 African Dust Cloud Heads For Florida [Jul 22] http://www.local6.com/weather/ A 
cloud of dust from a massive African sandstorm is expected to move over large sections 
of Florida by early next week. Central Florida will see effects from a massive African 
sandstorm as early as next week, according to Local 6 News. The massive cloud -- 
nearly the size of the continental United States -- should arrive between Monday and Wednesday. The weather phenomenon is part of a 
cycle that brings tropical storms and hurricanes to Florida. [and from another source] http://www.sun-sentinel.com [Jul 22] It might 
turn the skies milkier and leave a light coating of reddish-brown dust on your car, the result of a small amount of iron content. [and

was rising to the ecliptic. Was that desert dust too? Steve of Skywatch [Note: key point is how often we have seen these types of rust 
red particulate dust storms in the past, prior to 2003, when Planet X and its tail arrived. Photos below from 2003.] African Dust Cloud Heads For Florida [Jul 22] http://www.local6.com/weather/ A

- Planet X, meanwhile, is transiting the Ecliptic from South to North so must align with the magnetic flow lines by swinging her North 
Pole from pointing toward the Sun to pointing it away from the Sun, a situation we have described as the slow 270° roll. This is, rather 
obviously, what a recent Silbury Hill crop circle was relaying. Where are we on this roll, which starts with a 180° turn pointing the 
North Pole outward toward the Earth rather than inward toward the Sun? Not far along, just starting, but this is no indication of the 
pace, as this is not a steady pace. At some point, the impetus is stronger, pushing the North Pole outwards quickly, as magnets are 
know to move quickly when the threshold of pressure in the magnetic field changes. On can see what the circle makers are trying to 
relay by comparing to Coventry, laid down a year earlier, where Planet X had not yet moved in front of the Sun, from the Earth's 
vantage point. In Silbury, Planet X is positioned centrally, but is still just slightly below the Ecliptic, and of course, has moved closer to 
Earth as the relative size shows. This is the progress a year has brought. What are the signs, from Earth, that this 270° roll is 
progressing? Since the tail of Planet X, composed of magnetized iron oxide dust, hoses away from the North Pole of Planet X, this 
would start to turn toward Earth, increasing the red dust in the atmosphere and blowing the Moon Swirls and visible Moons either to 
the side or closer to Earth. Wafting toward Earth to be closer at hand, they will become increasingly visible as they will be larger. Or 
wafting to the side, they will be outlined against the backdrop of the Sun. [Note: new ZetaTalk: Signs of Change.]

- I have no astronomy background so I am not sure what I am looking at when I see the very dark, round object at the 3 o'clock position 
of the sun on the SOHO EIT 304 latest image for 01:19 on 7/18/2005. I don't believe it is an artifact in the photo. When viewing the 
enlarged version, the spot is quite pronounced. [and from another source] Using expert techniques used by NASA scientists I can 
finally say for definite that it isn´t an artifact! Using Photoshop and its numerous filters I have ascertained that the following is true: 1. 
The object is in front of the sun 2. Other stationary artifacts that can be seen in numerous previous pictures do not show up in colour 
and saturation analysis. 3. The object appears to have some form of lower extension. Below you will find a link to the analysis. Colour 
legend (variants of colour define extremes in stronger emphasis) : Cyan - Closer to us such as minor ejections and anomalies...no 
artifacts are present apart from the object. Green - Sun level Red/orange/yellow - Activity from minor and major sunspots 
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/ [and from another source] I've heard that if the Sun is as large as an orange, the Earth is as large 
as a peppercorn. So this would make this object much smaller than Earth, more moon sized. Since the object is not reflecting light, it is 
standing in front of the Sun. How close is it? Size is relative to distance.
