They are described as being 10 to 15 times larger than a normal shooting star and bluish in color. Two people even claimed to see one land, but it has yet to be found. The Daily Camera is reporting it online here." Field reports invited.

    Has anybody else been paying attention? This thing with big-ass meteors appears to be new. (And on right time, actually. . .)

    But don't let this affect your consumerist activities, citizen. The government is already throwing up some "don't panic" propaganda.

    "Asteroids regularly explode over the Earth with the intensity of a nuclear bomb; the explosions could be mistaken for a nuclear attack and even trigger an atomic war, an Air Force general said Thursday. - At least 30 times a year, a space rock measuring a few yards across slashes into the atmosphere and explodes, releasing energy equal to that of an atomic bomb, Air Force Brig. Gen. Simon Worden told subcommittee members."

    Oh really? 30 times a year? This is the first I've ever heard about it.

    Meanwhile, the powerbrokers in the know are quietly preparing to withdraw, (after killing all the jews and arabs), into their Shadow Government strongholds beneath whatever mountain range they think will save their asses from the end of the world. Silly rabbits!

    Okay, that's my two cents. You may now return to Quake or whatever. Cheers!

  2. Nibiru is DIS-INFO. by Fantastic+Lad · · Score: 1, Troll
    That whole Planet X thing is just another dumb-ass distraction. --But there IS a phenomenon at work.

    here's a story from last year about the ark twin star, (a big ball of hydrogen which never got quite big enough to ignite, but which is more than large enough to send some planet killing debris from the Kuiper belt, thank you very much!)

    So there ain't no aliens living in Planet X coming to resuce everybody who's been good and loving. That and all the other CIA induced New-Age crapola regarding "Nibiru" is, IMHO, pure & stinking bunk.

    However, I tend to be of the thinking that the dark-star came and went about a year and a half ago; there were several half-assed "Do Not Panic, Citizen", plant stories circulating regarding this phenomenon around that time, (put there in the event that anybody on this globe might wake up and realized what was happening. That obviously didn't happen. --Or at least not with anybody who had access to a decent telescope at the time. . .).

    In any case, the Dark Star has most likely done its work. There have been 5 other big-assed meteor strikes over the last month and a half alone. . .

    Check my post on this story for links to stories of those events.
