The Electric Comet | Full Documentary
ThunderboltsProject
Published on Jun 18, 2013
URGENT: PLEASE READ THIS. The video
presented here is still in development. For the present listing of
credits (being developed simultaneously with extensive scientific
review), see our credits page:http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2013/...
We believe that this critical analysis of textbook comet theory can have a major impact on human understanding of these remarkable bodies. It can also reach well beyond the specialized science of comets to provoke a reconsideration of the Sun, planetary history, and a good deal more. We live in an Electric Universe, and the enigmatic behavior of comets provides unique insights into the role of charged particles and electrified plasma throughout the Cosmos.
We ask for your help in inviting scientists and other centers of influence to consider the factual content in this film. For the next 60-90 days we will consider all critical suggestions prior to final editing, and we'll be especially diligent in addressing any statements of fact that a knowledgeable viewer may call into question. Our conviction is that essential facts, now confirmed by leading investigators, will not allow the institutions of science to hold onto theories that, for too long, have been proclaimed as established science.

FIRE IN THE SKY: "Never Seen Anything Like That Before" - Massive Fireball Seen Over California!
Andre Heath
November 07, 2013 - UNITED STATES - Residents from around the Southland reported seeing a large light streak across the night sky Wednesday.
Authorities tell CBS2 and KCAL9 that the object appeared to be a meteor.
Many calls came into law enforcement agencies from Riverside, La Quinta and Rancho Mirage. CBS2 and KCAL9 also had reported sightings throughout Orange County.
One viewer, named Myriam R., was driving west on the 118 Freeway when she said she saw a large fireball around 7:50 p.m.
"I thought it was a plane," she said, "but it was too fast."
A witness named Fabian sent CBS2/KCAL9 video from a security camera in his front yard in Sylmar.
"At first I thought it might be fireworks," he said. "It was kind of greenish, and it was large. And then it broke apart."
He added, "I've never seen anything like that before."
Other sightings were reported in Arizona, Utah and Las Vegas.
Scientists predicted a meteor shower that occurs every year about this time. But they also say we haven't seen anything yet.
So-called Taurid meteor showers, which seem to come from the direction of the constellation Taurus, will reach their peak this year on Nov. 16 through the early morning of Nov. 17. Observers, aided by a full moon, will see 10 to 20 large fireballs every hour.
The website PlanetSave.com says the 10-to-20 figure is actually fewer than we normally get in this time period, but that it still promises to be "a pretty good show."
KCAL9′s Serene Branson spoke to Dr. Laura Danly, a curator at the Griffith Observatory.
The fireballs are easily explained, Danly said.
"They're rocks in outer space. They're chunks of asteroids, called meteroids," Danly said. "They're flying into the Earth's atmosphere and they're burning up. It's kind of like when astronauts return to the Earth's atmosphere and there is all that heat during re-entry. Same idea. These rocks are literally burning up. And that's what you're seeing."
Phone lines at the Orange County Emergency Operations Center lit up. Dozens of OC residents were calling 911 when they saw a green light streak across the sky.
The residents told dispatchers they saw a meteor.
CBS2′s Stacey Butler spoke to witnesses in the OC.
A Mission Viejo man was driving on the 73 Toll Road when he saw the light show.
"I saw this big, greenish flash like, light up the sky," Matthew Isaacs said. "It was headed pretty sideways from like, east to west. I thought, 'Is that a firework?' And then I realized, that couldn't be that big. It's just in the middle of nowhere in a totally dark area where there's no houses or anything where anyone would shoot fireworks. I thought, 'Man, it must have been a meteor.'"
An astronomy professor at UC Irvine said the green light people saw was oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere.
She said every day, there are about 800 meteors in the Earth's atmosphere. Most of them don't ever touch ground and many of them are 100 grams, like the size of a yogurt cup.
Sightings were reported as far away as Texas

The sun isn't the only thing exploding. Almost 450 million km from Earth, Comet C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) is having its own outburst.
COMET LINEAR X1:
The sun isn't the only thing exploding. Almost 450 million km from Earth, Comet C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) is having its own outburst. On Oct. 20th, amateur astronomers realized that the comet's brightness had increased 100-fold and its morphology resembled that of exploding Comet 17P/Holmes in 2007. Follow-up images in recent nights seem to show jet-like structures in Comet LINEAR X1's expanding atmosphere. Amateur astronomer Nick James of Chelmsford, UK, obtained these data on Oct. 26th:
Another set of images taken by James
shows the comet's atmosphere or "coma"
expanding over a period of two days. "The coma's
diameter is increasing at a rate of 30 arcseconds
per day," says James. "At a distance of
2.95 AU this corresponds to 65,000 km/day or a little
less than 1 km/s." He made these observations
using an 11-inch Celestron telescope.
Located in the constellation Coma
Berenices, Comet LINEAR X1 rises in the east about
an hour before the sun. The low altitude of the
comet in morning twilight is a challenge, but because
the comet is fairly bright, magnitude +8.5, it is
still a relatively easy target for backyard telescopes
equipped with digital cameras. Monitoring is encouraged!

Image of the Day: "Hidden Galaxy Cluster Discovered"
August 22, 2013
A team of astronomers has discovered the most distant cluster of red galaxies ever observed using FourStar, a new and powerful near-infrared camera on the 6.5m Magellan Baade Telescope. The galaxy cluster is located 10.5 billion light years away in the direction of the constellation Leo. It is made up of 30 galaxies packed closely together, forming the earliest known “galaxy city” in the universe.
Studying this system will help astronomers understand how galaxies are influenced by their environment, evolve, and assemble into larger structures.
Remarkably, the cluster was completely missed by previous surveys, which searched this region of the sky for thousands of hours and were conducted by all the major ground- and space-based observing facilities, including the Hubble Space Telescope. Despite these intense observations, accurate distances for such faint and distant galaxies were missing until the advent of FourStar.
