Nasa employee warning on solar flares

reply to post by shadwgirl


July 18- Aug 1 are some dates to watch for, as Elenin passes closest to the sun. Per Nostradamus an event in the near future will strike CERN in Geneva caused by a solar storm, with precursor evidence being the red aur bor in the sky. Check solar effects on magnetic devices and look at what CERN is and cooled by. RayPoz comes to destroy all those who oppose him.

I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt . I remember hearing about how there has been more a uptick on flares recently. I also remember this link i saved about nasa warning of flares last year.
Nasa warns solar flares from 'huge space storm' will cause devastation
I might be prepared for alot of thing but being prepared for no internet sounds like hell on earth.

ATS has turned into a kindergarten.

What happened to the serious ATS posters of yore?

I am going to be seriously pissed if the cable goes out and I can't watch American Idol.
That is what the country needs to worried about right now.
What in the # are we going to do with a zombified nation full of social retards wandering around
pissed off because they can't watch American Idol or send text messages or get on facebook????

Now THAT'S scary.

God, I hope our Astronauts will be fine. I watched my local evening news today, their reporting and showing the very last space shuttle launch. I was watching real History live! It was emotional.

I seen he very first shuttle launch live but anyway there is a lady on the web saying she had a vision of the shuttle crashing and burning up , hope she is wrong.

Wow i bet it seemed like magic to you back them?
And i thought the last shuttle launch went off with out a hitch or did i mishear something again?

Ok,,,i hate too date myself,, but imagine sitting in front of a black and white tv watching,
If the moon was going too hold the weight of the lander,,we were kids ,, then,,, when the astronat , starts too climb down the ladder, then ,,jumps,, and he's walking on the moon,, good song too,,,

So this NASA guy said satellites are gonna start falling out of the sky because of a solar flare? LOL

If a satellite blew up, the bits would still be in orbit for years.

I bet his wife or young son was in the kitchen laughing their tits off at dad doing his 'NASA worker' routine.

I can't say that never crossed my mind either but I like to think NASA has everything under control.

Lol!
and NASA also likes you to think they have everything "under control"
when that couldnt be farther from the truth.

Do you also like to think "all is well with the world, no problems" ?

Why would this be scaremongering? It's even been discussed in the MSM in case you didn't notice.
If our electricity gets fried it won't be a walk in the park, some sort of idealistic la la land. Everything from your pay check, pension, utilities, food, medicine etc will stop. Life as we know it will stop. Which is why you should be stocking up now.

Just a quick note for those calling "B.S. on the thread". Another poster already looked into OP's posting history and there is NOTHING in it that would indicate a hoax, prank, etc. Additionally, the OP originally called the thread "weird phone call at work" or something like that. Since OP was looking for information, and I know a lot of people on this board have a lot of knowledge on this kind of topic, I suggested a title change to get the ball rolling and find the information specialists. For what it's worth, I really don't think OP is up to anything at all other than sharing something that happened.

Thank you for this. I'm not trying to pull anyone's leg. This is a conversation I had with a customer at work while trying to assist him with a request for a particular station. I have no way to prove this happened but I don't believe I have ever posted anything on this subject before either. I will on occasion post interesting articles that I find that could be related to subjects on this site. I'm not trying to scare anyone, including myself. I admit that sometimes I am a little gullible but I did state that I'm not sure he was actually with nasa. It is possible that he was just repeating something that he had heard on tv or read on a site such as this one.(that's what my boss thinks). I do appreciate all the input on this thread and hopefully will take away a plethora of info because I think some of you are geniuses when it comes to science. In no way am I trying to promote an end of times scenario. Personally, I don't believe we can predict when the world will end. I would rather it be a surprise.

I really wouldn't worry too much about a single conversation, as posters have said already you've no idea who the individual is, their circumstance or agenda.

Personally all the 2012 beliefs, Elenin, Nibiru, pole shift etc seem be to be little more than science fiction often mixed with an underlying feeling that we are in some way in the end times. None are backed up with anything remotely scientific and seem to consist of interpreting unrelated events to prove an unrelated belief.

Having said that if I had to put my money on one disaster that is based on reality then it would be a solar flare that destroyed much of the fabric of modern society e.g. communications, power supply, utility infrastructure etc. It's happened before relatively recently. I'm speculating with the best of them here, but if we wanted to look for a rational explanation for NASA preparedness warnings then a cycle of increased solar activity would fit the bill. They wouldn't be able to predict an actual solar event beyond entering a time frame where increased solar activity was likely.

I work with satellites, there is no real danger here. Satellites only have a small shelf life, they have boosters with are constantly burning to push them back into place as they get pulled by the suns gravitational pull. Obviously you cant refuel a satellite so after a few years it dies out and its left there. It doesnt FALL back to earth. Theres thousands and thousands of dead satellites up there.

Also, the Solar flar wouldn't do physical damage to it, It might shut down the electrical parts of it, but that would just turn it into another dead satellite. For it to fall back to earth it would have to be turned so that the boosters were pushing it back down. This is a small possibility, so yes it could happen. But... Finally.....

Satellites have fallen to earth before and 99% of them burn up on reentry. You might be left with a few bits of heavy metal crashing, but for all these events to happen, its unlikely anyone would be affected.

Just my take on the satellite part. Id have thought the guy from Nasa would have known this. Unless he worked for the "design the logo" team.

Whole story stinks of yawn to me anyway.

Might be a good thing...

For one, having the internet and other communications crash. ppls would get off Facebook and have to actually talk to each other face to face and get out of the house...lol

LOL
so true

This is also very weird NASA has recently set up a section on their site stessing that NASA employees need to be "prepared" and set up a preparedness plan to be ready in case of a major natural disaster, another terrorist attack and stress and over to be prepared. Here is a good video on it:



Also on November 9th 2011 FEMA is planning their first national emergency broadcast that will take over all TV and Radio...

Here is the link to the new section on NASAs site asking them to be prepared:
www.nasa.gov...

Heres what it actually says on the NASA website
Listen to Administrator Bolden’s thoughts on why it’s important that we “know our stuff” and “be prepared”.

And here is the link to the FEMA site and their first National emergency Broadcast test:

Very strange and interesting. I've heard so much about the sun and it's cycle as of late, Don't know what to believe. I think were in cycle 24 now.

Solar activity waxes and wanes in 11-year cycles. Lately, we've been experiencing the low ebb, "very few flares, sunspots, or activity of any kind," says David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center. "Solar minimum is upon us." The previous solar cycle, Solar Cycle 23, peaked in 2000-2002 with many furious solar storms. That cycle decayed as usual to the present quiet leaving solar physicists little to do other than wonder, when would the next cycle begin? The answer is now. "New solar cycles always begin with a high-latitude, reversed polarity sunspot," explains Hathaway. "Reversed polarity" means a sunspot with opposite magnetic polarity compared to sunspots from the previous solar cycle. "High-latitude" refers to the sun's grid of latitude and longitude. Old cycle spots congregate near the sun's equator. New cycle spots appear higher, around 25 or 30 degrees latitude. The sunspot that appeared on January 4th fits both these criteria. It was high latitude (30 degrees N) and magnetically reversed. NOAA named the spot AR10981, or "sunspot 981" for short. Sunspot 981 was small--only about as wide as Earth, which counts as small on the grand scale of the sun--and it has already faded away. But its three day appearance on Jan. 4-6 was enough to convince most solar physicists that Solar Cycle 24 is underway. The onset of a new solar cycle is significant because of our increasingly space-based technological society. "Solar storms can disable satellites that we depend on for weather forecasts and GPS navigation," says Hathaway. Radio bursts from solar flares can directly interfere with cell phone reception while coronal mass ejections (CMEs) hitting Earth can cause electrical power outages. "The most famous example is the Quebec outage of 1989, which left some Canadians without power for as much as six days." Air travel can be affected, too.

More solar storms also means more auroras—"the greatest show on Earth." During the last solar maximum, Northern Lights were spotted as far south as Arizona, Florida and California. Not so long ago, only visitors to the Arctic regularly enjoyed auroras, but with increasing attention to space weather and constantly improving forecasts, millions of people at all latitudes will know when to go out and look. Much of this is still years away. "Intense solar activity won't begin immediately," notes Hathaway. "Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max, expected in 2011 or 2012." It's a slow journey, but we're on our way. While Solar Cycle 24 has begun, Solar Cycle 23 has not ended. Both cycles will coexist for a period of time, perhaps a year or more, as one dies down and the other comes to life.

Solar Cycle 24 Begins

This is one of many stories I've been reading about, Explaining Solar Cycles it's from 2008. Very strange caller you've had. Maybe, he's so excited, He's just telling everyone he talks to. I don't know, Like I said, I don't know what or who to believe, about this subject. We will just have to wait and see. Thanks for sharing. SandF

NASA is geared up to study the active sun during Cycle 24 with the launch of a new spacecraft, the Solar Dynamics Observatory. "SDO is a very special observatory," says project scientist Dean Pesnell at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "Using a technique called helioseismic imaging, the spacecraft will be able to look inside the sun where solar activity begins. SDO will join SOHO, STEREO, Hinode and other missions already in orbit to improve our understanding of solar storms and lay the groundwork for better space weather forecasts."

Wow, you are pretty sad!! You seriously need American idol and facebook to have a fulfilling life?? Wow, that is true hell for me dude. I personally cannot wait until we get taken out big time. I know how to cook, on a grill, we have an awesome water filter, dried beans, a vegetable garden, we can grow in hydroponics, we have sprouts we can grow in a mason jar, we know how to can, and the list goes on. I have books up the ying yang and that is all I need!! Screw TV, and the internet, maybe we need something like this disaster to wake us the hell up!!

I believe this solar flare is going to happen, and when the # hits the fan, my family will be prepared, so go on and believe what your TV tells you, and go on spending, because the weak, and unprepared will be taken out first!! Have a great day!!

Nasa TV showing the docking right now, pretty awesome LIVE footage
