For years I've read conspiracy sites like the Millenium Group and such just for the entertainment purposes. Reading about Orca, and spaceships being captured in pictures from the SOHO cameras, etc...the "Electic Comet" thing keeps grabbing my attention...it may be impossible, but I'm curious, nonetheless...

Here's a short quote from a site, relating to Comet Linear in 2000, but its the only thing a Google search returned. The Millenium Group's main site is down, and I know they have an alternate, but I cant find it...is any of this real science? Or is it just poppycock?

An electronic circuit to detect gravity waves? Do you still have that issue of Radio Electronics? Can you get a scan?

Radio Electronics became Electronics Now, and was combined with Popular Electronics in Jan. 2000 to become Poptronics, right? Poptronics online archive doesn't seem to include Radio Electronics.

I only read sites like Hoagland's and Bell's for entertainment. But every now-and-then something strikes me as a what if kind of situation...(what if they're even 10% right, that could be interesting)...so, my brother was telling me about Bad Astronomy and I'm really impressed and I love this kind of stuff, so I thought I'd finally found the place to ask my questions.

More info:

McCanney's own Plasma Discharge Comet Model site.

Here is an interesting thing: Joe Canepa posted a July 1994 paper wrote discussing a possible change in the predicted trajectory of Shoemaker-Levy, and in it he quotes a couple of paragraphs from one of McCanney's articles in the (defunct?) magazine Kronos. Canepa also provides the response of a reviewer who rejected Canepa's paper for publication in "Electronic Journal of the Astronomical Society of the Atlantic." The reviewer, Drew LePage, wrote that the reference to McCanney did not lend credence to the paper: "[McCanney's work] just sounds like a lot of mumbo jumbo with no basis in any physics that I am aware of." Reference

Now this may just be character assassination for all I know, but if you're really trying to research the fellow and his ideas it's worth scanning Canepa's paper and the comments by LePage. I couldn't find any references to publications by McCanney except those in Kronos, which seems not to publish articles online.

Cheers!

[later] Kronos publishing house continues to publish books on catastrophism, and they provide a listing of articles and contributors to the Kronos journal. McCanney's work appeared in 1984-1985, along with some of Velikovsky's stuff on Sumerians. Uh-oh.

So how does the Deep Space 1 flyby affect this?

The Millenniumites seem to be claiming victory from the DS1 flyby if only because the scientists were somewhat surprised at the findings.

Oh, and you can also now go to http://www.yowusa.com/ and vote on whether or not Planet Niburu is going to flyby and destroy the Earth in 2003. (Believe it or not, the "ayes" are currently winning.)

I'd sure like to meet some of those "aye" voters. I'd ask them to sign over their life savings to me. After all, they won't be needing them after next year...

Lol! just what i (& i'm sure many others) was thinking [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Are you a Bright?

Yeah, but that's also out of 31 voters (one of which is myself). And it is the sort of poll you'd answer "yes" to just for a laugh (I know I've done things like that a few times).
