Crop Circle Secrets: If you are looking for a modern day miracle, you might find it here! If after reading ten percent of the material contained within these pages you are still not convinced that there is something heavy duty going with these crop circles popping up all over, I don't think anything will convince you! Even if you are not real interested in how the crop circles form, this is still a great example of a well laid out page. It loads pretty fast, and has an impressive array of amazing crop circle pictures to look at. Once you see the formations, I believe you will want to know who is making them.

Don't worry about the Nukes!

I believe if anything is going to cause global devastation it will be a comet or asteroid. You are more likely to be hit by an asteroid or comet than you are are of winning a lottery.(possible exaggeration.) What if we found a comet or asteroid on an impact course with us, due to arrive 20 years from now? It would be trouble! It would take years to develope a plan to move the object. Years of spaceflight would be required to rendevous with it, and then we would have to hope that what ever the idea was, worked, because there wouldn't be time for a plan 'B'!

Some points to ponder...
Many prophets have foretold of the earth ending in fire, flood, and earthquakes. All of which can be associated with the impact of a large asteroid or comet. The Mayan calander ends on Dec 22, 2012. Interpretations of their writings suggest that the earth will also end in fire and flood. Astrologers and astronomers have determined a very rare alignment of the planets to occur in Sep. of 1999. This alignment is called 'The Grand Cross.' I believe that this planetary alignment will most certainly change the orbits of some (perhaps thousands) of smaller objects in the solar system. Possibly creating a rain of impacts on all the inner planets. Of course all of this would take time to run its coarse. Perhaps 13 years... Which puts us right into the latter part of the year 2012. (pure speculation.) I guess I missed the mark on that one! But you never know... There could still be one on its way!

Are NEO's really so BAD?
The following links contain information about how valueable NEO's could be. Also some ideas dealing with how people intend to collect the riches found in NEO's.

All the links that I had here went bad. If anyone has seen any good NEO pages, please let me know, Thanks!

If we all stopped building weapons and began using the solar sytem for our resources, it wouldn't be long before we had a permanent presence in space. At that point even if a asteroid slammed into earth, the human race would continue to flurish... Look out universe. I think the odds are against us! I think life will go on. Perhaps just, without humans. (Just my opinion) :-)
