POPSTunguska: 100 years of wondering 30th Jun was the hundredth anniversary of the Tunguska explosion. They think the answer might lie at the bottom of Lake Chelo. The rule of thumb is that a 100 metre asteroid equals a 100 mTon hydrogen bomb.

POPSThe Israeli "Dry Run"On Iran's Nuclear Facilities
Looks like there would be a side benefit from an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities: the blind, toothless UN atomic "watchdog" -- Mohamed El Baradei -- promised to resign if Iran is targeted. US officials reported on Friday that more than 100 Israeli F-16s and F-15s staged a complex operation over the Mediterranean during the first week of June. The aircraft traversed more than 900 miles, about the distance from Israel to Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility; the exercise also tested the refueling of planes and helicopters tasked with rescuing downed pilots. El Baradei wasn't pleased. He warned that any attack on Iran would turn the entire Middle East "into a fireball." Russia's response: as Iran's preeminent nuclear technology supplier, Russia is concerned with its cash flow. It also warned Israel not to attack. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov instructed Israel not to use force, claiming there is no proof Iran is trying to acquire atomic weapons.

POPS'Unavoidable' attack on Iran looms, says Israeli Minister. "I could not help myself. It is my nature." "Unavoidable" said the Zionists. Then the frog and the scorpion both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river. Self destruction - "It's my Nature", said the Scorpion/Zionists, And just like in 1967 and at Pearl Harbour, the scorpion will strike first. "It's in my Nature" Then the 1967 oil crisis will have been a fireball compared to the glimmer we will have after the Zionist go nuclear. Like their glory in Samson, they'd finish us all off gladly to fulfil crazy predictions.

POPSFireball captured QUOTE: "...May 9th, as the sun was rising over Gdansk, Poland, an exploding fireball split the sky. Eye-witness Krzysztof Polakowski of the Polish Fireball Network describes it as a "magnitude -8 meteor" or 40 times brighter than Venus. Believe it or not, this shadow-casting fireball was ... nothing special. According to calculations done by Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, magnitude -8 fireballs appear somewhere on Earth around three times a day. That's almost one hundred a month! Lesser fireballs occur even more often...They are caused mainly by random bits and pieces of asteroid and comet debris crashing into our atmosphere as Earth orbits the Sun...."

POPSOur busy galaxy
Even our Milky Way galaxy is spinning like a giant Ferris wheel at nearly 140 miles per second. It's also careening at 50 miles per second toward the Great Andromeda galaxy, one of about 30 such structures that create a galactic family astronomers know as the “Local Group,” which, by the way, is falling toward the Virgo supercluster at another 150 miles per second. And if that's not enough, beyond are even more galaxy superclusters as far as the largest telescopes can see. All are rushing away from each other as if hurled from a huge cosmic explosion some 15 billion or 20 billion years ago. Between the clusters glows the faint, ghostly echo of this primordial fireball, through which we speed at more than a million miles per hour. And what about the universe itself? Is it turning about an even larger universe? Is it speeding along in some unknown direction at an even more incredible speed? No one knows for sure, but it's certainly fun to ponder while we wait in yet another motion

POPSChina accuses US of double standards over satellite strike Key point: "Video footage released by the Pentagon showed a fireball when the missile struck the satellite, indicating that the fuel tank - containing hydrazine - had exploded." Would hydrazine really explode in space as cold as it would be out there - seems it would be a neutral reaction? Oh so many theories this all has spawned and will spawn. http://astroprofspage.com/archives/1516

POPSUS says satellite fuel tank likely hit Likely ? It was also said to be the first time a deorbiting satellite has been hit by a surface to air missile. Therefore it was weapons testing. Now they have to register the fallout

POPSHypothetical Attack On U.S. Outlined By China The Chinese first-strike strategy is “more than hypothetical,” according to the report. But in the near term, at least, it’s considered unlikely. ----- The likely trigger would be Taiwanese elections, where assertions of complete independence from the mainland can infuriate Chinese leaders. In 2012, however, when Taiwan holds an election and mainland China’s leadership is expected to turn over, perhaps for the worse, the risk of conflict could increase.

POPSHuman Footprint This is about your life and what it all adds up to. One lifetime. How many apples will you eat? How many words will you speak? How many pints of milk will you consume? If you are an average Brit, (and I assume this goes for pretty much any western society) by the time you reach the age of two years old, you will have generated more CO2, than a Tanzanian does in his entire life time. Wow, eh? If you saved all the farts you ever made and burnt them off all at once, how big a fireball would that make? *LOL* There are some really cool, weird, disgusting and hilarious "averages" and facts in this movie. Pretty thought-provoking. Worth a gander, I reckon.

POPSNASA Agrees To Open 1965 "UFO" File Records were lost. Yes, of course they were. No cover-up. Nope, there never is. Is it just me, or does there seem to be an increase in UFO buzz and news and sightings lately? Hmm... :roll: UFO Over Shoreham?
