| Quote |
There has been numerous postings concerning P17 Comet Holmes as well as the Kuiper Belt Aliens that apparently are currently within our Solar System, with their supposed bases of activity being mainly in and around the Kuiper Asteroid Belt and the Great Oort Cloud as well as around Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
This new thread is concerned with simply discussing whether there is any connections between P17 Comet Holmes and the Kuiper Belt Aliens. Whether P17 Comet Holmes is either a natural comet, manipulated by advanced astrophysical technology or is actually a completely artificial object created by the Kuiper Belt Aliens is NOT known, however it is relevant to look at both Solar System phenomena.
THE KUIPER BELT ALIENS GLP THREAD:

THE 17P COMET HOLMES GLP THREAD:

This thread is ONLY concerned with sincerely looking at both phenomena, and whether they are one and the same thing or separate kinds of astrophysical activity. |

With the strange sounds and communication being emitted by the Kuiper Belt Aliens, who have developed the SATURN HEXAGON aas a means of electromagnetic plasmic physics, to ensure the Inner Solar System remains under MARTIAL QUARANTINE, then logically it does appear as if the KBA are wanting to prevent TPTB on Planet Earth from creating Earth-type colonies on the moons of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Whatever NASA has managed to received within transmission from Saturn through the NASA Cassini-Huygens Probe, is certainly very strange and very interesting indeed. |

Planet 10, the Kuiper Belt Aliens and 17P Comet Holmes ALL perhaps are related. Here is an interesting article dated back to 2005, concerning Planet 10 and this Solar System:

The KBA seemingly have very, very ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY as can be clearly seen with the Saturn Hexagon and therefore it would also make sense that the KBA created the technology involved in developing 17P Comet Holmes. |

Maybe by utilizing this SPACE RADIO PROGRAM, people at GLP can finally communicate with the Kuiper Belt Aliens and the Silver Surfers inside 17P Comet Holmes - LOL!!!!

Whether this is ALL part of Project Greenstar, developed by the NSA from 1964 onwards, is not known, however it is very interesting to look at though! |

Perhaps the KUIPER BELT ALIENS (KBA), and 17P Comet Holmes are both "related" and perhaps also these events in our Solar System are because of the HATONA COUNCIL in the Andromeda Galaxy as well:
[link to www.greatdreams.com]
Maybe David Icke is right about ALL that Reptilian DNA and the Illuminists, and the Secret Societies across this planet?
The KBA have amassed well over 2,500,000 spaceships within the Kuiper Asteroid Belt and the Great Oort Cloud in the Outer Solar System.
What do you think about the possibility that there will be the "final phase" of the STAGED ALIEN INVASION as part of Project Greenstar in 2008?
After which the KBA will create a REAL ALIEN INVASION of this planet to finally stop the Illuminati and their evil New World Order. |

Perhaps the SATURN HEXAGON is some kind of "Electromagnetic Protection System", to prevent US Space Command, on behalf of the ILLUMINATI and HIGH FREEMASONS, from travelling outside of this Solar System, because of the fact that HUMANS are a genetic mixture of Reptilian DNA and Mammalian DNA according to some people.
[link to space.newscientist.com]
The EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY has a brilliant article concerning the Saturn Hexagon, which is located in an interesting location, as it literally is seemingly being used to create a kind of Martial Quarantine of this Solar System, keeping the Illuminati "Space Program" contained within the Inner Solar System.
[link to www.esa.int]
So if there is to be a Staged Alien Invasion - AKA Project Greenstar (NSA), then would there then be a Real Alien Invasion by the Kuiper Belt Aliens to dismantle the NEW WORLD ORDER on this planet? |

In regards to the STAGED ALIEN INVASION - AKA - Project Greenstar (NSA), that apparently is going into overdrive in the Summer of 2008, maybe these Kuiper Belt Aliens (KBA) are part of that "alien scenario" or maybe they are REAL - and dislike the Reptilians, the Illuminati and their High Freemasons, so if there is going to be a Real Alien Invasion, then 2008 is going to be an amazing year for the Earth!!!! |

Yes, I feel those JPEG Images do show the spaceships of the Kuiper Belt Aliens, who apparently now are moving into towards the Inner Solar System to finally invade this messed up planet, remove the ILLUMINATI and HIGH FREEMASONS from power, and put an end to the New World Order and the New World Religion of Luciferianism.
The KBA are VERY mysterious "aliens" indeed and 2008 is going to be a very, very interesting year indeed as well!!!! |

Make of this information what you will, but it is an interesting read and is something positive to reflect upon. NASA seem to have NO explanations for the KBA or 17P Comet Holmes in Solar System. |

Kuipers Belt Info
By the time you read this, I will be on the high seas approaching Panama. I will be investigating some historical facts, but I am also in a location where reception from deep space sources is easier.
Before I left on this trip, there was increased activity in deep space in the Kuipers Belt. There is movement toward the inner part of the solar system. Ia mattempting to get details on this to report to you when I return.
Just be aware, much is happening behind the scenes and will affect all of us in 2008.

Thanks for posting the Stewart Swerdlow weblink about the KUIPER BELT ALIENS.
I think there perhaps is a link between 17P Comet Holmes and the Kuiper Belt Aliens in the Outer Solar System.
NASA, ESA and RSA are ALL silent on the REAL presence "out there" of the KBA, 17P Comet Holmes, the HATONA COUNCIL, and the mess Planet Earth is currently in. |

Thankyou so much for the additional information regarding the Kuiper Belt Aliens, and 17P Comet Holmes.
2008 certainly seems to be the year when the Staged Alien Invasion (Project Greenstar - NSA) and the REAL Alien Invasion could both happen.
However, the NWO and other issues will ALL be part of that strange grouping of global events in 2008 as well. |

I believe the Kuiper Belt Aliens ARE actually "real" and that 17P Comet Holmes is ALSO part of their advanced technology and "astrophysical" knowledge.
NASA is a Masonic Agency - so they WILL NEVER tell anyone what is really going on and the KBA seemingly have travelled to this Solar System to create some kind of "cosmic changes" but obviously Humanity does not know exactly what they are. |

There is another GLP thread concerning the KUIPER BELT ALIENS entitled:
"Why Are Insectoid Aliens Massing Near Kuiper Belt?"
[link to www.godlikeproductions.com]
It seems very STRANGE that the OP would come to the "cosmic conclusion" that there are "INSECTOID ALIENS" amassing within the Kuipers Asteroid Belt.
Where the hell did the OP find such astrophysical information???? Because I cannot find anywhere on the Internet, such information - or did the OP simply watch one to many SCI-FI MOVIES????
I DO feel that 17P Comet Holmes is most definitely KUIPER BELT ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, as NASA, ESA and the RSA cannot explain exactly what it is and now some JPEG Images seem to show another large, but different "celestial object" in the Outer Solar System that is "near" to 17P COMET HOLMES.
So within our Solar System, something VERY strange is going on, and NASA have no idea what it is, neither do any "amateur astronomers", so 17P Comet Holmes is NOT a comet at all but an "ARTIFICIAL CELESTIAL OBJECT" created through very, very advanced technology by the KUIPER BELT ALIENS (KBA).
[link to www.godlikeproductions.com]
If anyone out there thinks they have some good ideas on what exactly the Kuiper Belt Aliens and 17P Comet Holmes actually are, then please share such information here at GLP.
But "INSECTOID ALIENS" - WTF, that is based on what exactly???? If the OP can possibly give us more details on these Insectoid Aliens, then brilliant, we can see that perhaps the KBA are "Insectians" and 17P Comet Holmes is their own advanced technology. |

If 17P Comet Holmes, originally simply being a "normal comet" that periodically flew through our Solar System, was then electromagnetically and electrochemically altered by the KUIPER BELT ALIENS (KBA), then it makes sense that 17P Comet Holmes was so "strange" in its presence in our Solar System.
Many people believe that 17P Comet Holmes was towing "planetoids" or perhaps massive "space stations" within its corona across our Solar System, because the KBA were wanting to disguise the cosmic movements of various types of their "spaceships". So the amazing and beautiful 17P Comet Holmes was in effect a type of ETHERIC TECHNOLOGY created from the original "adapted" 17P Comet Holmes.
Will the Kuiper Belt Aliens (KBA) created a REAL ALIEN INVASION towards the end of 2008 or at the beginning of 2009 on Planet Earth???? No one really knows, but the current crappy mess the Illuminists and their High Freemasons have created on this planet, has to stop and perhaps the KBA have travelled to this Solar System to prevent the completion of the NWO. |

Wow, so the Kuiper Belt Aliens (KBA) are in our Solar System and they are here to "remove" the ILLUMINATI from power???? Does this mean the NWO will NOT then happen???? How brilliant for Humanity!!!!

WTF!?!?!?!? - 17P Comet Holmes is therefore NOT a "COMET" then is it????
What ridiculous B.S.!!!!
Perhaps 17P Comet Holmes is "actually" an "adapted" kind of "COMET", that was altered by E.T. Beings, the Kuiper Belt Aliens (KBA), currently in our Solar System?
It is completely silly to keep dismissing the "E.T. Factor" in regards to the presence of the KBA, and their links to the presence of 17P Comet Holmes and its very odd and bizarre "cosmic behaviour". |

1) Not a "COMET", because it displays "characteristics" simply NOTHING like any "COMET", there is something completely different????
2) 17P Comet Holmes is now "duplicating" itself according to some GLP Posters, is that actually correct????
Crikey, I was completely unaware that "COMETS" duplicated themselves. Maybe it is a "Duplicator Comet" - so, basically it is NOT a friggin "COMET" at all!!!!
So "17P Comet Holmes Experts" - WHAT is the object, formerly known as a "COMET", really, travelling through the Solar System????
Perhaps it is NOT a "COMET" but some type of "alien technology" created by the Kuiper Belt Aliens (KBA) that are currently within the Solar System, and there are many JPEG Images, MPEG Files and other information that show the KBA are within THIS Solar System! |

So is this the first inkling of the staged or perhaps real alien invasion that many paranormal researchers have been predicting for the past several years?
Should be an interesting hologram display show (if its a staged, aka faked invasion). Worthy of a Disney Production perhaps. We are in for a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, no matter if it is faked or real. Wonder if ot will be seen/felt all over the planet, or just in the developed nations. |

Your WORDS are interesting "FOOL". I agree with you, as know one really knows if the Kuiper Belt Aliens (KBA) are part of some kind of 3D Holographic Projection Technology (HPT), AKA - Project Blue Beam created by NASA and and Project GREENSTAR, which was created by the NSA.
The KBA and 17P Comet Holmes "seem" to be REAL, however, as so much of the "cosmic activity" is far our into "Deep Space", where seemingly the Illuminati DO NOT have that much "space based weaponry". So the KBA maybe are "Real Aliens", who have travelled to our Solar System, and wish to create Martial Quarantine, to electromagnetically contain the NWO on Planet Earth. |

No one knows for sure. It does seem as if the STAGED ALIEN INVASION might be entering into "Phase 4" in 2008, with massive holographic "skyline projections" from NSA Satellites.
The KBA seem "REAL" however, and they DO NOT "look" Reptilian, or like the Greys, or Reptilian Hybrids. So it is a strange one indeed!!!!
Project Greenstar (NSA) and Project Blue Beam (NASA), are the "projects" where the Holographic Projection Technology (HPT) was developed, utilizing orbiting satellites, to project holographic images of UFO Spacecraft and so on.
2008 seemingly is the YEAR when the Staged Alien Invasion will go into some kind of "newer phase", when "motherships" perhaps will be sighted???? |

17P Comet Holmes is certainly no "ordinary" looking "COMET", but is definitely a weird electromagnetic and astrophysical "Cosmic Event", because 17P Comet Holmes seems to be under the technological direction of an ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE that remains discreetly faraway in the Solar System.
This JPEG Image is very interesting indeed:

It shows 17P Comet Holmes with "strange" sporadic lower luminescent "patches" around the outer areas of its gaseous form. Is 17P Comet Holmes really a "COMET"???? - I do not think so! |

for those of you unfamiliar with the Kuiper Belt (a I was) this: Kuiper belt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Known objects in the Kuiper belt, derived from data from the Minor Planet Center. Objects in the main belt are coloured green, while scattered objects are coloured orange. The four outer planets are blue. Neptune's few Trojan asteroids are yellow, while Jupiter's are pink. The scattered objects between the Sun and the Kuiper belt are known as centaurs. The scale is in astronomical units.

The four outer planets are blue. Neptune's few Trojan asteroids are yellow, while Jupiter's are pink. The scattered objects between the Sun and the Kuiper belt are known as centaurs. The scale is in astronomical units.
The Kuiper belt (pronounced /ˈkaɪpɚ/, to rhyme with "viper"),[1] sometimes called the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU)[2] to approximately 55 AU from the Sun.[3] It is similar to the asteroid belt, although it is far larger; 20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive.[4][5] Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies (remnants from the Solar System's formation) and at least one dwarf planet – Pluto. But while the asteroid belt is composed primarily of rock and metal, the Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (dubbed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water.
Since the first was discovered in 1992, the number of known Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) has increased to over a thousand, and more than 70,000 KBOs over 100 km in diameter are believed to reside there.[6] The Kuiper belt is believed to be the main repository for periodic comets, those with orbits lasting less than 200 years. The centaurs, comet-like bodies that orbit among the gas giants, are also believed to originate there, as are the scattered disc objects such as Eris—KBO-like bodies with extremely large orbits that take them as far as 100 AU from the Sun. Neptune's moon Triton is believed to be a captured KBO.[7] Pluto, a dwarf planet, is the largest known member of the Kuiper belt. Originally considered a planet, it has many physical properties in common with the objects of the Kuiper belt, and has been known since the early 1990s to share its orbit with a number of similarly sized KBOs, now called Plutinos.
The Kuiper belt should not be confused with the hypothesized Oort cloud, which is a thousand times more distant. The objects within the Kuiper belt, together with the members of the scattered disc and any potential Hills cloud or Oort cloud objects, are collectively referred to as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).[8] |
