seem to have is a 14", which is definately large. But would you need something larger, I wonder? Something on the observatory level? And is this why they made sure to lock 'em all down?
I know that I personally am going to spend some time outside looking up tonight at the sky, see what I can see. Again, we're supposed to be passing through the tail of a comet at the end of this month, I think that's a pretty big deal. I wonder if all these meteor sightings, both "hoaxes" and non hoaxes might be tied into this near-Earth comet we're approaching?
