Another Expert Agrees With Dark Comet Theory

February 21, 2013 – 11:31 am | No Comment

Astronomer David Asher (from Armagh University) has agreed with Bill Napier and Janaki Wickramasinghe (Cardiff University) that “dark comets” are real and dangerous.
The following quotes are from a paper by Napier and Asher published in Astronomy & Geophysics.

We know that about one bright comet (of absolute magnitude as bright as 7, comparable to Halley’s Comet) arrives in the visibility zone (perihelion q<5AU, say) each year from the Oort cloud. It seems to be securely established that ~1–2% of these are captured into Halleytype (HT) orbits. The dynamical lifetime of a body in such an orbit can be estimated, from which the expected number of HT comets is perhaps ~3000. The actual number of active HT comets is ~25. This discrepancy of at least two powers of 10 in the expected impact rate from comets as deduced from this theoretical argument on the one hand, and observations on the other, is …

German Schoolboy Hit By Meteorite & Lives!

The size of a pea, by the time it reached him, it still managed to leave a 5cm scar on the hand of Gerrit Blank, and a 30cm-wide crater in the pavement.

While this is the sort of “happy story” that you sometimes get at the end of news bulletins, it is only so due to the fact he lived, and the rarity of the situation. If a town/city is ever struck my a large meteorite, it will be a tragedy.

In recorded history he seems to be the person who has come off best from such a cosmic collision. According to Wikipedia:

The only other human confirmed to be struck and injured by a meteor was 31 year old Ann Hodges, of Sylacauga, Alabama. She was struck while asleep in bed on November 30, 1954, after the meteorite punched through the roof of her home, smashed a wooden cabinet, and then bounced off the floor to struck her in the hand and hip. The meteorite, which weighed about eight and a half pounds, caused extensive bruising.
