Lamont, the 4 postings I made regarding aberrations in the
Orbital Elements the JPL posted in late May and then again in
late June, '96, were intended to highlight
- that the eccentricity was shortened, FOR NO REASON, so
that the orbit could move steadily toward an occultation
with Gamma Andromedae at perihelion (they have since
reversed that trend, since the Zetas pointed out the game
plan).
- after posting Orbital Elements on May 28, '96 that were
stated to be based on observations as late as May 25,
'96, when the mythical Hale-Bopp would have been passing
Jupiter, they posted revised Orbital Elements on June 27,
'96 that showed Hale-Bopp would have been FURTHER OUT
from Jupiter at the time of passage. They perturbed
Hale-Bopp AWAY from Jupiter. No explanation has even been
proffered for that gambit.
- in order to jerk the orbit around, so they could line up
the above mentioned occultation, they had Hale-Bopp in a
zig-zag orbit.
There is no error bar, as this would imply a CORRECT orbit.
Since this is all NASA's games, to keep folks from looking to
Orion at this time, and to make them think the millennium comet
had come and gone, there IS no correct orbit. Thus, no error bar.
