Christmas Comet Came With Green Glow!

December 15, 2018 Albuquerque, New Mexico - We've got a Christmas 2018 green, bright comet on its way toward Earth at 21,251 miles per hour. Astronomers call it: Comet 46P/Wirtanen. The 46P means this is the 46th periodic comet discovered with an orbital period around our sun of less than 200 years. Now scientists know that 46P/Wirtanen is a small, short-period comet that goes around our sun every 5.4 years.

Meteor Lighted Up New England Plus Reports of “Deep Rolling” Boom Sound and Shaking

“Caught it out bedroom window as I was getting into bed. Crazy bright pulsing light through transom window right over headboard.”

- Ryan B, Portland, Maine

New “Polio-like Disease”: Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) — More Than 400 American Cases Since 2014.

“In our surveillance here in Colorado and I know in other states, there has been a similar pattern of circulation of Enterovirus 68 that mirrors the incidence of acute flaccid myelitis in the United States.”

– Samuel Dominguez, M. D. and Ph.D., Assoc. Prof., Pediatrics-Infectious Diseases and Medical Director for Microbiology Laboratory, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Aurora, Colorado

So far in 2018, the CDC has confirmed 116 cases of polio-like disease in 31 states. Since 2014, when the new paralyzing disease was first noticed, the CDC has confirmed more than 400 cases known medically as Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM). Many of the young children that have been infected by the virus — average age 4 — are still coping with paralysis. CNN family photo.

Today Nov. 26th – NASA Joy and Cheers As InSIGHT Lands On Mars! See updated report.

InSIGHT landed safely on Mars today, November 26, 2018, near 2:54 PM Eastern! It's the first lander to be able to dig at least 16 feet down into the Martian red soil and will have a seismometer to measure quake activity on the mysterious red planet! NASA image illustration of how InSIGHT looks like now on the flat plain of Elysium Planitia! — InSIGHT landed safely on Mars today, November 26, 2018, near 2:54 PM Eastern! It's the first lander to be able to dig at least 16 feet down into the Martian red soil and will have a seismometer to measure quake activity on the mysterious red planet! NASA image illustration of how InSIGHT looks like now on the flat plain of Elysium Planitia.

Update -

“There’s a reason engineers call landing on Mars ‘seven minutes of terror.' We can’t joystick the landing, so we have to rely on the commands we pre-program into the spacecraft."

— Rob Grover, Lead for InSIGHT’s entry, descent and landing (EDL), NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA

“Previous missions haven't gone more than skin-deep at Mars. InSIGHT scientists can’t wait to explore the deeper heart of Mars.”

— Sue Smrekar, InSIGHT Mission Deputy Principal Investigator, Jet Propulsion Lab, Pasadena, CA

Oumuamua’s Peculiar Acceleration – Harvard Scientists Discuss Possible Extraterrestrial Lightsail Power

“Oumuamua showed deviations from a Keplerian orbit at a high statistical significance. We discuss the possible origins of Oumuamua, including the possibility that it might be a lightsail of artificial origin ... for interstellar travel.”

- Schmuel Bialy, Ph.D. and Abraham Loeb, Ph.D., Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Mass. Prof. Loeb is Chairman of Harvard's Astronomy Dept., November 1, 2018

“This is the most extreme orbit I have ever seen.”

Mars: Why It’s A Strange Cloud and Not Volcano Smoke.

ESA Press Release September 13, 2018: "Since 13 September, ESA’s Mars Express has been observing the evolution of an elongated cloud formation hovering in the vicinity of the 20 km-high Arsia Mons volcano, close to the planet’s equator. In spite of its location, this atmospheric feature is not linked to volcanic activity but is rather a water ice cloud driven by the influence of the volcano’s leeward slope on the air flow – something that scientists call an orographic or lee cloud – and a regular phenomenon in this region."

Eerie Bizarre Sound Recorded in Montreal October 30-31, 2018 – Listen to Looped Mp3 Here

October 31, 2018 - Montreal, Canada - I received an email today with a link to a cell phone recording of a bizarre high-pitched sound heard by residents last night and discussed on reddit.com. There have been high-pitched, unexplained sounds recorded in several parts of the world from Ukraine to Europe to U. S. to Mexico and beyond since 2011. I have dozens of other reports in the Earthfiles Archive.

New IPCC Climate Report Warns Only Ten Years Left to Slow Down Global Warming Or Face Fire, Water and Storm Hells On Earth.

“The loss of sea ice in the Arctic … it went like two or three times faster than the climate models projected. …And ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica will continue to accelerate … and could add to increasing sea level rise, maybe up to three feet higher.”

– Drew Shindell, Ph.D., Coordinating Lead Author, IPCC Report, Duke University, Durham, NC
