The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Environment Center has issued an Official Space Weather Advisory stating that two very intense centers of activity have emerged on the sun. One of them, Sunspot 484, has grown into one of the biggest sunspots in years, and it’s now about the size of the planet Jupiter. It may eventually become bigger than the largest one ever recorded, which took place on April 2, 2001.

Region 484 has developed with unusual speed. The region produced an X-Class solar flare on October 19, but earthly effects were minimal because the eruption was not pointing in our direction. However, any eruption occurring during the next week will be pointing directly or nearly directly toward Earth and will affect us.

News is leaking out of Iraq that U.S. soldiers are worried about the hostile attacks on them, as well as the mysterious diseases that are affecting them there. Despite this, upbeat letters supposedly written by local soldiers have started appearing in hometown newspapers across the U.S.?and they’re all exactly the same.

An X-Class solar flare erupted today from a sunspot that has grown remarkably fast from a small active region to a much larger one. Yesterday, the spot was barely visible. Now it is seven times the diameter of the earth. At present sunspot 484 is near the sun’s northeastern limb and is not pointed directly toward earth. However, this active region is moving into position where it could direct solar flares and coronal mass ejections toward earth, assuming that it’s activity level remains high.

Visit Spaceweather.com to view movies of the active region, and to get safe solarobserving tips, and updates. NEVER look at the sun without observing solar observation safety procedures.

And NEVER judge UFO abductees until you’ve heard their stories.

The Spanish Flu killed 20-40 million people in 1918. Now U.S. scientists have isolated several genes of this lethal flu virus and introduced them into modern flu strains. This newly-engineered virus killed the mice it was given to, while current flu viruses had little effect on them. If the Spanish Flu is recreated, it can be abused, just as anthrax was when it was sent through the mail.
