Comet Hale-Bopp

Wormwood?

10 "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-- 11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter."--Revelation 8:10-11


The images of Hale-Bopp titled "First Contact" (See Earthly Giant's Fingers reaching out to touch the Comet) was taken 4/4/97 at about 9:30 PM with Fuji 800 film and Minolta 135mm lens at f/2 mounted "piggyback" on old Tasco 2.4 inch refractor telescope and hand guided for 6 minutes.

 

Photos taken on a dark windy night from the scenic rock formations of Indian Cove Campground at Joshua Tree National Park about 50 miles north of Palm Springs. 

We had a great evening looking at and photographing this great celestial visitor. 

It is my hope that those viewing these images take the time to get out and actually see the great heavenly wonders that are there for our pleasure and enjoyment and point to the incredible awesomeness of the creator.

Thinking it to be a text file, I brought up the file with the intent of copying so I could read it later. What happened next was truly remarkable. The file sort of "deteriorated" into a series of command lines that lasted approximately two minutes. Once it was done running, there it was. I had found a direct link-up to the Hubble space telescope. Not only that, but it was pointed directly at the comet Hale-Bopp. The program was running some kind of analysis. Taking directional notes, projecting path of travel, etc. After realizing what I had discovered, I started searching and came across an e-mail data trail that led directly to the office of the Pope himself. What was discussed, I cannot know. Over the next two weeks, I began to uncover evidence that the Vatican is very aware of the existence of the companion, and is VERY worried about it. I began to copy files and pictures that were present at the terminal, when I found a report from the United Nations to the Vatican, as well as a report from NASA regarding their concerns. It is very obvious to me that a great many people and entities know of the companion and are doing their best to keep quiet. VERY quiet. "WORMWOOD?"

 

Here is a short summary of the major events related to Hale-Bopp alleged companion:

  • November 14, 1996: Chuck Shramek takes a CCD image of the comet. One of the background stars displays some spikes, giving it a "Saturn-like" look. On Art Bell's radio show, Mr.Shramek announced this Saturn-Like Object (SLO) to the world. The rumor spread on the net that this object was a huge spacecraft (3 times as large as the Earth). The original image is compared to the Palomar Sky Survey, and the SLO is identified as star SAO 141894.

 

  • November-December 1996: Other SLOs were "discovered" in images released on different web sites. In all cases, the SLO was identified as a star and/or some CCD artifacts. A table lists all the "SLO" and companions I heard of, with the explanation of the phenomena which caused it. In order to help those who are not experience working with CCD images, the two pages linked below constitute a short summary of CCD imaging analysis techniques:

     

  • January 15, 1997: a new "UFO" picture was posted on Art Bell's and Whitley Strieber's web sites. We have identified that image as being a fake based on an image obtained by an astronomer at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, Dr. David Tholen.

    A statement has been issued about this fraud (in HTML format with figures).

    Dr. Brown (who sent the hoax to Bell and Strieber) claims he received the original photo on film rolls. This is impossible since the original photo were obtained digitally. More details, including the real, raw images directly from the telescope, are available on this site.

     

  • March 26, 1997: Thirty nine members of a cult were found dead in their Californian mansion. They apparently died in a carefully organized suicide. It seems that the victims believed they were going to meet Hale-Bopp's companion. I hope they found the peace they were searching, even if there was no UFO to meet them. http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/images/hale-bopp/hale-bopp.html
