Well that was as short as yo mammas penis

I'm taking a course in college about preternatural phenomena, which makes us analyze corroborated evidence that extraterrestrial life that has visited earth. We look at research documents, articles, and photographs that are all from credible sources, including NASA. The internet is not a bad source for information, however, it is easy to stumble upon BS. We did read that in 1959 the Brookings Institute researchers told the US Gov't to completely suppress any info regarding life elsewhere. UFO?

I suppose you have proof that isn't on the internet?

Actually I theorize the Sunspot cycle is directly connected to our Systems 'wobble' of it's orbit around the center of the galaxy.

The galaxy core emits it's own EM and gravitational fields which are compressed due to it's rotation, and our system (sun) passes through them in it's up down motion periodically.

These fields or forces like everything travel the speed of light and would seem liquid or fluid if you could see them, but are in cumulative bands of energy.

the information is quite short 4 an average person 2 understand...

But the sun doesn't have human emotions! How does that work? hahah just kidding

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

The Sun is just like a woman, it runs on a cycle and can destroy us all on a whim with it's emotional disturbances.
