I was watching a Discovery show last night and decided to look up something that I had seen (black holes on earth??), when the rabbit-hole of the internet led me to the new Elenin conspiracy. For those, like myself, who haven't heard much on it, Elenin is a comet headed our way and is a due to hit the closest point to the sun Sept 10th and then pass between the sun and earth in October. It's a long period comet, which basically means that it's been out in deep space for thousands of years and will pass by us and disappear, unlike periodical comets which travel through every few hundred years. This comet has never been recorded in human history. So, the conspiracies: First is the name. Leonid Elenin is credited with discovering the comet. Conspiracists say he doesn't exist and that it's a code name. Leonid is also coincidentally the name of a meteor shower, and they claim Elenin is actually code for ELE (extinction level event), with 'nin' possibly meaning several things- Near impact Notable; nine, as in "extinction level event nine" (nine meaning september); or that 'nin' is the Japenese word for person. Back to Leonid, one person mentioned that it's like a person named Chicago Fire discovering a Chigaco fire. To reiterate, Leonid Elenin could mean "Meteor Shower, Extinction Level Event, Near Impact Notable". Just to add another point to this, Elenin is not travelling alone. There is also comet Honda and comet Garroun. (sp?) Second is exactly how Elenin would be an ELE. There's the idea that since this is a long period comet, the tail has had thousands of years to pick up and develop ions and debris that will interfere with the suns magnetics when they meet. This will send out massive solar flares. Then, as it passes the sun, the tail will be pointing straight at us, causing debris and electricity to pummel the earth and cause a pole reversal. Also, that the gravitiational pull of the comet will affect us. Conspiracists claim that we can already see the effects of Elenin- that the Japan earthquake happened when the comet, earth and sun were aligned. That the Colorado and Virginia earthquakes were a result of the comet, as was hurrican Irene. They say it'll only get worse at it draws closer. The third part of the conspiracy is that the world leaders have all been aware of this for some time. Hence the city below Denver airport, why FEMA is upping it's MRE storage, why the global community is letting the economy lapse, and why the shuttle program has been cancelled. They also claim that it's been barely reported to stave off a panic, and that any reports that tell us not to panic are because we should be panicking. (I guess like the line in 2012?) Anyway, so then I got to the part where they picked apart Deep Impact for clues (Comet was named Elle (ELE)! It was discovered by someone named Leo!) and they lost me. (I'll admit it, the name thing was a little weird and kept me reading.) Then it got even worse with the theories that Elenin was cloaking Planet X, alien space ships, or that it was a remote controlled comet to instill fear in mankind and divert us from real issues. BTW, just summarizing what I read and didn't fact-check or anything so don't shoot the messenger.

Quick, Strawberry, write a script and sell it to Roland Emerich for, like, $2M!
I'm totally going to enjoy the Extinction Level Event while listening to Nine Inch Nails.

Oh, that reminds me! A few months back I read about a book that claims the Roswell crash was actually a remote controlled plane from Russia full of mutant children. It was supposed to scare the US and cause us to. self- destruct.
Heh.

Yeah, right, they're just saying that to avoid panic, dontcha know.
Mutant Russian Children sounds like a good name for a band.

There is a city below the Denver airport? I had no idea.
