Now a new analysis by Coryn Bailer-Jones from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) shows those simple periodic patterns to be statistical artifacts. His results indicate either that the Earth is as likely to suffer a major impact now as it was in the past, or that there has been a slight increase impact rate events over the past 250 million years
Professors Matese and Whitmire first proposed the existence of Tyche to explain why many of these long-period comets were coming from the wrong direction. In their latest paper, published in the February issue of Icarus, the international journal of solar system studies, they report that more than 20 per cent too many of the long-period comets observed since 1898 arrive from a band circling the sky at a higher angle than predicted by the galactic-tide theory.

One might think that the lamestream media might have kept an eye on this particular headline from August 2011. Since CNN has not redacted the story as a mistake, one would have to infer that that the story simply fell off their radar, or... The Government has a forced media blackout on the subject.

Well, this comet that is coming is supposed to be fifteen times brighter than the full moon. Is it really a comet? If they tell us it is a comet they know the knowledge they have given us will steer our perception to make it appear to be a comet. A small icy exoplanet coming it would also contain ice crystals and have the same appearance as a comet as it moved through. Our knowledge steers our perception. Geologists see rocks as rocks and try to identify what the rock is made of and do not see the carved shape easily. A doctor cannot usually comprehend that religious healing or herbal cures do work, they believe what they are taught.

Either way, could explain the increasing number of comets, asteroids and meteors lately in 2013...
