... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: Volcanic Powers And Limitations I - Volcanoes Are Meteoric Deposits THE volcano plays a leading part in planetary building. If the meteor that strikes may be regarded as the male feature in natural phenomena, the volcano may be described as the female counterpart. It is the receptive agent. It attracts the passing meteor. Its function is to produce and give birth. These are principles which I shall now seek to establish. An active volcano is terrestrially the womb and plays an equivalent part in the forces of nature, and at the same time has itself been originally a meteor deposited of the face of ...
392. Catastrophes in the period 5th cent. BC to 14th cent. AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... - e.g . a dream about Satan falling out of the sky in the form of a great stone which threatened to crush him. The story that St Patrick banished serpents from Ireland has often been ridiculed. Snakes were not part of the fauna. However Patrick did banish (the worship) of serpents (and dragons) = comets (and their meteoric parts). Christianity replaced paganism after he died. He is thought to have dictated The Confessions when he was elderly and they may have been edited after his death. This is pertinent in view of the opening lines, ' .. . and the Lord brought over us the wrath of his anger and scattered ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Four: The Deterioration Of Climate IV - The Reason Of Raised Beaches WHEN it is shown that the sea-level has risen over the centuries in so systematic a manner it stands to reason that numerous examples of raised beaches at various places in Britain and elsewhere cannot mark any normal level of the waters, and must be accounted for in another fashion. A raised beach is a definite indication of a height or situation against which the water beat and deposited certain detritus, or left other indications of its presence. It yields evidence of a marine or lacustrine terrace, consisting usually of sand and gravel, sometimes possessing ...
394. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... reader, it seemed a good idea to gather together enough of these original contexts' to show just what the problems are. There is another argument that is bound to occur in connection with any analysis of "Worlds in Collision", and it is this: no known text, myth or legend refers directly and unmistakably to the Venus Comet. The evidence' is always either indirect, secondary or symbolic- and thus open to dispute I am personally very suspicious of this situation. It seems to me not unlike that in which every published account of the Second World War was suddenly discovered to have studiously avoided any direct mention of Hitler or the Third Reich. I am ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Meteors And Weather III Distant Catastrophes And Weather Reactions THE sifting out of new atmospherics is a gradual process whereby sooner or later they are captured and go to recruit the prevailing winds of the area which they thus invade. The prevailing winds, for instance, in the West of Europe are south-westerly, following the line of the Gulf Stream and beginning off the coast of Florida. If a north-easterly hurricane strikes this system it will blow itself out and gradually return along much the same direction as a south-west wind, so that sooner or later the new atmospherics are dispersed over a very considerable area. ...
396. Velikovsky In Collision [Journals] [Kronos]
... .- CLE A book called Worlds in Collision was published in the U.S .A . in 1950. According to it, Venus as a planet is only about 3,500 years old. What afterwards became the planet had been ejected at some earlier time from Jupiter. This thing, which one could only call an enormous comet, moved for centuries on a highly eccentric orbit. About 1500 B.C . it made its two closest approaches to the Earth. Our planet survived these encounters only at the cost of fearful damage. During the 8th and 7th centuries B.C ., comet-Venus repeatedly approached Mars, and Mars in turn menaced the Earth. ...

... way to Jupiter last August. This is the first known case of a magnetic asteroid and indicates that it is probably mostly metal. Fuzzy lights Science Frontiers No.86, March-April 1993 Fuzzy rapidly moving lights in the sky are frequently observed by amateur astronomers and are as yet not satisfactorily explained. They may be related to the small icy comets postulated by Frank to bring water continually to Earth. Lunar volcanicity The Times, 24.12.92 Photographs of the Moon taken recently by spacecraft Galileo reveal that volcanic activity was much more frequent and widespread during the early history of the moon than previously believed'. Ice on Mercury The Baltimore Sun 7.11.91 Although ...
398. Thoth Vol III, No. 4: Feb 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... from an electric point of view. He covers an enormous range of phenomena, from subatomic particles through stellar and galactic evolution, floodlighting our understanding of the universe with insights garnered from mythical symbols, space probes, and plasma lab experiments. As an illustration, let me compare the received explanation with Thornhill's electric explanation for the tail of Halley's Comet, both presented in light of photographs returned by the ESA spacecraft Giotto in March, 1986. The standard theory states that "Comets grow tails only when they get warm enough for ice and dust to boil off. . . . on the [sunward side], jets of gas and dust spurt from active holes in its [ ...

400. Meteorite Impacts of Geological Significance: A Human Perspective [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Sudbury Ontario 100 1.7 billion Ishim Kazakhstan, USSR 350* 435 million *Radial and arcuate fractures reach out to 700 km dia. The magnitude of the Ishim collision inferred from the diameter of the structure and the recent time of its occurrence [10] add profound meaning to estimates of the frequency of meteorite (or asteroid or comet) collisions on Earth and the other planets. A start toward deducing this frequency is made in Fig. 1, which summarizes the results of five methods of determining the meteoroid flux in the Earth's vicinity, [11,12] all recalculated to the base of the Earth's surface area. The estimates of H. Brown (No ...
