Geomagnetic storm hurtling toward Earth
http://starbulletin.com/2003/10/25/news/index3.html

The storm, a "coronal mass ejection," whirled toward Earth at 2 million mph, officials said. It was expected to be the strongest yesterday, but the warning extended until today, Kuhn said.

Another coronal mass ejection was predicted to reach Earth last night or today and cause a new round of storms.

2. You forgot to add the Saran Wrap etheric barrier
and Wax Paper Aura Enhancer to your tin-foil hat. Quick. Make the modifications now before you mutate further.

5. I remember a SF story called "From the Sun"
In which a research base in Mercury tracked one of these things and it turned out it was a living being. Arthur C. Clarke if I remember right (no, I'm probably wrong). Anyone read that?
