U.S. Charges Australian Linked to al-Qaida

WASHINGTON - An Australian held at the Navy's prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will face a military tribunal for allegedly training and fighting alongside members of al-Qaida in Afghanistan (news - web sites), the Pentagon (news - web sites) announced Thursday.

Make sure you stay up on this. I am lost on space stuff.

[Quix]

Sure.

Please . . . I'm so . . . immersed or jaundiced or some such . . .

please post the one Dimitri Dudaman sp? prophecy that stands out the most to you as having probable validity.

[rickylc]

Thanks for the update.

In any case, it is very similar to other reports we have.

Meteor Explosion Lights Up The Northwestern Skies June 3, 2004 By KOMO Staff & News Services SEATTLE - Bright flashes and sharp booms were reported in the skies over the Puget Sound area early Thursday, and aviation officials said a meteor may have been the source. Nothing unusual was detected on National Weather Service radar, and authorities also ruled out aircraft problems or military flight tests. Toby Smith, a University of Washington astronomy lecturer who specializes in meteorites, told The Associated Press that scientists were looking into the cause of the skybursts reported over a wide area about 2:40 a.m. Witnesses along a 60-mile swath of the sound from near Tacoma to Whidbey Island and as far as 260 miles to the east said the sky lit up brilliantly, and many reported booming sounds as if from one or more explosions. Weather service officials at Sand Point in north Seattle said there was no storm or other meteorological activity that could have produced the skybursts. Jay Neher, a weather service meteorologist, said the agency's radar on Whidbey Island showed nothing unusual but added that the dish could have been pointed at another part of the sky at the time and could not detect objects above about 20,000 feet. Duty officers at the Federal Aviation Administration and the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station said they knew of no civilian or military airplane problems. Civilian pilots reported seeing the flash from Ellensburg, east of the Cascade Range, said an FAA duty officer who did not give her name. She also said one or more meteorites - meteors that hit the Earth - could be responsible. At Whidbey Island, Petty Officer Andrew Davis said he and others on the base about 40 miles north of Seattle saw the skyburst. "It made a pretty big bang," Davis said. "We thought it could maybe be a meteorite or something." In Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, about 260 miles to the east, Dick Haugen said he was driving to work at KVMI Radio when he saw a flash that he took to be lightning about 2:40 a.m. - then learned there were no lightning storms anywhere in the region. Ralph Gaume, head of astronometry at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., said he knew of no likely source from outer space, such as a passing comet or meteor cluster or shower, but added that meteors commonly appear at random. Another possibility, he said, would be "space junk" such as spent rocket engines or satellites falling from Earth orbit. Astronometry is the branch of astronomy that measures the size and location of celestial objects. The Skinny On Meteors/Meteorites By: Scott Sistek, KOMO Weather Producer As the officials noted, it seems it was a meteor explosion that caused the bright flash. Why do they occur? There are trillions of dust particles and tiny rocks floating in outer space. The good news is, the Earth's atmosphere protects us by making sure those objects burn up before they reach the ground. Some of the particles are moving at a very fast speed, plus the Earth is moving at roughly 67,000 mph as it orbits the sun. As the object goes from the void of outer space and enters the outer fringe of the atmosphere, the friction from the air resistance causes the object to heat up -- much like how your foot feels warm when you drag it along a carpet. The combined speed of the object plus the intense amount of braking force the Earth's air provides causes the objects to heat to incredible temperatures, burning them up before they get anywhere near the ground. However, if the objects are larger, it can take longer for them to burn up. What might have happened here is you had a rock or something that was large enough so that instead of disintegrating in the first seconds when it hit the atmosphere, it managed to survive in one piece quite a ways until its temperature reached a critical point and the rock just exploded in the sky. That would also explain the thunderous sounds, and why there was a significant delay between the flash and the boom (sound travels at only 700 mph, and figure 5 seconds for each mile away.) You can see this general process any time there's a meteor shower. Those occur when the Earth enters dust trials from past comets and those tiny particles burn up upon reaching the atmosphere, making those gorgeous streaks across the sky. Sounds like this object might have been larger, though. In checking, we are in the initial stages of a weak meteor shower -- the June Aquilids -- but there's no word if the two events are related. There are rare occasions when the rocks survive the atmosphere and can strike the Earth's ground (those would be called "meteroites") but we don't have any reports of that happening in this case. http://www.komotv.com/news/printstory.asp?id=31552

"There will be wars and rumors of wars..."

There is no way I would or could "figure out" by my own devices what is happening moment by moment. I love the TH and all the freepers here. It helps me stay connected. But I'm relying on the Word of God as a precise guidemap. Hal Lindsey IMHO is a very good Biblical author when it comes to eschatology or the study of the End Times which I feel we are well into right now! If you have read any of the books that analyze the Book of Revelation you will see that the Sixth Seal marks the first nuclear exchange at a national level and that is still not the worst that will befall the evil that has overtaken our planet. Of course long before that happens the Lord in his total love has assured us that he will first remove all the true believers so that the AntiChrist will be revealed and the Great Tribulation will begin.

"I'm thinking about getting a Sig P239 in .40. A bit easier to conceal."

Now that's a nice piece! I've been considering a Sig P245 in .45 ACP. I have a buddy, retired SpecOps guy that swears by his. One thing I have found by the school of hard knocks: For some reason, the 1911 design becomes "flawed" when the barrel length shrinks smaller than four inches.

I have owned a ParaOrdnance P10 and now a Springfield Armory "micro" 45 and both are total "jam-a-matics!" I spent a lot of $$ trying to "fix" them until I got a letter from "Wilson Combat" who offered a reliability package with the condition that they will not guarantee absolute reliability on any 1911 with a barrel under four inches.

Well I consider those guys at Wilson the pre-eminent experts on the 1911 so I think I just got the word straight from the horses mouth! I'm now looking at the Sig P245 or a Kimber Compact.

What's the date on the one in Murphy, NC?

Does anyone recall all the codes and happenings that go with Atlanta and N.C.?

Military planes falling out of the sky and this is what got me into the town of Kitty Hawk.

Long before G-8 was front page.

There were several things that kept me winding up in my searches for "things", with these areas, including the posting/use of 404 or was it 440 on the jihadi list of numbers that turns out to be the Atlanta phone area code.

A lot of my searches led to motel address and sports stadiums.

I never read his prophecies but will go take a look. Thanks, Quix.

I recall reading an article years ago that a "flock of geese" had triggered an alert at Norad. Apparently they were mistaken for a possible incoming missile.

There have been other- similar - incidents- as well as several "close calls"--one in 1983(Russia thought we had launched-during Pershing Missile dispute); I think, and the other around 1995 (the Norwegan weather rocket).

I am wondering - if objects start falling to earth- wouldn't these affect our early warning signals?

[nw_arizona_granny]

There you go with the Kitty Hawk.

The OBL picture last week, before the tape, had the Japan flag.

Japan did not get hit, but Japanese military was poisoned in Iraq.

What caught me up now, is that the Kitty Hawk is based in Japan, yes, we knew that, but then we were not dealing with a flag in a message.

No matter, what I keep having the gut feeling that it is the town of Kitty Hawk.

Also, I just read that Abdi owned a cellular phone store in Columbus. Wasn't there discussion a while back about this?

Close. Our discussion was about a group of ME types at the Mall of America. Mommiedearest's(???) daughter(???) was dating one. He REALLY didn't like having his picture taken.
