BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF METEOR ENTRY NOVEMBER 1, 2002
Solar and Interplanetary Magnetic Field Storms for October 2002

The sun is the most dominant external factor that influences the earth's magnetic fields that provide protection against near earth objects (NEO). The earth's magnetic fields were much stronger in the ancient past and have been getting weaker in recent centuries. Changes in the earth's magnetic fields have quickened since 1994, reflecting changing solar activity that includes the current double-peaked solar maximum. In a solar maximum, solar eruptions are at the highest levels; and we have been experiencing a dramatic and long solar maximum since 2000.

Some scientists theorize that the strength of earth's magnetic fields affected by the sun provide greater and lesser protection against intrusion of NEO. Other scientists suggest that sunlight pushes asteroids towards earth over long periods of time by heating up the rocks and, ultimately, changing their orbits. These theories underscore the sun's role in the earth's magnetic fields allowing asteroids to enter the atmosphere and pushing asteroids towards the earth.

Severe magnetic storms had buffeted the earth in the month before a meteor entered the atmosphere and was neutralized by a UFO over Turkey on November 1, 2002. The magnetic storms were accompanied by high solar winds that affect interplanetary magnetic fields. These conditions simultaneously cause flux in the earth's magnetic fields and are capable of pushing the meteor in the earth's atmosphere.

Solar wind is the outward flow of solar particles and magnetic fields from the sun and carries interplanetary magnetic fields. Average solar wind velocities are near 375 kilometers per second. In October 2002 solar wind speeds were double the average speed and were accompanied by severe magnetic storming on several occasions. While the meteor that appeared to be neutralized by a UFO on November 1 seemed to come out of nowhere, the conditions leading up to its appearance had been brewing for years according to current scientific theory.

Solar wind speeds that approached twice the average speed in October and November 2002 are highlighted in red on the table below. The table includes data about solar X-ray flux and flares and other technical terms that are generally relevant to solar activity that probably won't make much sense to many, thus key data about solar wind speeds has been highlighted for easier reading. The dates for 13-day windows preceding key events are also noted in red. The TimeStar theorizes that earth's magnetic fields flux in 13-day cycles relative to the sun and key geomagnetic events tend to occur in 13-day windows following solar events like the solar storms in October 2002. Scroll down to October 19 and 21 to see solar wind speeds 13 days before the meteor entry on November 1 and a 7.9 earthquake in central Alaska on November 3, 2002.
