NASA Demonstrates A More Open Forum...06/18/99
by Mitch Battros (ECTV)

I am very pleased with what appears to be NASA's willingness to
discuss more openly with myself and others, real life issues
that affect us all. This is truly the better way. It is much
more effective to allow an open forum where NASA can layout
there assessments as well as those in the paranormal  who make
predictions. I believe this will help minimize the sometimes
outlandish predictions made on the internet. At the same time,
this forum lets NASA put on the record for all of us to see,
what their data shows. When this is done, the track record will
speak for itself.

A perfect example of the this new forum is "Comet Lee".
Scientists with the "Millennium Group" are worried that Comet
Lee at the very least, may cause solar explosions (CMEs) in our
solar system, earthquakes, and hurricane - like weather on
Earth.  At the worst, well, Shoemaker- Levy's comet fragments
crashing into Jupiter could be a pictorial warning for Earth if
Comet Lee is captured in Earth-moon orbit.

Charles S. Morris, JPL Astronomer, wrote to me after I had
posted my article on this matter. He has outlined his assessment
as follows.

* Comet Lee's orbit is not erratic. It is well-known. The comet
will not hit the Earth or come any place close to it. The
closest it will come to the Earth is about 77 million miles (the
Sun is 93 million miles from Earth) at the end of September
1999. An orbital diagram is posted below...see for yourself.

* Comet Lee (or any comet) will not cause coronal mass
ejections. And Comet Lee's orbit is not affected by them.

* The comet is not expected to become bright. It is not
abnormally bright nor is it brightening at an unusual rate. In
fact, it is not expected to become a naked-eye object. It is
currently near its peak brightness.

Now this is the type of discovery protocol that has been
missing. On NASA's part, they had become untrusting in the eyes
of the public. They had also been to dismissive of those in the
esoteric sciences, which led to even more suspicion of NASA
being untruthful. On the other hand, those in the esoteric
sciences had let too many of their colleagues get away with
ridiculous predictions and frivolous analysis, perhaps leaving
NASA to shake it's head with bewilderment.

Mr. Charles Morris of  JPL and Mr. Craig DeForest of SOHO, I
thank you for coming forward and responding to my articles in
the way you have. I am hopeful we can continue this new way of
correspondence. I believe it will be when both sides put forth
their data in a respectable manner, that the truth will unfold.

As an old professor of mine once told me. "It is all in the
track record".

NASA Discloses Space Station Botch...06/18/99

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Flight controllers botched an
attempt to move the new international space station out of the
way of a speeding piece of space junk, but the rocket debris
ended up passing at a safe distance. The incident was disclosed
by NASA Thursday. NASA said the sequence of computer commands
sent up by flight controllers to fire the station's engines
failed because of human error. Initially, the U.S. military
organization that tracks objects in space predicted the rocket
chunk would pass within two-thirds of a mile of the space
station Sunday. It ended up coming no closer than four miles. If
the rocket debris had collided with the space station, it could
have destroyed the empty outpost, which has been in orbit for
seven months.

Yes NASA, we all just human when you get down to it. Now I want
to know how you will handle asteroids and meteror showers?
Just asking  :-}

Best Wishes, MB
