From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CAUS updates] - ParaNormal Network News (P3N) --Cassini; Mars; Planets & Stars Dear CAUS Members: On this Monday, CAUS shares with you four stories from the ParaNormal News Network (P3N): NOSTRADAMUS & CASSINI by EcoNews Service C 1999 Antero Alli Read now, some of Nostradamus' words from over 400 years ago: "In the year 1999, and seven months from the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring to life the great King of the Mongols. Before and after war reigns happily. (note: this was written before the Gregorian calendar shifted; please interpret seven months as "eight", i.e., August 1999) "'This will be preceded by the eclipse of the sun, more obscure and tenebrous than has ever been since the creation of the world, except that eclipse after the death and passion of Jesus Christ." >From the Sky will come the Great King of Terror... Cassini is an unmanned NASA deep space probe launched back in October, 1997 with an ultimate destination of reaching Saturn in 2005 (NASA's priciest space project yet; $2-3 billion invested.) Currently, Cassini is racing back towards Earth at 43,000 miles per hour with the hopes of picking up speed in an orbital flyby around our planet. Preceded by the eclipse of the Sun by one week, Cassini arrives 400 miles above the Earth's atmosphere on August 18, 1999, to pick up speed on its way out to Saturn. The real danger of this Earth flyby is that Cassini is traveling with a fuel load of 72 pounds of Plutonium Dioxide, NASA's idea of a new propulsion source. What were they thinking?! The slightest malfunction, miscalculation, or random collision with space debris could result in the probe, and its deadly plutonium, reentering earth's atmosphere and incinerating its deadly cargo. NASA claims the chance of such an accident resulting in a plutonium release is one in a million. Many do not agree with that assessment. The isotope of plutonium used in Cassini, Pu-238, is especially dangerous because of its rapid rate of radioactive decay. It has a very short half-life (87.75 years) which means it emits radiation (mainly alpha particles) at a very high rate. Although it's true that alpha particles can be stopped by a piece of paper, when even a tiny microscopic particle of Plutonium 238 is inhaled, the localized radiation (the radiation to nearby cells) can cause lung cancer and other illnesses. Plutonium Dioxide in the environment will cause death, illness, and genetic mutations for centuries to all life forms.

Twelve anomalies are annotated in this image. A Javascript enabled browser is required to read the annotations. Additional anomalies will be identified over the next few days. http://www.anomalous-images.com/mgs/newcity.html TWO HUGE PLANETS FOUND DRIFTING ALONE IN SPACE by John Fleck; Staff Writer; Albuquerque Journal; 6-1-99 CHICAGO -- Scientists using a New Mexico telescope have discovered two overgrown planets drifting alone in empty space -- the first such objects ever found. More massive than Jupiter but too small to burn like our sun, the planet-like orbs represent a new type of extremely faint space object that scientists say may be as common as the stars in our galactic neighborhood. Their discovery demonstrates the power of the New Mexico-based Sloan Digital Sky Survey, said Johns Hopkins University astronomer David Golimowski. Golimowski and Princeton University astronomer Xiaohui Fan announced the discovery of the new objects, called "methane dwarfs," during this week's meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Each is "too small to be a star but probably too large to be called a planet," Fan said. But while Jupiter and other similar objects have been found orbiting stars, Fan's methane dwarf was all by itself in empty space. Soon after Fan's discovery in early spring, Golimowski found a second methane dwarf in data collected by the Sloan telescope. Follow-up observations with telescopes in New Mexico and Hawaii showed methane in their atmospheres, as in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The scientists have only a rough idea of the objects' size but estimate they're 10 to 70 times the mass of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. That's at most 7 percent the size of our sun. BEHAVIOR OF SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE STAR PUZZLING ASTRONOMERS CHICAGO (AP) - One of the most famous stars in the southern night sky, Eta Carinae, has suddenly doubled in brightness. Astronomers call the behavior "puzzling'' but suspect the star may be undergoing a massive eruption, much as it did more than 150 years ago. Amateur and professional astronomers throughout the Southern Hemisphere have noticed that Eta Carinae is becoming more luminous. Instruments focused on the star suggest its energy output has doubled or tripled in the last year and a half. What puzzles astronomers is that Eta Carinae was not supposed to do this. "Occasionally something happens in astronomy that is so bewildering that it makes astronomers nervous,'' said Kris Davidson, a University of Minnesota astrophysicist. "This is weird. We don't understand.'' The rest of this article: http://www.tampabayonline.net/news/news101o.htm Have a paranormal Monday and of CAUS...watch the skies! Peter A.
