Comets act like capacitor and everything they discovered in the missions, deep impact is one, went against their theories but were predicted by the Electric Universe Theorists. Note, they range from zero water, to 0.5%, based on the ones directly observed, they're not dirty iceballs, and they carry a charge, EM charge, they emit Xrays.
Quite normally a comet will remain small and hard to see, until it gets closer to the sun.
Both Honda and Elenin are close, so wonder why this article is given now. They're not on a known collision course, the whole thing with them will be determined by the size of the EM charge they're carrying and the interaction between the sun and comet, when its closest. They will affect us in some way, due to the charge, and due to photons, and the magnetic portals that link the sun to earth even if it doesnt result in a huge cme.

Absolutely, why don't we as a species spend our efforts constructing a means to protect ourselves from external threats that we would have otherwise missed. Build us a shield, so to speak.
Once we do that, then I suppose we can go back to killing ourselves.
I am not opposed to a faked invasion of sorts, if it gets everyone working together. Could you imagine what we could accomplish as a race

Um, forgive my ignorance on scientific matters, but how can they NOT see it coming?
Perhaps someone with a better grasp on the subject matter can explain it to me?

I have a question why don't we have a planetary defence system for comets meteors alien invasion? I mean ronald regans star wars program, couldn't that be used for anything that poses a threat to earth? we have all those nukes everywhere put them to some good use
Despite the uncertainty, Cooke said the public shouldn't get into a panic about a potential "doomsday comet."
"Does this shower indicate that a comet's going to whack Earth? I kind of doubt it," he said. "I don't think you can infer from this meteor stream that the parent comet is in a potentially hazardous orbit."
Jenniskens as well urged some perspective, drawing on history as a guide.
"Chances are very small that the comet will actually hit us, as such impacts are rare in Earth’s history," he said.
