- They mentioned a lot a 3600 year period for comet Elenin
- They held too long to release pictures when I believe they were in their hands long before
- They mentioned the TAIL a lot...i still cant figure out what tail a 4km comet can produce
- Leonid Elenin popping up on every public internet source, Facebook..etc...all showing different style of English
is it really our fault we got a bit suspicious after all??
No-one mentioned a 3,600 year orbital period except for idiots with poisoned minds. It's as few as 10,000, and as much as over half a million years.
Elenin is not in Orion, it's between Leo and Sextans, and, well, here's a small fact, Comet Hyakutake, a comet with a 2km-wide nucleus, created a tail over 500 million kilometers in length. 900,000, in Elenin's case, is nothing.
And, well, if you feel that Leonid is being duplicitous, you can always go to the very site he manages and talk to him.

Thank you! Because somehow I was under the impression that Elenin was twice the size of Jupiter and I was thinking of all the raving lunatics who actually thought that Elenin would collide with Earth and the Earth wouldn't be completely obliterated!
Comprehensive and compelling S&F!

No-one knows for sure how big 'elenin' is - hell most people dont even know what it is let alone how BIG it is...but along comes weedwhacker to assure us all its nothing...just a speck in the cosmos.
The fact that hasnt been addressed in ANY thread in ANY forum here is why major earthquakes occurred when 'elenin' was aligned with the Earth and the Sun. Is that just coincidence? I doubt it.

Furthermore, if you look at the JPL model for the dates in question and try to draw a straight line from Elenin to Earth to the Sun you will find it is impossible. This indicates that even if space wasn't 3D and even if Elenin wasn't millions of miles above us there still wouldn't have been an alignment.

Another bit from the essay, linked above. (SEE if any of this sounds "famliar"....):
The "Doomsday Comet" of 1996
Beginning in 1996 minor forms of comet hysteria reared their ugly head for the first time since 1910. With the discovery of comet Hyakutake and the realization that it would pass close to Earth, some supermarket tabloids reported the comet was actually going to hit Earth--totally ignoring the predictions of astronomers. The due date came and went without a hitch and there was no further discussion.
Interestingly, one supermarket tabloid, the Weekly World News, published an article on 1996 February 13 that stated the Hubble Space Telescope had found a "doomsday comet." The article said "the famed astronomer Dr. Robert Cremson" had found the comet while examining Hubble images. He said it was the size of Europe and would hit Earth on April 7. First of all, although comets have been photographed by Hubble, no comet has ever been discovered by Hubble. Second, no one by the name of "Robert Cremson" appears in any of the records indicating use of the Hubble Space Telescope.....
How will all of you "fear mongers" and "doomsday beleivers" feel this time, next year?? When NOTHING happens (except a nice view, once-in-a-lifetime in this case....this comet won't be coming back).
Will any of those ridiculous claims be retracted? Will any who made them learn their lessons?
(I highly doubt it, based on historical precedents.......).

the only one not paying attention is YOU... the ISSUE INCLUDES what I've been talking about in my REPLY to the OP and what you chose to RESPOND TO ... So stop trying to DEFLECT and DIVERT the ISSUE which has to do with EVIDENCE that a unique ALIGNMENT of Elenin sun appear to be responsible for
causing 3 MAJOR GREAT QUAKES that occurred. The evidence shows a PATTERN thats IRREFUTABLE and anyone who denies there's a pattern is either in DENIAL or spreading THE REAL DISINFO... and since you've been a known peddler of disinfo who NEVER QUESTIONS the GOVERNMENT and nearly ever post you've ever made SUPPORTS the government and ATTACKS anyone legitimately QUESTIONING OBVIOUS FLAWS or contradictions to OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT CLAIMS, its beyond obvious to anyone with a brain who's examined all the content of your postings, that you are nothing but a PSEUDO-SKEPTIC with a hidden agenda.
Now address the ISSUE i and others have raised that relate to ELENIN in respect to it having an apparent effect on earth changes like SEISMIC events that have occurred during a specific alignment which suggests its Larger than initial calculations which astronomers have even said its size cannot yet be confirmed!

The only one that clearly has comprehension problems about the argument i've presented is YOU since no where have i said that ELENIN is causing earthquakes as you're claiming and incorrectly interpreting. Just because you lack the intellectual ability to understand the issue and argument, isn't my fault.
