Due to obvious testing/poisoning/weather manipulation or what have you with my own eyes, I was shocked to learn how widespred the situation is.\n\nPlease, won't you make youself informed and come back and edit your answer here?  I need opinions, I have yet to see mainstream media cover this.  It is for real.  Check Nasa and find out.  Thank you.

honestly global warming is a big f'n lie. If anyone knew anything about meterological weather history, they would know this "overall world warm up" happens all the time, along with the "overall world cool down" if you knew anything about science in that area, you probably wouldnt be a crazy liberal. PS, driving a enviornlementaly friendly car isnt going to do squat.

You commented :Could a huge conspiracy like that, which would involve thousands of people, really be kept secret!?\n\nThis should be the biggest evidence AGAINST a conspiracy theory, at least as it applies to a missile or something similar, blowing up the Pentagon instead of the commercial airliner.  The Pentagon is close to several busy traffic routes; these roads were packed with commuters at the time of the crash. There were thousands of people in the office buildings nearby. All of these people became eyewitnesses and if there were any conspiracy, they'd ALL have to have been in on it.  How could it be possible to get every single one of those people to play along?  I just don't get it.\n\nPS--- I was one of the thousands of eyewitnesses and I watched the plane actually hit the Pentagon and even though I've told people my story, they still cling to these conspiracy theories... go figure.

It would be so helpful if, when providing proof of something, there was actually a whit of truth to what you have to say.  Not only is most of what you've said untrue, it simply doesn't make sense.\n\nHowever, not being one to just say that and not back it up.\n\n1)  A planet sized comet wouldn't be generating a large magnetic field because comets are made of ice and (mostly carbonaceous) dust, two things which are most notably not magnetic.\n\n2)  No scientist worth his salt yet has indicated there's any evidence of massive "plasma scarring" on the surface of Mars, and if one did, it would be from plasma hitting the surface of Mars.  While the Sun and other stars are made out of the stuff, comets completely lack it and magnets don't create it, even if one magnetic field comes into alignment with another one, which brings us to...\n\n3)  Mars has no significant magnetic field.  It has a few magnetic patches on it where there is probably quite a bit of iron concentrated, but it's not magnetic in the least (as a whole planet, in the fashion of, say, the Earth).  It has no magnetic poles, either... and since you can't demagnetize an object with another magnetic field, it couldn't have ended up that way because another magnet "stripped off" it's magnetic field, and in any case you've said Mars absorbed all the energy... so it should be absolutely glowing on the magnetic front, and it isn't.\n\nSo, your theory is that an object which we know has no significant magnetic field (Mars) and an object which we know cannot have a magnetic field (a comet) got together and flipped magnetic poles which didn't exist when you said this event took place, in this massive magnetic tango that produced a product it could not have produced (plasma), that literally fired right through Mars like a gun and, even though it shot straight through the core from one non-existent magnetic pole through the other, didn't destroy the planet from the inside out, but left it completely in tact and just burned off the northern hemisphere, totally defying just about every one of the Laws of Physics God created the Universe to run on because, perfect being that He is, He was too incompetent to get it right the first time and needed to make a trial run which, as a compassionate and merciful God, He decided to burn to a crisp and roast alive every living thing on rather than allow to live on in peace once it had served His purposes, because He just didn't feel bothered to have them around any more.\n\nYou're right.  That's a freaking miracle.\n\n\nP.S.-- Craters naturally fill in from the center out because the edges of the crater are protected by the wall, leaving the center of the crater where dust can be most easily blown and settle, and there are dust storms on Mars.  Also, cooling cracks are very regular things, as the contracting matter pulls evenly away from the weakest point, most often causing the split to be very even and straight.  There's nothing about those features on Mars (or the shield volcanoes, for that matter) we haven't seen happen endless times on Earth-- and directly witnessed in other planetary bodies in the Solar System, which is why we know what made them.\n\nEdit:  All right, let's do this.  First, as for comets:\n\nhttp://www.windows.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/tour_def/comets/comets.html\n\nhttp://www.solarviews.com/eng/comet.htm\n\nhttp://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Comets&Display=Kids\n\nEveryone from the sixth grade on but you seemed to learn in science class what comets were made of, and most of us quite a bit sooner.  They're made out of ICE and DUST.  Because of the severely black color of them and our analysis of the gases in the comet's coma (you know, that big gas cloud you see around the comet that, oddly, is made out of ice and dust), we're pretty darned sure a lot of that dust contains CARBON, so they're made

Come on, how many 'natural' disasters were there this year?  You think they've all happened in the US and middle east by coincidence?  Its meteorologic warfare and its a top secret program lead by the CIA.  You may have missed the fact that the entire garrisoned 82nd airborne special operations division was deployed to keep martial law during Katrina as part of a coverup.  Its a global conspiracy but the government won't let you know about it.  They tested the weapons in our own waters first but it backfired, come on man, can't you see?  Its obvious, george bush, and cia, martial law, black helicopters global meteorologic catastrophe's.  And this is just the beginning.  What they really want is global control.  The government now has the ability to declare war on its own citizens, using these weather weapons.  Its all part of the plot to keep the citizens poor so the ruling class can stay in power.  The same conspiracy has been going on since the US was founded, but only now do we have the technology.  Think about it, never ending war in the middle east keeping us in a state of fear, natural disasters across the globe to keep us poor, illegal wire taps to keep us in check, and all of it to keep us dependant on the government and focused on our economic situation.  Its probably the end of days, and the masons, and illuminati, the anti-christ, its all here man!  The same people who got kennedy assasinated, secret weapons contracts, and where do you think the technology came from?  Its been hidden since roswell in the 50's and just now we figured out how to use it.  The aliens have been here, and all of it is part of the coverup.  I'm telling you man and don't think you're safe after reading this.  The CIA already has me bugged I know, they're monitoring my emails.  THey're all out to get me man.

Actually I didn't know it but I suspect there was a reason for this.  It is the very same reason that I didn't know that the moon landing was a fake or that Elvis was still alive,,,it didn't happen and isn't true.  \n\nThis is more of the same simple minded conspiracy drivel that has been disproven time and time again but still has some foot hold on the simple minded of the world.\n\nAlmost half of these conspiracy stories have been created by college students to track the publics level of acceptance of idiocy and/or as a prank but but you poor silly chumps keep them flying right and left and go on babbling about "falling into footprint", as if you have any idea of what you are writing.  \n\nGive it a rest or find something else if you wish to be entertaining.  This has run its course.  All the retarded listeners are on board with you and the rest of us know better.  \n\nBegone!

I'm not an engineer, but it would be worth a test. I'm not sure it would have the desired effect, though. Her first five compartments were compromised by either the gash or buckling of steel and popping rivets. Water entering there and allowed to flood evenly would still pull the bow down (although not as sharply) and water would reach the engine rooms and boilers, compromising the pumps even sooner.\n\nThey closed the water tight doors thinking it was the right thing to do. But the watertight compartments only went up to E deck at which point water flooded over their tops to the next compartment. Why didn't they enclose the watertight compartments? Why didn't they have enough lifeboats? Why was the steel so inferior?\n\nA new theory was just presented on Discovery Channel andbased on a recent discovery. They found two intact cross sections of the double-bottomed hull laying in the debris field. These sections traversed the ship from keel hull to keel hull. The theory is that the ship didn't crack as portrayed in the film, but a crack started at the top of the ship and then the ship bowed like a wide U, popping off the bottom hull sections, flooding the engine room, and creating the smashed uppper decks we see on the ocean floor (previously explained as smashed downward during impact with the ocean floor).

Several points.\n\n1. Did you notice that there was smoke on the asteroid? How can you have wispy smoke where there is no atmosphere?\n\n2. The one bozo goes "space happy" and starts firing a gigantic weapon on the asteroid. Excuse me? Why would you bring artillery with you on this mission. What did they expect to find -- Martians? If time is of the essense, why would you even bother to unpack it and set it up? Does any of this make ANY sense at all???\n\n3. The specific gravity on an asteroid would make conventional movement as depicted in this film impossible. There's no way they could drive around and do the things they do in such low gravity.\n\n4. the concept of a single nuclear warhead splitting in two an asteroid the size of texas is simply beyond the pale of accepted physics. If that were possible, the repeated underground nuclear tests conducted by the government in Nevada years ago would have split California off from the continent decades ago.\n\n5. During the trip to the moon, the people are experiencing g-forces that would compress any living thing to protoplasm. It is physically impossible to survive the calculated g-forces the film puts them through. And yet -- two things-- ONE: they continue to be able to speak (which means they have complete control of their breathing -- an impossibility), and TWO: people who are totally out of shape like these wildcatters somehow survive it -- an ABSOLUTE impossibility). \n\nThere are probably tons of other mistakes in this turkey, but this is all I can recall off the top of my head. I've tried to blot this film from my memory, and this is the best I can do. Hope it's enough.

well take into fact that ..we are energy..the universe is energy..there is energy all around us..that we cannot see..I dont believe it was lightning..I live in Manitoba and know how weather is..lightning in march is very highly unlikely..I cannot say exactly.but it does sound as if it was an enegy charge..not being there I would assume it was terrestrial in orgin..but may not have been...as I said there is energy everywhere.it could have been an outside force non terrestrial in origin...its strange..perhaps the energy orginated from the stratoussphere and that "space lightning" if you will, that is partially caused by our magnetic field  along with outside sources such as solar winds and other unknown energies from space...ah...what do  I know..would have been easier to say it was a UFO..lol

although global warming is real and its effects are already being measured in a variety of systems in the world, it is being a little too hasty to assume that the warm weather in Florida (and across a lot of the US, for that matter) is caused by it.  Weather is virtually an infinitly variable system, so predicting or proving causality for a single effect is very difficult.  I think that should have been the ultimate warning for those who scoff at the idea of human-influenced global warming- we simply can not determine the long (or even short-) term effects of human activities on the earth once those activities reach a critical mass of influence (which they have) Basically, we are screwed...

Just about all of your questions are addressed at the source below.\n\nTo me, you just seem to be trolling. If you read the article, it gives possible explanations under "Theoretical problems".\n\nYou're not some miracle thinker who's "thinking outside the box." Solar astronomers know what they're talking about. They don't just say, "Oh! Gee! We were totally owned by this Yahoo! kid!" Please. They're also okay not knowing things. That's why they study: to figure things out.\n\nBut I suppose you think the sun is really powered by an alien civilization's equivalent to a battery, and by controlling solar wind they were able to cause 9/11. Right?

It's all a waste of money, but it's a better and more inspiring waste of money than the real drains on the government's budget.  Actually, I'm already having second thoughts on that comment.  Read "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" by Richard Feynman.  Before the Challenger disaster, there were indicators everywhere that the shuttle shouldn't be launched.  Thanks in large part to the beauracracy of NASA, seven astronauts lost their lives.  It's a tough issue, but I still think NASA deserves more funding and attention.

I would try checking the meteorobs mailing list. And perhaps posting about your sighting to the list.\n\nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs/\n\nThere's also a fireball log here:\n\nhttp://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2006.html\n\nUpdate: Turns out you weren't alone. There's a bunch of sightings posted in the fireball log I posted above as well as an update that was posted to spaceweather.com\n\n"On Nov. 28th, in a split-second of total coincidence, a meteoroid the same size as the Lunar Leonid plunged to Earth over the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. What happened? Nothing. It disintegrated harmlessly in the atmosphere. A local security camera captured this movie of the beautiful fireball."\n\nAnd here's the movie they are referring to:\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/swpod2006/03dec06/huntsville.asf

The evidence point to a cruise missle. If you saw and did due diligence via the Internet and other sources wouldn't you at least see that factual evidence conclude the truth. It is overwhelming, you can't deny it. Sit and watch. Think outside the box, open your eyes.Please!

Trust me, the US space program was not a farce. You may have seen the old movie Capricorn 1 but that much could not have been faked. We can barely simulate weighlessness with airplane flight for a minute or two--there is no way we could simulate it lasting for days, weeks, and months. There is no way to fake the changes on the human body from prolonged weightlessness.

Ahhh, the government has already tried that trick on us before..naughty naughty naughty...thou shalt not tell a lie!!!  I'd have to see it with my own two peepers, and even then, after I checked "it" out, naw, possibly some mutants that the government let out the back door of someone's science experiment.  Sad but true. Oh my what we don't know what's going on under our noses.  :(
