#1 What's more, their force is only generated by a spinning superconductor, not any other kind of matter. "We cannot find a mechanism to explain this in either general relativity or quantum mechanics,"

#2 "Holy Macanarsels, Margaret!"

"...This gravitomagnetism is a feeble phenomenon: an object orbiting close to the Earth should be shifted just a few nanometres per year. In contrast, the gravitomagnetic force Tajmar's team have seen is trillions of times stronger, which is why they are treating the results so cautiously. What's more, their force is only generated by a spinning superconductor, not any other kind of matter..."

#3 From 2006.

#5 ION, NEWSVINE SCIENCE > NEAR EARTH OBJECTS:PREPARING FOR DOOMSDAY. USDOD satellites detect several 1-kiloton explosions per year as due to colliding space rocks; and much bigger space kabooms every several years.

*TO BAD ASTRONOMY BLOG - DO I HAVE TO SAY "TOLD YA"! Also explains ANOTHER one two days ago. ALSO OCCURRING THIS WEEK > ULTRA-SLOW FIREBALLS IN UPPER ATMOSPHERE, as observed visually over Guam [US 193 debris???]. IMO TOO SLOW TO BE SPACE ROCKS - POSSIBLE, BUT HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
