Priscilla Frisch

"January 15, 1985

As part of our continuing policy of bringing you warnings of world disasters in good time for you to prepare for them, we hereby report that Priscilla Frisch, an astronomer at the University of Chicago, has found that an interstellar wind now blowing through the solar system will massively disrupt worldwide weather patterns. If the prediction is correct, the climatic changes (mainly heavy rains) will occur 250, 000 years from now. “I have this stored in my file as long-range weather forecasting,” said Ms. Frisch. Ms. Frisch said the earth and the rest of the solar system are now on the edge of a very thin cloud of interstellar material blowing toward us at a speed of roughly 26 kms per second.

The cloud producing this “local interstellar wind,” as she calls it, is composed mostly of hydrogen atoms with trace amounts of many other elements. It could also contain a core perhaps 10,000 times as dense as the wind now blowing past the solar system, she said. If the core came into contact with the earth’s atmosphere, the hydrogen atoms in it would combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to form water. “ The result would be big rainfall,” Ms. Frisch said."

I have found from my net search that 20 years later Dr. Frisch, who clearly was ahead of her time, is still active in the world of astronomy , has her own home page:

Homepage of Priscilla C. Frisch

and has been widely published and acknowledged in various scientific arenas e.g. here:
