Leonid Elenin did not discover the comet using a "small telescope". He discovered while reviewing imagery from this telescope.

If we found ourselves in the midst of a GMC or even a small one and most of us could not see it or even know how to look for the signs... our atmosphere would be devastated and could be quite an accelerant for a GMC.
Our atmosphere is extremely dense compared to GMC's, about a trillion times more so! Spread across great distances, up to tens of light years across, GMC's are very much thinner than even the wispiest clouds in the sky. On the other hand, GMC's are over one thousand times denser than the interstellar gases which surround them.
The clouds can reach tens of parsecs in diameter and have an average density of 10²–10³ particles per cubic centimetre (the average density in the solar vicinity is one particle per cubic centimetre).
remember these things, seemingly benign, collapse into... stars? Wow. They need the right conditions.
We are like a giant oxygenated floating flint ball.

What is this supposed to mean?
We are like a giant oxygenated floating flint ball.
Flint is not a source of fuel or oxidizer. Flint is the source of the heat to initiate combustion.
This is rather meaningless drivel. If there were more H2 around, the predominant material in GMCs, then nothing particularly interesting happens to the atmosphere. Larger amounts of fuel are dumped into the atmosphere all of the time from terrestrial sources.

You have claimed that terrestrial x-ray observatories are watching events in space. Where are these x-ray observatories?

I claimed that multiple observatories were watching it, which is true.
and again, many different observatories all over the world observing this object as well under all sorts of project names..

Here is what you claimed:

Please name some or the project names. You claim these are all over the world. Why are you balking at naming them? Folks here at ATS are probably curious about this claim. How can others do their own research if you don't name them?
I'm not balking at naming them... I have already answered your question. As soon as you figure this out, you can stop making stuff up.
I was kind enough to answer you to begin with... and now that I have answered you, you have some gall by still demanding the same thing. Aren't you afraid of how unobservant that makes you look?

I'm sorry, but nothing you have posted has answered the question. I accept that you just made it up.
