DID NASA FAKE COMET FLYBY?

There is sufficient evidence to suggest that NASA has deliberately tampered with satellite

imagery depicting a comet changing its flight path after interacting with the sun on February 18.

Comet NEAT (C/2002 V1) was first observed by astronomers in November 2002 and was

initially described as a 'small' comet that would come closest to the Earth on December 24,

2002, when it would be at 0.8 AU (note: 1 AU equals 93 million miles the distance between theEarth and the sun). Astronomers suggested that NEAT would brighten considerably as it

approached its perihelion ( approach to the sun) of 0.1 AU (go to

http://cometography.com/lcomets/2002v1.html) . By the time of its eventual arrival in the sun's

vicinity, the precise size of the comet had become a matter of controversy as evident in a

February 19, BBC report that described the comet as "unusual in that it is very large and very

bright. In fact, it is the brightest comet ever observed by one of Soho's instruments."

(Http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/science/nature/2779633.stm)

According to NASA flight projections, the comet

would flyby the sun and continue its orbit without

having an appreciable impact on either the sun or the

Earth. Real time photographs of the comet by the

SOHO satellite positioned between the Sun and Earth

showed the comet's passage around the sun (for

NASA's projected passage, see image on left). As

predicted, the comet appeared very large, with some

estimates of its coma (gases, ice, etc., surrounding thecore) up to four times the size of Jupiter while having

a planet sized core up to the size of Mercury.

On its passage

past the sun on Feb 18, an enormous solar flame moves

towards the comet as though to strike it in the fashion of a

lightning bolt (image time-dated 2002/2/18 06:54). Just

before what appears to be a critical impact, the images fromSOHO's LASCO 3 corona graph, stop for a critical seven

hours, when they resume, the next image (time dated one

hour later), shows that the solar flame has disappeared, and

what appears to be the remains of a crude cut and paste

effort involving the comet (for more on evidence tampering

Subsequent images released by NASA showed

the comet continuing its flight path without any

significant interaction with the sun (image time-

dated 2003/2/18 09:54) (to see NASA's

animated sequence go to

http://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/swpod2003/21feb03/soho1.gif). At this point, amateur

astronomers on Web discussion boards began crying foul and were accusing NASA of imagetampering. It should be pointed out that the processing of SOHO images occurs at the NASA

Goddard Flight Center making it plausible that image tampering could occur using popular

software packages such as Paint Brush. The period from when the comet reportedly exited the

range SOHO's LASCO corona graphs, showed the sun resuming intense solar flare activity in

the region where the comet had earlier been. The entire sequence of NEAT's passage appeared

as in the following set of images released by NASA.

Discussion about comet NEAT would most likely have soon ended were it not for the following

image (time-dated 2003/02/20 23:42) released by

SOHO on Feb 20, more than two days after the

first 'tampered' image and when NEAT should

have left the view of SOHO's LASCO corona

graphs. The image showed what appeared to be

the comet NEAT in an unanticipated position

suggesting that it had changed direction and

continued to be interacting with the sun. The next

image (time-dated 2003/02/20 23:42) was

delayed by 12 hours, but time dated 36 minutes

later, showed no sign of the comet. Some

astronomers suggested that the image depicting

NEAT was still in the vicinity was an anomalycaused by such explainable factors as the SOHO

satellite recording part of its own equipment

discharge. For amateur astronomers, this was the

smoking gun they had been looking for. Website

discussion boards suddenly began to be systematically hacked making it difficult for news to

get out and raising suspicion of NASA faking the fly by (go to

Surprisingly, a second set of images appeared almost

two days later on Feb 22, that showed comet NEAT was still in the sun's vicinity and

continuing to interact with it. The images came from SOHO's LASCO 2 corona graph which

focuses on the vicinity much closer to the sun. These images showed an object, perhaps NEAT's

core or segments of it, being ejected out of the sun (image time-dated 2003/02/22 19:31 - for

Amateur astronomers participating in a number of web page discussion boards again began to

experience a high degree of hacking with boards going offline. This only added to growingaccusations of foul play and suspicions about a NASA conspiracy to suppress the true nature of

comet NEAT's precise location and interaction with the sun. Only to compound matters further,

the critical LASCO instruments for recording the activities around the sun's corona, were closed

down for the 4-day period from 24-27 February for repositioning the SOHO satellite. The cause

was either routine 'Spacecraft Thruster Firing' as NASA claimed, or NASA was trying to

prevent further leaks on NEAT's actual position.

The strongest evidence of image tampering are the images provided by the SOHO satellite

which show what appears to be either the comet itself or its remnants in a variety of positions

around the sun after NEAT should have left the sun's vicinity. Some have suggested that thereleased images were deliberately leaked by sympathetic NASA officials who wanted the

general public to learn about the true nature of the comet's interaction with the sun.

Another significant piece of information is a set

of images that showed what looked like an eye to

the right of the comet just before the comet was

apparently struck by a solar flare (image time-

dated 2003/02/18 08:54). For those familiar with

the Great Seal of the US (see reverse of one

dollar bill), this was strikingly familiar with the

Eye of Horus signifying Providence is watching

over human affairs. There are three explanations

for this mysterious eye. One the eye is just a

fortuitous natural event captured on camera. Two,

the eye was contrived by sympathetic NASA

officials wanting to communicate that they are

helping get information out. Or three, some

'external' intervention from a 'non-human' agency

or intelligence has indeed occurred. Given that a significant number of individuals, groups, and

organizations have been waiting for a cosmic event to signify 'divine intervention' in human

affairs, then arguably, Comet Neat and the eye signifies that this has indeed occurred. If either

of the latter two explanations is accurate, NASA may be expected to continue encounteringdifficulty in keeping news of comet NEAT's interaction with the sun from becoming public

knowledge.

Did NASA Fake Comet NEAT's Flyby of the Sun?

In summary, the primary evidence that NASA has faked the flyby of comet Neat lies in analysis

of three sets images released by the SOHO satellite. The first is the February 18 image ( time-

dated 2003/2/18 06:54) which shows evidence of tampering. The second is the February 20

image (time-dated 2003/02/20 23:42) which is the smoking gun that NEAT did not leave the

sun's vicinity in the path predicted by NASA. The third are the February 22 images that show

an object, possibly NEAT, being expelled from the sun (time-dated 2003/02/22 19:31).

Circumstantial evidence is the following. Firstly, delays in release of images that depicted

NEAT at critical stages in its passage. And second, hacking of amateur astronomer discussion

boards that were attempting to analyze the data as it was emerging. When the evidence is

analyzed, one is forced to choose between one of two choices. Either NASA is correct and

nothing extraordinary has occurred other than the routine passage of a small but bright comet

that will return again in 37,000 years. In this case, all the anomalous images and delays have

plausible explanations. Alternatively, deliberate tampering of satellite imagery by NASA hasoccurred in order to suppress from public attention the true passage of Comet NEAT and its

significance for humanity.

What strengthens the case for the latter explanation, is that some extraordinary weather patterns

began to appear on February 24 that would be consistent with the intense solar activities

beginning from February 18. For instance, it takes approximately about five days for coronal

mass ejections from the sun to reach the earth. Aside from the snow and icy conditions that

surprisingly appeared in the USA on February 24, a foot of snow has fallen in Jerusalem and

elsewhere in the Middle East on February 25. Children and police in the GAZA strip, and

elsewhere in Israel/Palestine were having snowball fights! Such bizarre weather might be

simply welcomed as a respite from the turmoil of the Middle East or may signify something

extraordinary has occurred.

What is even more troubling for NASA's account of the NEAT comet, is that on February 28,

NASA released a space weather report that said the "Earth is approaching a cometary debris

stream that might trigger an unusual Antartic meteor show this weekend"
