Starship Asterisk*

According to this article, there was a high activity of UFO's in the area three weeks before things happened and sightings are still being reported. Make your own judgements about it.

Preposterous...

Geckzilla, you sure do have a natural ability to express so much by saying so little.

I could also say I think it's disgraceful to take a natural disaster which has placed so many people in such a dire situation for one's personal agenda such as furthering UFO nonsense. It's a foolish joke and it's right on par with the people who still bear a grudge against Japan for Pearl Harbor and insist that it's some kind of divine retribution. You would think that the hubris some people manage to display would stop surprising me at one point but somehow humanity keeps managing to kick it up a notch.

I wouldn't have bothered to post this, except for the fact that it is the Japanese themselves that are reporting all the UFO activity and since they have been seeing all these 'strange' things, are they themselves thinking there is a connection between what they are seeing and what has happened?

Apparently the Japanese are not used to seeing strange things, until just recently, so it would seem rather 'normal' for them to link the two together.
As for me, i don't know one way or another. I'm not in any position to investigate the matter.

It seems to me that there are a number of increased sightings of atmospheric events that tend to precede large earthquakes.
Japan, sees UFO's, 3 weeks later, bam
China, sees UFO's, several weeks later, bam

I am curious though as to where the next will fall
Jan 13 2010 Haiti
3850 miles south along the pacific rim
Feb 27 2010 Bio-Bio Chili
5480 miles west along the pacific rim
Feb 22 2011 Christchurch NZ
5957 miles north along the pacific rim
March 11 2011 Sendai, Honshu, Japan

As the crow flies distances

5090 miles NE along the pacific rim Diablo Canyon Nuclear power plant
5280 miles NE along the pacific rim Los Angeles Ca
5360 miles NE along the pacific rim San Diego Ca
6000 miles away along the eastern side of the pacific rim
(March 12 2011 5.1 & 5.3 in the gulf of Ca near Cabo)

I think the UFO explanation has as much validity as astrologer Richard Nolle's Supermoon theory. That is to say, None.

It's like there's been a murder, the victim there with a gunshot wound to the head, and a man standing over him with the firearm in hand... but then a bunch of people decide to blame a cat that happened to be walking by as it happened.

To be fair, Richard Nolle's SuperMoon theory falls more under the Heading "I told you so!"

On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet.

Richard Nolle, a noted astrologer who runs the website astropro.com, has famously termed the upcoming full moon at lunar perigee (the closest approach during its orbit) an "extreme supermoon."

When the moon goes super-extreme, Nolle says, chaos will ensue: Huge storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural disasters can be expected to wreak havoc on Earth. (It should be noted that astrology is not a real science, but merely makes connections between astronomical and mystical events.)

To be fair, the Moon was still 396,553 kilometers away when the earthquake struck on March 11, 2011 (05:26 UTC).

"On top of that, it will be full." What, she thinks this makes the moon extra heavy or something? "It should be noted that astrology is not a real science, but merely makes connections between astronomical and mystical events." So now an earthquake is a "mystical event"?

UFOs, astrology.... what next, crystals? Is someone going to suggest sacrificing a goat? Maybe there's just one seal to go; hope everyone likes music for brass. I don't know whether to listen to Purcell or Schmidt.

People believe what they want to believe.. Now, has anybody seen Superman lately??

I think Superman and Green Lantern flew off on a mission awhile ago. Or they went to Milliways for a while. I'm not sure which. Maybe both
