Default nancy predicts NO comets in April / May

From GLP Thread: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/bb...owdate=3/22/04
Quote:
So why why why are we not encouraging folks to go LOOK for the comets? Because they will not be showing up, spashy, as expected, as per the subject of the thread here, they came EARLY! Please note that this is the ONLY Planet X thread that I, Nancy, have been responding to for the past few weeks that did NOT get bumped this morning by the debunkers.

Planet X : Polaris Wobble
Planet X: Meaning of Sedna
Planet X: 23 is the Key
Planet X: Unshakable Grip
Planet X: Booth Blunder

They are to let it die! Why? They do’t want you looking!

GO LOOK FOR THE COMETS COME LATE APRIL AND MAY, AS THEY WILL NOT BE THERE!
Isn't she the one who said that Hale-Bopp didn't exist either. This time she states that they came early and will not show in April / May

Ahh man, I missed them? I'm sure if they did come early, then they're no longer approaching the sun, and thus no longer where the evil astronomers are saying they are. I'm also sure that someone must have seen them. Why didn't they tell me? Didn't they get my memo?

Well, noting Nancy's "track record", I would expect that during April/May the sky will be filled with Comets.

I'd like to see her explanation when both C/2001 Q4 (Neat) and C/2002 T7 are imaged by thousands of amateur astronomers and seen by many through binos and naked eye observations.

She'll probably come out with the same bs that she did to explain Hale Bopp.

EVERYONE KNOWS that comets are controlled by the government. When they show up, she'll say that the PTB brought them in to discredit her! :^o

Maybe she'll post soon, "Nancy Leider" just registered as registrant #3767.

(Of course, it's possible it's not here either . . . )

There was some post by "Nancy Lieder" this weekend. I think the BA 8) deleted them and banned that specific login because of the content and the obviousness of it not being Nancy.

But...they've already been imaged! And I was observing T7 right up until it fell into twilight.

What Nancy is trying to claim is that they won't become naked eye objects - apparently she thinks they already were. I remember her claiming that Venus was actually Q4 not to long ago. So, she can now refer to her web pages and claim that it was so.

Judging by current observations, (and I hate to say it) she's probably correct. Q4 may just make it by the skin of it's teeth, and T7 will be a Southern hemisphere object at it's predicted maximum. But, anyone who's been watching the observed magnitudes of both realizes already that they aren't going to the great comets that was thought 12 months ago.

We can always hope for a change, but it doesn't look like they'll be as bright as expected 10 months ago. T7 was holding around 7th magnitude when I was observing it last - for almost all of January and February, Reports from the South don't favor Q4 much either. Both may just get to magnitude 2 or 3.

As I said, we can always hope they have an unexpected outburst, but I'm not expecting it at this point. Either way, I'll be looking at Q4 when it finally starts breaking through the twilight in May.

Thanks Jim, I wasn't around last weekend and I just found the other thread mentioning the fake Nancy. Oh well.

They're not real comets. They're....ummmm...space debris! Yeah, that's it! Space debris cunningly planted by NASA to appear to be comets to mislead the public and discredit Nancy. Actually, I'm looking forward to their arrival. This will be my first opportunity to (hopefully) get a peek at a comet through our new telescope. They're going to have a tough time surpassing getting to see the Martian polar cap last year, though! =D>

I'm also wondering how she is going to explain that tonight Venus and the Moon lined up so nicely if the earth's orbit has been bobbling, reversing, etc.

Matches up quite nicely with what Cartes du Ciel is showing (the planetary DB on my copy of C du C is pushing four or more years old).

Does this mean the comets are dead, Jim? :roll:

Probably not, since the last de Havilland Comet variant flew in the 1990s. But who knows, there might be one doing local commuter and mail service in Wisconsin somewhere. 8)

Yeah, I forgot about that. The transport version, right?

Perhaps Nancy thinks that any comets are really goverment controled holographs (though which goverment? The Reptillian one?)

Since the 5 planets are visible now, doesn't that also shoot her "bobbling" theory out the window also? :-?

You'd like to think that huh?

She will most likely ignore all of it, or say that the planets are stars out of position or that they are the "dark twins". #-o

Wow! For which country? It's amazing to think that 52 years later the original jetliner is, essentially, still flying. =D>

Heck, look at the age of some of the KC-135's and EC-135's the USAF is still flying.

Supposedly, the Nimrod is going to go through another retrofit - company I work for is bidding on that contract.

Plus, according to my photos(taken with an object feared by woo woo's everywhere, a telescope) Jupiters moons transited Jupiter last night as predicted. And I bet they will do the same thing Saturday night as well.
