Asteroid is right on Time @3.33am

NEWS RELEASE: 2008-012 Jan. 24, 2008

Asteroid to Make Rare Close Flyby of Earth January 29

Scientists are monitoring the orbit of asteroid 2007 TU24. The asteroid, believed to be between 150 meters (500 feet) and 610 meters (2,000 feet) in size, is expected to fly past Earth on Jan. 29, with its closest distance being about 537,500 kilometers (334,000 miles) at 12:33 a.m. Pacific time (3:33 a.m.
Eastern time). It should be observable that night by amateur astronomers with modest-sized telescopes.

Asteroid 2007 TU24 was discovered by the NASA-sponsored Catalina Sky Survey on Oct. 11, 2007.
Scientists at NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., have determined that there is no possibility of an impact with Earth in the foreseeable future.

"This will be the closest approach by a known asteroid of this size or larger until 2027," said Don Yeomans, manager of the Near Earth Object Program Office at JPL. "As its closest approach is about one-and-a-half times the distance of Earth to the moon, there is no reason for concern. On the contrary, Mother Nature is providing us an excellent opportunity to perform scientific observations."

Asteroid 2007 TU24 will reach an approximate apparent magnitude 10.3 on Jan. 29-30 before quickly becoming fainter as it moves farther from Earth. On that night, the asteroid will be observable in dark and clear skies through amateur telescopes with apertures of at least 7.6 centimeters (3 inches). An object with a magnitude of 10.3 is about 50 times fainter than an object just visible to the naked eye in a clear, dark sky.

NASA detects and tracks asteroids and comets passing close to Earth. The Near Earth Object Observation Program, commonly called "Spaceguard," discovers, characterizes and computes trajectories for these objects to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet.

American Dragon...Disney Mind Control


Here are the lyrics to something I happened upon the other day while flicking about.
It was on Disney Channel on satellite TV and is a show for Kid's called American Dragon. I caught it from the start of the song it was the dragon reference that grabbed my attention. You see i was listening to the lyrics and could have sworn I heard the child singer say "American Dragon he's the Next GrandMASTER" I was shocked by this and turned the channel off so the child in the room couldn't watch it.

I then listened to Todd's interview (well done by the way) today and it popped back into my mind. If you look below you will see the actual lyrics. It would seem that I misheard as the line is "his skills are getting faster with grandpa the master".

But I am convinced that's not what was said at the time and it would appear that others have had the same feeling except about different lyrics in the song. If you follow this link and I urge you to do so you will see what i mean.

He's young and fast, he's the chosen one

Dragon teeth, dragon tail, Burnin' dragon fire
A real live wire

"Oh, oh, oh, woah!"

(Break down with the Dragon)

His skills are getting faster with Grandpa the master (I heard "he's the next Grandmaster")
His destiny will walk up streets

Todd's recent interview on Kentroversy http://kentroversypapers.net/


One last thought...The main character is called Jake LONG...what might that be reference to if used as part of an adult joke.
