... produce lightning in storm conditions. Is it possible that there are intermediate stages between these extremes, due to certain atmospheric conditions or for other reasons, where a greatly increased flow of current is produced by a whirlwind, leading to the results described in these books? The current flowing would interact with the Earth's magnetic field and travel in a spiral path, adding to the momentum of the whirlwind, if not producing it. Of course, this requires the positive ions to move (in the opposite direction to electrons) and this is either not known or not accepted by most scientists. Some process is required to produce a local reduction of atmospheric ohmic resistance and this might be ...
212. The Revelation of John (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... earthquakes now shook the planet to its core. In the daytime the satellite's material darkened the heavens and obscured the sun, while at night-time, shining in reflected sunlight, it appeared as dense swarms of shooting stars. What still remained of the satellite's core sped through the heavens in a dull red glow. The first ice-blocks had by now spiralled into the terrestrial atmosphere; they became dissolved into hail-clouds, and imparted what remained of their fall-velocity to the air-coat: a ceaseless western gale swept over the Earth. The movement in the tempest-riven sky looked like the springing together of an expanded parchment scroll when suddenly released. The waning powers of the satellite also caused the waters of the ...
213. Annotated Bibliography for Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . Incidentally, Hoerbiger suggested that both Mercury and Venus had once had orbits outside that of the earth. These two planets passed by the earth but were too large to be captured by the earth as moons. The current moon, Luna, formerly an independent planet, was captured by the earth around 11,500 years ago as Luna spiralled in towards the sun. Kelly, Allan O. and Dachille, Frank. Target: earth: the role of large meteors in earth science. Pensacola Engraving Co., Pensacola, FLorida, 1953. Kelly and Dachille suggest that the dinosaurs were wiped out by the environmental consequences of a major impact event, predating the famous 1980 ...
214. Death of a Comet: Shoemaker-Levy 9 Hits Jupiter [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . 12A.) Then there was Jupiter's surprise radio broadcast' (New Scientist 20th August 1994). Astronomers had expected radio emissions at high frequencies to drop but to hear the comet crash clearly at low frequencies. Instead, nothing happened at low frequency but emissions around 2 3 gigahertz rose by 20-30% - synchroton radiation generated by electrons spiralling around Jupiter's lines of magnetic flux at close to the speed of light. Never in 23 years of Jupiter observations have we seen such a rapid and intense increase in radio emission', said Michael Klein of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. The radio emission peaked on 23rd July, just after the last fragment of the comet, ...
215. Earth's "New" Companion and a "New" Visitor From Space [Journals] [Aeon]
... its companion, the asteroid switches to the inner lane and speeds up. But just before it passes Earth, it switches back to the outer lane and slows down again. And so it goes, a game of tag which neither Earth nor the asteroid ever wins. In a three dimensional view, these maneuvers by the asteroid make it spiral along its path. This relationship will not last forever. In the course of a time-span that will last "thousands of years," the asteroid's gravitational interactions with Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will eventually eject it out of the Earth-Moon system. As Wiegert succinctly phrased it: "Having waltzed with Earth for thousands of years, ...
216. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... could be sustained through any known physical principles. There is, however, evidence that straight linear arrangements of celestial bodies do exist- in total contradiction to gravitational theory. Under the accepted formulation of these laws, bodies that are situated farther and farther from the central body they orbit should revolve around it at slower and slower velocities. In spiral, and especially barred spiral galaxies the exact opposite occurs- the stars situated at greater distance from the centre revolve around it at greater and greater speed. Phillip Morrison in The Ring of Truth, (NY 1987), pp. 262-263, notes that when astronomers measured galactic rotation of stars around the centre they "were in for ...

... pole. four primary streams of ejecta radiating in four directions. an enclosing band. an illuminated crescent displayed on the band and visually rotating around the central orb. an aetherial column (mythically associated with Mars) appearing to hold aloft the revolving wheel. a comet-like appendage (mythically associated with the enclosing band and with Venus) seeming to spiral out from the wheel and revolving faster than the crescent. The phenomenon is a dynamic one, not only with a mysterious daily cycle (directly related to the behaviour of the crescent) but the entire Configuration undergoes spectacular changes during its lifetime. ' The single enclosure forms from an earlier nine-turn concentric spiral; After a long period of ...
218. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... " I have shown how the "Alpha" of this scene was not Eastward in Eden but southward at the beginning of the canopy's pole-ward march. The south was the beginning place of every new canopy condition. As a canopy approaches the pole it enters the region of conflict. It constantly sinks toward the planet as it proceeds in its spiral movement. It goes to the pole as a falling process and must fall long before it reaches the ultimate pole, and only atmospheric vapors could cloud the scene in our arctic sky. This would inevitably cause an opening in the polar heavens, through which the stars and the sunlight could look in from the outer cosmos. This fact ...
... gelatinous matter, is more than ten pounds. At upper Marlborough, on the Patuxent river, there is a stratum of rock of a gray shore-sand, filled with shells of an univalve mollusca, which seems to be a buccinum. The specimens I possess are very beautiful. I possess also the moulds, in indurated clay, of that spiral shell which resembles a cork screw. In these the covering has perished, and the earthy core alone remains. Some of them have been flattened and distorted by compression. The fossil remains in this region, bordering on the quehannah and the Chesapeake, afford proofs like those already stated of a deposite from inland floods since the oceanic strata ...
... into view (verse 3). The debris of the dying satellite, at first ice-blocks, and later fragments of metallo-mineral material, is addressed as the `tail' of the dragon, as long as it follows the satellite closely and is dense enough to have a uniform appearance. The more the fragments approached the earth's surface in their spirally decreasing orbits the more easily the eye of an observer could distinguish individual blocks. Shining in reflected sunlight these blocks appeared at night as streams of stars, that is, shooting-stars. It looked, indeed, as if the `dragon', with the tremendous sweeping of its tail, had disorbed the `third part', i ...
