Oorang, he later states that the info he posted was not classified info and implied he knew more than he was stating publicly.

This just in from SpaceWeather.com

X-FLARE: Big sunspot 564 unleashed an X-class solar flare at 2:03 GMT on Feb. 26th. We don't know if the blast hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth, because SOHO coronagraph images are not yet available. Stay tuned for updates.

Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. There are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.

Many thanks for that update. I agree with you, he seems legit. I just got a few more grey hairs :-)
