There are some spooky things about the name....ELE = Extinction Level Event, and ELEvin NINe, which is the date 9/11 (11/9/11 in international notation)...the date happens to be the projected perihelion of the comet. That is getting the "End Times" people excited. More interesting, however, is that this is the only hyperbolic comet in recorded history to approach us from less than 2% angle to our solar system's ecliptic plane. It acts like it's a member of our solar system, yet may not be orbiting our sun. Also usual is that it will pass between the sun and earth, which means we will float almost directly through the plasma tail in September (and later through the debris tail) No one know how big the comet is yet.

I am not endorsing this AT ALL, but Elenin has become the center of an entertaining conspiracy hoax (I won't even give it the status of a conspiracy "theory") eleninandbankers.webs.com Conspiracy aside, I still think there might be something unusual about this comet that might produce some surprising effects in the September/October timeframe. If we get another big earthquake or CME during the next alignment, we can expect the hysteria to really take off. Here's some background on the electric universe theory of comets: thunderbolts.info According to the electric universe theory, the electric charge on a comet that has been out of the solar system for thousands of years is MASSIVE relative to its size. Is it possible the close fly-by of Elenin to the sun will evoke a reaction, like a static discharge when you touch someone after scooting around on the carpet? If this reaction takes the form of a CME blast from the sun, just when Earth is in the line of fire, it could knock out our power grid for months.
