Small Comets

Flick your fingers… now flick them again…. in that short space of time a ‘small' house-sized, water-bearing comet travelling at 25,000 mph, one every three seconds, has just disintegrated in Earth's upper atmosphere. Origin… unknown…. they shouldn't exist this close to the sun, but they do, read here how scientist Louis Frank was ostracized for discovering them.

Thank God Lewis Frank had the courage and integrity to continue his research!

Where do the small comets come from?

Louis Frank….

“The small comets do not come from the Oort cloud located far beyond the orbits of the planets, but from an inner belt of cometary material beginning just beyond the orbit of Neptune . To explain the constant bombardment of the Earth by small comets, a large, dark, as-yet-undiscovered planet must be regularly passing through the outer part of this comet belt where the small comets are thought to be located. The eccentric orbit of this dark planet is speculated to cross the comet belt once every 26 million years or so, sending swarms of small comets streaming into the inner solar system and toward the Earth itself.”

As the so-called Oort cloud has never actually been seen and is purely hypothetical, I look for answers much closer to home, and the most obvious culprit for depositing water (& NEAs & comets for that matter) around the inner solar system has to be a body that once held vast oceans of water – MARS!

Small Comets are the remnants of the oceans that once flowed across Mars. They were thrown out into space as recently as only 4,000 years ago as Mars along with Venus, Mercury and the Moon entered into repeated encounters with Earth in the guise of the numerous god-kings and queens of ancient times.
