one eye, and one leg, hovering in the night sky. As this bird ‘screams’ and ‘vomits blood,’ ‘All the quarters of the earth, being overwhelmed by showers of dust, look inauspicious. Fierce clouds, portentous of danger, drop bloody showers during the night. Rahu of fierce deeds is also, O monarch, afflicting the constellation Kirtika (Pleiades). Rough winds, portending fierce danger, are constantly blowing.’”[133]

Interestingly, this bird-comet is associated with blood rain and vomited blood just as the Crocodile Star or Cosmic Crocodile from the Mayan Flood Myth discussed in Part 3. Also interestingly, Kobres noted that Rahu was the “demon of eclipse, which originally had four arms and a tail that was severed by Vishnu to become Ketu (comet).“[134] Rahu was referred to as the head of the dragon and Ketu was called the tail of the dragon which “gave birth to comets and meteors.”[135]

According to Wikipedia:

In Hindu tradition, Rahu is a cut-off head of an asura, that swallows the sun or the moon causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a serpent with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black horses… Various names assigned to Rahu in Vedic texts—the chief, the advisor of the demons, the minister of the demons, ever-angry, the tormentor, bitter enemy of the luminaries, lord of illusions, one who frightens the Sun, the one who makes the Moon lusterless…Rahu is known as the "artificial sun"[136]

The origins of Rahu and Ketu sound very reminiscent of the Cosmic Crocodile myth. According to Hindu accounts, Vishnu threw his Sudarshan Chakra at Swarbhanu (Rahu) and cut him in half with the head being called Rahu and the body being called Ketu. Vishnu is believed by scholars to be an ancient Sun god. According to Hindu mythology Sudarshan Chakra was created from Sun “dust” after the Sun was dimmed.[137] In other words, Sudarshan Chakra was considered to be a piece of the sun thus Vishnu, a sun god, throwing Sudarshan Chakra, a piece of the sun, appears to represent either a solar flare or coronal mass ejection.

This Hindu story appears to support Paul LaViolette’s galactic superwave theory discussed in chapter 14, “The Galactic Center and the Blue Star Kachina,” which argued that eruptions from the galactic core, upon reaching the outer solar system, would vaporize comets in the Oort cloud and push this mass of dust and debris inward where it would fall onto the Sun, dimming the Sun and causing it to enter an active phase (called a T Tauri phase). During this active phase the sun would emit super solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Thus the sun dimming and then emitting solar flares and CMEs is consistent with the Hindu account of the Sudarshan Chakra (coronal mass ejection) forming after the sun was dimmed.

The fact that Rahu was known as the artificial sun is reminiscent of the eyewitness account from Tunguska that noted the meteor was like a second sun. The fact that Rahu “makes the Moon lusterless,” is the “bitter enemy of the luminaries,” and is associated with both solar and lunar eclipses likely resulted from the immense amount of dust thrown into the atmosphere from an impact event that blocked out the light from the Sun and Moon. This is reminiscent of the written records associated with the 536 AD event where the Sun and Moon were blotted out for eighteen months.

Thus, once again we have an ancient story of a comet whose tail was severed giving birth to comets and meteors and then vomiting blood just like in the Mayan Flood Myth.

Curiously, the fact that Rahu had four arms is similar to the Chinese design for the “long-tailed pheasant star.” In Carl Sagan’s book Comet, he noted that in a Chinese comet atlas this particular comet was shaped like a swastika.

The swastika-shaped comet was referred to as a “long-tailed pheasant star.”

Other researchers have noted that the only way a comet could have the appearance of a swastika was if an observer on earth was looking at it head-on. We normally see a side view of comets as they pass by Earth with their two or more tails stretched out behind them. But if the comet headed directly for Earth we would see the tails arranged in a swastika configuration. Researchers have also noted that comet Encke, the same comet that was decapitated in 2007 and is the parent of the Taurid meteor stream, is the one comet whose orbit makes it possible to give a radial or head-on view like this to observers on Earth.

Even more interesting, Kobres noted that in the aforementioned Hindu story Rahu was afflicting Kirtika, the Pleiades, during the month of Karttika, which corresponds to the latter half of October through mid November. The Taurid meteor shower takes place during October and November and appears to emanate from the Pleaides.:

“the demon is here darkening Kirtika (the Pleiades) in the month of Karttika (latter half of October, through mid November), for the tale goes on to relate that, ‘. . . in course of the same month both the Moon and the Sun have undergone eclipses on the thirteenth days from the day of the first lunation. The Sun and the Moon therefore, by undergoing eclipses on unusual days, will cause a great slaughter of the creatures of the earth. Meteors, effulgent like Indra's thunder-bolt, fall with loud hisses . . . People, for meeting together, coming out of their houses with lighted brands, have still to encounter a thick gloom all round . . . From the mountains of Kailasa and Mandara and Himavat thousands of explosions are heard and thousands of summits are tumbling down . . . Fierce winds charged with pointed pebbles are blowing, crushing mighty trees. In villages and towns trees, ordinary and sacred, are falling down, crushed by mighty winds and struck by lightning.’”

It seems very clear from these descriptions that the celestial bird in this
