VATICAN MYSTERY SOLVED?
ANOTHER COMET THREATENS EARTH
Another possible explanation for the Vatican Mystery lies in an e-mail which we received regarding a comet that is going to make an uncomfortably close pass to earth's orbit. It has many dangerous attributes, as you will see. (Special thanks to CAUS www.caus.org for forwarding this report to U.F.O.R.C.)
MID-AUGUST; COMET LEE; CREDIT-EcoNews Service,
VANCOUVER - Remember those dramatic photos of twenty fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashing into Jupiter in July 16-22, 1994? Well, scientists at the Millennium Group are worried that Comet Lee, a wild card (non-periodic) comet first discovered by Australian Steven Lee on April 16, 1999, may pass discomfortingly close to Earth sometime starting in mid-August, 1999 and continuing through early 2000. At the very least, they say, Comet Lee may cause solar explosions (CMEs) in our solar system, earthquakes, and hurricane-like weather on Earth. At the worst, well, Shoemaker-Levy’s comet fragments crashing into Jupiter could be a pictorial warning for Earth if Comet Lee is captured in Earth-moon orbit.What has Millennium Group scientists James B. Ervin, Jim McCanney, Alexey Dmitriev, Gary D. Goodwin, Ray Ward, Hal Blondell, Don Carros, and Wayne Moody worried is that Comet Lee’s behavior is defying all predictive models by NASA's and other's super-computers.Millennium Group scientist James B. Ervin says, ““The truth of the matter about [Comet Lee] is that nobody can project its path….I believe there is ample evidence to suggest that it will pass much closer to Earth than originally anticipated….Especially, if Comet Lee is hit by a [solar explosion] during its perihelion passage.”Earl L. Crockett, another Millennium Group Scientist, says we may already be experiencing the effects of Comet Lee. “I would personally add that it may in fact already be responsible for the very weird actions we have been seeing from the sun over the last several months; i.e. the appearance that something has been "pulling" energetic charges away from the Sun in the opposite direction of Earth producing large [solar] CME's/flares that for the most part have had little electromagnetic effect here on Earth.”Scientist Jim McCanney adds, “[Comet Lee] is truly a lawless comet, and with the erratic brightening happening it is certain to be far off course every day….This could be a doozy! August is now looking like a time for the first possible trouble.”Disturbingly, scientist Ray Ward says tight military security has been mounted around official tracking of Comet Lee, impeding public knowledge and scientific study. “The word is Ultra tight security on Comet Lee. The Military side of NASA is running this show now, so forget any type of cooperation.”. Ward adds, “Too bad NASA has destroyed the [Comet] Hale-Bopp data that we could really use to help provide the correction factors needed on Comet Lee.” Comet Hale-Bopp’s closest Earth approach was on March 22, 1997. According to McCanney, planetary alignments in mid-August and September 1999 may make Comet Lee particularly hazardous. “The big key here is the upcoming planetary alignments and that it will be the electrical plasma alignments not gravity that will be the potential harm givers. Most critical is the September 6, 1999 alignment of Venus, and Earth with the new Moon….I have even considered that if the comet orbit is "hooked" enough we could see a close enough encounter that the Earth and moon could capture this thing as a permanent new member of the earth moon system, or worse; at it would flip out into a future collision course with us again and again like Venus did to Mars some 4000 years ago.”Researchers have raised concern about the potentially catastrophic effects of two other space events in mid-August, 1999, which may be compounded by Comet Lee. One is the Solar Eclipse of August 11, 1999. The other is the Earth flyby of the Cassini spacecraft on August 18, 1999, carrying 72 pounds of plutonium, equivalent to over 50% of all the radiation released since the beginning of nuclear testing. The Millennium Group is an independent group of scientists and researchers “organized to create an unbiased outlet for scientific research and critical thinking.” Millennium Group research on Comet Lee appears at:

AUGUST 18TH - CASSINI SPACECRAFT
Now, some of Nostradamus' words from over 400 years ago:"In the year 1999, and seven months from the sky will come the great King ofTerror. He will bring to life the great King of the Mongols. Before and after war reigns happily. (note: this was written before the Gregorian calendar shifted;
please interpret seven months as "eight", i.e., August 1999) "'This will be preceded by the eclipse of the sun, more obscure and tenebrous than has ever been since the creation of the world, except that eclipse after the death and passion of Jesus Christ. "From the Sky will come the Great King of
Terror..."
Cassini is an unmanned NASA deep space probe launched back in October, 1997 with an ultimate destination of reaching Saturn in 2005 (NASA's priciest space project yet; $2-3 billion invested.) Currently, Cassini is racing back towards Earth at 43,000 miles per hour with the hopes of
picking up speed in an orbital flyby around our planet. Preceded by the eclipse of the Sun by one week, Cassini arrives 400 miles above the Earth's atmosphere on August 18, 1999, to pick up speed on its way out to Saturn. The real danger of this Earth flyby is that Cassini is traveling with a fuel load of 72 pounds of Plutonium Dioxide, NASA's idea of a new propulsion source. What were they thinking?! The slightest malfunction, miscalculation, or random collision with space debris could result in the probe, and its deadly plutonium, reentering earth's atmosphere and incinerating its deadly
cargo. NASA claims the chance of such an accident resulting in a plutonium release is one in a million. Many do not agree with that assessment.
The isotope of plutonium used in Cassini, Pu-238, is especially dangerous because of its rapid rate of radioactive decay. It has a very short half-life(87.75 years) which means it emits radiation (mainly alpha particles) at a very high rate. Although it's true that alpha particles can be stopped by a piece of paper, when even a tiny microscopic particle of
Plutonium 238 is inhaled, the localized radiation (the radiation to nearby cells) can cause lung cancer and other illnesses. Plutonium Dioxide in the environment will cause death, illness, and genetic mutations for centuries to all life forms. For more Cassini data, go to:

Robert Dinse writes: This is in response to the CAUS posting about Cassini. The Plutonium Dioxide is NOT a propulsion source, it is a source ofelectrical energy to power the crafts scientific instruments, navigation, andcommunications equipment. It's a very simple concept really, heat from thenatural decay of PL-238 is used to heat a thermocouple, a junction of twodissimilar metals, to generate electricity. It's a fairly reliable way ofgenerating electricity in the long term because there are no moving partsrequired. In deep space, making electricity from sunlight is difficult since you areso far from the sun the light is week. RTG's are about the only viablealternative we have at present. The science is well worth doing.  Is there any reason to believe this eclipse will be "more obscure andtenebrous" than any other ellipse? Especially any since the death of Christ? Second, even worst case scenarios wouldn't qualify Cassini as the "King ofTerror." Actually, there is a rather narrow range of angles that might result inthe "incineration" of this cargo. But beyond that, plutonium powered RTG'shave been used in various spy and military satellites and reentered theatmosphere numerous times. The RTG's operate at very high temperatures under normal conditions, and also need to be fairly heavily shielded to avoid interfering with space craft electronics, and as a consequence, usually when they have reentered, they have done so largely intact, rather than vaporizing in the atmosphere. But even assuming they vaporize in the atmosphere, 72lbs of plutonium is pretty trivial compared to all of the radioactive material that has alreadybeen dumped into the atmosphere as the result of above ground nuclear testing,the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, andother sources. 3/4th's of the earth's surface is covered with water, and a large percentage of the land is not significantly populated. The odds, if something goes wrong and it does re-enter the atmosphere, and at the right angle to burnup, the odds of it happening over a populated area are small.If this accident occurred, it would be a very small increase in anexisting background. Where the atomic tests didn't yield any benefit to mankind except for more efficient ways of exterminating ourselves, Cassini will bring back valuable information about Saturn and it's moons. The moons of Saturn and Jupiter are the most likely place in this solar system for life to exist outside of earth, they are worthy of investigation even if that entails a very slight risk.

In response to the Cassini debate, I would like to add that my research will show that any object entering the earth's atmosphere must enter at a specific flight-path upon reentry to avoid being incinerated during its trip through the atmosphere In other words, the flight path would have to be exactly 6.2-degrees to the horizon.  The likelyhood of Cassini doing this would be like splitting a hair with a razor blade at 50 feet. This is difficult enough to achieve with space vehicles under intelligent control. The possibility exists that some fissionable material would remain, but the damage would be negligable. The question is how long can we continue to endanger our planet with this nuclear "Sword of Damocles?" -Christopher Montgomery (Director)UFORC
