You have no idea how big this comet is, so I am not sure why you are trying to tell us how much bigger it needs to be.
Funny how science stands in the way of itself on a regular basis, gotta be proven totally wrong, several times before the rules of physics get altered, AGAIN and AGAIN.
Oh wait, it is all theories presented as facts, until they are changed!!
And this is the greatest system we can ever have too. !!

Well I won't call anyone that wants to believe in EU theory "kooks" or anything like that. I'm sure people thought Copernicus was a "kook" too, heh.
My attitude comes from what I read here on ATS, where it shows EU adherents are very deeply entrenched into the whole doomsdayer world ending attitude.
** Astronomers looks at comets and see harmless "dirty snowballs".
** Electric Universers look at comets and see "Worldwide Power Disruptions", "X flares", "its going to increase radiation on earth", earthquakes, "the resulting photon flare up will engulf the Earth", "the photon flash will be so great that it will instantly turn everything on the Earth’s surface into light", CME's, pole shifts, "earth changes", "elevated electron levels", "can cause fault slippage", "an extinction level event", "another Carrington event", "economic collapse", changes in "vibrations", blackouts, increase in crime, looting and pillaging, emitting X rays, causing the sun to go dim, affects on our magnetic field, energized changes on Earth, "super storms", "radio disruption", "dangerous", TPTB censorship and coverups, TPTB false flags, influencing weather, people will behave differently,
"a major major super huge thing", "this is exactly like armageddon", and "...there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it except panic."
And all of that, just from three references on this one ATS thread page.

It is not that there isn't Any media reports on ISON, it is that the reports are milktoast at best.
The Op is right, this is a very unusual comet so far, and nothing the debunkers have posted here comes close to disproving this, the main point of the Op IMO. Speculation that ISON could be the comet of the millennium is far fetched at all.
There are numerous points that make this comet very unique.
It was recently discovered.
It might never return
It is coming in at a very steep angle.
It is believed to be a very large comet.
It has came relatively close to Mars, and will come relatively close to Mercury.
When ISON comes around the sun, it is to shoot up above the orbital plane, but will cross the Earths orbital path at a point where it crosses over the Earth. Should ISON shoot back across the orbital plane, it could come very, very close to Earth.
The thing I wonder, is did Mar's light up as ISON passed.
The biggest question is, what will this comet tell us about classical physics theory in comparison to Plasma theory.

Don't ask why, but I cracked up when I read this.
When you stop ceaslessly berating NASA and science in general, stop seing conspiracies and coverups around every corner, and actually start paying attention to all the great work they do (along with all the non-NASA and amateur astronomers), then you start enjoying it and appreciating space and science like it should be.

Made me chuckle as well, must have been how he said it or it just popped up out of the blue..
Anyway it has been a right riveting read this thread, thanks OP and the participants..edit on 12/11/2013 by lewtra because: add quote
We are due for a pass by Mercury in just two days, then perihelion around the sun, then it passes by us here on planet Earth. Fireworks in the sky - and a lot of questions will be asked by an awful lot of people. The spin doctors will be busy, and IF the grid does go down it will be back up again. Things are changing fast.
Plasma discharge off the right of the comet and small object sighted travelling beside and to the left of ISON claimed to be present in the images of the Japanese video. Interesting.

You do realize how large an object is can be found out by using physics and observational data, yes?

What was it before that you said about The Deep Impact Space Probe not being anywhere near ISON? Yeah bro, it was you who claimed that we all could not comprehend how large space was
The images were taken by the spacecraft's Medium-Resolution Imager ... from a distance of 493 million miles (793 million kilometers).
