In 1991, Hale-Bopp was on a near direct collision course with Earth. With a couple of quick photographs they could chart the orbit, and it was on a new collision course with Earth.\par \par Martin :(Interviewer): No wonder there was such a scramble.\par McCanney: It was a huge scramble. When it was discovered, I called up Goddard Space Centre- I knew the secretary there- and I said: 'What's Going On?' \par \par I heard there's this comet...' You could hear the screaming in the background. And she said: "Oh my God, this comet is huge!". \par But I thought she meant in the sense of being a news story. No, it was huge in the sense that is a planet-sized object. They had been tracking it.\par \par You see, this is where the division comes in, because it wasn't until then that even a lot of the scientists at Goddard found out about it. But they had been tracking this since 1991, possibly earlier. Harrington discovered it, and you see it in the 1991 memo that he knew exactly where to go and look at it.\par A long time ago, what happened is... it was one of the companions of Niburu that did the damage to Earth.\par Martin: A Companion?\par \par McCanney: A companion. It was the one that became Venus. Velikovsky was very right that Venus was a huge comet that worked its way through the solar system, and it took about a 600 year period from the time it was captured by Jupiter to the time it encountered Earth. and then worked its way in to become the planet (VENUS) that we know today.\par \b0\f1\par }
