Aliens and comets

Not a playground game/computer game, but yet another conspiracy theory [1] being an example (and can also combine [2] with [3] in a variant of the Star Trek whales movie) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 16:09, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Papal comet

There should be a mention of the supposed papal excommunication [4] or similar. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm totally sceptical of that story. Though a Papal Bull is an apt noun. --Scherben (talk) 20:06, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Actually

Comet dust occasionally rains down onto Earth and has a peculiar hallucinogenic effect on certain people making them come up with strange theories. (Slightly less bizarre than the said theories.) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 17:55, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

FACT — Ken Ham has proven that there are no comets. Take that, Atheist! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 18:25, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

No comet comment on the KH page. The comet dust (in practice meteor shower dust), contrails and 'various other such things' will be affected by skyquakes but will do no more than add to 'general dust and dirt.'

How can this creative concatenation be developed? 82.44.143.26 (talk) 15:35, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

If Kenny said it, then shut down all astronomy immediately. Case closed. --Scherben (talk) 20:03, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

[The elves and the] Shoemaker-Levy 9

Does anyone remember the nuttery surrounding this comet? Some ex-nun or other claiming it was going to collide with the Earth (with a plot eerily similar to that of HG Wells's short story The Star); then, when it was bleeding obvious to even the most fucking stupid that Jupiter was going to suck it in, changed the prediction to the collision causing an EMP effect across the world instead. Or is my imagination more fertile than I give it credit for? --Scherben (talk) 20:00, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Comet Nishimura/C/2023 P1

Does it need a mention yet?

And there should be a link to the RW page on 'Oumuamua. Anna Livia (talk) 17:00, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
