SAA home pageThe Focuses of the Comet Hale-Bopp, Solar Activity
and Major World Events
Sergey Smelyakov
In [1] a forecast was presented for the year of 2001 that was based on the early [2] forecast for the influence of the comet Hale-Bopp (HB) for the year of 1997 with the following:
Factors of Influence:
(1) natural calamities (tsunamis, gales, hurricanes; earthquakes, eruption of volcanoes; deaths on a mass scale from destruction, drowning, fire; loss of dwelling property; epidemics);
(2) technogeneous catastrophes (ship wrecks, train, airplane, car crashes; destruction and fires (mines, bridges, etc; damage to agriculture);
(3) social and political disorders and disturbances, mental and psychological collisions; illusions, terror, cruelty, aggressiveness; loss of relations, violation of physical frontiers and legislation,
Time Focuses:
*T1 December 21; *T2 January 3; T3 March 3; T4 March 20; T5 March 24; TB April 7 – 11; T6 July 4, 14; T7 September 16; *T8 March 13, which are defined by dates, regardless of the year; here * denotes the Focuses with less pronounced (other conditions being equal) manifestations,
and Geographical Focuses (viz. meridians), which cover the USA, Western part of South America, UK and France, Central Europe (including Yugoslavia), Russia, Israel, Kenya, Afghanistan, India, Korea, Japan, Indonesia and some other countries.
Might be such global factors of influence as coming to New Millennium and to the New Age, the Age of Capricorn [3], around the current peak of the 11-year cycle of Solar Activity (SA), the first one before the last 11-year maximum that would take place before the predicted evolutional shift in our civilization being associated with the termination of the Mayan Calendar in 2013 [4], explain, provoke or somehow intensify (in addition to conventional astrological objects) other mundane sources of influence, both revealed and still unknown ones which, after then, were continuing to manifest themselves through the same (as above) factors of influence, and at the same Focuses, in addition to the moments of these events.
Thus, firstly it was proved [5], that the miraculous synchronism between the comet HB’s Time Focuses and the splashes of Solar Activity took place in 1997 – 1998; and it is effective (See below) until now. After then, it was shown that these Focuses are synchronous with the Great Conjunction (GC) of Jupiter and Saturn of May 28, 2000 and the Total Solar Eclipse (SE) of August 11, 1999 [6]. Now, I may only add to that, that the comet Hyakutake (that, so to say, had heated the situation in 1996 for coming of the comet HB in 1997) was seen by a naked eye and its Celestial path made a cross with that of the comet HB and was similar in its influence [2].
At this, it is established [2, 3, 5, 6] that once some event pertaining to the listed above factors (1) – (3) took place at some Geographical Focus of the comet HB, the resembling events (independent, or such that develop the trend specified by the initial event) would, generally, take place at the subsequent comet HB’s Time Focuses. Besides, the more close synchronism between the comet HB’s Time and Geographical Focuses and the respective time and/or geographical parameters of the GC or SE with the respective Nation’s chart take place, the more pronounced effect at this place and comet HB’s Time Focuses one may expect. The more so, if the SA splash takes place at the moment.
And really, apart from examples given in [2 – 6], we see that over the last few months - including the current Focuses of T2 (January 3) and T3 (March 3) of the year of 2001 - the world wide known events continue to develop the specified trends pertaining to the Factors and Geographical Focuses of the comet HB that started to manifest themselves in the respective countries since 1997. Though this statistics of events of extremal or record nature covers hundreds of examples, the attached Summary of events for some detected trends may present definite interest both for studying of this phenomenon and for forecasting purposes. For short, in the trends being listed below these are given the events which pertain, mainly, to the USA, Yugoslavia, Europe, Russia and Israel.

SUMMARY
(abbreviated relative to Factors of influence, countries and spectra
of events)
Legend: T4(97) – the date for the Time Focus of T4 (viz. March 20) for the year of 1997; the same holds true for the remaining Focuses and years. In average, the orb for the events is 3 – 5 days, which corresponds to 3 – 5 degrees of Zodiacal orb for the Sun as the mutual positions of the Sun and comet HB in 1997 had specified these Focuses. The qualitative estimates for the events are taken from official statements and from mass media.
Solar Activity
Starting with the year of 1997, that is from the beginning of the 23rd 11-year Cycle of Solar Activity (SA), the most of local splashes of SA had shown [5, 6] close correspondence with the HB Time Focuses, as if the Sun itself had turned its face to the Earth. Last year there were two more events that might be considered as such that were organized by the Providence for energizing these Factors of Influence and Focuses: a Solar Storm, the largest and most destructive since 1991 [7] on July 14, 2000 (viz. exactly at the Focus T6) that was accompanied by an explosion of the comet Linear (about July 22) the first comet to be seen in three years (viz. after the comet HB!) [8].
After that July splash, the average sunspot number (SSN) level was decreasing until March 2001, when the average level firstly began to raise since July 2000 and three local SSN splashes took place on March 4 (viz. at T3), March 12 (viz. at T8) and March 26, 28 (viz. at T5).
But those March splashes were only a prelude.
On March 29, that is within a 5-day orb (being equivalent to 5˚ of ecliptic longitude orb) of Time Focus T5, there emerged a tremendous region on the surface of the Sun that had the distinction of the largest sunspot group yet seen during Cycle 23 that occupied an area of 14 Earth’s diameters. That region produced a massive solar flare being comparable with that of July 2000, and, what is important, from that region the Sun shot an Electromagnetic cloud (EMC) in the direction of the Earth. As far as an EMC, as well as Coronal mass ejection (CME), needs some time to reach the Earth, the issued EMC “shell” had reached the Earth and enveloped it on March 30 – 31.
On April 2,3 (viz. within an orb of the Focus TB), that region produced two X-class flares, one of which had the largest X-ray magnitude seen to date in Cycle 23 and, to some estimations, was the largest in 25 years. Space weather increased to extreme level on April 2. This series of diverse SA manifestations (X-ray emissions, sunspots, EMC and CME) had resulted in massive bombardment of the Earth in the subsequent two weeks which coincided with the distributed HB Time Focus TB (April 7 – 11):
During April 2-8 three more major flares took place. An extreme
radio blackout, apart from moderate and strong ones, occurred on April 2; this
category of radio blackouts is rare and normally causes adverse effects on
high-frequency radio communication and low-frequency navigation signals for
many hours on the entire sunlit portion of Earth. Geomagnetic
storms occurred on April 4 – 5 and on April 8 were due to a series of CME
passages at Earth associated with major solar flares; the latter ones normally
result in adverse effects on power systems and high-frequency communications at
high latitudes, and spacecraft operations.
During April 9-15, space weather increased to severe levels on April 11 and 15. One more large and complex sunspot group produced two Earth-directed CMEs on April 9, 10 as well as major solar flares on April 12, and 15. These flares caused category moderate to severe radio blackouts. The largest of these reached its peak on April 15. As well, they caused moderate solar radiation storms occurred during April 10 - 13 and April 15. Besides, the geomagnetic field was intermittently disturbed during the period as a series of CMEs passed Earth; the largest disturbance occurred during April 11 with geomagnetic storms reaching the category of strong to severe levels (geomagnetic storms of this magnitude produce adverse effects on power systems, satellite operations, pipeline operations, high-frequency radio signals, and low-frequency navigation signals).

Air crashes and spacecraft fails
Crashes and fails in this sphere were taking place as if by the signals of the alarm-clock being scheduled to the comet HB Time Focuses [2, 5 – 6]. Thus, for the last period the following most known aircraft accidents might be noted
T6 (99) The J.F. Kennedy Jr. Catastrophe

Kosovo: crash of KFOR helicopter, 2 victims.
The same holds true for Russian, US and Ukrainian space flights. In particular:
“Mir” station: even the decision to remove it from the orbit is put into life by the comet HB Focuses: the date of this operation was declared about T7 (00) and was specified as the end of February, viz. T3 (01). Then, in winter this date was changed to March 20 (viz. T4, exactly), but about T3 (01) it was said the station might be directed to the Pacific Ocean at any moment within the interval of March 13 to 20 (viz. T8 – T4) since it began to descend with the increased speed. Successful reentry of the station on March 23, at T5.
The launching of the Shuttle to the space station on March 10, 2001 (viz. at T8) was accompanied by some fails, as well as coming of the astronauts to a free space on March 11. Landing of the Shuttle was planned on March 18 (viz. T4). Landing took place on March 21, at T4.
Besides,
T3 (01) about March 4 it was announced that American scientists had firstly discovered the actual “Black Hole”, the existence of which was theoretically predicted many years ago, by analyzing the photographs of the sky that were made in 1992 (!).
T4 (01) strike of Russian space crew in Houston with the demand to allow American space tourist D. Tito to fly with them.
TB (01) launching of Russian spacecraft Proton-M was delayed due to technical fails;
US agreed to allow D. Tito to be included into Russian crew.
Railway accidents
The railway accidents also show a trend to occur near the Focuses of the comet HB [2, 5]. Thus, the most known ones that took place in Europe over the last year are:
T2 (00) Norway: up to 60 victims – the largest catastrophe in the history of this country.
TB (00) Norway: new railway accident.
T3 (01) UK: one of the largest catastrophes in the history of the GB, the third over 3 years and the second on the Focus (after that of 1999, near London);
Russia: collision of a train and a car, victims.
TB (01) Moscow: one of the city underground lines is closed as it was flooded.
Canada: train left the metals at a speed of 80 km/hour; two dozens of hardly wounded.
The same trend holds for explosions (both terroristic and technogeneous), car accidents, destruction of bridges, houses, mines throughout the Geographical and Time Focuses of the comet HB.
I n t e r n a t i o n a l a n d s t a t e a f f a i r s
Afghanistan
In continuation of the preceding distribution of events over the Time Focuses for this country [2, 5], note the monstrous crime of the current regime – destruction of the Buddhist monuments, the culmination of which comes to the beginning of March, that is to T3, when the UNO and almost all other countries had declared their demand to immediately stop this vandalism; nevertheless, within several days before and after the date of March 3 (viz. T3) two most large monuments of Buddha being engraved in a rock were exploded by talibs with dynamite and shot from the tanks. On March 13 (viz. T8 exactly) the CNN publishes the first photos of the destroyed statues of Buddha.

Stock Market, Currency, Economy
In continuation of the preceding distribution of events associated with the stock market crises (since the Focus of T7 – September 16, 1997) over the Time Focuses [2, 5, 6], it is interesting to consider the recent chain of events, up to the point T8 (01) lying in opposition to the Focus T7:
