Okay, so many of us are familiar with Ed Dames' "Killshot" predictions. While I am skeptical about RV, I do feel it is at least plausible within my personal understanding of reality and physics. That being said, for those unfamiliar, there are plenty of threads you can devour here on ATS, as well as plenty of Youtube videos such as this one....
There are a couple of events that Dames predicts as leading up to the "Killshot", one of which was the devastating EQ/Tsunami in Japan last year. Others that have yet to come to pass include North Korea using a nuclear bomb as an act of war, and a shuttle like space craft being forced down over something like a meteor shower. (and I am completely recalling from memory, do discretion is advised).
So, I'm flipping through my daily list of "Geek News" today, and at blastr.com (I know I know, poor journalism...) and I came accross this article....
We've had a secret space plane in Earth orbit for a year. But why?
It talks about the X-37B and how it's been up in orbit for an additional 3 months then planned for (something I was unaware of). Which got me thinking about the Dames prediction. While they speculate on the cause of the missions extension, I had a little speculation of my own, and wanted some thoughts on it, so alas, I turn to ATS.
My speculation is this. What if the X-37B is stuck? What if they lost the ability to bring it down? What if there is no meteor shower event. Keep in mind, this thing is shielded just like the shuttle was for passing through earths atmosphere in tact. What if this thing ends up coming down with no guidance systems, and hits a populated area? Could this be something significant enough for Ed to attribute it as a sign the "Killshot" is on it's way?
Plausible?

Yes Yes, I am very familiar with these predictions. In fact I have been hearing about these "killshots" he talks about for the last 15+ years, since the old Art Bell days.
Not ONE single prediction has ever been true.

I'm speaking for myself here, but I think the whole Remote Viewing thing is a scam. Dames makes money from paranoid doomers, US military appears more powerful than it really is, and the general population gets spooked enough to buy unnecessary survival materials.
As far as the X-37B, your idea might not be too far off. If I remember correctly, there was another space vehicle that lost communication shortly after launch. Time to google this and find out exactly what it was.

The real question is; what will instigate the Norks to "pop one off"?
Do they have some sort of mutual defense treaty with Iran? That's what I'm wondering.
