FIRST OF THE LEONIDS? EDITOR'S NOTE please send meteor reports
PERIODIC SERVER DISRUPTION
HOUSTON SERVER PROBLEMS: Lots of high meg video streaming by NASA connected to Marshall VIA Houston. T1 and T4 carriers are overloaded and of course Mil takes priority. Phone circuits are jammed in area.
ALERT |
Date: 98-11-16 19:33:45 ESTFrom: ulf@elfrad.com (Elfrad Group) Kent: Something very, very out of the ordinary is beginning. At 23:44 UTC, 6:44 PM EST, 11.16.1998, an intense burst of radiation was detected and recorded. Our detectors were completely saturated . . . continue Charlie, Elfrad Group |

A CHRISTMAS COMET? |
Presently in Cassiopeia

1998 Nov.
13.04 UT: m1 = 8.2, Dia = 9', DC = 3...20x80B....J.Bortle (Stormville, NY)
[Comet continues to brighten and expand rapidly - very obvious tonite with
binoculars. A 41-cmL@114x shows an intense 12th mag. nucleus and 1.0' surround
knot of very bright material. At 70x coma has no visible boundaries and outer
60% is extremely diffuse - m1 = 8.9, Dia = ~3.6', DC = 6.]
Retraction: Comet C/1998 U5 (LINEAR) is moving TOWARD Pegasus not AWAY from it as previously stated: no connection to Pegasi signal but the comet remains anomalous and may brighten considerably by December (so instructed, hmmmm):JPL Space Calendar seems no longer accessable Brian Marsden is out of town Nov 14-22 NEAT announcement, Oct 19: SCHEDULE: NEAT has been taken off the sky indefinitely due to USAF activities on the telescope. NEAT's estimated time of return to the sky is February 1999. NEAT may return earlier on another telescope if logistical details can be worked out. Hint for sleuths: search OPs project Blue Star (this is a wee bit of a troll: In mythology the second story of creation tells of the descent of the Hopi from the Blue Star of a constellation called the Seven Sisters.) |
INTERESTING NOTE: NUKE-PLANT SHUTDOWNS: How dependent are our nuclear facilities on satellite telemetry? If we lose 20% of our sats in Leonid storms, will this confuse the puny lil' Cyber-borg nuke brains?

DATA: ANOMALY INCOMINGUsing the entire earth as a dish antenna, ELFRAD investigates an anomaly on the approach: Is this the wavelength of Asteroid 1998 SH36 6,902,001 miles and closing? |
