I don't understand why everyone is still focused on Elenin, and yet Asteroid YU55 is getting little to no attention. YU55 is going to pass between the earth and the moon's orbit from November 8th to 11th, with its closest approach being about 325,000 kilometers (201,700 miles) from earth,.0022AU, which is EXTREMELY close. Nasa says it wont hit us, but the slightest change in YU55's orbit could cause it make a direct impact on Earth. This ain't no little comet either, YU55 is 1,300 feet (400 meters) in diameter. If it were to hit the Earth, it could kill millions of people easily, the reality would probably be much worse.
Check out this video of its estimated approach:

Im not trying to scare anybody, and I'm absolutely not saying its going to hit Earth for sure, I just don't understand how this Asteroid, that has a much better chance of hitting us, gets nowhere near the attention that Elenin gets.

8/7/2011 - THE TRUTH ABOUT ELENIN – DON’T YOU GET IT? – IT’S NOT REAL – IT’S A WARNING !!!!
Interesting take--THE TRUTH ABOUT ELENIN – DON’T YOU GET IT? – IT’S NOT REAL – IT’S A WARNING !!!!
Posted By: WatchmanDate: Saturday, 6-Aug-2011 21:58:07
More on the “Comet” Elenin thing. The whole thing is either a gov psyop or a viral marketing plan for a movie or a game. Some interesting thoughts from someone who doesn’t seem to buy it either…from a GLP post…link at end. THE TRUTH ABOUT ELENIN – DON’T YOU GET IT? – IT’S NOT REAL – IT’S A WARNING !!!! I have to sound off on this. I suggest a pin (GLP speak), regardless of whether this has been discussed or not, because this whole Elenin situation has been misunderstood and it’s time we put this thing to bed and see the whole thing for what it truly is. I’ve been reading all the comments and theories on this board about Elenin…from the dwarf star theory, to the red mini-sun theory, to the Richard Hoagland hostile hyperbolic alien spacecraft theory, to the ordinary comet theory, to the theory that it’s some sort of “super-comet” that is storing up a freakish amount of electrical charge as its postively charged nucleus gathers up a ridiculous amount of electrons which it will discharge when it reaches perihelion, thereby triggering an apocalypse. Elenin represents one thing and one thing only. It’s a warning of some kind, nothing more. That’s it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a comet or a giant turd. The discovery of this object by Leonid Elenin and the JPL data being made available to the public represents a moral compromise by NASA and the U.S. Government to give the general public a clue that something is coming, and it’s also a way for them to clearly establish amongst themselves coming events that they are concerned about…The alignments and the close calls shown in the JPL data represent dates of concern. They want you to know, and they’re also using the alignments and the close calls to synchronize their efforts without having to talk about it openly amongst themselves. ** The bizarre coincidences: 1) What are the odds of guy named Leonid Elenin growing up to be an amateur astronomer who just happens to discover a comet that is coming between the Earth and the sun in September of 2011 (9/11…his name “Elenin” is 9/11 backwards) 2) What are the odds of guy named Leonid Elenin growing up to be an amateur astronomer who just happens to discover a comet that is reaching its point closest to the sun on 9/11/11 (again, his name is 9/11 backwards) 3) If you want to throw the whole 9/11 thing out, that’s fine, but what are the odds of a guy whose first name is Leo and whose last name is an acronym for “Extinction Level Event” growing up to be an amateur astronomer who discovers a comet while at the same time a movie that was released 13 years earlier (“DEEP IMPACT”) just happens to have a character named Leo who discovers a comet that the Government decides to name “E.L.E.” in the movie 4) What are the odds of guy named Leonid Elenin growing up to be an amateur astronomer who just happens to discover a comet whose tail the Earth will pass through in November, when the definition for the term “LEONID” just happens to be “a meteor shower associated with a comet that occurs in the month of November “LEONIDS” definition Wikipedia Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonids And there’s your answer. This is deliberate. The comet isn’t a real comet. It can be only one thing. It’s either a natural object or an artificial object of some sort that’s designed to look like a comet, and it’s being intelligently controlled by a government agency. The government is using “Elenin” as an informative vehicle to give those in the general public, both in the U.S. and abroad, that are awake and that are paying attention to this kind of stuff a chance to prepare and protect their family, if they choose to, and the government is also using “Elenin” for their own purposes in order to synchronize their efforts and disclose information to other government agencies without having to go into too much detail amongst themselves…they can always refer to “Elenin” without having to refer to what’s actually causing these changes or any classified information. So heed the warnings, or don’t. Clearly they want you to know that the end of September through the end of November represents a time when they feel we might cross the threshold and that the disasters will start to become bigger at that point, it doesn’t matter when the actual pole shift will occur, they’re telling you that we cross the threshold sometime during that late September through late November timeframe…the crap should start to hit the fan at that point. That’s why this whole Elenin situation is so in-your-face, so over-the-top and obvious. They want you to pay attention to it. They had to provide us with a timeline, in a surreptitious but unambiguous way, because that’s their moral code (I’m not talking about the Illuminati, I’m talking about NASA and the U.S. Government). It’s the only warning you’ll ever get, because there’s not going to be a press conference about this, aside from a possible emergency broadcast message right before the disaster. I hope this clarifies things for everyone, and that we stop debating whether it’s a comet, or a dwarf star, or a giant turd. It’s none of those things. It’s a warning, nothing more. They might even decide to detonate the object when it reaches perihelion…by then, it would have already served its purpose, which was to synchronize their efforts and provide specific dates of concern to all agencies of government without discussing it openly, and to let the people know, those that want to know and are willing to seek out the information and react to it, otherwise there would have been absolutely no point to running commercials like those Ready.gov commercials and letting that NASA Preparedness video go viral unless they were also going to give you some sort of a clue as to when you needed to get prepared. They want you to get prepared now, not in 2012. That’s the Elenin message. Source: www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1582268/pg1 |

8/6/2011 - Elenin Comet: 2 Assassinated Astronomers End Of The world?
Elenin Comet: 2 Assassinated Astronomers End Of The world?
: July 28, 2011 by UFOHUNTERORGUK in elenin/nibiru/brown dwarf 2012
Elenin comet: 2 assassinated astronomers… End of the world?
wikistrike.over-blog.com/article-comete-elenin-2-astronomes-assassines-la-fin-du-monde-76982262.html
The team of Wikistrike consequently and lengthily reflected before publishing this information of the more high importance. This information could involve media and human consequences irreversible. According to our sources, we discovered the recent and suspect death of 2 astronomers, which counted among most important of the world. What you will read is exclusive and these assassinations would be as the irrefutable proof of what awaits us all.
Brian Geoffrey Marsden was born on August 5, 1937, he died on November 18, 2010. He was an astronomer américano-British; he was since 1978 the director of Minor Planet Center of the SAO located at Cambridge in Massachusetts. Minor Planet Center, under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union, it is the official organization in charge of the data-gathering of observation for small planets (asteroids) and comets, the calculation of their orbit and the publication of this information via Minor Planet Circulars…
Al Rex Sandage was born on June 18, 1926 in Iowa city, Iowa (the United States), and died in San Gabriel (California) on November 13, 2010; it counted among the largest contemporary American astronomers. Born in an Jewish family, it converts towards the end of its life to Christianity. Sandage worked at the observatory of the Palomar Mount. This observatory belongs and is controlled by California Institue off technology (Caltech). One of the important programs allotted to the Palomar mount is the research program of comets and the asteroids géocroiseurs called Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT). the asteroids géocroiseurs are asteroids evolving/moving in the vicinity or in direction of the Earth. To name them one often uses abbreviation ECA, of English Earth-Crossing Asteroids, asteroids whose orbit crosses that of the Earth. Some of these objects being likely to run up against the Earth, they are the subject of a research and a particular follow-up…
The two men died of an acute encephalomyelitis. Disseminated acute encephalomyelitis or encéphalite post-infectious or encéphalite périveineuse are an inflammatory disease démyélinisante central nervous system. It is usually secondary with a viral, bacterial infection or with a vaccination but can also appear spontaneously. It consists of an auto-immune ignition leading to the destruction of the sheaths of myéline in the substance white, and present in this respect similarities (physiopathological, clinical and paraclinic) with the pushes of multiple sclerosis. It is a rare disease whose incidence is worth 0,8 cas/100 000 personnes/an and who preferentially touches the child and the teenager, the majority of the case occurring between 5 and 8 years. This fulgurating disease perhaps inoculated by means of an aerosol, very often arms used by the CIA.
The two astronomers died at 5 days of interval of the same disease, and which more is of an extremely rare disease. They were specialized in the observation and the research of comets. Death threats by the US government nothing to reveal on their discoveries concerning the trajectory and the real size of the comet Elenin, they persisted in wanting to reveal the facts with the general public but in vain. A few weeks later, the trajectory which is given officially to the general public by NASA will be obviously false. Work of Marsden and Sandage showed a proximity too much important. The consequences would be a bursting of the earth’s crust on the totality of the sphere. A true cataclysm. Half of humanity will be decimated.
Let us recall here that the physicist Michio Kaku, who had predicted the earthquakes in Japan, announces a world earthquake. The scientist of reputation, Michi Kaku, physicist, warns the citizens of the world of a méga potential earthquake. Michio Kaku decided in this direction during an appearance to the emission “Good Morning America”. He explained why there was very strong probability so that seisms of scale touch the planet Ground in several places…
He still explains that the ground is about to undergo strong jolts, a little everywhere, and affirms that the cities all over the world are not ready with this possibility…
More especially as several cities were built in places which it had been held better for some shacks of fishermen…
Michio Kaku does not spare its words: “People should expect to see disappearing from the cities as important as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mexico City City, Teheran, Tokyo. Moreover, in fact the big cities will be most favourable to suffer damage. ”
Kaku concluded while saying “It is necessary to remember earthquake of magnitude 8.8 which took place in Chile in 2010! It was so considerable that it literally made deviate planet of 8 centimetres (3 inches); and since this violent jolt our days do not have 24 hours really any more exactly!

It knows very well that this world earthquake will be due in the months which come in the passing from the Elenin comet, which is not a comet but dwarf brown, a planet 5 times superior in Jupiter, which passes in our solar system every 3600 years. Its orbit makes it go and come between our system and that from Orion.
This planet bears much name: Nibiru, Marduk, Nemesis, Tyche, Elenin, planet X, Hercolubus, red planet.
Nibiru (in sumérien) the mythical planet. Babylonian and the akkadiens named it Mardouk, meaning king of the skies. The Egyptians and Hebrew represented it in the shape of a winged disc because of its immense elliptic orbit in the shape of spread wings. The Greeks named it them Némésis.
The apocalypse of Midsummer’s Day mentions this star.
Elenin is dwarf brown, a dark star. The majority of dwarf brown only float in space, which confirms that they are formed like stars and not like planets. The dwarf brown ones are not easily observable, since they emit only one weak radiation in the infra-red. And this is why, in Greek mythology, the Orion giant walks towards the east plugged by the sun… where it will finish by recovered the sight. The myth of Orion shows well that the Elenin planet, coming from the system from Orion, the large hunter, is plugged by the sun, because indeed the dwarf brown ones are almost invisible because they emit only one weak radiation in the infra-red. If all the myths speak about the same star related to the flood, because the Orion hunter was praised to be the only being able to destroy any life on ground, then there is to fear much and in the months which come, the end of the world could start well.
It is necessary to find refuge in mountain and far from the coasts. Made bunkers, reserves of food, books, it will be necessary to preserve all that you will be able for those which can, for those which will want. The life expectancy of the human beings on our planet is of approximately 60 years. It is very little, Wikistrike requires of all its readers to pose fundamental questions on their existence. Death is not an end, then flood or not, world cataclysm without precedent or not, live each day as if it were the last, are happy, are constructive and positive, because to sink in any case in general panic will save us at all, it does not have no loophole there.
Good luck with all.

8/4/2011 - Elenin Coma Diameter Exceeds 200,000 km says Leonid Elenin
Elenin Coma Diameter Exceeds 200,000 km says Leonid Elenin
spaceobs.org
So, the first results. The comet has grown. Now the diameter of it’s outer coma exceeded 200,000 km! Of course, at this time we have only low resolution images, but they still allow us to estimateits current size. I want to remind you that the outer coma, it’s very discharged gas envelope, not the nucleus itself, estimates of the nucleus size has not changed. On the left picture you can see the comet itself, as well as the angular size of the Sun, if it was located at the same distance as comet. Impressive?(visit the link for the full news article)
Leonid says nucleus is still probably 3-4 km, but how this can be possible?
I've tried to remain skeptical and not get too worried, but things seem to be picking up.
Apparently it's larger than Jupiter and as it passes the asteroid belt the coma will grow! The diameter of jupiter is 143,000 km.

8/3/2011 - NASA Now Observing Comet ELENIN (C/2010 X1)
NASA Now Observing Comet ELENIN (C/2010 X1)
iReport —
Nov 9, 2011 the earth will supposedly cross the threshold of the debris tail of ELENIN on the same plain (assuming ELENIN is a real object that would be catastrophic).
This is a cool interactive NASA chart displaying the comets trajectory through the solar system:
ELENIN, according to some researchers stands for Extinction Level Event Notable Impact November — also encoded into the name is Elevin Nine (Nov. 9), and LEONID (a meteor shower that peaks in November).
So is NASA worried? Not on the surface. They did release this internal video for their employees concerning emergency preparedness, though:
This also ties in with the massive gearing up of underground bases recently built, specifically under the new Denver International Airport.
This incoming object appears to be massive. The strange thing is that only a select few sources worldwide have seen the object a few of which we traced back to DARPA directly.
Big seems to be the appropriate word for we now have the first actual astronomical calculations that puts the coma (the part they can see is 50,000 miles in diameter) Yes a big rock!
“On April 8th at our Russian observatory we carried out planned observations of Comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin). An analysis of the results of the observations shows a rapid growth of the coma. Besides the internal compact gas envelope, the forming rarified external coma is also visible in the image.
Its diameter exceeds 1 minute of arc, or 80,000 km! It is possible that such a rapid growth of the coma is associated with the apparent superposition over it of the comet’s dust tail, which after opposition, still remains invisible to the earthly observer.”
The coma is what astronomers actually see and is actually much bigger than the core. It’s the green in the second above picture that they are saying is 80,000 km or 50,000 miles across. We could estimate that the core might be half the diameter of the coma or approximately 25,000 miles. Big enough—it seems to be already stirring up the Earth under our feet.
We have news out of Cornell University that sustains the view that Elenin is playing a direct part in causing large earthquakes.
Professor Mensur Omerbashich is saying that his “georesonatorconcept in which tidally induced magnification of Earth masses’ resonance causes seismicity.” This trashes NASA’s assertion that the humongous earthquake we saw in Japan and before that with the ones in Chile and New Zealand were coincidental with alignments between Elenin, the Earth and the Sun.
The earth’s seismicity can arise as a natural response
of our planet to its alignments with other celestial objects.
Professor Mensur Omerbashich
of our planet to its alignments with other celestial objects.
Professor Mensur Omerbashich
Omerbashich demonstrates empirically that “all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred during the Earth’s long astronomical alignments within our solar system. He shows that the same holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s.
He asserts that the “comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin) has been adding to robustness in terms of very strong seismicity since 2007.Elenin will continue intensifying the Earth’s very strongseismicity until August-October, 2011.”
It seems like every time Elenin lines up with Earth and another planet or the Sun we have an earthquake, the nearer Elenin gets the bigger the earthquakes.
Now of course we have many earthquakes and if we showed them all, this chart would then lose much of its meaning. The 9.1 earthquake in Japan though will never lose its meaning and it happened on cue with an alignment with Elenin.

The next alignment occurs on September 6th. Watch the news on this date for a large earthquake. Use this as a barometer. If a massive quake occurs, then you know this info has substance.
Many sceptics are out there. You have to look at all the info before making a snap decision.
Below you will see two articles, one from the Washington Post and another from The New York Times from 28 years ago, but read them like they were printed yesterday. Astronomy deals practically with eternity so what is 28 years? NASA came right out and admitted they found a massive very cold body outside the solar system.
Now they are not saying a thing about this or whether this massive comet has anything to do with their discovery almost three decades ago. What could possibly be their motive for keeping a tight lid on this terribly important subject?
Mass panic concerns, obviously.

Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered
31-Dec-1983A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby “protostar” that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars, or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through. “All I can tell you is that we don’t know what it is,” Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS chief scientist for California’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology, said in an interview.
The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or in space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet, as large as Jupiter and as close to Earth as 50 billion miles. While that may seem like a great distance in earthbound terms, it is a stone’s throw in cosmological terms, so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost planet Pluto. “If it is really that close, it would be a part of our solar system,” said Dr. James Houck of Cornell University’s Center for Radio Physics and Space Research and a member of the IRAS science team. “If it is that close, I don’t know how the world’s planetary scientists would even begin to classify it.”
The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of the super-cold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time. “This suggests it’s not a comet because a comet would not be as large as the onewe’ve observed and a comet would probably have moved,” Houck said. “A planet may have moved if it were as close as 50 billion miles but it could still be a more distant planet and not have moved in six months’ time.
Whatever it is, Houck said, the mystery body is so cold its temperature is no more than 40 degrees above “absolute” zero, which is 459 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. The telescope aboard IRAS is cooled so low and is so sensitive it can “see” objects in the heavens that are only 20 degrees above absolute zero. When IRAS scientists first saw the mystery body and calculated that it could be as close as 50 billion miles, there was some speculation that it might be moving toward Earth. “It’s not incoming mail,” Cal Tech’s Neugebauer said. “I want to douse that idea with as much cold water as I can.”

Clues Get Warm in the Search for Planet X
30-January-1983
John Noble Wilford
Something out there beyond the farthest reaches of the known solar system seems to be tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Some gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object that may be the long-sought Planet X.
Evidence assembled in recent years has led several groups of astronomers to renew the search for the 10th planet. They are devoting more time to visual observations with the 200-inch telescope at Mount Palomar in California. They are tracking two Pioneer spacecraft, now approaching the orbit of distant Pluto, to see if variations in their trajectories provide clues to the source of the mysterious force. And they are hoping that a satellite-borne telescope launched last week will detect heat “signatures” from the planet, or whatever it is out there.
The Infrared Astronomical Satellite was boosted into a 560-mile-high polar orbit Tuesday night from Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA. It represents an $80-million venture by the United States, Britain and the Netherlands. In the next six or seven months, the telescope is expected to conduct a wide-ranging survey of nearly all the sky, detecting sources not of ordinary light, but of infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye and largely absorbed by the atmosphere. Scientists thus hope that the new telescope will chart thousands of infrared-emitting objects that have gone undetected—stars, interstellar clouds, asteroids and, with any luck, the object that pulls at Uranus and Neptune.The last time a serious search of the skies was made, it led to the discovery in 1930 of Pluto, the ninth planet. But the story begins more than a century before that, after the discovery of Uranus in 1781 by the English astronomer and musician William Herschel. Until then, the planetary system seemed to end with Saturn.
As astronomers observed Uranus, noting irregularities in its orbital path, many speculated that they were witnessing the gravitational pull of an unknown planet. So began the first planetary search based on astronomers’ predictions, which ended in the 1840s with the discovery of Neptune almost simultaneously by English, French and German astronomers.
But Neptune was not massive enough to account entirely for the orbital behavior of Uranus. Indeed, Neptune itself seemed to be affected by a still more remote planet. In the late 19th century, two American astronomers, William H. Pickering and Percival Lowell, predicted the size and approximate location of the trans-Neptunian body, which Lowell called Planet X.
Years later, Pluto was detected by Clyde W. Tombaugh working at Lowell Observatory in Arizona. Several astronomers, however, suspected it might not be the Planet X of prediction. Subsequent observations proved them right. Pluto was too small to change the orbits of Uranus and Neptune; the combined mass of Pluto and its recently discovered satellite, Charon, is only one-fifth that of Earth’s moon.
Recent calculations by the United States Naval Observatory have confirmed the orbital perturbation exhibited by Uranus and Neptune, which Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern, an astronomer at the observatory, says could be explained by “a single undiscovered planet.” He and a colleague, Dr. Robert Harrington, calculate that the 10th planet should be two to five times more massive than Earth and have a highly elliptical orbit that takes it some 5 billion miles beyond that of Pluto—hardly next door but still within the gravitational influence of the Sun.
Some astronomers have reacted cautiously to the 10th-planet predictions. They remember the long, futile quest for the planet Vulcan inside the orbit of Mercury; Vulcan, it turned out, did not exist. They wonder why such a large object as a 10th planet escaped the exhaustive survey by Mr. Tombaugh, who is sure it is not in the two-thirds of the sky he examined. But according to Dr. Ray T. Reynolds of the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA, other astronomers “are so sure of the 10th planet, they think there’s nothing left but to name it.”
At a scientific meeting last summer, 10th-planet partisans tended to prevail. Alternative explanations for the outer-planet perturbations were offered. The something out there, some scientists said, might be an unseen black hole or neutron star passing through the Sun’s vicinity. Defenders of the 10th planet parried the suggestions. Material falling into the gravitational field of a black hole, the remains of a very massive star after its complete gravitational collapse, should give off detectable X-rays, they noted; no X-rays have been detected. A neutron star, a less massive star that has collapsed to a highly dense state, should affect the courses of comets, they said, yet no such changes have been observed.More credence was given to the hypothesis that a “brown dwarf” star accounts for the mysterious force. This is the informal name astronomers give to celestial bodies that were not massive enough for their thermonuclear furnaces to ignite; perhaps like the huge planet Jupiter, they just missed being self-illuminating stars.
Most stars are paired, so it is not unreasonable to suggest that the Sun has a dim companion. Moreover, a brown dwarf in the neighborhood might not reflect enough light to be seen far away, said Dr. John Anderson of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. Its gravitational forces, however, should produce energy detectable by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite.Whatever the mysterious force, be it a brown dwarf or a large planet, Dr. Anderson said he was “quite optimistic” that the infrared telescope might find it and that the Pioneer spacecraft could supply an estimate of the object’s mass. Of course, no one can be sure that even this discovery would define the outermost boundary of the solar system.
So the signs are out there. The Government has prepared underground bases and has continuity of government procedures in place. Notable among them are:
1. REX84 (Readiness Exercise 1984)
Activated due to a catastrophic event that is yet to take place.
2. A Pentagon announced plan that directly correlates with a 2009, Army funded, Rand Corporation study that called for an internal United States police force to combat civil unrest. The plan basically calls for the deployment of a 20,000 strong internal troop force inside the continental United States (CONUS) that was set to be trained by 2011, thus dovetailing into the current troop and equipment movements around the country reported by truckers as well as many more troop sightings by everyday citizens.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
That all depends on what you believe. You can choose NOT to see the signs and go about your daily lives without a care, or you can try and prepare yourself and your family for any contingency.
Be prepared for massive earthquakes. Stock up on food, water, and ammunition.
Be prepared to get underground during the passage through the comets tail on November 9th. Our magnetosphere that day will not protect us.
