Eric Julien was not completely wrong!
Wednesday morning, a great occurance took place to prove Eric had something in his sights! If this meteorite had hit the ocean, it would have caused massive devastation across the coastlines of several countries!
From today's news (query meteorite on google news) here is the article:
Record meteorite hit Norway
As Wednesday morning dawned, northern Norway was hit with an impact comparable to the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima.
http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1346411.ece
At around 2:05 a.m. on Wednesday, residents of the northern part of Troms and the western areas of Finnmark could clearly see a ball of fire taking several seconds to travel across the sky.
A few minutes later an impact could be heard and geophysics and seismology research foundation NORSAR registered a powerful sound and seismic disturbances at 02:13.25 a.m. at their station in Karasjok.
Farmer Peter Bruvold was out on his farm in Lyngseidet with a camera because his mare Virika was about to foal for the first time.
"I saw a brilliant flash of light in the sky, and this became a light with a tail of smoke," Bruvold told Aftenposten.no. He photographed the object and then continued to tend to his animals when he heard an enormous crash.
"I heard the bang seven minutes later. It sounded like when you set off a solid charge of dynamite a kilometer (0.62 miles) away," Bruvold said.
Astronomers were excited by the news.
"There were ground tremors, a house shook and a curtain was blown into the house," Norway's best known astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard told Aftenposten.no.
Røed Ødegaard said the meteorite was visible to an area of several hundred kilometers despite the brightness of the midnight sunlit summer sky. The meteorite hit a mountainside in Reisadalen in North Troms.
"This is simply exceptional. I cannot imagine that we have had such a powerful meteorite impact in Norway in modern times. If the meteorite was as large as it seems to have been, we can compare it to the Hiroshima bomb. Of course the meteorite is not radioactive, but in explosive force we may be able to compare it to the (atomic) bomb," Røed Ødegaard said.
The astronomer believes the meteorite was a giant rock and probably the largest known to have struck Norway.
"The record was the Alta meteorite that landed in 1904. That one was 90 kilos (198 lbs) but we think the meteorite that landed Wednesday was considerably larger," Røed Ødegaard said, and urged members of the public who saw the object or may have found remnants to contact the Institute of Astrophysics.
Peter Bruvold witnessed the meteorite streaking across the night sky.

Eric was not wrong about about anything...the nuke test (and the nuke attack in the Middle-East) was CANCELLED ON MAY 25TH ~ THE CONDITION that needed to be met to hold off a more serious impact/tsunami.
Thanks for the thought, though.

Well I'm pretty impressed.
Last Saturday, June 3rd I was very disturbed all morning. I could not sleep and felt as though something just was not right. Something was going to happen very soon. Being I am clairvoyant - I sensed for days the "imbalance". I also visit, http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ and watch / listen to the EGG Project to sometimes keep myself in "check" to help tell the difference between what is might be a personal imbalance of energy from global energy. Sure enough the EGG was reacting and I knew for sure something big was going to happen soon - however, I don't feel as though it's over. We're going to be hearing more about many more near earth objects and impacts.
I personally do not rely on US News alone - I check internationally for my news sources. |

I'm sorry, I thought you only "make observations"? At what point did you observe definite plans for a "nuke attack" in the middle east?
I'll take this opportunity to preempt the almost certain response ("but but but...divine strake!").
Divine Strake is no more evidence of an imminent nuclear strike than the Bikini Atoll tests were. Who did we nuke after those? Oh, wait - no one. It's analogous to saying that a man who goes to the store and buys a gun is planning to kill someone. It's a straight up logical fallacy.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the main thing that would have been different if this thing had hit the ocean is that, most likely, no one would have even noticed it.

But, dear Chickie, yesterday was not May 25th; and more importantly, there was no tsunami. Yes, the fragment could have did the ocean - but the fact is that it didn't.
I am not pointing out these facts to annoy you or Eric or anybody. As a matter of fact, I have absolutely no grievances regarding Eric Julien. (I never believed it would happen anyway.) What I am trying to say is that something that *could* have happened - and not even on the date predicted - is a long way from being any kind of fulfillment, not even a partial one, of the "prophecy".
BTW: there is an asteroid, cca 200-900 metres big, heading for a close enounter with Earth. On July 3rd it will (let's hope so) "miss" by a mere 1.1 AU.
I wrote about it on this forum, including a link, in late May; but I don't think my message was ever posted. Here's the link again:

N.B. I am not posting this (again) to spread panic. I simply find it interesting (from a purely astronomical point of view .

| Please show me how this meteorite, had it struck the ocean, would have created the 200-foot high tsunami that Julien claimed would happen on May 25, 2006. |

Initial reports seem to be vastly overstated. A blast that was equivalant to that in Heroshima would have done a lot more than blown a few windows in and would have done more damage to the surounding area. Apart from a rock slide at the site there is no surrounding damage.
Without acuract measurements of size or mass of this object making a determination of what it would have done if it hit the water are hard to say. Still such a relitively small object hitting the ocean even at velocity would not cause a tsunami. It just does not displace a large enough volume of water.

| I thought Eric said 50 million would die. I havent seen that yet, so in my opinion, he failed on that. And no matter how he says, I dont see this as the "complete success" because, after all, there was no meteor impact on atlantic with 50 million dead+huge waves. Ok, one meteor hit norway, but that was NOT what Eric was seeing, was it? |
