Tunguska 2.0 + Armageddon 2013?

For days, you've been hearing about the asteroid half the size of a football field, known as 2012 DA14, flies by about 17,000 miles above Earth, on February 15, 2013.

Tunguska 2.0

Early on February 15th, in an intriguing "coincidence," a meteor (or will it be found to be a meteorite?) weighing 10 tons and the size of a kitchen table, exploded over communities in the Russian Urals.  

Because of the fact that one million people in Russia have dashcams (dashboard cameras), good videos were taken of this breaking news.

There are reports that due to the concussion burst from this exploding meteor breaking out windows and collapsing buildings, over 1000 people have been injured in Russia.

Why are some people calling this Tunguska 2.0? It is a reference to the mysterious larger incident that also occurred in Russia, back in 1908.

The Tunguska event was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near (and later struck) the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, at about 7:14 a.m. KRAT (00:14UT) on June 30 [O.S. June 17], 1908. The explosion, having the epicenter (60.886°N, 101.894°E), is believed to have been caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5–10 kilometres (3–6 mi) above the Earth's surface.

In late breaking news shared by The Gralien Report, eyewitnesses in "Cuba now claim a similar explosion has occurred over the province of Cienfuegos, described as a 'very bright light, and of a size 'comparable to that of a bus.'"

Cinematic timing?

Bruce Willis to the rescue? Willis to Russia?
 

Bruce Willis's latest, A Good Day To Die Hard, has opened, but on Friday, February 15, 2013, most people may be thinking about his role in Armageddon (1998). (What, another Ben Affleck-Argo timing sync too? Argo just went on sale on Blu-Ray and digital.)

As to other movie tie-ins, look at the following early report in which a bottom caption of Skyfall is used, and the reporter mentions War of the Worlds and Armageddon. She later makes mistakes, such as saying these are asteroids, instead of meteorites. But it is apparent that many people are subconsciously and naturally linking the two events. (Her report, btw, is one of the first, in which only 100 injured people were known. She does mention five fragments, a factoid not heard often in USA-UK reports.)

How does this coincidence/synchronicity strike you?

An insightful friend, Philip Levine, a writer, former therapist and astrologer, publicly shared this on Facebook today:

Today we have something even rarer than being impacted by the big (mostly empty) Universe we live in. We are being impacted twice! A meteor explodes above the Earth and injures people and destroys property. And an asteroid is passing 17,000 miles away from us.
In other times and places, these would be a sign, a very big sign, saying something (what depends on which prophet or psychic you listen to). If you think the Universe is intelligent and an embodiment of some kind of Being, then you would want to know what It is saying.
If, like most, you believe the Universe is just a random collection of debris with no meaning other than chaos, then Statistics is your God. And the statistical chance of ONE of these things happening is immensely small, but TWO on the SAME DAY, within hours, in this infinitely vast Universe, is something to give one pause.
If you aren't sticking your head in the sand, how does this coincidence/synchronicity strike you?

First of all, let us hope that others are not or will not be struck, physically, by any of events.

I must say, it all does seem to be incredibly intriguing timing, that is very Fortean, synchromystic, and cosmic. It is as if, sometimes, a cosmic window has opened. Is this one of those times?

I also think these current events are synchrocinematic. These astrothreads are happening at the same time two Bruce Willis movies come to mind, one about the character in Russia and the other about his role being to fly to destroy an asteroid heading to Earth.  We all get to think about what the words coincidence and synchronicity deeply imply.

One of Jung's favorite quotes on synchronicity was from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, in which the White Queen says to Alice: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".

Morgan & Sturgis?

So you are unaware of the name Bob Morgan in conjunction with that of Frank Sturgis, Watergate burglar, CIA operative, and Bay of Pigs player?

People who study Bigfoot understand the history of Robert W. Morgan and his involvement in the search for the elusive creatures. Few realize that Morgan has a rich legacy, as well, cryptopolitically. This will all change in January 2010 after Morgan's new book Citizen Spy is published.


Robert Morgan

Canton reporter Diana Rossetti recently interviewed Morgan, and wrote an interesting overview of the man's life:

At 74 years old, Robert W. Morgan still muses, only half joking, about what he wants to do when he grows up.

Until he narrows the possibilities, here is what the 1954 Lincoln High School [Canton, Ohio] graduate already has under his belt:

Morgan led the first expeditions in search of what he now calls “forest giant people” and others variously dubbed Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti and the Abominable Snowman.

He still believes the hairy, strong-smelling giants exist, and plans a private expedition to Washington in June [2010].

He was commissioned by developers of a multimillion-dollar condominium project on Maui to search for the world’s most beautiful fountain.

One of life’s proudest moments, aside from the birth of his only child, a daughter, was being adopted by the then-100-year-old Nino Cochise, grandson of the original Cochise, nephew of Geronimo and the last Apache born free.

Morgan was on a movie set when a hanging scene featuring screen actor Harold “Oddjob” Sakata, best known for his role in “Goldfinger,” went awry, leaving the 270-pound thespian actually dangling by his neck.

“Bill Shatner ran up and lifted him up by his legs, and another guy and I climbed up and cut the rope,” Morgan recalled. The rope that nearly took Sakata’s life is on Morgan’s desk today.

“When Sakata was dying of stomach cancer in a Honolulu hospital, his nurse was Nancy Thomas. She was from Canton. It turned out, I had dated her sister, Gwen,” he recalled, adding that there is a “special lady” in his life these days.

The late Frank Sturgis, sometimes remembered as one of the Watergate burglars but also as a decorated World War II U.S. Marine, enlisted Morgan in a Miami-based, CIA-funded paramilitary group training to overthrow Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

The kid with the piercing blue eyes who grew up on Prospect Avenue in Canton’s southwest end is a successful screenwriter and filmmaker, having worked around the world, including a stint in the former Soviet Union.

He recently completed a two-year radio blog and remains a popular radio talk show guest in the Pacific Northwest.

Currently, Morgan is burning the midnight oil at his home, where bears wandering his deck are the only visitors. He is steaming toward a publisher’s deadline for his latest book, “Citizen Spy,” due for release in January.

The nonfiction thriller reveals Morgan’s own story of teaming with the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration to foil a drug-trafficking ring operated by the Mafia....

“Life’s too short to dance with nasty ladies,” jokes Robert W. Morgan, who says his favorite Friday nights are spent at the Grizzly Den in Whitefish, Mont., drinking Obsidian Stout, a brew the bar ships in from Bend, Ore., just for him. Here, he works on a movie set.
