Richard C. Hoagland and astronomer Dr. Tom Van Flandern return to respond point by point to the previous night's appearance by NASA officials. Van Flandern presents his exploded planet hypothesis, arguing that comets are not pristine dirty snowballs but fragments of a planet that detonated approximately 3.2 million years ago, a date strikingly close to the emergence of hominid species on Earth. Hoagland details his extensive survey of global observatory data on Comet Hale-Bopp, noting that the r...
