Like Hale-Bopp, NEAT's highly inclined orbit causes it to slice through the solar system making calculations of its orbit more difficult. It's arrival/discovery actually caught Nasa/astronomers by surprise. It was discovered on November 6th of 2002 and reached it's perihelion(closest point to the Sun) on Feb.18,2003, where it was "rebuked" by a huge solar flare(changing its orbit) before heading back on its incredibly long orbit of 30,000+ years(or so they say). Below is a list of dates and zodiacal longitudes for the "comet" based on RA coordinates from the Minor Planet & Comet Ephemeris site. The previous co-ordinates were a little off and have been corrected.

Note: Because of its very high inclination to the ecliptic(approaching 90°), NEAT is located only in a very narrow segment of the zodiac in the 20th and and early 21st century, notablty between late tropical Taurus and early Gemini. In 1900, for example, it barely covers two degrees(29Tau to 0Gem) and doesn't change much untill the 1970's and 80's when it gains a few more degrees. It's starts to widen noticeably at the turn of the century and especially as we near Feb.18 2003 -the day of NEAT's perihelion(closest point to the Sun) where it spans an area covering about 5 zodiac signs. As a general rule, if you were born during the winter of any year during the 20th century(1900-1999 AD), Neat will likely be in late tropical Taurus. Those born in late spring, summer, and fall in the 20th century will likely have their NEAT in early Gemini. This changes for the 21st century. Specific dates are given below.

In the few years before perihelion, Neat's trajectory along the ecliptic starts to widen considerably, hence the need for separate listings. Coordinates are for noon GMT.

The largest swath of sky or ecliptic longitude is covered between late 2002 and early 2003. This is when Neat comes closest to the Earth and Sun. Its range is now from late Aquarius to mid Taurus(five signs).

2002-03 Dec.15 = 15Tau00 Dec.23 = Tau/Ari Jan.1 = 18Ari37 Jan.10 = 8Ari51 Jan.19/20 = Ari/Pis Jan.30 = 20Pis54 Feb.10 = 8Pis37 Feb.15 = Pis/Aqu

As Neat leaves the inner solar system its path through the zodiac starts to narrow again skirting the Taurus-Gemini sector of the tropical zodiac. This time it stays longer in Taurus than in does in Gemini.

2004 Jan.1 = 13Tau02 Feb.1 = 11Tau43 Mar.1 = 14Tau10 Apr.1 = 18Tau45 May 1 = 23Tau55 Jun.1 = 29Tau11 Jun 6 = Tau/Gem Jul.1 = 3Gem31 Aug.1 = 6Gem32 Sep.1 = 7Gem16 Oct.1 = 5Gem13 Nov.1 = 0Gem23 Nov.3 = Gem/Tau Dec.1 = 24Tau45

Way past Jupiter, Neat is now viewable in a narrow band of the ecliptic from late tropical Taurus to very early Gemini. The band will continue to narrow straddling the Taurus-Gemini border for thouands of years to come.

"Comet" NEAT blasted by a solar flare(coronal mass) on Feb.18,2003
Definitely looks like a craft of some kind


The famous "eye"(top right) -sign of divine intervention?

There is an obvious suppression of knowledge concerning this comet or planetary body called NEAT. A search on the internet will prove this to be so. What are the scientists and leaders of this world hiding? It's obviously of great import. The scant knowledge I was able to find and select is partly reproduced below.

First there is some statistical info provided by Wikipedia...

Statistics on Comet NEAT

I find it unbeleivable that they were unable to give it a size. Soho had a clear view of it. This immediately tells me NEAT must have been unnacceptably HUGE. Also, the orbital period may be exaggerated. How about 3700 years?

Both Prof. James McCanney and esoteric physicist Nassim Haramein allude to the possibility that Neat may have indeed been planet X or Nibiru and that a clampdown of information kept this from becoming public.

Why does Neat straddle tightly between the tropical Taurus-Gemini border for most of its orbit? Does this have any connection with with the star Alcyone which recently went from Taurus to Gemini in 2000 AD(2-3 years before NEAT was discovered)?
