D. We Caught em: Online conversation:

CO-WATCHER:  hi kent
BARDSQUILL:  hullooooooo
CO-WATCHER:  I thought the NASA / SOHO response was funny
CO-WATCHER:  planets stream'ing
CO-WATCHER:  yeah sure guys, they are going 10000000 miles an hour
BARDSQUILL:  I'm glad that even the experts are as cornfused as me.
CO-WATCHER:  does it seem to exhibit comet characteristics?
CO-WATCHER:  unless it does a u turn or something exotic :)
BARDSQUILL:  Yea, SOHO-Team named it and claimed it
C/2002 G3 (SOHO)
BARDSQUILL:  Comet C/2002 G3 (SOHO)

BARDSQUILL:  I'm focusing totally on this critter and it is about to get even more interesting
BARDSQUILL:  I think we'll see it close up on the C2 which is a zoom.
CO-WATCHER:  oh no doubt.
CO-WATCHER:  I have no info from Jon on the object
CO-WATCHER:  suncruiser again at 12 o'clock?
BARDSQUILL:  On April 17, it will pass a mere 0.08 AU from the surface of our star. 
BARDSQUILL:  Oboy, hope it has a smiley face
BARDSQUILL:  Here's the most live of the live watches:
Raw Navy data-feed
http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/java/lastC3.html
BARDSQUILL:  starting to turn towards ol Sol.
CO-WATCHER:  fizzle fizzle
CO-WATCHER:  is it normal for the live feed to have lots of GRAY on it or is that what you get while the image is being downloaded from SOHO?
CO-WATCHER:  you there kent!?!?!
CO-WATCHER:  KEEEENNNTTT!
BARDSQUILL:  live feed b/w
BARDSQUILL:  sorry, looking at eagles. Think the Comet should be named, "HAARPMAN'S HARPY"
CO-WATCHER:  I've just refreshed the feed and the comet has vanished!
CO-WATCHER:  unless its just me
BARDSQUILL:  yer kiddin
CO-WATCHER:  And ... nw there is a streak on the images. lots of them.... errr.... before that the suncrusier made a HUGE appearance.
CO-WATCHER:  saved the GIF
CO-WATCHER:  but it looks like the comet has vanished
BARDSQUILL:  Holy-Moley, ye right.  What did ya do with it, heh?
CO-WATCHER:  it was there one freaking moment the next the suncruiser appears and the comet is gone!
CO-WATCHER:  shall I email you the GIF image?
BARDSQUILL:  send me one with suncruiser on it, YES!  Missed that one.
CO-WATCHER:  there she goes.

BARDSQUILL:  Waittaminute, they switched to an old feed!
CO-WATCHER:  you mean they are putting old images on?
CO-WATCHER:  bastards
CO-WATCHER:  definitely hiding something in this case
BARDSQUILL:  yea, here it is the 16th and they showin from the 15th
CO-WATCHER:  and updating it too!
BARDSQUILL:  what the crap!
BARDSQUILL:  oboy, something strange must be going on up there.
CO-WATCHER:  the last image I saw was the one where the entire left hand side was grey
CO-WATCHER:  which is why I asked if its normal for when its being downloaded.
BARDSQUILL:  Damn Navy Swabbies, must be cheap whiskey
CO-WATCHER:  all the latest C3 images from LASCO are stuffed.
CO-WATCHER:  one looks like a ghostly haze 
BARDSQUILL:  Or ol' head spook-dude B Inman butted in
CO-WATCHER:  very suspicious actions on their part
BARDSQUILL:  very, but we caught em, oboy, this gonna be fun.
CO-WATCHER:  they could .. or might as well put a banner saying 'temporarily unavailable - something is happening we dont want you to see'
BARDSQUILL:  heh, quoting that phrase
BARDSQUILL:  making a page here

EDITOR: Sorry, Navy-NASA-SOHO-SWABBIES, could be an honest mistake, slipping in an old tape by accident and all, but ye have after all been feeding us dum peasants rather awkward data all along: 20020414_0242 (many hours); 20020414_1718 (many hours) 20020415_1818 (ongoing). What are ye worried about?

Try switching to Cydonia tapes. We all know for sure they be reliable, eh?
