Update: Clearing Up Elenin Rumor; Comet's Earth Proximity Mistaken, But Quake Warning Right On NewsFocus reported on the widespread rumors of the return of comet Elenin, discovered in 2010 by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin. Many touted its return and close proximity to earth as a harbinger for strong tectonic activity, due to the cosmic gravitational pull. As a result we posted a warning here for Friday, March 11th for severe earthquakes. (see below) While we posted the warning, it was with the misunderstanding that a large celestial body would be passing nearby the earth. Many had errantly made that prediction, however it was not true. NewsFocus tried to verify the allegations by checking the NASA JPL website, only to have difficulty finding corroborating data. What we did find was that comet Elenin would be passing close by the earth in September, not March. Still, the earthquake predictions from some touting Elenin as the cause bore true. What we had missed was that there was an "alignment" between the purported comet, the earth and the sun, which many claimed would have a strong gravitational pull on the earth. It was not a close proximity passing as some had claimed. To be accurate, comets are not known for having a strong pull from such an extremely long distance, 2.1 AU (astronomical units), or 195,207,195 miles from earth, yet the large earthquake came true as predicted on March 11th. Very curious indeed. Once the JPL site was accessible, NewsFocus rechecked for comet Elenin data. There was not a direct alignment on March 11th, as predicted. The alignment came four days afterward, on March 15th, after the 7.3 and 9.0 Japan quakes had already happened. We will note that for the record, there were alignments for the February 27, 2010 8.8 Chile earthquake, as well as the September 3, 2010 New Zealand 7.3 quake. Contrarily, there were no alignments for the April 4, 2010 7.2 Mexico earthquake, nor the June 9, 2010 7.2 in Northern Sumatra, or the July 23, 2010 7.6 in the Philippines. Nevertheless, the March 11th quake happened as predicted. NewsFocus has been investigating. An upcoming follow-up story will be published soon regarding eco-weaponry, with more also on comet Elenin. Stay tuned for more to come.
Friday, March 11th Could Be A Horrific Day Many researchers and scientists are concerned about catastrophic changes that could hit the earth beginning on Friday, March 11th. An alignment with passing comet Elenin is predicted by some to have a tremendous pull on the earth, much as it was alleged to with its passing last year when Christchurch was hit with a 7.3 on September 3rd, and Chile was hit by an 8.8 earthquake on February 27, 2010. Some are now predicting massive earthquakes, while others say the potential for a planetary pole shift could occur. (Others are saying pure BS.) NewsFocus cannot say for certain that disaster will strike, however, it would seem prudent for people to take the issue seriously and with caution, perhaps stocking up on necessary supplies. To dismiss this potential threat out of hand might be a careless disregard for danger and very well could have consequences for those who don't prepare or take the warnings seriously. Please prepare, just in case.
And now, the other side of the story...
