Planet X: SLOWING Rotation 1

Below is a note another member of our Troubled Times group got from
someone in the Navy, at least that’s what he claimed.
(http://www.zetatalk.com/theword/tword17n.htm) He was implying that the
Navy statistics were OUT OF SYNC with the actual full moon face.  Am I
understanding correctly that 98% Gibbous means 98% full?  He is saying
that the Navy statistics give a nice proper day/time period between full
moons, 29.5 days apx between a full moon on Jan 1, 1999 PM to Jan 31,
1999 AM.

But then on Feb 28th there is a full moon!  ONLY 28 DAYS AT MAX.

A short month?  The statistics from the Navy data base show that the
full moons range between 29.50 and 29.55 or so, NOT 28 days to the AM of
Feb 28th, or 28.5 days to the PM of Feb 28th, or 28.75 to midnight of
the 28th (Frank did not indicate the time of the 98% Gibbous moon).
