Terral03 has already left for his group meet in the caves of the Ozarks .. he is really worried.
His is the first video, and he is an astronomer.

Comet Elenin is coming!

It is called Elenin since it was discovered by Leonid Elenin. I expect the internet to soon be ringing with rumors and news bytes about this comet. For now, there isn't much to say so I'm sharing what I've received in private from an astronomer at a big observatory that shall remain anonymous for the moment. He says:
1. It is too early to accurately predict the future path - it's orbital parameters haven't been revised.
2. Among the observable hyperbolic and parabolic comets (those that come from the Oort cloud) this one has the smallest perihelion distance and the smallest inclination to the ecliptic plane.
3. Comet Elenin's orbit may be unstable as it may encounter some dark bodies, for example, in the asteroid belt or even some Taurid objects. What would happen in those cases is a matter of luck.
4. This comet may carry a significant amount of material with it and if it follows the currently projected orbit, the Earth may very well pass through this material.
5. If Elenin is anything like what Victor Clube or James McCanney describes, we might be in for some surprises - good or bad, who knows?
When this was first discovered in December last year it was calculated that it would pass 8.8 Au (8.8 times the distance of the Sun form us) away. Now today the orbital calculation is down to 0.24 Au with a minimum as low as 0.15. This is being re-calculated all the time and could get even closer but it depends what it encounters in the Oort belt.
The Moon is 0.00256 Au form us to give you a comparison.
You should be aware the this comet could bring debris with it and we will pass through the debris trail – if it exists – around the 6th November 2011. Could this new long period comet (?) be the origin of the stories of Nibiru?

You can look at all the technical details here: Jet Propulsion Labs small-body database browser. This also has the _javascript animation from which that image was taken.
It is definitely something to be watching out for and I shall try and keep this thread updated with information as the closest approach draws nearer.

That is wicked scary. I saw that video you have the still from about the planets all lining together. Earth will not be able to take that gravitational pull if and when it does happen.
Chinese records on the correlation of heliocentric planetary alignments and earthquake activities
W. -H. Ip
Department of Applied Physics and Information Science, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USA
Received 6 January 1976; revised 3 February 1976. Available online 26 October 2002.
Abstract
A short account of the correlation of heliocentric planetary alignments and the earthquake activities in Northern China is given. It appears that such arrangement of planetary orbital positions has no effect on the triggering of earthquakes.

Good riddance, then. And no, he is most certainly not an astronomer! He is a cultist and dead-beat dad.

Let me remote view comet eli movie start looks like snow falling dust no impact storms lights DANGER, DANGER will robinson. This propaganda on elinin is all a big hoax. Nothing will happen. Danger will robinson, danger. compute, malfunction, I need oil. Elenin is a hoax, there is no proof, of it even comming close to earth. Why do they persist in this hoax?

Not that I've noticed. But what's to prevent you from doing your own research to support or refute my statement?
