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
