Earth managed to avoid being hit by a strong solar flare two weeks ago, writes washingtonexaminer.
The “electromagnetic pulse” was so large that he, may have been able to deprive the whole territory of electricity The United States, and paralyze motor vehicles and mobile communications. Two experts on EMP (electromagnetic pulses) told secretly that the EMP hit came in a typical orbit Earth around the Sun about two weeks before the planet was there. “The world escaped an electromagnetic disaster,” – said Henry Cooper, who was negotiating strategic weapons with the Soviet Union under President Reagan, and which now Leads High Frontier Anti-Ballistic Missile defense.
“Two weeks ago we missed a Carrington class event – ejection of the coronal mass that crossed the Earth’s orbit, “said Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional Threat Commission EMP in 2001-2008. He was referring to an electromagnetic flash on The sun of 1859, named after the astronomer Richard Carrington. Then the telegraph lines in Europe and North were disabled America. “Basically, it’s like Russian roulette,” Pry added. “We miraculously escaped the Carrington-class disaster. ”
Pry, Cooper and former CIA director James Woolsey demanded recently so that Washington orders to prepare an electric country networks to electromagnetic shocks that can come as from the Sun, and from the enemy’s nuclear weapons. They offered, so that at least 2000-3000 transformers in the network are protected high tech metal boxes and were available Spare parts that can help restore the power system. Wolsey said if they knock out just 20 transformers, that part of the nation will be left without electricity “for a long time.” But in Washington reacted coolly to this demand, especially in presidential administration.
