That will take a while to digest as most will reject it out of hand, the way they're currently still doing with things openly admitted to as non human origin. This thing is just another oddity, maybe some of the UAP from Earth have been making ferry runs, or will be making ferry runs back and forth for supplies that can't be found on Earth, or it's just a strange rock spinning around the galaxy. I was thinking about the Delayed Decision Double Slit Experiment aka "quantum eraser" and cannot think how it "works". It's literally a time machine that changes state after a photon is sent but before it is measured that changes depending on somebody observing it. That is mainstream science for over a decade and replicated by multiple schools, while being more "woo woo" than some of the strange stuff we see. Just an odd juxtaposition there. |

Wait, one big one, now a bunch more? Has this ever happened or are we just tuned into looking for them better? |

I wonder if we are thinking of it backwards. People usually assume it’s because it’s about a slow moving alien invasion that forces science underground. But what if it’s a clue that WE have a semi unpredictable extinction cycle, like the Tri-Solarans. |

It would depend on how you planned the mission potentially centuries or even millennia ago. Do we have a bunch of landing craft, or do we need to decelerate into orbit around a target? |

The Great Year is a deep rabbit-hole: The concept has also inspired modern speculative theories.

https://spaceweather.com/ INTERSTELLAR COMET ATLAS IS BRIGHTENING RAPIDLY: The forecasts are officially broken. Since September began, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has brightened 40-fold, far more than standard models would predict. "We can confirm the the significant increase in brightness," report Gerald Rhemann and Michael Jäger. "Our images taken in Namibia on Sept. 17th show the comet already at 12th magnitude." Here is their latest photo:  "The comet has a green atmosphere (coma) about 5 arcminutes in diameter, and a tail that continues to point toward the sun--the opposite of the usual direction," they say. Marshall Eubanks of Space Initiatives Inc. created this plot showing how 3I/ATLAS is over-performing compared to standard models:  The sudden increase in brightness might be a temporary outburst, or it could be a sign that the comet will become much brighter than initially estimated. Indeed, there is no true "standard model" for an interstellar comet. It might evolve in ways totally unlike comets from our own solar system. If this trend continues, Comet ATLAS could put on a good show as it passes Mars on Oct. 3rd at a distance of 29 million kilometers. Multiple Mars orbiters will turn to look at the comet including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NASA), the Trace Gas Orbiter (ESA) and Mars Express (ESA). Astronomers on Earth are encouraged to monitor the comet on this date, too, to support the Martian campaign. |

How could an "interstellar comet" reflect sunlight differently than one from this solar system? I mean, there's only so much that can be different before we need to use a different word than "comet" here. There are only so many ways a comet can reflect light for a "standard model" of water/ice/(+Nickel/Iron?) which should change brightness with inverse square law. This is now in the realm of "Chapter 1"... Stock up on Maple Syrup I guess, and about every other potential commodity to trade if they're peaceful. I know we have a few astrophotography guys here, how many have an 8"+ SCT or 10" Reflector to see Mag 15 with? I suppose the glass/mirror quality also has to be high for those floor sizes of light collection but I think @AZ_Sky and @FredMan (@FredM?) have enough oomph and is it Cypher in this forum? We should source our own images of TEOTWAKI. |

I’m holding off on ATLAS until I read something that tells me it’ll be worth the effort to try to capture. |

NASA will capture photos of it from the MARS observer orbiting mars. We will need to demand the release of these images, but they will likely remain classified, especially if its an alien ship. When it approaches mars they will take the photos. |

And then you add a crop at greater than 1:1. It’s well nigh impossible to develop any meaningful information about brightness from that image. |

https://spaceweather.com/ A CME IS HEADING FOR INTERSTELLAR COMET ATLAS: How often does a CME from our sun strike a comet from interstellar space? Almost never--so today’s collision is worth watching. According to a NASA forecast model, a CME launched on Sept. 19th will reach Comet 3I/ATLAS on Sept. 24th or 25th. CMEs hitting Solar System comets have been known to kink or even disconnect their tails. What happens to an interstellar comet is anyone’s guess. The timing is fortuitous. The potential impact comes only a week before the comet disappears into the sun’s glare, giving astronomers a narrow window to record the event. It also coincides with the comet’s recent brightening--a 40-fold increase since the beginning of September. Gerald Rhemann and Michael Jäger took this picture of the comet on Sept. 17th. "We can confirm Thomas Lehmann’s recent detection of the comet’s increase in brightness," says Jäger. Since September began, it has jumped in magnitude from +16 to +12. Most of the brightness increase is in one color: green. This suggests a surge of gas production as the comet nears the sun. The key compound is diatomic carbon (C2), which glows emerald when energized by solar UV radiation. This plot from Marshall Eubanks of Space Initiatives, Inc. shows what is probably happening:  His model breaks the comet's brightness into two pieces--a contribution from dust (red line) and a contribution from gas (blue dashed line). The surging gas component is making the comet bright just in time for its early-October encounter with Mars and a fleet of spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet. We will cover *that* later this week. Stay tuned! Thanks! To Marshall Eubanks for noticing and pointing out the CME-comet encounter. |

https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-aurora-updates/ Sun news September 24: Sun activity moderate with an M flare (11 UTC to 11 UTC) Today’s top story: Sun activity jumped up to a moderate level with the production of an isolated M1.0 flare from active region AR4217 in the southwest. The blast occurred at 10:34 UTC on September 23 just before our closing time of our edition yesterday but information was still not available for us to report. Along with the M flare, a type II radio emission was registered at 10:43 UTC along with an R1 (minor) radio blackout observed over Africa. Flare production also view an increase with 14 flares blasted out during the period. Stay tuned. Flare activity: Solar activity jumped to moderate levels with the production of an isolated M-class (moderate) flare over the past day. The sun blasted out 14 flares in total, one M plus 13 C-class flares. Strongest: M1.0 from AR4217 at 10:34 UTC on September 23. Shortly after the blast, an R1 (minor) radio blackout was registered affecting an area over Africa. Other notable flares: C6.7 (AR4224 at 2:29 UTC), C5.5 (AR4226 at 6:31 UTC), and C2.9 (AR4230 at 1:41 UTC). AR4226 was the most productive region during the period with seven C flares. Sunspot regions: The Earth-facing side of the sun shows nine numbered active regions. Three active region on the solar disk developed a gamma magnetic complexity. They are: AR4217 (southwest), AR4226 (southeast) and AR4229 (southwest), the three with a beta-gamma configuration. The rest of the regions remained small, stable, or slowly decayed. There are two newcomers on the solar disk. They are numbered now AR4229 in the southwest and AR4230 in the southeast. Blasts from the sun? No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) appeared in coronagraph imagery. Solar wind: The solar wind stayed at moderately high levels from 669 km/s down to 540 km/s at the end of this period. The IMF rose to moderate levels, and the Bz flipped between north and south but the strongest part was northward. At the end of the period it stays north oriented. A southward Bz is favorable for auroras. Earth’s magnetic field: Conditions ranged from quiet to active (Kp = 2–4). Kp = 4 threshold was reached at around 12 UTC on September 23 then dropped down. The Kp = 2 at the end of the period. What’s ahead? Sun–Earth forecast Flare activity forecast: Mostly C-class activity is expected, with a 35% chance of an M-class (R1–R2) flare, most likely from AR4224, AR4226 and AR4230. Geomagnetic activity forecast: September 24: Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected for the rest of the day today. September 25: Conditions should ease to quiet as coronal hole effects diminish. |

Thats really interesting on the digital side and sensor quality, which will only improve. So really these may not be rare objects at all. This opens up a whole new area of science then, interstellar visitors. What we have observed so far is incredibly interesting. |

There have been a lot of people talk about pole shifts, a few on crust displacement. But predictable bombardment not so much. And maybe thats the big secret. |

It was apparently built out of granite all over the ancient world. I'm curious how many more "shelters" there are around the world that are either undiscovered, or privately held and not spoken of. I'm willing to bet a lot of money that the number of private sites is non zero. The problem comes down to "where to build", most any place on Earth is in a danger zone of something - earthquakes, glaciers, floods, etc. There's the Northern rocky mountains in WA to MT where there are sea shells at 10,000 ft found along a foot/wagon trail. That is a whole lot of churning and rotating to pull the Earth down then back up over who knows how long (This also links to one of my favorite things - out of place/time artifacts or anachronistic artifacts). I suppose the Pyramids re a pretty solid bet, along with maybe parts of New Mexico/Arizona away from high earthquake zones and safe from Glaciers, but that has a known medium to medium-rlarge asteroid impact point with a sign for Barringer Crater and everything. There isn't enough water in the world to flood that high up for sea life to form at 10kft. Too many people jump to assume it's Global warming and water was that high. I suppose it is possible if something has taken half of Earth's water, leaving us with the leftovers we have today, but that's unlikely. This pings my brain again back to Elizondo's question on if you wanted something to be saved a million years, proof against any disaster that might show up, where would that be. I still don't have an answer to that still, as stray asteroids eliminate most of Earth's lower orbits and any location on Earth which also have their own ticking catastrophes waiting. I suppose if he's hinting toward saving data in "junk DNA" that would be the answer, but there's more to the "Junk DNA" than previously thought., Some say 80% of DNA codes are used, while others are saying only 8.2% of DNA is used and the rest is junk. I'd think that some super powerful evolution machine would have figured out how to make sure DNA into something like RAID 5 so Cancer and other genetic disorders are cut off before they can get started with anything. Back to this comet, it's a really cool time to be alive, hopefully we get more data on other side of sun and it doesn't burn up or impact Sol. |
The person who complains most, and is the most critical of others has the most to hide.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I fully agree, but there's a huge number of people screaming that they are proof of how bad "global warming" really is. Critical thinking isn't a strong suit, such as answering "where did that water go?" |

Avi Loeb is on the new Mayim Bialik pod. Click Aliens Incoming?! Harvard Scientist Dr. Avi Loeb reveals the astronomy behind why 3I/Atlas could cancel your Halloween plans… On October 29th, just two days before Halloween, a mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is set to make a highly unusual approach to our sun and it’s raising MAJOR red flags! Could this be a disguised alien mothership on a secret surveillance mission to Earth? The trajectory coincidences are so bizarre, they defy all known statistics. In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. Avi Loeb (Harvard professor, astrophysicist, and bestselling author of Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars) dives deep with Mayim & Jonathan into what 3I/ATLAS might really be…and how it ties into everything we thought we knew about life beyond Earth. Dr. Avi Loeb also breaks down: - Did the U.S. Government recover four types of alien biological entities from UAP crash sites? - Evidence that human life may have been engineered by another species - Was Mars home to life before Earth? - The chilling reason you should NEVER shake an alien’s hand - Why Loeb says extraterrestrial life is a national security issue - The new “Loeb Scale” to evaluate interstellar object encounters - Why the discovery of alien life could be the only thing that unites humanity - His urgent call for a global organization to defend Earth against threats like aliens, AI, and climate change - The plan to build a DNA ark using artificial intelligence — a “Noah’s Ark” for Earth’s survival! - How science and spirituality can coexist, and why believing in aliens shouldn't conflict with faith - Why the hidden black holes theory doesn’t prove the multiverse - How we can finally pressure governments to reveal the truth about extraterrestrials Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just curious about all things alien, this is the video you can’t afford to miss. Tune in to MBB now before October 29th possibly changes everything... |
