Eric Julien, a former French military air traffic controller and senior airport manager, has completed a study of the comet 73P Schwassmann- Wachmann and declared that a fragment is highly likely to impact the Earth on or around May 25, 2006.
Comet Schwassman-Wachmann follows a five-year orbit that crosses the solar system's ecliptic plane. It has followed its five year orbit intact for centuries; but, in 1995, mysteriously fragmented.
According to Julien, this is the same year that a crop circle appeared showing the inner solar system with the Earth missing from its orbit.
He argues the "Missing Earth" crop circle was a message from higher intelligences warning humanity of the consequences of its destructive nuclear policies.
He concludes the May 25 event is tied in to the Bush administration's policy of preemptive use of nuclear weapons against Iran, and the effect of nuclear weapons on the realms of higher intelligences.

> montefina at msn.comI wonder if you may be referring to the 1946 Giacobinid meteor storm.
This is when the late Dr. Peter M. Millman conducted his classic meteor spectroscopy observation of this storm. Millman was based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada at this time and weather was unfavorable so he recruited the help of the RCAF to fly his team to North Bay where skies were clear. He had recently left the RCAF as a Squadron Leader Navigation Instructor after WWII. The spectra of these meteors indicated that they were akin to dust balls like cigarette ash rather than solid hard bodies. I don't know if the Leonids were active during the dates you mentioned as the shower has a 33 year orbital period for storm activity. !933-1966 etc.

Could that be it?
I wouldn't know, first hand. I was born in '55.
There's also this link from googling the "1946 Giacobinid meteor storm"
(meteorobs) Leo 2001 coverage in S&T 3/2002
And at times, in the desert of Jordan that night, I even shared the impression which Robert Liefeld recalls from the 1946 Giacobinid meteor storm (on p. 103): In 1999, too, it "felt like you were looking up at a cone of light falling from the sky."
Well, my anniversary is on May 24th, so I guess the hubbie and I better make it memorable.
I go to settlement on my house sale on the 24th. I will deposit the check ASAP.
Thanks for the warning!
"That quote was from the SPACE.COM article and was by Don Yeomans, head of NASA's Near Earth Object Program at JPL. Not the Frenchy ATC guy."
Thanks! I guess I was thinking that Frenchy must have read the SPACE.COM article. I will make sure to raise a toast to Don Yeomans at the upcoming barbeque. It's raining here all weekend and the kids are all miffed they can't use the telescope.
Even the Easter Bunny wears tin foil hats!
You know what this means, don't you? It was the cussed aliens that threw the election to Bush in 2000!!
Or, it means that the aliens can see the future. I'm now in my trance/meditation pose, summoning the aliens to give me most excellent stock tips...
I was dragged outside and made to look. They said I would never see anything like this again, although I didn't appreciate it at the time. It must have been summer, or there was no snow anyway. I have never seen a meteor storm like it since. Nothing even close.
Maybe this sort of cleansing ...?
We were shut out on the Leonids meteor storm in 2001 here in the Mid South by cloud cover. I followed it intently, but even if we had been able to see it I wouldn't have because of my failing eyesight.
I've had recent eye surgery and gotten new correction in the combination of artificial implant lenses, glasses and contact lenses. It's been nearly a month and a half and there hasn't been a truly clear night for looking at the stars since I got my new vision. That is the thing I'm most looking forward to. I have hope that we will have a meteor storm from this near miss mini comet, and that God has set up this show just for me.
I would die content if I get to see that.
I live in a place where there is no night sky at all half the year, and then in the rest of the year it is overcast, and if not overcast then it is forty below. But, all things considered there is plenty to see and no real complaint. We're grateful for what we have. Take care.
It's always something, isn't it...
Ping.
Tell me about it..
Don't reschedule. Maybe the aliens plan to abduct all of us from the dental chairs and save us from the comet. Sort of an alien's version of Noah.
Yes, first payment not due for 45 days, and no down payment if you lease! Happy motoring!
