A Few Words About Radiometric Dating The most widely-used method for determining the age of fossils is to date them by the “known age” of the rock strata in which they are found. At the same time, the most widely-used method for determining the age of the rock strata is to date them by […]
August 3, 1996 This session started off with a simple question about the Hale-Bopp comet, but led to some startling information… Q: (L) This is kind of an off-the-wall question that just popped into my head. Did we ever ask anything about Hale-Bopp? A: Yes. Q: (L) Is Hale-Bopp going to turn planet Earth into […]
11-19-94 Cassiopaeans: Beware of disinformation. It diverts your attention away from reality thus leaving you open to capture and conquest and even possible destruction. Disinformation comes from seemingly reliable sources. It is extremely important for you to not gather false knowledge as it is more damaging than no knowledge at all. Remember knowledge protects, ignorance […]
Immanuel Velikovsky demonstrated rather convincingly that there was massive evidence of both a literary and scientific nature that great catastrophic earth changes had occurred during the second millennium BC due to cometary showers and the close passage of Venus. He settled on a date of 1450 BC, but more recent scientific evidence points to the […]
Last May I wrote some commentary on the Planet X hoax asking “Will the World End on Thursday?” At the end of that article I commented: That Planet Nibiru/ Zetatalk nonsense sure gets around! The reader may recall a rather lengthy series of articles posted on this site some time back entitled: Has Nibiru/Planet X […]
As I perused the news sources for the Weird Desk here at Signs of the Times this morning, I came across a real zinger in a mainstream news source: The end is nigh: so is 10th planet The article tells us about a strange “doomsday cult” – the “Pana Wave Laboratory” – that is being […]
Last year on the 4th of July we drove down to the local mall to watch the fireworks display. We bought boxed dinners from Colonel Sanders, and listened to Vivaldi as the evening sky was transformed into a Cosmic Fairyland of Magic and Mystery. Little did we know, it would be the last Fourth of […]
Before I start getting serious, I want to confess that I am a Pink Floyd fan. I am somewhat amused at the name of the present hurricane that is threatening the coast of my home state, and I would like to share one of the segments from our often humorous sessions. We had been listening […]
[Laura’s note: there is strong evidence that this planetary disruption was due to a cyclical cometary shower that returns at 3600 year intervals, and that the actual date of the event was between 1644 and 1628 BC. See notes at bottom of this article.] The following news item caught my eye recently: Robert Matthews Science […]
Last Hallowe’en I was left here at Signs Central to hold down the fort and produce the Hallowe’en Signs page by myself. That page has become a classic and I received a pile of emails from readers about it. What can I say? It was one of those golden moments in journalism where all the […]
© Inconnu Moonrise over a glacier A few months ago a member of the SOTT Forum posted a link to the following article about investigations into climate change. I wasn’t too sure what the contradictory term “Tropical Ice Cores” meant, but the article seemed to explain all that: Tropical Ice Cores Shows Two Abrupt […]
Today we have an update from our astronomer friend on Comet Elenin. Before I get to that, let me just reassure folks that there is NOT going to be a pole shift in the next week or so as certain raving nutzoids have been spamming all over the net. Also, Comet Elenin is NOT going […]
Rather than post a comment in response to a comment on a previous Comet Elenin post, I thought I would just address it here. The comment was “How do you feel now that the earths axis has indeed shifted 25cms? You were adamant about it not happening…but it did.” Amazing how some people are able […]
What is the truth about Climate Change? Some time ago I wrote about Climate Change as being probably the most pressing problem facing humanity today. It is so pressing that I am convinced that possibly 90% of the human race – over 6 billion people – could be at risk of certain death in the […]
Often, some of the most important news comes from local papers, stories that don’t make it up the feeding chain and onto the news wires or major newspapers or nightly network news. It can be news that at first glance wouldn’t appear to have a national or international impact. Second glance, and a good memory, […]
The eagle screams, And with pale beak tears corpses. . . . Mountains dash together, Heroes go the way to Hel, And heaven is rent in twain. . . . All men abandon their homesteads When the warder of Midgard In wrath slays the serpent. The sun grows dark, The earth sinks into the sea, […]
“Time passes, but they’re always five to seven years from the bomb.” — Shlomo Brom, Israel’s deputy national security adviser under former Prime Minister Ehud Barak Angel by William Blake As Israeli politicians continue to beat the war-drums over what they (now alone) claim to be an imminent threat from a nuclear-capable Iran, very similar […]
When asked what I would like to write about for this issue of the Dot Connector, the first thing that came out of my mouth was “The Golden Age and how we got from there to where we are now and what it all means.” That is the topic that has been exercising my thinking […]
New Light on the Black Death: The Cosmic Connection by dendrochronologist Mike Baillie of Queen’s University, Belfast, Ireland. Book Review by Laura Knight-Jadczyk I just finished reading this one and all I can say is: Wow! This was an intense book! Not a long one, either – just 208 pages including appendices. It’s tight and […]
Having recently written a review of New Light on the Black Death: The Cosmic Connection by dendrochronologist Mike Baillie of Queen’s University, Belfast, Ireland, I decided to go deeper into the subject. Over the past few weeks a whole case of books I ordered have been arriving and getting piled on my desk after a […]
©Unknown It was a warm, clear afternoon in the capital. The bustle of metropolitan commerce and tourism filled the streets. Small sailing vessels dotted the sheltered waters within sight of the government buildings, riding on a soft southerly breeze. The Sun sparkled on the gentle swells and wakes, lending a luminous glow to the […]
©Unknown Comet of 1532 This morning I was thumbing through a newly arrived book: Comet/Asteroid Impacts and Human Society, published by the eminent scientific publishing house, Springer, edited by Peter T. Bobrowsky and Hans Rickman. This book is a collection of scientific papers presented at a workshop under the aegis of the International Council for […]

Last night we watched Super Comet – After the Impact, a Discovery Channel special that basically takes the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs and put into modern times. They added some cheesy drama, following the struggles of several […]
©Peter Grego Impression of the 1178 lunar event Last time I said I was going to talk about how much your “glorious leaders” really hate and despise you and how they are plotting your deaths while most of you are so screwed up that you not only do not see this, you actually dance blithely […]
Today I’m going to write a letter; a letter to all our readers. I’m also going to include a transcript of a very interesting letter SOTT.net has received from Prof. Victor Clube. I hope that these letters will change your life, your future, and mine as well. Here at SOTT.net, we have been pretty busy […]
Astronomy books and papers far too numerous to cite offer the assurance that “no one has ever been killed by a meteorite.” (John S. Lewis, University of Arizona) ©Julian Baum Over the past few years, while sott.net has been tracking the increasing flux of fireballs and meteorites entering the earth’s atmosphere, we have been, by […]
©Julian Baum Today we are going to look at the Summary of Conclusions about Fireballs and Meteorites that Victor Clube attached to his cover letter to the Chief, Physics and BMD Coordinator of the European Office of Aerospace Research and Development back in 1996, 5 years before September 11, 2001; that, and a few […]
When you think of Halloween, what is the first image that comes to mind? I took a little informal poll among my friends, family and associates. Guess what image came in first? Jack-o-lanterns! Bet you thought I was going to say “witches”. Well, I sure thought it would be witches, but they only came in […]
At our house, some of the best discussions take place at the breakfast table. You see, we eat our biggest meal of the day in the morning which is according to the dietary protocols we have researched, experimented, and consider to be optimal for human health. We eat a selection of meats – bacon, home-made […]
We had a chat with the Cassiopaeans the other night and got in a few questions about Comet Elenin, to wit: Q: (Andromeda) Is the outburst of asteroid 596 Scheila related at all to Comet Elenin? A: Yes. And other bodies. See McCanney. Q: (Andromeda) So what caused that asteroid to become a comet? A: […]

With all the rumblings about ‘Disclosure’ going on all around, I can’t help but wonder why those who are interested in this topic seem to be missing the biggest cover-up of all: cometary/asteroid disruptors/destroyers of history. Destroying history means, of course, destroying large segments of the human population who pass history on to their offspring. […]
The issue of methane and outgassing has occupied me to quite some extent for the past few years particularly after writing New Light on the Black Death: The Cosmic Connection. I even asked the SOTT.net editors to keep their eyes open for news items about anything that might be related to outgassings. There’s quite a collection in the […]

My last contribution to the Blogosphere must have been pretty scary. Geeze! You shoulda seen my mail! People going bananas and writing “what to do? what to do!?” Well, this one’s not going to be any better. But let me say in advance that today’s particular collection of items will lead us to a certain […]
Somehow, I think it is highly probable that we have a new event to add to our list of Meteorites, Asteroids, and Comets: Damages, Disasters, Injuries, Deaths, and Very Close Calls Have a look at the excerpts from the following two news items from this past week and see if something doesn’t seem off about the glib […]

It’s been another busy week at QFG HQ. I haven’t had much time to write, but today I’m going to make up for it. There are a couple of items in the news that I want to talk about, but first I want to give some background. Yesterday, someone posted in our forum the following: I have been noticing […]
NOTE! For some reason google’s blog software does not seem to be able to handle mathematical sentences … it keeps putting in strange codes and doing other bizarre things. You may wish to read this post on my other blog which, happily, is more advanced and can handle this sort of thing. Having just finished reading this […]
