The Moon does a slow spin as it seems glued to the surface of Earth in
some manner.  Which is of course what causes spin in any case, an
attraction or repulsion between objects free to move.  But there is a
different between a DELIBERATE spin given to a probe or satellite, which
would otherwise not spin, such that momentum keeps this man-made spin
going, and an out-of-control spin caused by other factors which man does
not understand, which is what the Zetas were referring to below:

I doubt this is the only time something threatened to spin
out-of-control, as frankly the trajectory of probes is periodically in
need of adjustment by their little jets, and I suspect satellites too,
so some sort of OTHER spin or attraction/repulsion factors are at play
that man does not understand.

    The spin is in the TAIL as a WHOLE, not each 
    individual moon or hunk of trash in the tail.  Treat the 
    tail as a skater on the ice, arms out or hugged close, in a 
    spin.  We will ask our emissary, Nancy, to repost our  
    explanation of tornadoes, big or small, and the cause 
    of this, in explanation for the behavior of the tail.
