I suppose you're right 011, unless someone thought of something the other's didn't. It just occurred to me that during that same 1954 eclipse Jupiter was completely occulted and in alignment with earth, Moon and Sun. Haven't they learned that Jupiter plays an important role in the area of gravitation happenings on earth? I wonder if this has to play into the equation.

Crux, what if the gravity were being increased rather than decreased? With Jupiter anywhere around things tend to expand. I noticed with each of the eclipses observed on this page: http://home.t01.itscom.net/allais/bl...decrypting.htm
either Jupiter was close by or his ascending node was within conjunction or at major angle to the ecliptic. Also, with each eclipse listed to have observed the Allias effect usually the node of the Moon was within 4 degrees, except in 61 when the ascending node of Jupiter was near 0 degrees Cancer, thus 90 degrees from the ecliptic.. I feel really out of my league here with you guys, so thanks for your patience.
