I thought the post was from Joanne ..... (not being privy to insider info) But what the heck - the topics Bob posted are still active - without Bob's presence.Why aren't you willing to give him another chance? Forgive and forget. How about an open topic - welcome back forum for anyone wishing to return or comment? I think it's worth a try.

U/T, an X-class flare is commonly known to astronomers as a "Planet Killer." It kind of looks like a massive blow torch emenating from the sun that could have the potential of frying anything in its path. Check out the X-Ray Flux Graph and you'll see just how bad an X-class flare is. http://206.131.246.33/sun/noaa.html Luckily most of the flares of this magnitude have not been headed in this direction. Of course we have had a couple of close calls and one or two may have slammed into the atmosphere at one time or another during the earth's history and caused some pretty major problems.

The Classification of X-ray Solar Flares or "Solar Flare Alphabet Soup" back to spaceweather.comA solar flare is an explosion on the Sun that happens when energy stored in twisted magnetic fields (usually above sunspots) is suddenly released. Flares produce a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to x-rays and gamma-rays. Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. There are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares are medium-sized; they generally cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare. Compared to X- and M-class events, C-class flares are small with few noticeable consequences here on Earth. http://spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html

Thanks Dan, I clicked on your link and got the lo down. Interesting. Have any of these solar flares(X&Ms) been aimed at us in the past few years?

We haven't been struck directly by an X-class flare in a very long time but one did come pretty close a few years ago. I'll have to see if I can track down the information on it but from what I remember, it was referred to as a warning shot over the bow and woke up quite a few scientists.

I have a friend who's an airline attendant. Last Spring she was on a flight to Japan and was suddenly ordered off course due to excessive solar radiation. Their flight was delayed 4 hours. What class of flare might this have been? It happened the first week of May or the last two weeks in April. The chemtrail activity really picked up during that time period. From once every two weeks to everyday. I wonder if the two could be related in some way.

I just checked my data and there was a lot of M-Class Flare activity back in April so that's probably why your friend's flight was ordered off course. I'm not sure, but I think a few of them have impacted the atmosphere. I also remember hearing somewhere that flight crews were feeling some kind of burning sensation a few months ago when they were flying at high altitudes.BTW BOB B, I'm glad to see that you're still lurkiing around.
