Comet Atlas, burning far brighter than expected!

Comet Atlas could become brighter than Sirius in the night sky for the northern hemisphere as it approaches the Sun. The comet is baffling observers because of how it has been acting....
Space.com

ATLAS easily visible in a small telescope or a pair of good binoculars, although quite frankly nothing really to write home about.

Except, since its discovery, the comet has been brightening at an almost unprecedented speed. As of March 17, ATLAS was already magnitude +8.5, over 600 times brighter than forecast.

John Bortle, who has observed hundreds of comets and is a well-known expert in the field, got his first look at Comet ATLAS through 15 x 70 binoculars on Sunday night (March 15). And he's stumped, he wrote. "For the first time in many years I am left at a bit of a loss as to what honestly worthy advice I can offer would-be observers. I really don't know quite what to make of this object." 

Now I love a good doomsday conspiracy as much as the next guy but current events are getting a bit to close to the mark, we have plague and a great fire in the sky coming, how many prophecies match up to these times? Any nostradamus quatrains looking eerily prophetic to the present?
Let us know.

(yawn)

Let me know when it enters our atmosphere. Until then it's a non-starter.

Comet ATLAS continues to brighten much faster than expected,' Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab in Washington DC told SpaceWeatherArchive. 

'Some predictions for its peak brightness now border on the absurd.'    

It has seen a 4,000-fold increase in brightness since it was first discovered and could be visible to the naked eye as early as April.

Bit of word play, consider the topic.

Sarc brother! I loved the word play very clever.

In your honor

Its brightness has nothing to do with the possibility of it actually hitting the earth.

THAT being said, if it promised to hit the earth I'd vote for it.

We need a good ELE about right now.

If it's going to do it, our state is a mitten - what better place to "catch" it?

Nibiru is good and there are many similar check this Hopi Indian one

Do you remember back in 1997, the Hopi Elders appeared with Dr. Robert Ghost Wolf on Art Bells Coast to Coast show, they spoke to millions of wary listeners around the world as they. predicted. the coming of The Blue Star Kachina and that the Purifier, the Red Star Kachina would follow shortly after the twins had (Hale-bopp) passed from our heavens.

the Blue Star Kachina would physically appear in our heavens which would mean that we were in the end times

return the Earth to its natural rotation which is counter clock wise.

“This fact is evidenced in many petraglyphs that speak of the Zodiac, and within the Mayan and Egyptian pyramids. The rotation of the Earth has been manipulated by not so benevolent Star beings .

Fingers crossed this one hits so we can take possession of this planet.

Humans have had their time.

What if it reversed the poles by its gravitational pull, although that's probably impossible but the comet has already been baffling experts so you never know.

Atlas is also a name for one of saturns satellites and was once thought to be a shephard satellite.
According to wilipedia.

My belief system is Hopi, so I'm pretty aware of that one.

I made sure to pick the team that lived through the last few ELE's.

When was your last vision quest Pocahontas?
I'm kidding I respect you.

Haha cool video, liked the guy with many many masks disseapering into his hat, the David Blaine one was a puzzler. Cheers

What's being observed is the retro rockets firing to slow the approach of the "comet"
