**At present, there are two photon belts that are approaching our planet. The first 
photon belt was emitted from the nova explosion also known as 1987A. The neutron 
star that resulted from this nova is called Avalus.
SN1987A? Neutron star? This is my hypothetical model that's been on the net for 
more than a year now! It's at: http://www.concentric.net/~adachi/prophecy/cwn2.html#IV
Until now, as far as I know, no one was mentioning SN1987 or a neutron star in 
relation to the so-called "photon belt" other than me . . .what does this mean? 
Hmmm interesting.

<< Who-is-lying and who-said-what and all the other buzz and commotion down on 
this surface is a distraction from whatever is really going on up there in space. 
It's not the central seminal thing, just a buzz that will blow over, no matter 
how seriously the participants take it right now. So I just sort of sit back and 
watch...We'll find out soon what the deal is - April is right around the corner 
for starters. >>
I don't totally understand what the blue blazes is going on with Bebopp. But as 
you know I've been tracking this quiz for two years now (in response to poor 
Kento's internal alarm).
Shortly after my bells rang this came in which got me really zooming ... er ... 
like a comet:
**Subj: Truth about Hale-Bopp...??? Date: Sun, Aug 20, 1995 4:13 AM EST
From: Chris.Terraneau%f201.n330.z1@fidonet.org (Chris Terraneau)
I work at an institution that studies data gathered from a number of "outward 
looking" satellites. We first saw Hale-Bopp on July 3rd. We have determined 
that it has made a number of course corrections since that time.
Once we confirmed the data that first suggested these corrections, government 
"spooks" from some unidentified agency seized the data, and our satellite links 
were shut down "for maintenance." Never before have we lost all of our links at 
once. Our name for the "comet" was Contact 070795B. Use that name when asking 
questions and see the result you get.**
Ultimately the Shramek and Japan Natl Observatory Companion photos came in which 
coincided with a bunch of speculation, channelings and overheated visions from 
 Brown to Sheldon Nidle and poor insignificant Kento too. Vision interpretations
 now range from the return of Jesus O'Christ, to a warship full of Reptillians to 
the return of the City of Enoch or the Lost Ten tribes or starship, Atlantis.
To make the poop fling faster we have this photon belt thingy too. Nidle's gang, 
the Ground Crew Project, even has updates indicating that BOTH photon belts are 
NOW in place and even a picture of Sir Photon at:

To make matters squirm more NASA admits to an durned weird multiple gamma burst:
** By MATT CRENSON Science Editor The Associated Press
(Dec. 17) - A space-based observatory has detected a series of powerful energy 
bursts that make one of astronomy's deepest mysteries even more baffling, NASA 
scientists said Tuesday.
In October, the Compton gamma ray observatory saw four bursts of gamma ray energy
 emanating from a single spot in the sky. Although the satellite has seen 1,700 
similar bursts in more than five years of operation, this is the first time it 
has ever seen more than one flash coming from the same place.**
How powerful is this gamma burst? The energy is measurable in joules, immense,
 enough to levitate a small dog say the boys in sci.astro Newsgroup (several 
weeks ago, now what did I do with that stupid file?)
Oh, here it be:
**... and eight above 10^20 electronvolts. Imagine a subatomic particle that has 
an energy that can be  measured in *Joules*. Loosely speaking, one that has the 
energy to lift a small dog onto a table. Wow.   The equivalent given in the article 
was that it had the same energy as a tennis ball going at 300 kph!
Further, in a race with a photon across the galaxy, the proton would lose by 0.5 cm!!!!!
Warren Taylor, Sydney**
Now some of our communication satellites are going poof. What about Hubble--has it 
been blinded as well? No BeBopp images since 1995? I wonder why.
My ventures into the sci.astro newsgroup have been scary, real SCARY! As soon as 
I mentioned the Companion I thought I was gonna get creamed! The mainstream astronomers 
are presently, in Kento's opinion, going wacko. Some of their most cuddly theories are 
hanging by a thread as a result of Hubble deep space probes and quantum theory, not to 
mention probability waves.
So now Kento doesn't trust credentialed astronomers INCLUDING the Hawaii astronomers
that debunked Courtney on the recent Art Bell shootout-show. Has anyone checked out 
Mr. Hawaii star guy yet? Nope, he's got credentials. Pooh on credentials says me. 
I want truth, not PhDs.
And last but not least Kento on one of his sleepless nights started playing with 
the Companion photos originally published by the Japan National Observatory. 
The blamed thing is, get this, a SQUARE . . . er . . . a cube . . . er a hypercube. 
Gads, double EGADS,
Kento
P.S. Now I'm just getting info that something is going on with our sun. SAVE ME!

This is Jason at Center of Attention.  I certainly respect Doug Parish's
comments regarding some of the lunatic reactions to Hale-Bopp.  I've
written about it, I've investigated the "companion" or other stories,
and am probably as confused as anyone else.  However, Doug seemed to be
pointing to a reality that has not been proven, only intimated by some,
that is, there probably isn't anything very special about Hale-Bopp.  I
must disagree, because I know better.

Never has government agencies and officials got so involved with any of
the so-called lunatic fringe subjects that pass thru skywatch as the
Hale-Bopp stories.  They ignore UFO landings, aliens sighted,
conversations with aliens, mysterious objects near air bases, yet nearly
all the pictures, all the reports, and especially anything to do with
the companion object didn't get even one day of press before people were
coming out of the wood-work claiming to have scientific evidence to the
contrary.  Why is that?  The Art Bell photo hoax was much more than some
crackpot trying to have fun. It was intended, (and succeeded) in
confusing the issue to the point that anybody who brings up mysteries of
Hale-Bopp or its possible companion causes eyes to roll, and nobody
wants to hear it anymore.  Have you noticed that?  Most of us are
convinced that there never was a companion object--end of subject, and
doubt there's anything peculiar about he comet-- end of subject.

I'm not so sure.  I don't have any answers but I sure am confused.  If
you believe all that, then you must believe that Chuck Shramek took
hundreds of photos with faulty equipment, or he hoaxed the whole thing. 
Why don't I think Chuck was hoaxing us?  Because I've got other
information that really confuses the issue.  I've been contacted by
someone, (I'm not going to reveal the sources) that works with scientist
at several different university observatories that claim HB has more
secrets being kept than we've even thought of.  They claim to know that
there is an object, no necessarily a companion to HB, but it is huge, it
is in our solar system, and it is cloaked to normal observation.  They
also claim that they and others have been pressured to keep quite about
it and threatened if they don't.  Yet, I also have other contacts that
are in the know and they say there is nothing to it.  I don't know what
to believe, except since there is so much confusion, it makes me
suspicious that there is something going on and "they" want us to shut
up about it.  If anyone out there still has more revelations about
Hale-Bopp, I'm willing to listen, even if everyone else thinks it is
dead issue.

1) HB was discovered 20 months from perihelion. Most comets are
discovered a month or two out. It's rare for them to be found 3 or 4
months out. Kohoutek blew minds in 1973 because it was found 7 months
out -- the farthest out ever. Astronomers still can not explain why HB
was even visible that far out - well beyond Jupiter. Furthermore, HB was
later discovered on an Australian observatory sky survey photo in 1993 -
40 months out! 2) HB's orbit is almost exactly 90 degrees inclined to
earth. (89.4 something - I say something because it keeps changing
slightly which is also very weird.) 3) HB approached, and was discovered
in Sagittarius. It was there for several years, in a spiral pattern very
neatly staying in the 30 degree boundaries of Sagittarius. Sitchen said
the 12th planet would come out of Sagittarius. 4) HB also has the same
orbital period as the 12th planet - 36 hundred years. 5) As HB leaves
the area of the earth this summer, it will track across the
constellation Orion - above and parallel to the three belt stars in
Orion. 6) After passing through Orion, HB will disappear into the region
of the sky called the Duat by ancient Egyptians. It's between Orion and
Leo. They believed this is where the souls of the dead should try to get
to. 7) As HB is at its closest to the earth on March 22, 1997, it's
almost precisely over the north pole of the sun. 8) HB will go over the
north pole of the sun. Hyakutake passed directly over the north pole of
the earth at an extremely close 9 million miles. Looking at a scale
model of the solar system, this is phenomenal chance happening. Like two
bullets shot from 100 feet hitting two flies a foot apart and knocking
off the left wing of both. 9) Speaking of Hyakutake, it emitted a
tremendous amount of X-rays as it passed the earth. They didn't expect
any X-rays, much less the abundance they measured. 10) HB's perihelion
(closest to the sun) is April 1, 1997. Hyakutake was May 1, 1996. 11)
Either HB or Hyakutake alone would have been the brightest comets in a
decade or more. 12) As HB is reaches its perihelion it also is right at
the line crossing the 0 degree longitude of the celestial map of the
earth. (That vertical line where the sun crosses as spring begins). Its
also at its highest point in the sky from the earth's celestial equator
AND is 45 degrees up from the celestial equator. 13) We've seen three
major comet events since 94. July 20th 1994 saw the biggest chunk of
Shoemaker Levy 9 hit Jupiter - exactly 25 years to the day after the
Apollo moon landing! Estimates vary on how often comets hit Jupiter -
anywhere from every 10k to 100k years. 14) HB crosses the celestial
equator Dec. 5th. Richard Hoagland says this date is a significant
alignment of Orion and will be the date when a secret pyramid chamber is
opened. (I don't know what the Orion alignment is). (the other crossing
of HB back across the celestial equator is June 27 1996 - I don't know
if this means anything, but maybe somebody else does) 15) HB's "eyes"
were seen July 23, 1996 - a year to the day after it was discovered. If
you want my far out interpretation of this, it was a message from those
who control the comet. The message, "we know when you first saw us, we
see you.) 16) About every two months, they update the ephemeris of HB -
it's predicted course. Even Brian Marsden of Harvard concedes there must
be "non-gravitational" forces at work to alter HB's orbit. There have
been enough observations of HB by now to calculate within feet where it
will wind up, but something else is moving it. The last orbital update
put it about 13 hundred miles closer to the sun than the previous
calculations two months earlier. Not significant when compared to the
diameter of the sun at nearly 1 million miles, but too much of a change
to dismiss to any errors in calculations or observation. 17) HB was seen
in October of 1995 by the Hubble throwing off a huge chunk - NASA's
explanation. There were no thermal or gravitational forces strong enough
way out there to cause this. (My own view is that the "chunk" was
actually another body that HB is orbiting). Perhaps this is why NASA cut
off the pictures from Hubble after this. About May, the flow of good
pictures from big scopes also ceased. 18) The Gallileo space probe was
very close to HB when it was out near Jupiter this past summer. Gallileo
was used to photograph asteroids on its way out. NASA surely used it to
image HB, although no pictures were ever released. 19) HB has an
absolute magnitude of -1.7 -- very very bright. The absolute magnitude
is how bright the comet would be if it were 1 au from the sun, and 1 au
from the earth. The average brightness for a comet is 7. Only two this
century have had absolute brightness' between 4 and 5. Absolute
brightness -1.7 is really really phenomenal! 20) HB occulted the moon
(the moon passed in front of it) this has never happened in comet
history. 21) HB occulted (flew in front of) a star. This gave
astronomers a chance to determine its exact size. Of the 7 teams that
went out to observe this, 6 had weather or equipment problems. The
results from the one remaining team were dismissed because HB made the
star dim out for 10 seconds. They said the results couldn't be trusted
because a 10 second dip in light would mean the comet was really huge
(no I haven't worked out the size of HB based on this result) 22) HB
will be bright in the sky in Mongolia during a solar eclipse. This has
never happened with any comet. 23) HB passes very close to a number of
often photographed deep sky objects. A magnificent sky show. Near its
brightest, it will pass very close to the famous Andromeda galaxy,
assuring thousands of photos will be taken and nobody will miss it. 24)
Somebody using comets is trying to communicate with the people of earth
smart enough to see the signs. I think its very clever. Not too "showy"
like a huge landing of a space ship which might freak some people out -
but signs there for people smart enough to figure them out. Add to all
of the above the fact that JPL has been less than current with good and
recent pictures. For example, after the latest controversy on the
"thing" near HB, they hurriedly posted pictures from the observatory in
Slovenia - current but not very good pictures.
