UFO sightings will vanish in the ex files
The Times, 29th February 2010

The Ministry of Defence will destroy future reports of UFOs to prevent them from being made public, a memo has revealed.

The British UFO investigation unit and hotline were closed at the start of December. Since then reports have been kept for 30 days. It means that details of sightings will be exempt from freedom of information laws. The memo said that an increase in reports had diverted staff from “more valuable” defence-related activities. The MoD had 634 reports of sightings last year, the highest total since 1978.

The MoD is releasing its past UFO files through the National Archives. Five instalments have been made public, which is about a third of the total. [...] The UFO expert said that the MoD’s new policy on destroying reports would make it much more difficult to uncover the truth about incidents in the future. “It’s like they’re desperately trying to avoid having to answer FoI requests on this subject,” he said. “Even if something quite serious happened, perhaps where there was a near-miss with an airline, the MoD will say, ‘we may have had a report on it, but we’ve destroyed it’.”

Comment: It's now two years since the mainstream press noted the huge rise in UFO sightings and I suppose the UK MOD is seen as an official body that has the power to confirm the existence of another lifeform on this planet and they don't want to take that responsibility. At this moment in time, due to the Space Weather onslaught, we can only presume that the evolution of spacetime is still happening, the veil is still lifting and soon it will become obvious to all and sundry that our reality has fundamentally changed. Curiously, some in the mainstream have already worked this out and they did not need help from the metaphysical community, which I find very interesting.

The Al Gore Comedy Hour
Pajamas Media, 28th February 2010

True, Al Gore has positively cleaned up by exploiting the business opportunities that have come his way from the Chruch of Gaia, I’m Greener-than-thou, Inc. The London Telegraph describes him as our “first carbon billionaire.” “There’s gold in them there faked studies, pardner!” Gore’s successful gaming of the system argues for a certain cunning and eye for the main chance. The guy has hauled in an impressive pile of pelf these last few years.

But that success says nothing about his sanity. Alas, the chap is clearly bonkers. I submit as exhibit A the interminable Op-Ed column that his PR-firm, a.k.a. the New York Times, issued today. Here’s the first paragraph:

It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.

“Unimaginable calamity,” eh? “Large-scale, preventive measures,” you say? “Human civilization as we know it”? Chicken Little time, what?

Comment: It looks like all the criticism has got to Al Gore, but the backlash from his "Hissy Fit" in the New York Times by pundits has been merciless.

Al Gore's Personality Disorder: Is the former vice president not-so-secretly a narcissistic, shameless phony?
Forbes, 1st March 2010
Ouch!

Jimbo (01:44:12) : Al Gore caught out telling more lies 2 and 3 March. The media have gotten onto him at last. source

Gore says:
“…scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere…”

New York Post says: “In late January, Scientific American reported: “A mysterious drop in water vapor in the lower stratosphere might be slowing climate change,” source

Gore says: “an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.”

Investors.com says: “Perhaps he’s trying to protect his investments as he knows them, for he is heavily involved in enterprises that deal with carbon offsets and green technology. If the case for climate change is shown to be demonstrably false, a lot of his green evaporates like moisture from the ocean.” source

Ex Police officers see large orange ball in the sky - Peterborough [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 28th February 2010

Feb.28, 2010 in Devon
Location of Sighting: Peterborough, Cambs Woodston
Date of Sighting:24 feb 2010, Time:2130,
Witness Name: Mark

Witness Statement: At approx 2130hrs on the 24/02/10, my wife and i were stood in the utility room at the back of our house which looks towards Peterborough city centre and is approx 2 mins from the main town bridge. My wife pointed out something that look liked a larger orange ball in the sky at clearly some altitude, as both of us are ex police we assumed it to be the police helicopter which is a regular visitor around this area.

However our attention was caught for the following reasons, firstly the light was far to bright and the wrong type of light (that sounds weird but if you have seent the police spotlight on the chopper as many times as we have you would understand it just wasnt the right density, colour or shape) secondly the noise, there wasnt any and thirdly the height was wrong, this object was at a high altitude and its flight was to smooth to be the helicopter. The object also changed its flight path quite sharply in comparison to any aircraft i know, (although i'm not an expert). We watched the object heading west for at least a minute if not slightly longer before the light went completely out and the object appeared to shoot straight up.

Comment: This is a nice report from ex-police (trained observers). I am wondering when is it going to sink in that our reality has changed and that many people have been duped about the true nature of the UFO phenomenon. The metaphysical community should have been well aware about the true nature of most UFOs, but it seems to me that maybe a few in the know were drown out by others focusing on "enlightenment" as a business venture, so there is not much light if you known what I mean... Personally, I would love to find someone who made verifiable predictions that this would happen. So, there are a lot of 'gurus' out there and there has been a lot of chatter about the veil lifting for years, but ubiquitous bright orange balls of light as well as the pearly white orbs often seen in South America, besides the rest of of the spectrum were NOT detailed to my knowledge.... Quite frankly, the situation we face now is mind boggling and what's more we don't know how much more interesting things will get...

Bright Lights that Hypnotize: Mysterious Aerial Illuminations
Mysterious Universe, 27th February 2010

[...] But what happens when you have locations around the world where anomalous activity not only occurs repeatedly, but predictably?

One such area is the Lineville Gorge, nestled in the Black Mountain Range in Western North Carolina. Although the Southeastern United States is home to a variety of strange phenomenon that captivates the area locals (and researchers abroad), near the vicinity of Brown Mountain, a long, looming ridge in the heart of the Gorge, a spectacular display of “ghost lights” can be seen on a frequent basis which continue to defy rational explanation.

Dubbed “The Brown Mountain Lights” by the locals, the lights are actually seen all throughout the Lineville Gorge, and are variously described as bright, glowing orbs of colored light that manifest and drift slowly upward, sometimes behaving so strangely that witnesses have been led to wonder whether they might somehow be “controlled” by external forces.

Comment: In the United States, mysterious orbs have been traditionally called Spooklights and there are certain mountainous regions where they have been seen for hundreds of years. There is a short clip [4:06] here of a National Geographic documentary that will be shown soon. In the short video clip, the researchers are fascinated because an orb/UAP appears bluish white but their night vision cameras are supposed to only show green or black as colour! I have no idea if these "researchers" are real scientists, but it took international groups of scientists at Hessdalen, Norway decades before they were prepared to tell the world that the light phenomena at the remote mountain valleys of Hessdalen were real and "unique to science". However, things have moved on. Orbs and UAPs are no longer restricted to remote mountain valleys, as they can be now seen flying around metropolitan areas, worldwide....

Institute of Physics on Climategate
Watts Up With That, 27th February 2010

Here’s something rather astonishing. The Institute of Physics, has made a statement about climate science.

The Institute of Physics is a scientific charity devoted to increasing the practice, understanding and application of physics. It has a worldwide membership of over 36,000 and is a leading communicator of physics-related science to all audiences, from specialists through to government and the general public. Its publishing company, IOP Publishing, is a world leader in scientific publishing and the electronic dissemination of physics.

IOP issued a no holds barred statement on Climategate to the UK Parliamentary Committee. Here’s the key passages:

Comment: Here the IOP has placed the emphasis back on the issue of the abuse of the scientific method and the implications for the scientific community as a whole. Therefore, this statement to the UK Parliamentary Committee will been seen as resetting the bar for what science is supposed to be about, something akin to restating Holy Orders that some might have lost sight of in recent years. Hence, many commentators at WUWT were totally delighted with this statement. However, the University of E. Anglia have not had any kind of epiphany about honesty and transparency yet, so we see the following headline on the same day.

University ‘tried to mislead MPs on climate change e-mails’
The Times, 27th February 2010
"The university at the centre of the climate change row over stolen e-mails has been accused of making a misleading statement to Parliament."

Guru in Ariz. sweat lodge deaths released
KSWT News, 26th February 2010

A motivational speaker charged with manslaughter for the deaths of 3 people was released from jail Friday. James Arthur Ray walked out of a Camp Verde jail at 11:10 a.m., according to Yavapai County Jail Sgt. Dee Huntley. Ray gained his freedom after Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Warren Darrow lowered Ray's bond Thursday from $5 million to $525,000. Ray has pleaded not guilty to three counts of manslaughter stemming from a sweat lodge ceremony he led near Sedona in October.

Comment: James Ray is out on bail but he has immediately started to regain his psychological stranglehold over his followers, so people are now following his tweets and interpreting the intent for those who are not so familiar with this kind of manipulation, see James Arthur Ray - 2 die at Arizona retreat's sweat lodge pg 64.

I have spent hundreds of hours now studying the techniques used by modern guru salespersons and it is not easy and straight forward. However, after going through some major threads at the Cult Education Forum one will realise that these fraudsters literally crack people open like a safe and re-engineer their understanding of reality, hooking their victims to them for life. This requires a sociopath with superior intelligence and expertise that requires practice, no wonder he called himself a "Practical Mystic", because what he does is a complete mystery to more than 99.9% of people. What's interesting is that breaking people down by hooking into people's personal trauma is being done in many different spiritual circles, often by people with no qualifications in psychotherapy and therefore cannot handle some people who get severely retraumatised, hence the suicides that can occur.

The best piece of advice I have come across is that if you are encouraged to go to a self-development seminar, is to check out the disclaimers. Any mention of injury or even death, run for your life because these people have seen it over and over again and they consider people having breakdowns to be just collateral damage. I have been truely informed by what is going on and totally amazed that the New Age community is habouring these fraudsters -- of coure that's because most have zero understanding of what they do. Anyway, if you have any suspicions about a particlar spiritual leader, it is worth doing a background check using the internet, it might just save you a lot of heartache and mental stress. Let's say, I am no longer interested in people who seek to the blame the victim after it is becomes clear that someone has been savaged by a sociopath, psychopath, malignant narcissist or predator.

UFOs are just sky laterns
Barking & Dagenham Post News, 26th February 2010

A UFOLOGIST has admitted that mysterious orange lights repeatedly seen in the night sky could be nothing more than Chinese lanterns.

Roy Lake, 71, of the London UFO Studies group, said the "glows" spotted in Dagenham since October could be cheap sky lanterns let off in groups before suddenly "vanishing" when their candles go out.

In the latest sighting, in the early hours of February 14, Karen Gray was shocked to see several orange orbs over the Heathway that disappeared after three minutes.

On Boxing Day, Linda Hunt, 60, saw four orange lights going along the same trajectory within minutes, supporting the theory they may have been lanterns blown off by winds after being let off, perhaps as a prank.

Comment: As many ufologists will state, some among their midst are there to discredit sightings and this person obviously has never seen one of these bright orbs because they look nothing like Chinese lanterns and many witnesses have made this comment including trained observers and pilots. Here I would like to refer to the image used with this article. As some will note, I don't often talk about dark triangular sightings with bright lights that some think are obviously craft but I would like to point out that the UK MOD [Ministry of Defence] as part of it's own research believes that these are 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena' or plasma entities, where the dark or black area is due to a "nulled" magnetic field caused by the presence of the plasma in the triangular geometry. This has been also noted by experts in magnetism on a different scale too. As I have stated before, there are plenty of examples of these orbs breaking away from these triangles and it seems to be a preferred way to travel. This is a copy of the image that can be found on the 2nd page of Volume 1 of the report, 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Defence Region' [2000], codenamed The Condign Report, here. Yes, this image is amazing, but it is recommended that you take the trouble to read the report yourself so that you can be convinced that these black triangles in the sky with huge lights are not spacecraft, but plasma entities with peculiar properties of how they can effect energies around them through magnetism. I don't know why ufologists are ignoring the UK MOD but one has to assume that they have ZERO interest in understanding that there is another lifeform on this planet with a completerly different modus operandi. As we are experiencing an evolution of spacetime (that nobody on this planet has the power to stop) and the veil lifts, we are literally moving into a new dispensation or reality where there can be no more denial that there is another lifeform that exists on this planet.

Storm batters Europe, at least 51 dead
CNN, 28th February 2010

A winter storm named "Xynthia" battered the western coast of Europe Sunday, its high winds downing trees and power lines and leaving as many as 51 people dead, authorities said.

Hardest hit was France, where at least 45 people were killed, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon announced.

The extra-tropical cyclone whipped the country's coastal regions and moved inland, bringing sometimes heavy flooding with it.

"It's a national catastrophe," Fillon said in a brief news conference. "Many people drowned, surprised by the rapid rise of the water."

Comment: BBC: Storm Track Map. I think this can be added to the list of 'coincides' that some are linking to the celestial events of the last week.

It's raining fish ... no really
NT News, 28th February 2010

WHILE the Top End and Central Australia have been battered by torrential rains, a Territory town has had fish falling from the sky.

The freak phenomena happened not once, but twice, on Thursday and Friday afternoon about 6pm at Lajamanu, about 550km southwest of Katherine.

NEWSBREAKER Christine Balmer, who took these photos of the fish on the ground and in a bucket, had to pinch herself when she was told ``hundreds and hundreds" of small white fish had fallen from the sky. "It rained fish in Lajamanu on Thursday and Friday night," she said, "They fell from the sky everywhere. "Locals were picking them up off the footy oval and on the ground everywhere.

"These fish were alive when they hit the ground." [...] "It's a very unusual event," he said. "With an updraft, (fish and water picked up) could get up high - up to 60,000 or 70,000 feet. "Or possibly from a tornado over a large water body - but we haven't had any reports," he said.

Comment: Yes, the high strangeness is at Fortean levels now... Of course, nothing new, but I would imagine we should be looking at the the frequencey of such events.

Animal X Video clip! [5:26] Fish Fall At Lajamanu Mention of 1984 fish falls in London too! Scientists can only talk about tornadoes and water spouts but usually there is NEVER any reports of tornadoes or water spouts. What's more, fish and frogs travelling great distances is a bizarre explanation as often they are still alive and fresh and can be safely eaten! As far as I am concerned, an hypersidimensional explanation is far more believable, and explains frogs found embedded in rocks during mining that suddenly come alive and often reamin live for some time. Don't believe those who simply repeat the dogma, find out what alternative thinkers have to say! See, Raining Fish and Frogs: Legend or History?

PURPLE HAZE: Veszprem, Hungary
Spaceweather.com, 27th February 2010

[Copy] "I was work early yesterday, just before local sunrise, when I looked out the window," says Monika Landy-Gyebnar of Veszprem, Hungary. "What I saw made me wonder if someone had put something 'extra' in my coffee." The landscape was blanketed by an intense purple fog:

" I asked my colleague, who's not a coffee drinker, if he also saw the unbelievable color and he said 'yes.' I took some pictures and they also had the same color. So it was reality, not a psychedelic vision." What caused this strange apparition?

It was the sunrise. "Using some weather webcams, I looked around the city and saw that other places without fog were also purple, pink and red," she continues. "Colorful sunrise rays were painting everything. The scattering of this light by tiny water droplets in the fog was truly wonderful!" "Today's fog reminded me that the 43rd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze is just around the corner. It was first released on March 17, 1967."

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Comment: Yes, it's getting stranger and stranger... If air, (nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor) is converted to a plasma, it becomes pinkish purple, if nitrogen and oygen are converted to a plasma it becomes purple so we have to assume that in Hungary, dry air became ionised and how that came about can only be speculated about, but there are places where this happens naturally see Roan Mountain Purple Fog. Interestingly, at www.science-frontiers.com/ run by William R. Corliss famed for his research into unusual phenomena, he has no entry for purple fog and that is weird because he has been collating rare atmospheric and meteorological phenomena recorded over the last 750 years. I have got some of his books and his catalogs are online, so there is purple light that occurs just a few minutes before sunsets and sunrises due to light being scattered by dust, anomalous purple lights in the skies, purple ball lightning and purple rainbows but no purple fog! What's more, checking the internet we now have examples of a purple sun which is also not in his catalogs. I will do some more fact checking when I have time. Hmmm....

We can also muse on the quote from last week: "Normally the auroras come and fade, but now it's like someone is constantly feeding a fire."

"We are tracking a very strong connection between the collapse of the magnetic filament that was tracked all last week, the 3 simultaneous CMEs that were recorded from the moment of the collapse, these Auroras and the Chilean Earthquake on 2/27/2010."

Chile earthquake kills 78 and triggers tsunami
Times Online, 27th February 2010

A massive earthquake has hit the coast of Chile, killing dozens of people, flattening buildings and triggering a tsunami.

The 8.8-magnitude quake, the country’s largest in 25 years, shook the capital Santiago for a minute and half at 3:34am (6:34am GMT) today. A tsunami warning has been extended across 53 countries, including most of Central and South America and as far as Australia, Hawaii and Antarctica. The wave has already caused serious damage to the sparsely populated Juan Fernandez islands, off the Santiago coast, and is now travelling across the ocean at several hundred km per hour. The death toll in Chile has reached 78 and is still rising according to President Michelle Bachelet, who has declared a “state of catastrophe” in the country. Calling for calm from an emergency response centre, the outgoing president said: “We have had a huge earthquake, with some aftershocks.

Comment: Another massive earthquake with probably more to come. The Earth is getting hammered by celestial forces and the scientific literature assures us that earthquakes are to be expected.
The problem with all the books written about disasters and Apocalypse is that we are now reaping what we have sown. There does not seem to be any great understanding that human conciousness was being monitored and that the Earth's EM Grid was fixed to match, if the grid is not coping then that is because the consciousness of humans was not high enough. We are 'judged' as a collective. The 'I'm alright Jack' mentality is NO GOOD when Earth is facing a celestial onslaught. Universal forces are not particularly interested in bank accounts or social position. I am sorry if you don't understand this, but as far as I am concerned, quality spiritual teachers have been lacking, replaced by those with good marketing skills. More

TV: CNN International Tsunami Coverage
- Chile quake confirmed the 7th largest earthquake ever recorded world-wide...
- CNN Expert does a brilliant comparison between Chile and Haiti earthquakes. In Chile, a bigger land mass was shaken but Haiti was very localised, hence the 8.8 cannot be directly compared to what happened in Haiti with the 7.0, but we can also note that very few people live in the region of the coast that shifted the most.

Tsunami strikes Chilean island group
RIA NOVOSTI, 27th February 2010

"A 3-meter tsunami wave hit on Saturday the Robinson Crusoe island, the largest in the Chilean Juan Fernandez archipelago, following a powerful earthquake which struck Chile earlier in the day, the country's president, Michelle Bachelet, said.

A 3-meter tsunami wave hit on Saturday the Robinson Crusoe island, the largest in the Chilean Juan Fernandez archipelago, following a powerful earthquake which struck Chile earlier in the day, the country's president, Michelle Bachelet, said.

"A village on the island is half-flooded, people have been evacuated to higher elevations," the president said, adding there had been extreme damage from the tsunami.

The 8.8-magnitude earthquake hit the Latin American country in the early hours of Saturday. The tremor occurred some 89 kilometers (55.3 miles) to the north of Chile's second largest city Concepcion, some 341 kilometers (212 miles) from the capital of Santiago. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center put out a warning along the coastlines of Chile and Peru, and issued a tsunami watch for Colombia, Ecuador, Antarctica, Panama and Costa Rica.

Some 50 nations have been placed under a tsunami advisory. Areas of concern are the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, Australia, and Japan. Russia's Far Eastern region was also advised, but local emergency authorities have stated that the region is in no danger.

Solar Storms Could Be Earth's Next Katrina
NPR News, 26th February 2010

A massive solar storm could leave millions of people around the world without electricity, running water, or phone service, government officials say.

That was their conclusion after participating in a tabletop exercise that looked at what might happen today if the Earth were struck by a solar storm as intense as the huge storms that occurred in 1921 and 1859.

Solar storms happen when an eruption or explosion on the surface of the sun sends radiation or electrically charged particles toward Earth. Minor storms are common and can light up the Earth's Northern skies and interfere with radio signals.

Comment: Yes, Space Weather is now a serious potential threat and we have the fulfillment of indigenous prophecy with a New Age dominated by space and the aether. Since I have written about this ad infinitum, I thought would give a quick summary of the "think positive" "group think" that I think has a strong grip on society has a whole. I have now realised that if people don't understand something and they don't like the sound of what they hear, it can now be easily dismissed as "being negative". Worrying about Space Weather is just a waste of energy and can be ignored. The "group think" mentality ignores the fact that there have been messages (mostly from indigenous groups and the metaphysical community) for over 50 years that our world is changing and that we will have to adapt. "Group think" assumes that our wonderful leaders have our best interests at heart, despite the fact it would mean dismantling their current power structures that keeps society struggling and making essential changes to enable us to survive in a New World dominated by space and universal forces. What this means in plain English is the reliance on electricty and a power grid is primitive and we should be now tapping the aether for clean reliable power, but people are killed first rather than consider this even though Space Weather is now a serious threat. There is another major assumption that the geomagnetic environment will stay reliable enough for oil companies to drill, as drilling for oil requires a reliable compass. What is interesting about Space Weather is that it can be seen as a great leveller. If we had a megablast from the Sun or a Magnetar that knocks out power grids around the world, the poor of certain countries would not even notice and would survive, humanity as a whole would survive, but the so-called advanced societies would be crippled. It does not have to happen, but "group think" that we don't have to change is too pervasive. Now if you don't agree with my reasoning, look at the trouble are now having with our satellite communication infrastructure and the problems caused by Space Weather and Space Junk. It is absolutely obvious that nobody dreamt that things would get so extreme, but "Space Weather is now a fact of life" -- Susan Joy Rennison.

Flight canceled after dispute between flight attendants
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 26th February 2010

A Delta Connection flight from Rochester, N.Y., to Atlanta was canceled after an altercation between two flight attendants. The flight was operated by Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines.

A Pinnacle Airlines spokesman, Joe Williams, told the Associated Press the spat erupted just as Delta Connection Flight 887 returned to the gate Thursday morning after a passenger became ill.

YNN Rochester, a cable news Web site, quoted a passenger, Steve Mazur, who said the two female attendants "got into a fistfight on the plane. The pilot decided to kick everyone off the plane.”

Comment: The old headline was: Flight canceled after flight attendants brawl and then the headline was updated, I suppose due to the bad publicity.... Well, I have not seen a report of a fight between flight attendents for a few months...Pilots and flight attendents are now working in extreme electromagnetic conditions where they can become vulnerable to becoming mentally unbalanced. These days, it's easy to check the facts as the state of the Earth's magnetic field can be viewed online and virtually every day, we can witness the Earth's magnetic field being completely distorted by severe space weather. Geomagnetic storms and mental health was discussed in my book but the geomagnetic environment has got a whole lot worse since I did my original research. Hence the need to strengthen the human energy field to act a shield to counteract a chaotic electromagnetic environment. This is also explained in my book and has become even more important as we learn through press releases from the world's space agencies.

James Ray Death Lodge interview: Spiritual Warrior 2008
Speculative Examiner, 26th February 2010

In case anybody has been forgetting what really happened at James Ray’s events, let’s take a look at a police interview with a participant from the James Ray Spiritual Warrior 2008 retreat.

"Det. Diskin: In 2008 I understand you were in the sweat lodge. Can you tell me what problems that you saw?" "Yeah, inside a sweat lodge it's hard 'cause it's so dark. I was on the hot side, you know totally opposite the door where Kirby [Brown] and James [Shore] and the other people who had trouble were sitting. I didn't find much relief sitting back there but I remember one girl trying to get out and she was talking, repeating the same thing over again and James [Ray] told her to be quiet but she kept talking as she was moving toward the door to get out. I stayed in the whole time and when I came out I asked one of the Dream Team members, I said somebody go get James Ray right now cause I'm gonna die. Of course my request was ignored, and from that point I was hosed down with water, I was a mess. [...]

"Det. Diskin: You thought that you were dying and you wanted him with to be there while you died?" "Yes, yes, absolutely, but he had gotten in his car and had already left." [...]

"He's not who he said he was, he doesn't have the credentials that he said he did. He's used mind manipulation, coercion, persuasion with (Inaudible) programming. You know, he's, he's not the person at all that I thought he was."

Comment: The more reports you read about James Ray, the more you realise the extent of his devious and callous behaviour. What's more, you realise there are others out there with the exact same mentality and 'the followers' who don't realise that their minds are being re-engineered by some very dark practices. Here is the photo from the James Ray school of enlightenment. It makes you wonder if people really thought he was serious.... Harmonic Wealth Weekend - March 2009

(These comments have been moved from an earlier posting about science.) Now I wish that more of effort could be made to police the New Age community and some intellectual discussion about what can be done. I am thrilled that posters at the Cult Education forum has realised that a lot of scammers have moved into the New Age community and upgraded the role of a fake guru. Thus, many are being enlightened about how once ethical techniques have been perverted and now hypnosis and persuasion tactics are now being used on people without their acknowledgement. But quite frankly, it's the sheer dishonesty and lack of integrity that is bothering me. Even when Oprah called out James Frey for the factual untruths in his book "A Million Little Pieces", prominent New Wager Wayne Dyer said that he would have still published this fake memoir with all the lies! What? The problem is that crap sells very well in the New Age world and many have little interest in reality. I can't wait for James Ray to go to trial, hopefully, the prosecutors will have done their homework on the techniques he was using and at least some more of the thinking public can be educated. I realise that many New Agers refuse to think, but once people have switched off certain circuits in the brain, there is very little anyone can do until something jolts them back into reality. At the moment, I am still researching what has been happening and trying to deal with my own shock at just how bad things are... Btw, if there are people wondering why I am focusing on the criminal element in the New Wage world, we have to consider why when we are experiencing the greatest transition in the history of mankind, prominent New Wagers seem to have zero interest, to the extent that when the Obama Administration ask some pertinent questions about "planetary challenges" that will cause evolutionary change, prominent New Wagers confess they don't know what the hell is going on, but they would find out if they were given some cash! PATHETIC! PATHETIC! PATHETIC!

Singing 'rewires' damaged brain
Inland News, 26th February 2010

Teaching stroke patients to sing "rewires" their brains, helping them recover their speech, say scientists.

By singing, patients use a different area of the brain from the area involved in speech. If a person's "speech centre" is damaged by a stroke, they can learn to use their "singing centre" instead. Researchers presented these findings at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in San Diego. An ongoing clinical trial, they said, has shown how the brain responds to this "melodic intonation therapy".

Gottfried Schlaug, a neurology professor at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, led the trial. The therapy is already established as a medical technique. Researchers first used it when it was discovered that stroke patients with brain damage that left them unable to speak were still able to sing. [...]

"Music engages huge swathes of the brain, it's not just lighting up a spot in the auditory cortex."

Comment: Most people associate singing with being happy but it seems that singing gives the brain a work out too. It makes you wonder about the effects of singing in church and choirs and whether there are enhanced effects.

Fireball lights up sky north of Winnipeg
Winnipeg Free Press, 25th February 2010

WINNIPEG — People looking up at the sky early this morning might have seen a strange sight — a fireball, shooting across the sky, which Manitoba Planetarium astronomer Scott Young said might have left debris behind.

"It looks like a fireworks display," said Young. "One report said it was greenish in color." There have been numerous reports of people seeing a ball of fire streak across the sky around 6:30 a.m. near the Birds Hill Park area, north of Winnipeg. [...]

"Smaller versions of this happen every day in the world," Young said. "But it's pretty rare for someone to see something as big as this."

Myron Witnicki witnessed the fireball when he was driving into work from Birds Hill to St. Andrews down Provincial Road 202. He said he saw something in the sky at around 6:50 a.m. At first he thought it was a plane, but then realized it might be some kind of shooting star. "It streaked left to right like a huge ball in the sky," he said.

Comment: Another ball of fire shooting across the sky. Nobody knows where it came from and nobody knows where it will land, like many other reports in the last few years...

Judith, I love ya, but you’re way wrong …
WUWT, 25th February 2010

[...] First, let me say that the problem is much bigger than Judith seems to think. Wiser men than I have weighed in on this question. In a speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854, Abraham Lincoln said:

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. You may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

So it will not be easy. The confidence is forfeit, that ship has sailed.

The biggest problem with Judith’s proposal is her claim that the issue is that climate scientists have not understood how to present their ideas to the public. Judith, I respect you greatly, but you have grabbed the wrong end of the stick. The problem is not how climate scientists have publicly presented their scientific results. It is not a communication problem.

The problem is that 71.3% of what passes as peer reviewed climate science is simply junk science, as false as the percentage cited in this sentence. The lack of trust is not a problem of perception or communication. It is a problem of lack of substance. Results are routinely exaggerated. “Scientific papers” are larded with “may” and “might” and “could possibly”. Advocacy is a common thread in climate science papers. Codes are routinely concealed, data is not archived. A concerted effort is made to marginalize and censor opposing views. [...]

You want trust? Do good science, and publicly insist that other climate scientists do good science as well. It’s that simple. Do good science, and publicly call out the Manns and the Joneses and the Thompsons and the rest of the charlatans that you are currently protecting. Call out the journals that don’t follow their own policies on data archiving. Speak up for honest science. Archive your data. Insist on transparency. Publish your codes.

Once that is done, the rest will fall in line. And until then, I’m overjoyed that people don’t trust you. I see the lack of trust in mainstream climate science as a huge triumph for real science. Fix it by doing good science and by cleaning up your own backyard. Anything else is a coverup.

Judith, again, my congratulations on being willing to post your ideas in public. You are a rara avis, and I respect you greatly for it.

Comment: At the moment, there is a lot of debate about dealing with the aftermath of Climategate, but here Willis Eschenbach is doing a Dr. Phil and telling those whose heads are still in the clouds, exactly how the scientific community is being perceived by the informed general public. I have always liked this quote (coined by Phineas T. Barnum, the great showman and circus owner and quoted by US president, Abrahanm Lincoln). It would be very useful if this quote is bandied around more, to remind the fraudsters out there that it's very hard to keep a perfect cover.

Al Gore Is Lying Low -- for Good Reason
American Thinker, 24th February 2010

Maybe Al Gore's been advised by legal counsel to lie low. He may be the leader of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) movement, but he's not defending it in public, not even when it's falling apart and his new fortune is based upon it.

Mr. Gore and his financial backers earned millions of dollars in start-up "green" companies and carbon trading schemes. If the scam worked, he could've become the first "carbon billionaire." [...] If more AGW-destroying news rolls in, and if Gore's "green" companies lose significant value, then shareholder derivative lawsuits and/or state RICO lawsuits will follow -- more so as the losses grow.

Mr. Gore is in hiding today -- no longer the "courageous" leader of the AGW movement. Apparently, Planet Earth is "no longer in grave danger" or "needing to be saved," but Gore could lose all of his ill-gotten assets.

If the victim list grows and criminal intent is proven, Mr. Gore could do serious time. After a much smaller scam, Bernie Madoff got 150 years.

Comment: I am not sure the opening statement is correct here, if you think his personal blog is adequate, see below. But since there have been many other similar comments from the anti-AGW crowd, I now think the accusations are fair.

The great filament
WUWT, 24th February 2010

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is tracking an enormous magnetic filament on the sun. It stretches more than one million kilometers from end to end, which makes it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. For the seventh day in a row, an enormous magnetic filament is hanging suspended above the surface of the sun’s southern hemisphere. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has a great view. How long can it last? Solar filaments are unpredictable. If this one collapses and hits the stellar surface, the impact could produce a powerful Hyder flare.

Comment: This is basically a synopsis of what's been going on with the sun and a tutorial on Hyder flares. The 'Great Magnetic Filament' errupted on between 0719 and 1919 UT on Feb. 24th. see, OH, SNAP! which generated a CME see movie and we are told: "If any of this material is heading for Earth--a big unknown!--it should arrive on Feb. 27th or 28th. Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras on those dates." So, we have a huge number of space probes watching the Sun but they can't tell us if a CME is coming our way, just not very good. Btw, NASA made an announcement NASA Unveils New Space-Weather Science Tool, I can't say I am really excited about it.

Space Junk Mess Getting Messier in Orbit
Yahoo News, 23rd February 2010

The already untidy mass of orbital debris that litters low Earth orbit nearly got nastier last month.

A head-on collision was averted between a spent upper stage from a Chinese rocket and the European Space Agency's (ESA) huge Envisat Earth remote-sensing spacecraft. Space junk tracking information supplied by the U.S. military, as well as confirming German radar data, showed that the two space objects would speed by each other at a nail-biting distance of roughly 160 feet (50 meters).

ESA's Envisat tips the scales at 8 tons, with China's discarded rocket body weighing some 3.8 tons. A couple of tweaks of maneuvering propellant were used to nudge the large ESA spacecraft to a more comfortable miss distance. But what if the two objects had tangled?

Such a space collision would have caused mayhem in the heavens, adding clutter to an orbit altitude where there are big problems already, said Heiner Klinkrad, head of the European Space Agency's Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany. It turns out, Klinkrad told SPACE.com, that 50 percent of all the close conjunctions that Envisat faces are due to the lethal leftovers from China's January 2007 anti-satellite test, as well as chunks of junk resulting from last year's smashup between an active U.S. Iridium satellite and a defunct Russian Cosmos spacecraft.

Comment: Apparently, it is quite stressful watching out for collisions between live satellites and space junk, but this situation is the inevitable outcome of a space community that has been very short sighted. With Space Weather dragging satellites and junk out of orbits in a chaotic manner, the Chinese being totally inconsiderate in deliberately blowing up a satellite (but no doubt it was meant to warn another government to not mess with them) and the satellite collision in February 2009, means that the world's satellite infrastructure is much more fragile than many realise. The comparison of debris creating more debris and comparing it to evolution is in my opinion a stretch. By the way, we have to consider how bad things are in space when we get these bizarre reports of massive fiery holes in the ground, cover ups and even locals getting sick (radiation poisoning) after going to investigate a crash.

Orb Festival over Glasgow [Scotland UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 23rd February 2010

Location of Sighting: Glasgow East End
Date of Sighting: 22/02/2010, Time: 10:35 – 10:45
Witness Name: Chloe, Holly, John Brolly (for real?)

Witness Statement: we all witnessed the same shape objects as reported on 14/02/2010 at Chapelhall (picture provided by witness moblie phone on that report) there were 7 of the same orange objects ‘A’ shaped..these were viewed initially at a stand still and just looked like fireballs in the sky prior to their irrational movements up, down and from side to side. They came together then were still again before spliting up and going in different directions before disappearing!!

Comment: Lots of orange lights in the sky. Yes, people are reporting a plethora of other types of sightings, but since I have now seen one of these bright orange orbs, I can now see why people are amazed and many people are reporting their own encounters. In some of the reports below, the orbs are flying in formation like geese.

United Kingdom

Bright orange light in the sky - Bootle liverpool [UK]
“lit up the clouds around it, like a corona”

Orange sphere shaped object moving through the sky - W. Lothian, Scotland [UK]
"Several cars as well as my own stopped to witness this object" Orb stopped traffic...

'UFO' spotted over Whitehaven town centre [UK]
Bright orange object above the town centre

Video: Dunbartonshire man films 'UFO' over the Campsies [Scotland, UK]
"Mr Donnan dismissed the possibility that the object was either an aircraft or a Chinese lantern, the reason for many 'UFO' sightings, saying that the object appeared too large, and that the light wsa too bright to be a Chinese lantern and that the lights did not correspond to the usual lights displayed by an aircraft." It was an orb but NOT orange!

12 Orange lights moving slowly over London West 2 East [UK]
"Looked like a zig zag pattern"

A seagull shaped outline of very bright lights moving across the sky at a very fast pace - Wakefield W. Yorks [UK]

Dinner party folk see orange lights as entrée - Beverley, E. Yorks [UK]
"... my wife and I were getting ready to go to a neighbour’s for dinner...."

A bright orange ball of light? A plane was on fire? Perhaps a meteor? - Billesley, Birmingham [UK]
"It then seemed to stop, hover, and turned at a right angle and took off upward, like a plane taking of from mid air. I thought it may have been a helicopter at this point, but there was no sound." This woman has obviously not heard about the magic lanterns that are now causing havoc in the UK....

20 – 30 red/orange bright stars in a star formation - Deighton, South of York [UK]
"There were smaller white lights that were moving different to the orange ones a lot faster. They all disappeared when a very fast moving jet or plane flew past. Followed by what seemed our entire Airforce. Something was up there and it certainly wasn’t British." No, I would say they were Interdimensional.

UFO spotted over Hatfield [UK]
"a number of dancing red lights in the firmament over the town." What's wrong with using the word sky, maybe they want to confuse a few....

Huge orange fireball in the sky - Kidderminster, Worcestershire [UK]
"I am pretty certain it was not a plane crashing as that would have lost height and this seemed to be at a very high altitude and not dropping at all. Maybe a huge meteor???" Hmmmm....

Video: 'A' Formation Seen over Cardiff, Wales [UK] - February 19th 2010.
Direct link YouTube

United States

What Were Those Strange Lights? - Mid-lake area of Toledo Bend, Texas [US]
"The flares were sometimes seen in pairs or singularly and remained aloft form many minutes before going out. There were also reports of sightings in the Fairmount area."

MUFON: sheriff's office confirms military flares over Texas [US]
We will see if they can keep this excuse up! I did not know that flares could travel in tandem, maybe they are special military ones that cost 100x more than normal...

Helicopters chase 'pulsating red light' UFO at tree top level over Oregon [US]
"It was one very large red pulsing light, but there also seemed to be a smaller red light on its side, and was pulsing as well, but differently and very fast." Then the object made a 45 degree turn and moved toward them."

Witnesses in 2 states see UFO as 'staggered' set of lights [Nebraska & Arizona, US]
"My husband and I went out to smoke a cigarette and I looked up in the sky and saw a bunch of orangish-red lights in a row in the sky. At first, I thought 'oh my god, are we under attack?' but then realized it was something 'different'." Typical; 'It's all about me!'

Texas witnesses report UFO chase along Highway 73 near Winnie, Chambers County, Texas [US]
"phenominas" LOL!! Now this is a good story but OTT. However, reports of balls of light chasing cars and other vehicles are nothing new, so we can easily find some wonderful old stories of Min Min lights chasing settlers on horseback in the outback of Australia. One can only presume that these are "critters" having some fun.

Amateur astronomer reports bright red lights in triangle formation
"I was on the way home from church and was heading West out of Fort Smith on Hwy 64 and turned North on Hwy 64D and noticed looking East directly over Fort Smith a bright triangle pattern. [...] I called a co- worker who lives about 22 miles to the South Southwest of Fort Smith in Cameron, Ok. He immediatly saw the object due East of his house as soon as he walked out. He also was amazed how intense the red lights were and described the pattern exactly the same as I saw it. This confirmed my belief the object was far East of Fort Smith at an high altitude for us to both see the exact pattern shape." Good report.

Please note about these formations that are more clearly seen with night vision cameras that some claim are birds or geese, but people see with the naked eye as glowing orange/red. These formations are described as being like an 'A', pylon, tick, 'V', 'W' 'T' diagonal/triangular, it does not mean that they are craft and on many occasions these orbs change their patterns and we can only assume that in some cases they are aware they are being watched and are making the changes for our education. Please remember this is a very diverse ecology with a wide range of intelligences, therefore not all these orbs can be described as "critters".

Brown Physicist Discovers Odd, Fluctuating Magnetic Waves
Brown University News, 23rd February 2010

Brown University physicist Vesna Mitrovic and colleagues at Brown and in France have discovered magnetic waves that fluctuate when exposed to certain conditions in a superconducting material. The discovery may help scientists understand more fully the relationship between magnetism and superconductivity at the quantum level. Results are published in Physical Review Letters.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — At the quantum level, the forces of magnetism and superconductivity exist in an uneasy relationship. Superconducting materials repel a magnetic field, so to create a superconducting current, the magnetic forces must be strong enough to overcome the natural repulsion and penetrate the body of the superconductor. But there's a limit: Apply too much magnetic force, and the superconductor’s capability is destroyed.

This relationship is pretty well known. But why it is so remains mysterious. Now physicists at Brown University have documented for the first time a quantum-level phenomenon that occurs to electrons subjected to magnetism in a superconducting material.

Comment: Since space scientists are investigating superconducting magnets to generate magnetic fields to protect astronauts in spacecraft in the highly radioactive environment of space and the human energy field is capable of attracting superconducting particles of light that occurs in the process of spiritual evolution, and in effect creates a cosmic shield amongst other benefits of an enhanced energy field, this research is of great interest. Yes, the science is complex but the universe is not limited by human intellectual constraints.

The Goracle Forecast: AGW=More snow
WUWT, 23rd February 2010

With all the climate deniers spreading lies about the climate crisis in the media, it’s vital we arm ourselves with the facts. Thankfully, Repower America put together a great fact sheet explaining the relationship between the climate crisis and extreme weather:

“Fact: Climate change causes more frequent and severe snowstorms Record snowstorms need two things: temperatures below freezing, and very high humidity. On a planet warmer by a few degrees on average, the Northeast US will still have plenty of days below freezing; the big difference will be warmer seas producing higher levels of moisture in the air – and therefore more severe cold-season storms.”

“Fact: We can expect more extreme weather Scientists tell us that climate change has already led to more extreme weather in the United States and we can expect stronger hurricanes, more wildfires, heatwaves and droughts, to name a few.”

Comment: I have been ignoring most of the reports about record breaking snow but it's hard to resist Al Gore's attempts at damage limitation. Here, Al Gore may not be completely wrong about extreme weather as part of climate change but as we all know weather variability is normal and those with long memories can always cite extreme weather events in the past. Warning: The WUWT board are very scathing here and the word "idiot" has been thrown around but quite frankly, meteorologists do not understand all the factors that generate the weather, so those trying to scold/diss Al Gore may need to be a bit kinder, despite all his political maneuvering. However, I will give this quote:

Luís (00:47:54) : “One thing Gore doesn’t mention: El Nino. Wonder why?”

Maybe because El Niño has nothing to do with it?

The first chart of this post clearly shows the snow records to the east of Rockies, so it would be better if an explanation was presented on how sea surface temperature in another aerological unit can influence precipitation at the heart of the North American high pressure channel.

Gore’s original post is the traditional produce of someone ignorant of the dynamics of weather and climate. First of all, for precipitation to occur perturbations must exist to transform precipitable potential into precipitation. An increase in precipitation is a consequence of an increase of perturbations, meaning a speed up of meridional circulation. Both this accelerated circulation and the decrease in height of the rain/snow threshold are symptoms of increased thermal deficit at the Arctic, not the contrary, as Gore proposes. Precipitable potential is at its highest in Summer, is then when it rains or snows more?

“With all the climate deniers spreading lies about the climate crisis in the media, it’s vital we arm ourselves with the facts.”

Reply
Steve Keohane (04:04:51) :

Luís (00:47:54) : An El Nino pushes the storm track south across the southern US, thus Texas and Florida are getting snow, it’s a typical El Nino pattern. The graphic is correct.

UFO was sighted off Boston coast
This is Boston.co.uk, 23rd February 2010

copy: POLICE officers and a ship's crew witnessed rotating multi-coloured lights in the sky near the coast of Boston. The corroborated sightings were documented in a detailed RAF investigation in files released last week by the Ministry of Defence.

Police officers in Boston and Skegness saw the UFOs above the North Sea on October 5 1996 and contacted the coastguards who in turn alerted ships in the area. The lights were also observed by the crew of a ship in The Wash and simultaneously air defence radars at RAF Neatishead in Norfolk detected an unidentified blip over Boston. But the RAF report concluded that the radar imagery was caused by Boston Stump's spire.

It read: "The church spire is known in aviation circles as the Boston Stump and appears occasionally on some radars in certain radar propagation conditions."

But the lights in The Wash area were harder to explain and were suggested to be "a distant celestial source". The report read: "The lights in The Wash area were observed from three separate locations high above the horizon and in the same general direction, but without corroborating radar data.

"No associated air vehicle was detected by civil or military radars. This suggests a distant celestial source. "There were no corroborating radar returns for the visual sightings."

Comment: There have been various reports debunking this sighting as if the local coastguard and the local police were complete and utter idiots. The background to this story is well known and the police actually climbed onto a roof and took video so please ignore all the other stupid reports by the mainstream press. "Boston stump" was the radar operator's name for the fact that the famous church spire was known for generating St Elmo's fire, which is an electrical discharge and it can cause stationary bright lights in the skies usually for many hours. There are many examples of these bright electrical discharges that regularly appear all over the world and again we have another plasma phenomena caused by geological and atmospheric factors. The suggestion of some lights being caused by a celestial source is intriguing, but it is not clear whether they thought it was some kind of optical illusion. So, it makes you wonder whether military radar operators are aware that occasionally, beams of energy arrive Earth from distant stars which is quite interesting. Whether this was a UFO/UAP or whatever, it would be nice if the Lincolnshire police placed the original video footage on YouTube so we could judge for ourselves what all the fuss was about.

February 22, 2010 Item 2.57: FOIA Request to CIA for Records Pertaining to the Reported UFO-E.T. Craft Emerging from the Sea Near Newfoundland
UFO view, 22nd February 2010

In my capacity - now acknowledged by your office in response to my recent litigation - as a representative of the news media (RNM - principally as a columnist for UFO Magazine), I hereby submit this e-formatted letter as a freedom-of-information request that you send me a photocopy of all CIA-generated and CIA-received records pertaining to the January 25, 2010, observation and photographing of one or more mysterious airborne craft emerging from the ocean near Newfoundland.

Comment: Why don't these ufologists just do some research? The object seen at Newfoundland was a plasma phenomenon and many other similar incidents have been recorded in the past. Information about "ghost rockets" is already in the public domain and that is why the Canadian Defence minister decided to have some fun and make a big joke of it. I am now convinced that even if the Canadian government came out and stated it was a plasma phenomenon, most ufologists would not believe it and say it was a cover up! This is a good example of a UFO magazine trying to drum up interest and sales!

A Stellar, Metal-Free Way to Make Carbon Nanotubes
PhysOrg.com, 22nd February 2010

Space apparently has its own recipe for making carbon nanotubes, one of the most intriguing contributions of nanotechnology here on Earth, and metals are conspicuously missing from the list of ingredients. The finding is the surprising by-product of lab experiments designed by Joseph Nuth at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. and his colleagues to address the astronomical question of how carbon gets recycled in the regions of space that spawn stars and planets. [...]

"I am amazed at the implications of this paper, not only for astrophysics but also for materials science," says Dick Zare, the chair of the chemistry department at Stanford University, Stanford, Calif. "Could Nature know a new chemistry for making carbon nanotubes that we have yet to discover?" [...] The findings also might open a new realm of investigation in astronomy, because "we can take the whiskers produced by Joe and interrogate their properties," says Steele.

In particular, researchers can evaluate whether graphite whiskers absorb light, he notes. A positive result would lend credence to the proposition that the presence of these molecules in space affects the observations of some supernovas. The ability to test this hypothesis could start a reaction of its own.

Comment: So it seems that these scientists are starting to speculate that out in space, there may be simple processes involving plasmas that we have not previously discovered. The most intriguing aspect is that the production of carbon in space that might absorb light and since astronomy is based on observing light it means that our basic assumptions about what is going on in space could be affected.

Mystery ‘Halo’ cloud appears over Mexico
A mystery ‘Halo’ cloud has appeared in the skies over Mexico, resulting in speculation of a UFO visit to the central American state.
Metro News, 22nd February 2010

It isn’t the first time such a cloud formation has been spotted, after a similar mystery ‘Halo’ formation was spotted in the skies over Moscow late last year. [...]

Even the Met Office has been left baffled by the mystery cloud, or its causes, with spokeswoman Sarah Holland stating: “Aircraft exhausts could play a part in the freezing process but the precise cause is unknown.”

Some believe that the phenomenon in Mexico can be explained as a result of a meteorite punching through the cloud layer. UFO expert Nick Pope adds “The similarity with the so-called Halo cloud seen recently over Russia is striking. One possibility is that a meteorite or fireball punched through the cloud.

“This could explain the strange sound reported and the fact that a crater was apparently found.”

Comment: Well, these "Fallstreak Hole Clouds" or "Punch Hole Clouds" keep coming and there is no credible theories to explain what is causing them. A meteor punching a hole theory sounds credible, but defies what is known about how meteors behave. We await some real research or investigation. However, I think I will speculate that in this case it may have been caused by a beam of energy that generates a central cloud feature in the hole that looks dendritic to me, a sign of high energy. The others may only be variations on a theme based on the angle that the energy hits lower level clouds and the type of aerosols in the clouds would make a difference, as well as cloud thickness to generate 'rims' like in the Moscow example. Quite frankly, I am not even sure whether these punched hole clouds are natural or artificial, I imagine that a satellite with some advanced technology could so something similar.

Royal astronomer: 'Aliens may be staring us in the face'
Aliens may be “staring us in the face” in a form humans are unable to recognise, the Queen’s astronomer has said.
The Telegraph, 22nd February 2010

Lord Martin Rees, president of the Royal Society and astronomer to the Queen, said the existence of extra terrestrial life may be beyond human understanding.

He made the remarks shortly after hosting the national science academy’s first conference on the possibility of alien life.

“They could be staring us in the face and we just don’t recognise them. The problem is that we’re looking for something very much like us, assuming that they at least have something like the same mathematics and technology,” he said.

“I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms we can’t conceive. Just as a chimpanzee can’t understand quantum theory, it could be there as aspects of reality that are beyond the capacity of our brains.”

Comment: So, what this means is that the powers that be can no longer deny the existence of another lifeform on this planet and they are starting to make hmmm noises in the mainstream media. This is getting exciting.....

MoD blanked out 'uncomplimentary comments' on UFO files
The Independent, 21st February 2010

The Ministry of Defence had to blank out "uncomplimentary comments" made by officials about members of the public before publishing its UFO files, a newly released document shows.

Following a deluge of requests under the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act 2000, the MoD agreed to disclose its full archive of reported sightings of unexplained sights in the skies.

But a previously secret memo reveals that the files had to be edited for references to military technology, relations with other countries and insulting remarks about the public written by defence officials and police. [...]

Dealing with all the FoI requests for information about UFOs was becoming "increasingly costly and time-consuming" by 2007, with the Directorate of Air Staff (DAS) receiving 199 applications in 2005 alone, the memo shows. [...]

"Contrary to what many members of the public may believe, MoD has no interest in the subject of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the UK, only in ensuring the integrity and security of UK airspace," it says.

Comment: What? So the UK Ministry of Defence are now starting to talk in terms of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the UK! Now, we are getting somewhere!
Update
There are some great comments over at the UK UFO sightings website. Here is the wonderful Scottish Tam Westwater replying in local dialect.

Do Our Organs Have Memories?
Care 2, 21st February 2010

Glenda lost her husband, David, in a car crash. She made his organs available for transplant. A few years later, as part of a study by neuropsychologist Paul Pearsall, she met the young Spanish-speaking man who had received her late husband’s heart. Filled with emotion, Glenda asked if she could lay her hand on his chest. “I love you, David,” she said. “Everything’s copacetic.”

The young man’s mother, also present, was startled. “My son uses that word now,” she said. “He never said it before his heart transplant. I don’t know that word; it doesn’t exist in Spanish. But it was the first thing he said after the operation.”

Her son appeared to have changed in other ways too. Before, he had been a health-conscious vegetarian; now he craved meat and greasy food. He had loved heavy metal music; now he played nothing but fifties rock ’n’ roll. Glenda’s husband had been an ardent meat-lover and played in a rock ’n’ roll band.

Comment: This is fascinating stuff and a problem for scientists who wish to believe that there is nothing sacred about human body parts. I believe that consciousness is transferable and that even our body organs have access to multi-dimensional realms where our memories and emotions are stored. Scientists tell us that the mind cannot be separated from the body and we know that certain memories can become trapped in the body. I have started to think of this in terms of an overload situation where memories can be downloaded from higher dimensional space if there is too much trauma, but in reality, it's not that straight forward because humans also retain information in their electromagnetic field. There are now quite a few books about this subject and on going research but no signs that transplant specialists are trying to match the human traits of donors with those of the recipients and so it seems there are going to be many more of these startingly stories.

Environmentalists and Buddhists go head to head in Taiwan
Environmentalists believe that Taiwanese Buddhists are upsetting the eco-system with their good intentions.
The Telegraph, 22nd February 2010

The small group gathered after dark at Taipei's Tamshui river with tanks of catfish could be easily mistaken for fishermen.

But reciting Buddhist prayers, they haul one tank after the other to the river's edge and tip it over, releasing the meaty, shiny fish into the black water.

"May good karma come back to us," they chant at the end of the ceremony, one of hundreds that take place every year in Taiwan.

Freeing captive animals is an age-old religious tradition and is intimately linked to Buddhism, Taiwan's predominant faith, reflecting its emphasis on protecting life in all its precious forms. But the ceremony, known as "mercy release", has raised concerns as conservationists warn the practice hurts the environment and, paradoxically, often involves cruelty to animals. [...]

A main defender of "mercy release" is the China Preserve Life Association, which says that it unleashed more than 20 million animals in 2008 during 300 ceremonies - the vast majority being small acquatic creatures. "We Buddhists believe that all life is equal and it is our duty to protect all and not harm any. We only buy animals to save them from being killed," said Hai Tao, head of the association.

"It's a good deed. Some groups choose to drop it because of the criticism but we will not turn our backs on the animals," he said.

Comment: I don't think environmentalists should get into a fight with Buddhists because I don't think they will win! As we have seen in the past, Buddhists can and will get militant when pushed...

Peanut-sized meteor lights up London sky
London Free Press, 20th February 2010

For a few seconds tonight, the sky in south London lit up — all from a peanut-sized object hitting the atmosphere. It was a meteor. Members of the London chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada confirmed what many others saw just after the supper hour.

A bright light that began as orange, then turning white sailed from the northwest towards the southeast. One observer believed the light trailed over the sky for as long as five seconds. Dave McCarter, the chapter president simply wished he had seen it. “They’re fairly frequent,” he said. “If you’re out looking up the likelihood, you’re going to see some of these nice meteors. McCarter said frequently they’re seen early in the evening.

Comment: I am not sure that a peanut-sized object could light up the sky in London, what kind of energy are we talking about here? This part of the report simply cannot be true... there was another fireball over Germany that was missed in the blogosphere until only now being reported at SOTT with an English translation, Fireball over Germany 04 Feb 2010

Pachauri’s TERI institute golf course – water hog in a city desperate for fresh water
Watts Up With That, 20th February 2010

Richard North of the EU Referendum reports on this bizarre twist with IPCC Chairman Rajenda Pachauri’s use of land that was designated for public use, now runs afoul of the grant terms under which the land was given. Plus a lot of water in a city that has water shortages. So much for sustainability.

Pachauri, famous for telling other how to live sustainable lives has a private chauffeur, spurns his electric cars provided for him, and once said in a newspaper interview: ‘Unfortunately, “social and environmental issues are often left without effective support when economic growth takes precedence,” he added.’

So, that’s why you charge memberships to your golf course and keep out the public from land given to you designated for public use?

It’s time for Pachauri to go. He’s dirty, deceitful, and dim witted. His personal life is hypocritical of what he preaches to the rest of the world via his IPCC position and is a public relations disaster.

Comment: I actually felt sick after reading this story. Please remember this is India where there are real problems for ordinary people to obtain clean water. Some people think that this story should not have been highlighted, but it reveals the deeply narcissistic mentality that really believes that the "rules" do not apply to them. Please remember, the organisation TERI has been given massive handouts (research grants), for the lies about water shortages in the future due to global warming. The comment that struck home that summarises this mentality is the refrain:
"Let them drink Perrier."

16 injured as turbulence hits U.S. plane headed to Narita
Breitbart News, 20th February 2010

Sixteen people aboard a U.S. passenger aircraft were injured Saturday morning after it ran into turbulence over Anchorage in the state of Alaska, while it was traveling from Washington D.C. to Narita, police and air transport authorities said.

Turbulence hit the Boeing 747-400 United Airlines flight 897 at 10:55 a.m., when the aircraft, carrying 264 people, was trying to descend to an altitude of 9,200 meters from 9,700 meters, according to the airport office of the Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry. [...] The 16 people were rushed to hospitals by helicopters and other transportation means, the Chiba prefectural police said. [...]

A 50-year-old university professor from Fukuoka who was aboard the flight told Kyodo News, "The aircraft was jolted vehemently over Alaska twice or so about seven hours before its arrival." "Many passengers were tossed from their seats, bumping into the ceiling," he said.

Comment: We have a leaky and sometimes non existent magnetic field (see the latest press release from the European Space Agency, Multiple rifts in Earth's magnetic shield), combined with standard and extreme space weather, hence air travel is a lot more hazardous than it used to be (see Best of the Blog - Space Weather & Best of the Blog - Electronics & Electromagnetic Chaos ). Well, when there are enough major incidents, maybe a few more people will start to wonder what else is going on.

NORTHERN LIGHTS:
Spaceweather.com, 20th February 2010

A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field and stirring up auroras around the Arctic Circle. "Last night, the entire sky was filled with fast moving bands and curtains," reports Fredrik Broms of Kvaløya, Norway. He snapped this picture of "one very happy sky watcher":

"I am amazed at the amount of activity we've been getting this week," Broms adds. "Normally the auroras come and fade, but now it's like someone is constantly feeding a fire."

Indeed, for polar aurora watchers, Feb. 2010 has been the best month in quite some time. It's a sign that the sun is coming back to life after a long, deep solar minimum. Sunspots have returned crackling with solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are once again buffeting Earth's magnetic field. NOAA forecasters estimate a 25% to 30% chance of more geomagnetic activity tonight.

Comment: Maybe, it's to do with the fact that the Earth's magnetic field is now very weak and may even have collapsed for a while, so the solar wind is now directly hitting our atmosphere to generate superb auroras. Whenever I go and watch what's happening with the magnetosphere, there always seems to be some action, even if there is not some severe pressure and the magnetosphere is red/white hot, the magnetic field lines are often contorted into a mess. Here is a YouTube clip for the beginning of February, YouTube - Magnetosphere Simulation, Feb, 2 2010 ~ 7 days. Things were very strange in January, these are saved screen shots but the originals see here, Real-time Magnetosphere Simulation, have long disappeared to be incorporated into movies that are on the NICT website or sometimes they are appearing on YouTube generated by 'concerned' fellow citizens of Earth.

This is a few days later, YouTube - YouTube - magnetosphere Feb, 8 2010 & Nict Magnetosphere Simulation Feb 16/17/18th 2010

The sun is crackling with B and C class flares and I don't have time to work out where the major blasts from galactic sources are mixed into the fray. Quite frankly, reports of the bright and persistent auroras are not enough to give the public the impression that there have been drastic changes in the near Earth environment of Earth.

Pictured: Incredible moment the sky ripples as rocket goes supersonic
Daily Mail, 20th February 2010

This is the incredible moment that an Atlas V rocket went supersonic. This amateur video captures a rocket exceeding the speed of sound and passing through a sun dog, creating a visually stunning rippling effect, akin to a UFO.

Comment: I saw reports days ago about a NASA rocket smashing a sun dog, but I could not understand what was so exciting about that. However, the UK Daily Mail has provided us with amateur video footage and it's the rare occurence of plasma combined with ice crystals in the atmosphere creating the ripple that is the most interest. We have seen this ripple effect a few times now around the world and it highly suspect that something fundamental has changed in our atmosphere. Richard Hoagland pointed out the electromagnetic excitation of "a standing-wave pattern in an electrified medium -- i.e. a plasma" may have been the cause of the Norwegian spiral but here we have a real rocket making the effect that is like dropping a pebble in a pond NOT a spiral which needs two current carrying plasmas colliding to generate a spiral (Peratt, 1980) something he forgets to mention. This ripple effect has been seen in the sky more recently but the few historical examples that can be found are still considered a curiosity... Hmmm.....

Global Warming: Meltdown
KUSI News, 19th February 2010

The “Climategate” revelations that began in mid December have crescendoed into a series of almost daily embarrassments for the UN IPCC. This telecast covers as many of them as we can cram into an hour. The program can be viewed in segments. With the intro to each segment you will find links you may use to find more information on the topics covered.

Comment: In part 2 I learnt that the Himalayas cover 10% of the Earth's land surface, something I did not know and makes the IPCC lies seem even worse. Nice straight forward presentation with John Coleman, link here for parts 1-9. (Retired meteorologist Anthony Watts, is interviewed in part 7 after the NOAA/NCDC land surface data temperature records are first discussed in part 5.

Ministry of Defence standard reply to UFO sightings
The Ministry of Defence received 1,666 reports of UFO sightings between 1996 and 2000 and most were sent a standard reply following this template.
The Telegraph, 19th February 2010

Dear Sir / Madam,

2. The Ministry of Defence examines any reports of "unidentified flying objects" it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might have some defence significance; namely whether there is any evidence that the UK Air Defence Region might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised foreign military activity.

3. Unless there is evidence of a potential military threat, and to date no UFO report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the precise nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but it is not the function of the MOD to provide the kind of aerial identification service. It would be an inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so.

4. With regard to your particular observation, I can confirm that we received no other reports of UFO sightings for [insert date] in or around the region, and we are satisfied that there is nocorroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised military aircraft.

Yours sincerely,

Comment: I have updated the typo here mistyped as 'of' to 'or' natural phenomena. Maybe sometime in the future, another agency will send out a similar letter stating: 'We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights, natural atmospheric or meteorological phenomena and of course the 'radar angels', are the probable source of your sighting...' The radar angels are made up of the primordial energy of the universe, plasma that can appear in an abundance of different compositions from crystalline, liquid fire, nebulous to metallic that can vary with brightness and/or appear luminous. Unfortunately, the general public are uneducated about such matters and so the mystery is perpetuated.

Pilot 'intentionally' slams plane into tax building in Texas in 'revenge flight after ongoing row with IRS'
Daily Mail, 18th February 2010

A private plane was deliberately crashed into the side of a seven-storey building next to an FBI office in Texas today - shortly after the pilot apparently set fire to his own home. Joseph Stack flew the single-engine Cirrus aircraft into the Echelon building, killing himself and injuring two others. The FBI and police are investigating the motive behind the actions of the software engineer, who it is claimed had an ongoing feud with the Internal Revenue Service, which was housed in the building. [...] A website published an apparent suicide note attacking U.S. tax authorities, signed by Mr Stack.

Comment: From his 'note' the pilot sounded angry and defiant.... (at the moment, there is no proof of it being authentic). See note.

UFOs spotted above Tescos in Aylesbury
Thame Today, 18th February 2010

Shoppers at Tesco Tring Road in Aylesbury were left baffled yesterday (Wednesday) evening when a fleet of UFOs flew over them.

A local man, who was in the carpark at around 6pm, said several people stopped to watch the 20-30ft long, bright cylinder objects which filled the sky.

He said: "They had a bright, whitish light and there was no noise at all. There was over a dozen of them and they were flying in formation. They were two or three hundred feet high. "There was seemed to be no vehicle above the light," he continued. [...]

However, the man added: "These were not orange and they seemed to be flying in formation, not straight up.

"I didn't think it was a lantern or balloon or anything like that. "They were long and flying in a line, a lantern would go straight up, surely? "I don't know what it was, it was just weird. I really don't know.

Comment: Hilarious! These UAPs seem to like Tesco's! LOL! I find this one of the funniest things about the evolution of spacetime. Whilst people go shopping and try to continue their humdrum mundane life, they catch a glimpse of the massive transition that is taking place on this planet. Please remember, flying in formation is a clear sign of creature-like or "critter" behaviour like geese or other birds flying in formation. Orbsome!! More UK local media reports:

Random Fluctuations Give Rise to Odd Genetic Phenomenon
Science Daily, 18th February 2010

For years, biologists have wondered how it is possible that not every person who carries a mutated gene expresses the trait or condition associated with the mutation. This common but poorly understood phenomenon, known as incomplete penetrance, exists in a wide range of organisms, including humans. [...]

Now, a team of MIT biophysicists has demonstrated that some cases of incomplete penetrance are controlled by random fluctuations in gene expression.

"It's not just nature or nurture," says Alexander van Oudenaarden, leader of the research team and a professor of physics and biology at MIT. "There is a random component to this. Molecules bounce around and find each other probabilistically. It doesn't work like clockwork."

[...] It appears that evolution has produced networks of genes that smooth out the effects of those fluctuations, which are revealed only when there is a mutation in the pathway, says van Oudenaarden.

Comment: The other day, I had a major revelation about Light Codes. What amazes me is that I am not geneticist, but I still managed to understand the scientific implications of metaphysical messages about the arrival of energy that will repair our DNA. Meanwhile, the science behind what is taking place has not been widely discussed within the metaphysical community and no correlation made with universal cycles and how consciousness is delivered to Earth. Here this article talks about probabilities, which implies that even if you get energies that will be helpful to your spiritual evolution, it won't necessarily switch on and genes could stay dormant. Regardless, the wise are giving the intent to switch on newly repaired DNA even if they don't fully understand the science. Meanwhile, the new science of Epigenetics and the study of the influence of environmental factors like our own emotions and beliefs is now centre stage because there are signs that rapid changes are taking place within the human genome.

Abandon Ship: UN climate chief Yvo de Boer quits (But IPCC chief Pachauri has not yet resigned)
Climate Depot, 18th February 2010

Rare ABC News TV Debate: Climate Depot Vs. Center For Am. Progress -- 'UN IPCC was a political organization masquerading as a science group. It's been exposed'

Comment: At the moment, there is scandal and revelations everywhere, the climate change/global warming story is being debunked left, right and centre and it seems like a massive rout. My emphasis has always been that "global warming" was the official cover for the massive evolutionary changes taking place on this planet driven by celestial forces. The science has always been controversial and there has never been a climate concensus. What's more, the evidence of the changes sweeping over our solar system and the role of new energy currents in our solar system are in the public domain if you are prepared to look. Incredibly, the official story is being smashed to bits and I realise that there is very strong push that will change the destiny of mankind. I have linked to Climate Depot because it is intended for an American audience and quite frankly, Marc Morano is a feisty American that I like, he's not a scientist, but he gets his points across with his approach. He's just about to get an award too for his part in reporting Climategate, see Andrew Breitbart, Marc Morano to Receive Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Awards at CPAC

Study: Happiness Good for the Heart
Positive People Have Less Heart Disease
WEB MD, 17th February 2010

Whether you view the glass as half empty or half full may help determine your risk for heart disease. Just as negative emotions such as depression, anger, and hostility are risk factors for heart attack and stroke, happiness seems to protect the heart.

This was the finding from a large study that examined the impact of positive personality traits like happiness, contentment, and enthusiasm on heart disease risk.

Researchers followed 1,739 healthy adults living in Nova Scotia, Canada, for 10 years to determine whether attitudes affected their health. At the start of the study, trained professionals assessed the participants' degree of expression of negative emotions like depression, hostility, and anxiety and positive emotions such as joy, happiness, and excitement.

Comment: I used to be in a relationship where at the slightest hint that I was happy, the knife would come out to do something about the happiness. The focus in the New Age community is that you are responsible for your emotions but it's too simplistic. There are people who simply can't stand others being happy around them, and will do whatever it takes to lower the vibration so they are more comfortable. These days, my level of tolerance for these kind of people is next to zero and as one of my favourite websites often suggests, if you come across one of these manipulative people, turn and "run for your life".

Don't mess with me! The five-day-old lamb who was born with a REAL black belt
Daily Mail, 17th February 2010

He may be just a few days old, but this unusually marked lamb is clearly one to be reckoned with.

Named Miyagi after fictional martial arts expert Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid films, he was born five days ago with a thick belt of black wool around his middle. Farmer William Herbert said: 'I've been farming for over 50 years but I've never seen anything like this before.

Comment: I can't resist this: will this black belt make a good lamb chop? There have not been that many strange DNA mutations seen in the media but this is one of the more cute.

Churchill UFO request revealed
ITN News, 17th February 2010

Copy: New documents released by the Government reveal former prime minister Winston Churchill expressed curiosity in "flying saucers" and requested a briefing from his ministers.

The "Churchill Memorandum" sent from the wartime leader on July 28 1952 to Lord Cherwell, secretary of state for air, is one of hundreds of UFO files released by the Ministry of Defence and National Archives.

In the note, Mr Churchill briefly writes: "What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth? Let me have a report at your convenience."

The response to his memo, explained that following an intelligence study conducted in 1951 the "flying saucers" could be explained by "one or other" of the following four causes: Known astronomical or meteorological phenomena; mistaken identification of conventional aircraft, balloons, birds etc; optical illusions and psychological delusions; and deliberate hoaxes.

Comment: Well, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena would have to come under the "known astronomical or meteorological phenomena", it's that simple. Since plasma makes up 99.999% of the visible universe and 100% of what we can't see, the big mystery was solved a long time ago, but since knowledge is power, some people want the masses to stay unenlightened.

MoD's records of UFO sightings a close encounter of the absurd kind
The Guardian News, 18th February 2010
It's obvious that the media think the best way to stop people reporting their sightings is to ridicule the whole UFO/UAP phenomena. However, people no longer give a *#%?& about the opinion of the media. The catchphrase these days is: "I know what I saw!"

Prehistoric UFO and ET images found in remote cave in India
Archaeology Daily News, 17th February 2010

copy: The images were found in the Hoshangabad district of the state of Madhya Pradesh only 70 kilometers from the local administrative centre of Raisen. The caves are hidden deep within dense jungle.

A clear image of what might be an alien or ET in a space suit can be seen in one cave painting along with a classical flying saucer shaped UFO that appears to be either beaming something down or beaming something up, in what might be an ancient UFO abduction scenario. A force-field or trail of some sort is seen at the rear of the UFO.

Also visible is another object that might depict a wormhole, explaining how aliens were able to reach Earth. This image may lead UFO enthusiasts to conclude that the images might have been drawn with the involvement of aliens themselves.

Local Archaeologist, Mr Wassim Khan, has personally seen the images. He claims that the objects and creatures seen in them are totally anomalous and out of character when compared to other, already discovered, examples of prehistoric cave art depicting ancient life in the area. As such he believes that they might suggest beings from other planets have been interacting with humans since prehistoric times: Adding weight to the 'ancient astronaut theory' which postulates that human civilization was established with the assistance of benevolent space-faring aliens.

Comment: This story has been kicking around the blogosphere for a week or so, on the usual dubious websites, but here we have a proper the link to Archaeology Daily News, which means we can let go of our critical thinking right? Well, many have noted the evidence for Ancient astronauts and it is ridiculous to exclude the possibility. So at this moment in time, the evidence suggests another lifeform with a diverse ecology exists on Earth and it is likely that other humanoid ETs exist too (off/on planet), who have understood how to harness the basic primoridal energy of the universe, depending on your theological or scientific leanings, we can describe this energy as divine, aetheric energies or just plain interdimensional plasma. However for a full understanding, we need to step beyond our current narrow theological, metaphysical and scientific beliefs to explain the weird stories of visitations that can't all be due to people having hallucinations and the archaeological evidence like cave drawings and start to accept that intelligent life exists throughout the universe and some of it is similar to us (carbon based lifeform) and some of it is plasmatic and therefore is nothing like us at all, but I am sure there are other variations too....

James Ray death lodge interview with Josh Fredrickson: part 1
Speculative Examiner, 16th February 2010

Josh Fredrickson was interviewed by police on 11/10/09 and appears to be more cooperative than his wife, James Ray International Director of Operations Megan Fredrickson. Keep in mind, Megan declined to be interviewed until January of 2010 so it must be noted that between November and January there was a shift of game plan at JRI headquarters. [...]

“Det. Poling: Tell me if I am correct here. James Ray has a specific, to the minute agenda, of everything he does, he's very precise; is that true?”

“Josh: It's called the syntax and it's the event as it should be but the running joke is that James is always at least an hour or two hours overtime on the syntax. So the syntax is kind of like the event coordinator's wish for him to stick to but he never does. So that kind of answers your question. There's not a specific syntax for the sweat lodge if that's what you are asking.”

Comment: It looks like the police asked some awkward questions about what EXACTLY was going on in the seminars. The question of SYNTAX is especially interesting. Cassandra get's it wrong but she is corrected in the comments. Here is the answer:

The word syntax is being used by Ray, as he copied it from Tony Robbins, who took it from its uses in NLP. In this context, syntax means the order and sequence of the techniques within the seminar. Ray had carefully designed his seminars, which were copied from many other seminars, which had been tested for decades on people.

The indoctrination techniques being used have to be used in a precise order and sequence for maximum effect. That is the syntax.

If you are in any doubt that "indoctrination" techniques were being used on people, start reading up on what people have said about his strange "training" seminars. It's time that people woke up and worked out who the wolves in sheeps clothing are... What's more there are plenty of others out there on the loose too... This is an unbelievable James Ray photo! It may soon disappear so be quick! Harmonic Wealth Weekend - March 2009 Is this really spiritual wisdom?

A New 3-D Map of the Interstellar Gas Within 300 Parsecs from the Sun
Science Daily, 15th February 2010

Astronomy & Astrophysics is publishing new 3D maps of the interstellar gas in the local area around our Sun. [...]

The white area surrounding the Sun (i.e., at the center of the map) corresponds to a very low-density area of neutral gas, known as the Local Cavity. It is about 80 parsecs in radius in most directions and is surrounded by a highly fragmented "wall" of dense neutral gas. The various gaps in the wall are termed "interstellar tunnels" and represent rarefied pathways into other surrounding interstellar cavities. Maps of the distribution of CaII have never been made before, and they reveal that the Local Cavity contains numerous filamentary structures of partially ionized gas that appear to form in a honeycomb-like pattern of small interstellar cells.

Comment: It's NOT gas it's plasma. This is a quote from Nobel Prize winning astrophysicist Hannes Alfvén written in my book:

“Space is filled with a network of currents which transfer energy and momentum over large or very large distances. The currents often pinch to filamentary or surface currents. The latter are likely to give space, as also interstellar and intergalactic space, a cellular structure.”

“One of the notable characteristics of space plasma, revealed by satellites and space probes, is its tendency to form sharp boundaries between plasmas with different properties. This tendency towards “cellular structure” can have profound astrophysical implications such as generating electric fields in space and providing sources of energy for driving electric currents over very large distances” source

Is Accused Murderer Dr. Amy Bishop An Academic Fraud, Delusional or Both?
Shepherds and Black Sheep, 15th February 2010

[...] A review of the archived web pages of Dr. Bishop on the University of Alabama Department of Biological Sciences' website discloses numerous red flags that may well be the reason

Dr. Bishop was denied tenure. In fact, after studying and comparing Dr. Bishop's archived web pages over the five plus years she was at UAH, one is left with an abiding and growing suspicion that Dr. Bishop is either an academic fraud or totally delusional in the same vein as the Jack Nicholson' character in Stephen King's The Shining, who believed he was writing the next great American novel only for his wife to discover he had been typing the same sentence over and over and over all winter long.

Maybe we will discover that Dr. Bishop is just a run of the mill sociopath for whom killing those in her way, whether they be colleagues or family, registers no greater blip on her emotional chart than, say, severing the spines of live animals to determine if she can induce neuron recovery by first subjecting the soon to be paralyzed animals to varying doses of nitric oxide, which, but the way, is fatal when overdosed, and which just so happens to be a fair restatement of Nos. 8 and 9 on Dr. Bishop's essentially static "research plan" since she arrived at UAH.

Put aside my obvious and impossible to disguise disgust with scientific research predicated on torturing animals. What still remains is that Dr. Bishop has been regurgitating the same static research plan for years: [...]

Evidence strongly suggests that Dr. Bishop used her husband, her family and by all appearances the sham 'Cherokee Labsystems' to fabricate a record of recent accomplishments. Her use of essentially an online vanity publisher further diminishes her professional stature.

It should have been no surprise to Dr. Bishop that the University easily saw through the smoke and mirrors and that she would not receive tenure. But an oversized ego can be blinding.

It seems clear that Dr. Bishop re-wrote the rules for herself. Rather than face the reality that she needed to conduct real research and publish substantial, scholarly work in peer reviewed journals, Dr. Bishop tried to cheat her way to tenure. And, when that failed, it appears Dr. Bishop premeditated a new plan: if you don't accept what I publish, you will perish.

Comment: Oh dear! The description of her being a sociopath may not be adequate.... The problem with society as a whole is the deference to people who can pass exams on specialist subjects but whose focus is so narrow, they are not able to see the Big Picture. Hence, someone who thought that making up peer reviewed scientific papers to get tenure cannot possibly be 'smart' in fact it sounds like the complete opposite. Well, I have come across people with no academic qualifications but are desperate to make it seem that they are capable of doing some original research (or more likely they wanted to give the impression that they sat on a cloud one day and somehow "channelled" the information) hence attempting to pass off someone else's work as their own, that's called no integrity and common in the New Age world. (Yes, I did hear about Neale Donald Walsch and the Christmas story, it's pathetic, but mild compared to what else is going on). Yet, in the same way that professors are put through a review process for tenure, it seem that we all have to be vigilant and be aware that there are people who will give one lie after the other and then do something very nasty if they don't get their way. Yes, I have been at the receiving end so I know...

Planet X and 2012 and Astrology: Exploring the Claims of Astrologer Terry Nazon on 2012, Part 2
Exposing Pseudo Astronomy, 16th February 2010

This is Part 2 of my two-part series on the 2012 claims of astrologer Terry Nazon, found on her website, “The Mayan Prophecy of 2012,” which I found after seeing the Coast to Coast AM late-night George Noory -hosted radio show for February 15, 2010 on their “Astrology Special.”

Part 1 of this series dealt with Ms. Nazan’s specific numbered claims on that page on her website. This second part will focus on the claims she makes throughout the paragraphical text on the page.

Comment: I have only recently discovered this blog debunking 2012 and related urban myths. Stuart Robbins is currently doing his Ph.D at University of Colorado, Boulder in Boulder, Colorado and he has kindly offered his support in debunking the many misleading ideas that are currently floating around about 2012. I would like to highlight a few of his other articles here:

Please note: Mayan Elders used this alignment as a celestial marker but they emphasised a 25 year period of transformation leading to the start of a New Age dominated by space and the ether that would last 5,200 years. Since space weather is now a major issue and at times, Earth completely lowers its magnetic shield, ie we have NO magnetic shielding (daylight side) from galactic cosmic rays and we are being blasted by some of the most extreme celestial objects in the universe to generate some severe space weather, it seems that the majority of 2012 pundits have got this very badly wrong. Meanwhile, spacetime is evolving as predicted, we are awash with interdimensional entities that people can now see with the naked eye and people are still talking about something happening on the 21st December 2012. Question: Why are people talking about a 1 day Mayan Calendar celebration, instead of what life is going to be like on Earth being inundated by cosmic radiation that will cause evolutionary change through DNA mutations?

Cut working week to 21 hours, urges think tank
BBC News, 13th February 2010

The working week should be cut to 21 hours to help boost the economy and improve quality of life, a left-wing think tank has said. The New Economics Foundation claimed in a report the reduction in hours would help to ease unemployment and overwork.

The think tank said people were working longer hours now than 30 years ago even though unemployment was at 2.5 million. The foundation admitted people would earn less, but said they would have more time to carry out worthy tasks. They would have better scope to look after children or other dependants, there would be more opportunity for civic duties, and older people could even delay retirement, it said.

'Better employees' Anna Coote, co-author of the 21 Hours report, said: "So many of us live to work, work to earn, and earn to consume, and our consumption habits are squandering the earth's natural resources.

My Advice About UFO Disclosure If The Government Is Really Serious
UFO Disclosure Countdown, 16th February 2010

...My first opinion is that the first `soft disclosures' about UFO files by numerous countries over the last few years has at least begun to loosen the strings about the UFO information available. And, I call all these `soft disclosures' - because while governments have released files that would suggest something solid is within the Earth's atmosphere that perplexed and interested the military from a security standpoint - no country has then admitted an on-going concern or even a strong interest in the whole phenomena after releasing the data and files. [...]

As you probably know, such files include radar data confirming pilot sightings and such ----- but -----also include the `high strangeness' like cases that seem to suggest that the UFO phenomena is something `bigger' than just crafts in our skies. Indeed, the result is that the line is left blurred, probably on purpose by the governments, to suggest that ALL UFO phenomena may be `qualitative' in some manner. Additionally, none of the soft disclosure is followed by `real discussion' by the government and the people on the implications to them or Earth if `we are not alone'. Soft disclosure folks.

Comment: I actually think this person is on the ball and the article needs to be read. It even hints that there is a "phenomena" in the skies and I think this person may even be a government representative doing his bit to wake up the UFO community. The suggestion of how to soften up the public to UFO disclosure is interesting. A planned disclosure over a time span of 10 years, would be a good idea but I don't think we actually have 10 years, the dimensional shift is taking place right now and all we need is a few bigger blasts from galactic sources and we will have been completely tipped over into a new reality. Unfortunately, there seems to have been very little discussion of the serious implications of the evolution of spacetime within the vast majority of the metaphysical community, and most ufologists are not interested in understanding about the existence of another lifeform on this planet, but the powers that be have obviously woken up now and realise there is absolutely nothing they can do. So the discussion here of governments releasing UFO files, SETI info, meteorites that suggest life is common in the universe is exactly what is going on now. Now, aint that strange? LOL! The following article suggests that maybe this person certainly realises we are dealing with a 'phenomena' that he writes as; "something beyond belief".

Meteorite Crammed with 'Millions' of Organic Compounds
Discovery News, 15th February 2010

A meteorite that hit the town of Murchison, Australia, hasn't quit giving up its secrets.

The Murchison meteorite is one of the most studied space rocks because many pieces were recovered after it was seen breaking up as it fell through the atmosphere in 1969. Approximately 100 kg of the carbonaceous chondrite was recovered.

Carbonaceous chondrites are extremely important to scientists as they were formed from material that existed in the solar system's planet-forming disk of gas and dust. They are, quite literally, time capsules holding onto a 4-billion-year-old record of the birth of our solar system.

In this case, the Murchison meteorite has given us another clue to the abundance of organic chemicals that existed before the Earth formed. In fact, this particular meteorite may have originated from material older than our sun.

Comment: I think this article is revealing that there seems to be a paradigm shift going on in the governing/scientific mindset. For decades scientists derided the theory of Panspermia, that suggests that the seeds of life are prevalent throughout the universe and life on Earth began by such seeds landing on Earth and propagating. However, on a little research, we find that some brilliant minds believed it was completely obvious but were of course ignored. It follows the enforced belief that states the human population must not become aware that our existence on this planet can be threatened by the knowledge of external etraterrestrial life and celestial forces that governments and other authorities can do nothing about. This mindset explains lots and lots of secrecy, coding inserted into religious text, certain esoteric knowledge retained in art, architecture and literature, and ancient mythology etc. It is interesting that this is an old meteorite found in 1969, because other research has revealed the exact same organic compounds and scientific researchers have just been scoffed at. Yet, we know that when astronauts are in the space stations, bacteria and microbes become virulent, they mutate quickly and become literally radiation hardened. Scientists have known the facts for a long time but it seems that only now is there a willingness to stop the pretense and discuss the facts. Life comes from the stars and when we are willing to look at the facts and contemplate the cyclical nature of how consciousness is being continually being delivered to Earth, then we can be start to understand the implications for what is taking place now. (Read about UFO 'soft' Disclosure above, these articles in the MSM are part of the plan, but quite frankly if you have read enough ufo sightings, you will know some have been far from 'soft' disclosure....)

Follow-Up on Mexico's Hidalgo Crash
Inexplicata, 16th February 2010

[...] On Tuesday, February 16, 2010, INEXPLICATA received a message from Prof. Ana Luisa Cid regarding the Hidalgo Crash. NOVOSTI, the Russian news agency, published a communiqué from Alexandr Vorobiov, spokesman for the Russian Space Agency, denying that fragments of Cosmos-2421 had fallen on Mexican territory.

"The media reported that fragments of Russian satellite Cosmos-2421 fell over Mexico. When dealing with Russian spacecraft for civilian application, all of these remain in orbit. With regard to military satellites, the Ministry of Defense has not advised ROSCOSMOS of any incident whatsoever."

The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that military satellite Cosmos-2421 was disconnected and decomissioned after having experienced damage. The communiqué goes on to say that the satellite experienced a breakage of its solar cells after having collided with a small space object.

Comment: It looks like the Russians are sick to death of being blamed for every major celestial type incident that other countries want to cover up! So, we can rest assured that Cosmo-2421 is still floating around our planet with all the other thousands of trackable debris.

In Brookhaven Collider, Scientists Briefly Break a Law of Nature
New York Times, 15th February 2010

Physicists said Monday that they had whacked a tiny region of space with enough energy to briefly distort the laws of physics, providing the first laboratory demonstration of the kind of process that scientists suspect has shaped cosmic history. [...]

The departure from normal physics manifested itself in the apparent ability of the briefly freed quarks to tell right from left. That breaks one of the fundamental laws of nature, known as parity, which requires that the laws of physics remain unchanged if we view nature in a mirror. [...]

Dr. Vigdor said: “A lot of physics sounds like science fiction. There is a lot of speculation on what happened in the early universe. The amazing thing is that we have this chance to test any of this.”

Comment: Hmmm... Sometimes I marvel at scientists trying to tell the Universe how it should behave and when it fails to obey a fundamental law of our science how they react. This is hardcore plasma physics but since plasma represents 99.999% of the visible Universe and a quark gluon plasma is predicted to have been the essence of what existed immediately after the hypothetical Big Bang, it is important to know what is going on in the science, especially when we consider that there are many many mysteries associated with this primoridial spiritual energy. Well, as engineer, astrophysicist and plasma physicist Hannes Alfvén stated in his 1970 Nobel Prize speech, "In the beginning was the plasma". Despite what we don't know, many spiritual and metaphysical concepts can be seen in a new light when we study plasmas and some new insights gained.

Husband: Ala. prof went to range before shooting
Associated Press, 15th February 2010

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The husband of an Alabama college professor accused of shooting her colleagues says the couple went to a shooting range weeks before the killing but he didn't know where she got the gun.

James Anderson told The Associated Press Monday that he did not know how long Amy Bishop had a gun before Friday's attack. He says the family did not own a gun. [...]

On Sunday The Boston Globe reported that Bishop and her husband, James Anderson, were questioned by investigators after a package containing two pipe bombs was sent to one of Bishop's colleagues, Dr. Paul Rosenberg, at Children's Hospital Boston in 1993.

Comment: The details of the pipebomb received by a former boss that she was in conflict with, do changed things considerably and I think a mental health professional needs to comment! I will say that this woman is intelligent but she has a very crude way of making her anger felt! Another later version: Alabama: University Shooter Fired Suddenly, Says Survivor

Ex-RAF, Ex- Army SF "Watcher" sees 4 red lights in formation - Scotland [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 15th February 2010

Location of Sighting: Stirling, Central Scotland
Date of Sighting: Sunday 14 february 2010, Time: 22.33 hrs
Witness Name: Francis Mackay (Mr)

Witness Statement: At 22.30 hrs I went outside my front door to give my dog a late walk. I noticed four red lights in the sky, in close formation as if on one air-vehicle (a/c or helicopter) moving roughly across my front at a distance of possibly two to three miles, at about 2,000 – 3,000 asl.There was no engine noise; the lights were not flashing, and there was no strobe effect in white or any other colour accompanying the red lights.

The object was rising, and travelling from slightly west of north in an eastwards direction. At 1033hrs it changed direction and steepened its climb, still presenting four red lights which appeared to become five as it climbed. The object moved into a long narrow cloud bank, but did not re-appear beyond it. During the period of observation, approx four minutes, I was joined by my wife, who confirms the above information. I have telephoned RAF Prestwick Military ATC [Air Traffic Control] but the Assistant Supervisor on duty informed me that ‘they no longer dealt with such things’, presumably meaning the former Operation Umbra UFO Reporting system.

I will be very intrerested in any similar reports, for that date-time or another. ps I’m ex-RAF and also ex- Army SF where I was trained as a ‘watcher’, so am confident of the accuracy of my report .

Comment: It's interesting when ex-military and trained "watcher" decide to directly ring up the local military Air Traffic Control because they know they might get a reply immediately, but in this case the approach did not help. Nonetheless, this report is interesting, as we find out about the former Operation Umbra UFO Reporting system. I am wondering when the tipping point will occur when most UK residents have seen an orb in the sky or know someone who has seen one, because they are not going to just disappear due to a fundamental change in the fabric of spacetime. It just makes you wonder why most people don't know about the UK Ministry of Defence's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Defence Region[2000], it is now required reading for the intelligentsia. More reports and a few more sightings in Scotland, but of course there are lots more sightings being posted all over the internet.

...primarily in an 'A' shape formation...as a pilot and plane spotter I'm used to looking at other aircraft in the sky. My first thought was that it might have been an air show display or some sort of military training mission. But I know Glasgow airspace very well and they were between 4000 - 10000 ft in the sky right inside the approach airspace for Glasgow Airport and there is no chance they would have been cleared for that and there is no military operations area near here.

Former navy man spots UFO over Llanelli [Wales, UK]
"It was very clearly an orange disc or an orange ball, it was so bright it was like a flare?" I will agree that some of these orbs are so bright they are like flares and so banning Chinese lanterns and making hand flares hard to get hold of is not going to help, but I would like to see the politicians at least try....

Climategate: Viscount Monckton Takes a Victory Lap
Pajamas Media, 14th February 2010

Per a Phil Jones interview with the BBC, confirmation that the temperature record of the CRU is little better than a fabrication.

For several months, the “Monthly CO2 Reports,” compiled by me at www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org, have been pointing out that there has been no statistically significant “global warming” for 15 years.

Regular attacks on my calculations and graphs have appeared on blogs by the usual suspects — Gavin Schmidt of NASA being, as usual, the most venomously ad hominem and the least scientifically plausible. Then came Climategate. [...]

Now, Professor Phil Jones of the University of East Anglia has admitted publicly, and — as far as I know — for the first time, that there has been no statistically significant “global warming” for 15 years. He has also admitted that his Climatic Research Unit has lost much of the data behind the “hockey-stick” graph, via which Michael Mann and other Climategate conspirators had falsely attempted to demonstrate that the Medieval Warm Period was not warmer than the present.

Comment: Viscount Monckton is a great man who will go down in world history, as his role has been pivotal in pointing out the truth and highlighting the lies about global temperatures and climate change. He deserves to take his lap of honour.

Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995
Daily Mail, 14th February 2010

* Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing
* There has been no global warming since 1995
* Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes
The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information. Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers. Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

Comment: It looks like Phil Jones has decided to come clean and confess the truth. Maybe this was the best thing he could have done. Actually, his confession of slopiness reminds me of a UK police officer who had such a pile of papers on his desk, that mice had decided to make it a home. See Mice Nest Found in Cop's paperwork This Q&A has provoked quite a large response so it is linked here.

Is Jupiter Undergoing Massive Climate Change? A Weekend Feature
Daily Galaxy, 13th February 2010

The Hubble Space Telescope and Keck Observatory images may support the idea that Jupiter is in the midst of violent global climate change.

This theory was first proposed in 2004 by Phil Marcus, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. The planet's temperatures may be changing by 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, with the giant planet getting warmer near the equator and cooler near the South Pole. Marcus predicted that large changes would start in the southern hemisphere around 2006, causing the jet streams to become unstable and spawn new vortices as has been proven out by the emergence of new swirling red storms.

Comment: As many others have noted, there is a rapid transformation of our solar system underway brought about by the arrival of Space Weather. Literally, the underlying aetheric energetic background of our reality is changing and that means a New Energy has been percolating through into the physical realms. The only issue that the skeptics point out is that we don't have enough observations to see whether changes are caused by planetary seasonal variations, but the answer to that is that ALL the planets in our solar system are changing at the same time and quickly with some changes taking place in a few months and years.

2012: Mayan Prophecy and the Shift of Ages
2012: The New Age making of an apocalyptic movie
Philip Coppens, February 2010

Mass suicide in the Mayan city of Tikal, Guatemala. Killer solar rays that will erupt and heat the Earth’s core, resulting in a shift of the tectonic plates. This somehow linked with the galactic alignment of the Earth, the sun and the centre of our galaxy. Welcome to the world of Roland Emmerich’s “2012”, the latest creation of a movie director with a clear apocalyptic appetite with movies like “Independence Day”, “Godzilla” and “The Day After Tomorrow” already to his credit.

Call it the alternative, esoteric or new age community: fact of the matter is that in the past decade, this community has grown from being seen as completely surplus to requirements which no-one noticed or took serious, to a new market, and one still largely untapped, except by Hollywood film writers – Emmerich prominently amongst them. His “2012” movie has highlighted that, as was the case with “The Da Vinci Code”, this genre is on the up. However, the vital question one has to ask is whether this mass publicity has created any true change for the better.

Some in the new age community are no doubt happy that the world now knows about the 2012 phenomenon. At the same time, however, the message is one of utter doom and gloom, on a far grander scale than anything ever portrayed. Is that the message the new age wants to send out to the world? [...]

The problem of the movie and the common misunderstanding of the 2012 phenomenon is this: three 2012 theories have been piled on top of each other, thus creating a monster that has also spawned this movie – and has sown confusion across the world. [...]

I will be the first to argue that the 2012 phenomenon is extremely interesting. But the majority of those involved are absolutely non-apocalyptic in their approach. Alas, the vociferous and doomsday preachers have largely taken centre stage, with television documentaries riding on the coattails of the movie interested in imaginary Nostradamus’ prophecies for 2012 or devoting endless hours to an “2012 apocalypse”.

Alternative authors are given a stage to step in the limelight to have their voice heard, even though it may not be in their own best interest, or the message the alternative field should send into the world. “We” may have set the stage for three years of the world pondering the idea whether, indeed, the world might end in 2012 after all. A fear based on a mistaken notion. And hence, those who often identify themselves as truth seekers, have contributed – knowingly, unknowingly or innocently – to another lie. That is not a good thing.

Comment: The problem with this analysis is that the three major theories piled on top of each other have completely and utterly missed the point of the celestial marker that the 2012 galactic alignment was supposed to be about. Mayan Elders and other 'Keepers of Ancient Knowledge' predicted the 'overturning of spacetime' and arrival of New Age dominated by space and the ether that would occur over a period of 25 years of transition. The 21st December 2012 was only an "official" birthdate but it's not meant to be exact, the Elders refer to a birth and babies don't always arrive on the predicted date but it's close enough approximation. Meanwhile, we have seen the arrival of 'Space Weather' which is the modern space age term for how we are experiencing this new dispensation that has gathering momentum for over 20 years and there are a bunch of other major consequences that have also been predicted like the lifting of the veil. However, despite the fact that the planet is getting hammered with Space Weather and this was enough to set alarms bells ringing in the White House, it still seems that the new Age community are still largely none the wiser. BTW the biggest joke is the Inuit Indians claiming that there has been a pole shift. I had largely ignored all the theories of a physical pole shift because it meant that 90% of the humans on the planet would die and I did not see that was on the cards for humanity. However, when I looked again at the website of someone who is strongly advocating a pole shift, they mentioned that there was two types of pole shift and of course they did not give any details of the relative merits because that 'other' type of pole shift now being claimed by the Inuit Indians would not create any fear or trepidation. If it's true and the gravity surveys being carried out by NASA suggest it could be true, it means that the apocalyptic scenario was choosen over any kind of concern for supporting the rise of human consciousness on Earth.

NASA launches space-based solar observatory
Yahoo Asia, 12th February 2010

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AFP) - – NASA launched a first-of-its-kind solar observatory into space Thursday in hopes of expanding scientists' understanding of the sun and its complicated workings. [...]

Space physicists have called SDO the cornerstone of future NASA missions to study the sun, which is considered the next frontier for US space research.

NASA said the probe will be especially helpful in revealing how changes in the sun alter the levels of radiation and energy within our solar system, and will provide new information concerning the sun and solar system that directly affect Earth, its inhabitants and technology.

Scientists said space weather caused by the sun can affect communications and satellite signals, electrical power lines and other objects and energy transmissions in our atmosphere and beyond.

Telescopes and other gear onboard the probe will scrutinize sunspots and solar flares using more pixels and colors than any other observatory in the history of solar physics. NASA said the spacecraft will send about 1.5 terabytes of data back to Earth each day -- the equivalent of streaming 380 full-length movies.

US physicists said that if they can get a better understanding of the sun's magnetic field, they can predict how it affects the solar system and near-Earth space to create space weather.

Comment: The press release from the European Space Agency is still bothering me and here's why:

The solar wind has been described as a bullet proof vest keeping us safe from galactic cosmic rays, but recently we were told that it has been flagging since the mid 1990s.
The Earth's magnetic field has been described as a "armoured vehicle" or "tank" that keeps out cosmic rays, but recently we have been told that it is full of holes and sometimes just disappears on the daylight side and the atmosphere is left to try and deal with some of the cosmic rays.
Now the European Space Agency is now trying to tell us that the Earth's atmosphere acts "a bit like a bullet proof vest" protecting us from cosmic rays. The only problem here is that the very highest energy comsic rays are hardly effected by the Sun's and the Earth's magnetic field and according to Henrik Svensmark's book The Chilling Stars, Earth's atmosphere can only deflect the lowest energy cosmic rays anyway.
The only problem is that if you fact check, there is old information that informs us that hundreds of cosmic rays are continuously passing through our body every minute and if we stick out our hand 1 cosmic ray will pass through every second. Also, since we are getting constant reports that scientists are trying to identify from where in the skies we are getting pelted with the highest energy cosmic rays, it seems the idea that Earth's atmosphere acts "a bit like a bullet proof vest" and provides us complete protection is just simply ridiculous.
What's more, there is a proven correlation between increased cancer rates and higher rates of solar cosmic rays but the argument is that there are many factors involved in triggering cancer that have to be considered, so this is not something I often choose to highlight but it's something that cannot be ignored.

My emphasis has always been cosmic rays cause evolutionary change through DNA mutations and it seems that conditions within our solar system are changing to provide the ideal conditions to cause rapid evolutionary change on our planet. It seems that scientists are desperate to keep people thinking that nothing has changed but even a casual look at what has happened when the Earth's magnetic field strength has fallen tells us that we see evolutionary occur relatively quickly. Here, this can be explained by the observation that there are different types of cosmic rays and it's the overall balance that has to be considered in how evolutionary change proceeds. This press release headline of yet ANOTHER space probe to monitor the Sun was initially ignored, because there have been many others in the last few years, but here the details are telling us specifically that NASA scientists are worried about the high levels of radiation in our solar system, which is exactly what we should have expected as we move into a New Age dominated by space and the ether. Of course this was not expected because the metaphysical community had either turned this transition into a disaster epic or totally romaticisied it, aka the 2012 Cosmic Fairy Tale.

Breaking News: Shooting at UAH [University of Alabama in Hunstville, US]
Watts Up With That, 12th February 2010

UPDATE2: Dr. Christy responds to my message:

We’re OK. Evidently a biology professor essentially shot the entire department at a faculty meeting after learning she was denied tenure. At the time, I was being taped at a TV station across town by John Coleman (remotely from San Diego) when they came in with breaking news about a shooting at UAH.

Comment: I saw that there had been a shooting at a US University but I ignored it because they are becoming too common, but a Professor shooting up the faculty is NEWS! So are the US government going to try and claim that all university professors are potential terrorists? I have explained many times about people moving into unbalanced states. Education and social background do not make people safe from not being able to cope with strong emotions in an unstable geomagnetic environment. See Reuters:

Three killed in University of Alabama shooting "Another university official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters the female suspect arrested was Dr. Amy Bishop, a Harvard University-trained biology professor."

A Previous Shooting Death at the Hand of Alabama Suspect
New York Times, 12th February 2010
"Saturday afternoon, the police in Braintree, Mass., announced that Ms. Bishop had fatally wounded her brother in their home 24 years ago, which The Boston Globe first reported on its Web site on Saturday. ...Chief Frazier said that he contacted the officer on duty at the time, Officer Ronald Solimini, who gave him a detailed account of the shooting. Chief Frazier told reporters at the news conference that it did not “look good” that the detailed records of the case have been missing since 1988.

Comment: Obviously, this Harvard University protege came from a "good" family.... Well, this New York Times article talks about this woman as being passionate and it seems that her anger had been allowed to fester for a very long time. So now, I don't think this was a spur of the moment decision, she had swung out into an unbalanced mental state and stayed that way for a long time.... For those who are new to this blog, I have repeatedly stated that we are all being effected by the chaotic electromagnetic environment which amplifies or ignites charged emotions related to unresolved issues. I envisage that our emotions are like a pendulum that naturally swing about, but should quickly come to rest and there are techniques that we can employ to bring us back into balance if we think it is necessary. However, I believe that in cases where people have major unresolved emotional issues they can be set off by circumstances that seem unrelated and swing wildly into a mentally unstable state, in reality, the pendulum of their charged emotions swing them so far out that the pendulum gets stuck. This often seems to occur due to emotional charge developed in personal relationships and may explain the strange stories of people trying to kill their partners on the spur of the moment. I have based my opinions on scientific research and the references can be found in my book.

SETI Opens All Data and Coding to the Public
News Junkie Post, 12th February 2010

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) just announced that it is releasing all information to the public.

SETIQuest.org was launched on Wednesday to facilitate the release and help coordinate an ‘army of citizen scientists’ to help search for anomalies in interstellar microwave patterns. The NewScientist reports, “SETIQuest is the product of astronomer Jill Tarter’s TED Prize wish. After being awarded the TED Prize last year, Tarter was given the opportunity to make a single wish before an auditorium full of the top names in technology and design. Tarter wished that they would “empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company”.

Comment: This is not disclosure, it's just more marketing and PR! People need to understand that a shadow biosphere is now appearing everywhere and what it means... I am at a lost as to how some people think it can be ignored... The situation is going to get so bad that governments will be FORCED to disclose the presence of another lifeform on this planet. I am only wondering how long that will take, but as the changes to spacetime are now accelerating exponentially, it will be soon.... I've had another thought; maybe we can consider this move as more "baby steps". I am sure that the powers that be are not stupid and realise that something major is happening, (the Obama Administration don't wander around the metaphysical community asking pertinent questions for nothing), so this maybe the first step in disclosing a shadow biosphere. Take your pick, PR or "baby steps", I think I will flip a coin...

Riddle of the 'Windermere Triangle', where cars mysteriously refuse to unlock
Daily Mail, 12th February 2010

Some put it down to interference from a set of traffic lights, others suspect an unwitting radio ham may be responsible. The local baker even blames a mischievous ghost named Albert. Whatever the explanation, something is playing havoc with the electronic key fobs of cars in the Lake District town of Windermere.

Hundreds of visitors to the popular tourist destination have found their cars won't lock or, worse still, won't unlock after they return with their shopping. The phenomenon - or rather the spot where it occurs - has been nicknamed the Windermere Triangle.

Comment: It does seem like Windermere has some kind of magnetic vortex, that is often why certain locations become tourist locations in the first place. Research into magnetism would suggest that inside a magnetic vortex is a triangular area marked out by three nodes and maybe local conditions have changed to the point where electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become acute. This is all quite interesting, especially as we live in a society that has tried extremely hard to ignore subtle energies, but we are living in a time when they are becoming less subtle, if you know what I mean.

Hermetic Jargon
Watts Up With That, 11th February 2010

Scientist quits: ‘I don’t want to remain a member of an organization that …screws up science that badly.’

Farewell Message to the Dutch Academy

As soon as scientists and scholars from different disciplines talk to one another, confusion creeps in. In everyday language, words evoke clusters of associations, suggestions, hints and images. [...]

Disciplines are divided by their languages. Incomprehensible journal articles and oral presentations, ever-expanding university libraries, endless bickering over the appropriation of research funds, resources, and post-doc positions: The Temple of Science has become a Tower of Babel.

A Babylonian confusion of tongues has become the organizing principle. As soon as more than a couple dozen scientists unite around the same theme, another specialist journal is created, comprehensible only to the in-crowd. If this is science, I want to get off.

Many years ago, two members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences tried to call attention to the problem. One was the leading art historian and Director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Henk van Os, the other the retired methodologist of the social sciences, Adriaan de Groot. The two elderly gentlemen arranged a discussion meeting on the peer review system at Academy headquarters. Being an Academy member myself, I eagerly participated. In their introduction van Os and de Groot explained how all disciplines have a tendency to develop their own ‘hermetic jargon,’ the secret language that eliminates the risk of having to discuss the foundations of one’s discipline with the outside world.

Comment: The above is a translation from a Dutch newspaper article that includes a letter of resignation by a top Dutch academic. It eloquently states his reasons for deciding to leave his position that seems to be broadly about how science is run and especially the use of language to stop 'outsiders' understanding the foundations of a scientific discipline. When I was researching my book, it was tough going because NOBODY had considered Space Weather as a fulfillment of prophecy re 2012 and so I had to read articles and research papers aimed at the scientific community with all the jargon. It has got better because scientists had to provide info for the military and engineers, so that cuts down the amount of verbiage. I did find that the best research papers were written by people where English was their second language and so provided a better read for someone just trying to understand the basic scientific theories and perspectives. These days when people try to dismiss something and they shout it's not scientific, I will just say, so what? After Climategate and the other scientific scandals that I have not even bothered to cover, with the depth of hypocrisy that is being uncovered, I think the thinkers who know what is going on, will acknowledge the point.

Orbs & Tesco's - Dartford Kent [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 11th February 2010

Location of Sighting: Dartford Kent,
Date of Sighting: 11 Feb 2010, Time: 7.30pm,
Witness Name: Dennis Attree & Brenda Attree
Witness Statement: My father telephoned to tell me that he walked to Tesco’s at the bottom of his road to get milk, and he said in the sky over west Dartford were 4 large glowing orange lights in the sky, my dad said they looked like fire, thats only how he could explain them, he said they were moving slowly and were silent, he had time to get back up to the house and get my mum and brother to also witness them.. I have noticed how many people say the same things about one or more object.

Comment: Maybe this could be a new advertising campaign... I am full of ideas today, what about a commercial with orbs converging above a Tesco's and spelling out the name before zooming off in different directions. I think it would work quite nicely, especially if the CGI gets the twinkle effect of the orbs that pulsate just right...

Tarot Cards for 'Climate Astrology': Natural Resources Defense Council: 'Unusual amounts of snow or lack of snow are all signs of global warming'
Climate Depot, February 2010

Flashback: 'Climate Astrology': 'Whether the ice caps melt, or expand --- whatever happens --- AGW theorists claim it confirms their theory. A perfect example of a pseudo-science like astrology'
'Isn't it interesting that the N. Hemisphere is experiencing some of coldest, snowiest weather in decades at same time the sun's magnetic field produced 25 quiet months'
'Inside the Climate Bunker': 'How global-warming deniers are running circles around the UN's top climate body'-- Pachauri facing 'ridicule at home and abroad'
Climategate review member resigns

Comment: There is simply too much scandal to keep up with it all and it's well summarised here. I liked the Climate Change tarot card and I have started to seriously think about 'Fairy Goddess Unicorn Space Weather cards'... what about tarot cards? I don't know anything about tarot, but would that matter? By the way, it's naughty talking about astrology as pseudoscience because it's not a science it's metaphysics and by the strictest definition of a scientific discipline, the vast majority of cosmology like Big Bang, Black Holes, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Spacetime theory etc would all have to be considered Metaphysics too. Look around the internet, there are others out there who think the same. Even Einstein is quoted as saying: "The more I study physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics." Since his time, plenty of others have crossed the line too...

Are TGFs Hazardous to Air Travelers?
NASA News, 10th February 2010

Instruments scanning outer space for cataclysmic explosions called gamma-ray bursts are detecting intense flashes of gamma-ray energy right here in the friendly skies of Earth. These terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, or TGFs, blast through thunderstorms close to the altitude where commercial airliners fly.

In fact, they could be too close for comfort. In a recent study,* scientists estimated that airline passengers could be exposed to 400 chest X-rays worth of radiation by being near the origin of a single millisecond blast. Joe Dwyer of the Florida Institute of Technology took part in that research, which used observations from NASA's Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, or RHESSI, to estimate the danger TGFs pose.

see caption "We believe the risk of encountering a TGF in an airplane is very small," says Dwyer. "I wouldn't hesitate to take a flight. Pilots already avoid thunderstorms because of turbulence, hail, and lightning, and we may just have to add TGFs to the list of reasons to steer clear of those storms." But, he stresses, "it's worth looking into."

Comment: Well, at least they have got round to mentioning that people could be effected by these massive bursts of energy and I have noted a few warnings in my blog already, but this is NASA News so that might mean the warning might be taken seriously in the media, but I doubt it. See the NASA press release on the Firefly mission, 29th January below for more details. This reminds me of the phrase about Space Weather that I coined in my book and was used in a section header,

"We are all astronauts now!"
Susan Joy Rennison

I thought of another phrase that airlines could adopt – "Come Fry With Me!" I'm having quite a day of inspiration, what if I produce some 'Fairy Goddess Unicorn Space Weather cards', then maybe someone in a New Age marketing establishment might take some interest... Actually, I am still in shock that the European Space Agency confirmed in print that there are occasions where the inhabitants of planet Earth (daylight side) have NO MAGNETIC FIELD protection from Space Weather, but declined to mention how long and frequent this situation lasts. The Themis NASA mission told us one breach was 4 Earth's wide and 7 Earth's deep and as the satellite took about 11 hours to sail past, they can't say when it opened and when it closed. I am sure someone can tell us really, but I doubt they want that kind of info circulating, it might disturb the few that are interested in health and safety issues.

Fortune Teller Killed Over Failed Love Spell, prosecutor says
KTLA News, 11th February 2010

SANTA ANA - A fortune-teller and her daughter were brutally murdered by a client because a love spell didn't work, a prosecutor told jurors today.

Tanya Nelson, is accused of stabbing Ha "Jade" Smith and her 23-year old daughter, Anita Vo. The bodies of the mother and daughter were found repeatedly stabbed in the face inside their home on April 21, 2005.

The victim's hands were covered in white paint, which may have been an attempt to cover up evidence, authorities said. Nelson, 45, of North Carolina was angered that the fortune-teller wasn't able to change reality, and decided to travel to Orange County to kill her, Senior Deputy District Attorney Sonia Balleste told jurors. The fortune-teller wrote a letter to Nelson and apologized for not being able to change anything, Balleste said. That letter was found in Nelson's home.

Comment: ~~Obviously, Nelson thought that a fortune teller was also some kind of magician who could change reality.~~ [Sorry, I must have been tired, I missed the SPELL bit!] This leads me to muse over the terrible situation that now exists where many spiritual teachers claim we can change our own reality and that means getting what you want. However, after closely studying some of these gurus, most are using covert methods to gain and maintain their profile and many claims about our ability to change our reality are made for marketing purposes only. Hence, these days I am seriously wondering where the balance exists when we are continuously interacting with the collective unconscious and the consciousness level of those around. In this case, the 'unbalanced' client sadly took retribution which was the wrong action, but of course the blind thinking these days by many metaphysical folk is to ignore the perpetrator and blame the victim by stating they 'attracted' awful situations like this extreme example of their own death, which of course is too simplistic and therefore wrong. These days, compassion and empathy in helping people to deal with trauma caused by sociopaths, psychopaths, and predators seems to be out of fashion.

Pamela Icke severely injured
Free Thought nation, 9th February 2010

I deeply regret to say that on January 23rd, my lovely friend Pamela Leigh Richards, ex-wife of author David Icke, was severely injured after she fell 12 feet off a ladder onto concrete at her home. After being flown via helicopter to a specialist, Pamela endured brain surgery. She has since been released and is recuperating at home. Below is her recently emailed account of the accident, published with her permission and edited for privacy.

Pam is one of the loveliest, kindest, sweetest and most gentle and innocent people I have ever had the delight to know. She is the last person on Earth to deserve any trauma on any scale, much less this nightmare. Even in revealing this appalling incident, Pamela included beautiful images of hope and empowerment. My dear Pamela, I wish you a speedy and full recovery - and a long life!

Comment: I hope Pamela Leigh Richards completely recovers, but I will admit I was surprised to hear she was no longer Pamela Icke, she ordered a copy of my book a while back and she was still an Icke. However, I will say that I must be getting very cynical after spending a lot of time reading about fake gurus and how the most successful get away with pulling the wool over sheeple eyes. The thought ocurred to me that if she was clever and manipulative, she can use her accident as a way of becoming a New Age 'savant' guru. She has already stated that she thought she died and came back. So now she's got a good start, but I recommend that she now learns how to put people in a waking trance and how to do NLP and other such popular methods of covert persuasion as well as making up some content, but to be really good charlatan, she would have to do some work.

Meteorite Hits Mexico Leaving 30 Meter Crater in Ahuazotepec Municipality
Newsolio, 11th February 2010

Archive copy: A meteorite has smashed into the ground in Mexico, leaving a 30 meter (100 feet) wide crater, reports said. The meteorite impact was in the Ahuazotepec Municipality in Central Mexico between the cities of Puebla and Hidalgo. The precise impact area of the meteorite was in a relatively unpopulated area and hit around 6.30pm local time, Mexican media said.

The Ahuazotepec, Mexico meteorite impact was so massive it broke windows in homes many kilometers from the epicenter and people reported buildings swaying and mass confusion. Other reports said the Mexico meteorite impact partially damaged a road and a bridge.

The Mexican military was called in to lock down the area where the apparent space rock slammed into the ground. Initial fears where that the impact was a aircraft crashing to the ground, but that report was later dismissed.

The Central Mexico meteorite event was witnessed by countless people in the region of the impact, with people as far away as Mexico City saying they saw the burning object enter the atmosphere.

Comment: Can you imagine what would have happened if this meteor had hit a major city? As I have stated before, there are YouTube videos of orbs which look as if they were attempting to break up meteors as they descend. At this moment in time, I have no metaphysical information that informs me of what criteria is used by 'The Earth Management Team' in how it chooses to defend our planet, however we are told that is part of their function. It will be interesting to see if this story changes...

Experts discuss asteroid-warning system: Workshop advances ways global community can respond to threats to Earth
MSNBC News, 29th January 2010
"International experts converged on Mexico City this month to discuss the best way to establish a global detection and warning network to monitor potential asteroid threats to all life on Earth. The three-day workshop called together asteroid tracking specialists, space scientists, former astronauts and United Nations authorities, along with disaster management, risk psychology and warning communication experts."
Oh the irony... but what about space weather bringing down old satellites as debris?

Debris, which fell in Hidalgo Mexican scientist Fernando de la Pena said yesterday that the crash reported in the region due to the decline of Russian satellite
"Mexican scientist Fernando de la Peña, confirmed the fall of an object from space near the states of Hidalgo and Puebla. The driver of the Mexican Space Agency ruled that the loud boom yesterday reported by inhabitants of the region had been caused by a meteorite. De la Pena noted that in this case was a satellite of Russian origin, considered debris.
Hmmm... We know that everyone LOVES to blame the Russians but even the Mexican Space Agency has given an official statement blaiming this 100 ft hole on a "fragment"...

Meteor strike between Hidalgo and Puebla, possible space debris
"On February 10 around 16:00 hrs. were released several reports of people who had seen a fireball sail through the sky, followed by a huge explosion at the boundary between the states of Hidalgo and Puebla. In turn, a portal to information obtained by the Department of Defense of the United States which is responsible for monitoring man-made objects orbiting Earth, he had already published before the possible reinstatement of a fragment of the satellite Cosmos 2421, cataloged as 33006." Regardless of whether this was space debris or a space rock, this event will certainly focus a few more minds!

UN to discuss Air Traffic Control for outer space An international air traffic control for outer space should be set up to prevent damage to satellites and spacecraft orbiting the Earth, according to proposal to be discussed at the United Nations next week.
The Telegraph, 6th February 2010
"Space experts from around the world will discuss ways of tackling the growing problem of space debris in orbit around the Earth. It comes just a year after an American satellite collided with a Russian satellite."
Space Weather causes turbulence in space and drags satellites out of their orbits, so old satellites and debris can no longer be relied on to just float around unwatched.

As a reminder, the US Military are now refusing to share asteroid and fireball data, it's now secret. So for those who have read the 'News of the Imbalance' over the last few years, and have taken on board the hard evidence that something is causing a tremendous amount of celestial upheaval and all the signs shows that this is escalating, this should be no surprise. Also, please do not forget NASA's 'Local Fluff' press release either, 2 days before Christmas.... shameful. BTW, I have just finished reading astronomer Fred Hoyle's book The Black Cloud, it certainly gives you something to think about...

Comment 13th February 2010: I have come to the conclusion that we now have another media blackout, but the horse bolted before the stable door was properly shut so we do have quite a lot of information. This story was naturally covered by Mexican TV but I don't know what was said and I am miffed there are no images. Why is that? Others are mystified too, see Mexican TV video link at Mexico: Cosmos 2421 Was The Culprit & Mexico: What Crashed in Hidalgo? Again, maybe it was another heavenly phenomenon and there was no 100ft hole, but something major DID happen. Apparently, "State Civil protection reported that emergency phone lines collapsed due to the number of frightened citizens asking for an explanation about what was going on, after the detonation caused windows to shatter. Hmmm....

Stronger radiation from the Sun 'will cause sat-navs to fail', scientists warn
The Telegraph, 10th February 2010

Britain’s satellite navigation networks could soon experience problems and disruptions caused by higher levels of radiation coming from the Sun, scientists warn.

Researchers said satnav devices were facing the threat from an expected increase in solar flares from the Sun that could cause unpredictable errors in navigation. [...]

Prof Cathryn Mitchell, from the University of Bath, said while the sun’s affects on navigation were difficult to project, the errors could last hours or even days. “It varies quite a lot across the Earth; looking at the UK it will be about 10-metre errors in the positioning,” Prof Mitchell told the BBC.

"Ten metres out is probably going to be OK for a satnav system in a car but if you're using the system for something safety-critical like ships coming into harbour for navigation or possibly in the future landing aircraft, you're looking for much greater accuracy and more importantly, much greater reliability."

Comment: It is obvious to those of us watching the escalation of Space Weather that this is not just related to solar flares. We have many more regular substorms caused by the solar wind and a magnetosphere full of holes. What's more, nobody is talking about the regular cosmic/galactic blasts, but we can watch the magnetosphere getting hit on a regular basis. I missed this 20th January 2010 press release from the European Space Agency but it's no surprise as we are now experiencing extreme space weather. Multiple rifts in Earth's magnetic shield. We read:

"This study reports the observation of fissures on the Sun-facing side of the Earth's magnetic shield – the dayside magnetopause. Fortunately, these fissures don't expose Earth's surface to the solar wind; our atmosphere protects us, even when our magnetic field doesn't. However, clear effects have been detected high in the upper atmosphere and in the region of space around Earth where satellites orbit."

This press release tells us straight that we don't always have the protection of Earth's magnetic field and this is something I find hard to believe but it's in print. Please note ESA lessons on line: The effects of magnetic fields

The charged particles in cosmic rays are deflected by the [Earth's] magnetic field and many are prevented from hitting the atmosphere directly. Some are trapped into two concentric doughnut-like bands around the Earth called the Van Allen Belts, discovered in 1958 by the American satellite: Explorer 1. ... As we have seen, on Earth we have the protection of a strong magnetic field. However, elsewhere in the solar system it is not quite as safe.
... Any particles that make it through the Earth’s magnetic field still have to face our atmosphere. The atmosphere acts a bit like a bullet-proof vest. A cosmic ray hitting the upper atmosphere gives up its energy to create a shower of secondary particles that rain down on the Earth below.

As I keep writing, the atmosphere as a total shield is rubbish and scientists around the world were expressing concern because there were EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWERS OF COSMIC RAYS at ground level in 2000 and NASA have already told us that cosmic rays are at a space age high and to expect worse to come. What's more, the regular contortions of the Earth's magnetic fields lines are sometimes just so unbelievable, I wonder what is really going on. We have the fulfillment of Mayan prophecy, our world is now being dominated by cosmic and galactic energies and the proof is in the public domain, but there is little of no acknowledgement of the importance of our personal vulnerability and the cosmic impetus driving evolutionary change. It's not theoretical, cosmic radiation is tanning our hides. Meanwhile, the media delivers the odd whisper that our satellite communication infrastructure is under threat and GPS is not so accurate these days...

Safety move on Chinese lanterns
Jersey Evening Post, 9th February 2010

JERSEY Coastguard is holding a demonstration tomorrow to show people the difference between sky lanterns and distress flares.

They will release flares and sky lanterns from St Aubin’s beach so that members of the pubic can recognise which one is set off in a genuine emergency and which one isn’t. The move follows a spate of call-outs for the Coastguard, including one on New Year’s Eve.

Volunteers from St Helier lifeboat had been preparing for their own new year celebrations when they received a call from a concerned member of the public who had spotted flares in the sky near Elizabeth Castle. But after a half-hour search, nothing was found except Chinese lanterns floating in the water. Those wishing to take part should meet at 6 pm at Le Fregate cafe.

Comment: I think there is a need for education, but with the UAP phenomena and the brightness of some of the orbs, there is already great confusion which we may not be able to do much about. Quite frankly, even I was shocked by the ruby-red orb (reported 20th December 2009, Rudheath, Cheshire, UK) that came down to street level and then shot off... Here are YouTube videos of a hand held flare Hand flare 5th November, Aberdeen [0:53]
& an official Warsash Maritime Academy video [5:54] Distress Flares & Signals Pt1 , for sky flare go to [1:21] & hand held flare at [4:08]

Move to ban Chinese lanterns
County Times, 9th February 2010

CHINESE lanterns have been mistaken for distress flares at sea, vilified by farmers and they even sparked a flurry of 'UFO sightings' across Mid Sussex last summer. Now, a European politician wants the flaming party toys banned.

Sharon Bowles, Liberal Democrat Member of the European Parliament for the South East of England says the wire built sky lanterns could cause injury or death to livestock.

Comment: Oh good! Now this would be very useful legislation and then the doubters of the plasma phenomena that we are seeing in the skies, would have no excuses for the veracity of reported accounts. It also proves that the UAP phenomena is European wide. Oh, please hurry.... see also,

Chinese lanterns pose danger to livestock, NFU [National Farmers' union] says
BBC News, 1st February 2010
"Ruth Pidsley, a farmer from the Wirral, said she had woken up one morning to find 57 Chinese lanterns dotted around her farm. She said: "We have had a couple of cattle that have had some sort of eating problem, but we do just wonder whether it is due to the fact there have been little bits of wire in the silage."

Action needed on Chinese Lanterns
Yeovil Express, 6th February 2010
"SOMERTON MP David Heath has called on Parliament for action to make Chinese Lanterns safe to livestock and wildlife. Speaking at Questions to DEFRA ministers, Mr Heath drew attention to the growing trend to set off Chinese lanterns, which are carried by convection currents across the countryside. "

Cheshire farmer Huw Rowlands call for Chinese lantern ban after cow death
Chester Chronicle, 3rd February 2010
“They look very pretty but when you release them there is no way of telling where they are going to end up. “I would like to see them banned completely because they can travel anything up to 20 miles and there is no way of telling where they have come from.”

Please note: in certain parts of the UK ( I am not sure about Europe), people live in cottages thatched with hay. I also witnessed a fire in Norway, where people set off fireworks at New Year and a small patch of common land was set ablaze very quickly, near my old home which I would describe as out of town suburbia. Setting off Chinese lanterns is totally irresponsible and a fire hazard like fireworks, I don't even know why they are legal in the first place... By the way, it makes the UK farmer in Altrincham, Manchester with the ridculous LED helium balloons story (October 2009) seem even more ridiculous.

Climategate: Plausibility and the blogosphere in the post-normal age.
Watts Up With That, 9th February 2010

I’m honored to offer this guest post by Jerome Ravetz, of Oxford University in the UK. Mr. Ravetz is an environmental consultant and professor of philosophy of science best known for his books challenging the assumptions of scientific objectivity, discussing the science wars and post-normal science.

Comment: The heavyweights have joined the fray! Considering that this piece was written by an Oxford University professor, it is remarkable straight forward to read. What's more, we have it on good authority that the science behind Climategate has been rumbled! There are some gems that I hve picked out that I believe will become part of the modern scientific lexicon, here are some quotes:

It takes determination and skill for a scientist who is committed to social responsibility, to avoid becoming a ‘stealth advocate’
We can begin to see what went seriously wrong when we examine what the leading practitioners of this ‘evangelical science’ of global warming.
We found ourselves in another crusading ‘War’, like those on (non-alcoholic) Drugs and ‘Terror’. This new War, on Carbon, was equally simplistic, and equally prone to corruption and failure.
All critics, even those who were full members of the scientific peer community, had to be derided and dismissed. As we learned from the CRU e-mails, they were not considered to be entitled to the normal courtesies of scientific sharing and debate. Requests for information were stalled, and as one witty blogger has put it, ‘peer review’ was replaced by ‘pal review’.
A well-known expert in uncertainty management, Jeroen van der Sluijs, explicitly condemned the ‘overselling of certainty’
Part of the historic significance of Climategate is that the scandal was so effectively and quickly exposed... To explain how it all happened so quickly and decisively, we have the confluence of two developments, one social and the other technical. For the former, there is a lesson of Post-Normal Science, that we call the Extended Peer Community.
Do we face the prospect of the IPCC reports being totally dismissed as just more dodgy dossiers, and of hitherto trusted scientists being accused of negligence or worse?
A distinguished scholar, Sheila Jasanoff, has called for a culture of humility among scientists, itself a radical move towards a vision of a non-violent science.

Please note the final statement: "My thanks to numerous friends and colleagues for their loyal assistance through all the drafts of this essay. The final review at a seminar at the Institute of Science, Innovation and Society at Oxford University was very valuable, particularly the intervention from 'the man in the bus queue'." This has been the hallmark of the success of the bloggers who banded together, the learned and the unlearned worked towards a common goal, where the momentum was maintained by adhering to the highest standards of truth. This is making me re-examine again the crapiness and low standards that I have experienced in my own search for truth and enlightenment, as all these highlighted phrases have a direct parallel with what is going on on the New Age world, and I would say that you can replace "War on Carbon* with "War on the mind". Hence, the refrain for the last few years has been: where is the quality? Well, I am now examing the science and philosophy behind the low standards that plague seekers of truth in the spiritual world, it's enlightening but at the same time, I realise there must be others who understand the predicament.

Mysterious fireball sighting linked to meteor reports
Fermanagh Herald, 9th February 2010

MYSTERY still surrounds the reported sighting of what is thought to have been a meteor in south Fermanagh. One witness described seeing a 'fireball' lighting up the sky near Teemore last Wednesday evening - around the time that a number of similar sightings were reported in neighbouring counties in the northern half of the country.

It is the first time in 40 years that such a sighting has been made in Ireland, with only about half a dozen recorded meteorite falls in the country altogether.

The last one was in 1999, and the last one in the North was in Derry in 1969. One lady from Teemore told the Herald: "It was about 6.15pm on Wednesday evening and it wasn't fully dark. I saw the fireball from a window in the living room. It dropped a few miles from the house I'd say. At first I thought it was a small helicopter but it was more like a rocket or a flame gliding through the sky and then it disappeared into the fields a couple of miles from here in Teemore. There was no smoke or anything so I knew that nothing had crashed. It was just so unusual and it was not a rocket or a firework. [...]

"There were two separate events," a spokesman said. "The first, and almost certainly the most important, was at about 5.50pm, and seems to have travelled from Kerry at least as far as Armagh and south Tyrone. That one may have been a 'meteorite dropper', though it's too early to say.

"The second, not as big or bright, but at least as bright as Venus, was at about 7.30 - 7.40pm more than one and a half hours later. It was seen from near Moy, Co Tyrone, and was travelling in a north east direction."

Comment: It really makes you wonder what EXACTLY was seen in the skies, maybe it was more "heavenly phenomena", because it seems they were low enough in the skies to be seen crossing from South to North of the whole country of Ireland but not seen to explode. What's more, no one has found anything despite the publicity and the meteorite hunters out to make a small fortune. If you go back into the archives and check out "heavenly phenomenon", a term made up by the media for the famous 20th February 2009, incident in the US where astronomers on a nightwatch party (NASA Solar System ambassador and board member for the University of Hawaii Friends of the Institute for Astronomy Council) thought they were going to get hit by a fireball and the thing just disappeared... The astronomers themselves, referred it to a "meterological phenomenon"... As regulars will already know, it's getting spooky out there....

Doctors: Haitian may have survived 4 weeks in rubble
CNN News, 9th February 2010

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A man pulled alive from the rubble of a building in Haiti's capital Monday may have been trapped since the January 12 quake that leveled much of the city, doctors reported.

The 28-year-old man, identified as Evan Muncie, was found in the wreckage of a market where he sold rice, his family told staff at a University of Miami field hospital. He suffered from extreme dehydration and malnutrition, but did not appear to have significant crushing injuries, the doctors said.

"He was emaciated. He hadn't had anything in quite some time. He had open wounds that were festering on both of his feet," said Dr. Mike Connelly, of the university's Project Medishare.

The people who brought him to the hospital said they found the man while digging out the marketplace, Connelly said.

Comment: Another miracle! There is an exclusive CNN video report that is very good. The survivor says "a man in a white coat gave him water..." I have to say, this makes me very emotional because I once had a very clear vision of a man all in white standing beside me and at the time I thought it was odd, but when I consider what I had been going through in the previous few years, I can only be grateful...

Orange Object Looked Like A Floating Fire Seen Over Hemel Hempstead UK
The Vike Factor, 8th February 2010

Number of Objects: 2 Shape of Objects: Round/boomerang?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was coming back from the shop in Hemel Hempstead when my partner noticed a light in the sky. I said it was a plane, but after looking myself I could see no flashing lights, just what looked like something on fire high in the sky. It was orange and just looked like a small fire floating up high, it was not going particularly fast and just went at a steady pace in a straight line, it definitely was not a shooting star either.

We watched for about 30 seconds until it disappeared into the cloud. After about another minute, we saw another one, same speed and direction only this time I could clearly see what appeared to be something falling from it, like drips of fire were coming from it, there were about five or six of these drips, it was quite unnerving as it went over head. It appeared to be boomerang shaped and there was no noise at any time during watching these objects. I called my brother who is west London (Ealing) he asked if I saw an orange shooting star before, I had even said anything so I am assuming he saw the same thing. What are they?

Comment: Apparently, we have types of Chinese lanterns that people set off so that they can drip fire over major urban areas ie LONDON.... Well, I just don't believe that these are Chinese lanterns. If you go through the archives many others have seen this "dripping fire" too. Check out the YouTube videos of strange meteor-like objects dripping fire and those definately don't look like Chinese lanterns either. The image icon used here is adapted from something that looked like a red hot poker over Formby, UK in September 2009 where a "cinder" was also seen to fall off it. There are lots more fire ball sightings on the UK UFO Sightings website, here are just a few:

3 fire balls travelling through the night sky - ceredigion, Wales [UK]
"NOT lanterns…meteors?"

A ball of orange fire in the sky zig-zags - Northampton [UK]
"a ball of fire perhaps a meteor."

A fuzzy “pulsating” orange glowing ball of light about 70 degrees above the horizon moving across the sky - Ely, Cambridgeshire [UK]
Chinese lanterns do NOT pulsate, but UAPs do!

The 3 fireballs moving erratically, form triangle - Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
Please check the UK MOD "Project Condign" report, if you want to see a photo of fiery UAPs in a triangular formation, and then you can argue with military experts if you don't think it's possible.

A round shaped object that looked like plancton - Plymouth [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 8th February 2010

Location of Sighting: Plymouth area, UK, Date of Sighting: 7/2/2010
Time: 12:24 am (night), Witness Name: Elise T

Witness Statement: There was this circular shaped thing in the sky, flashing different colours and moving at different speeds. Reminded me of a plancton. It was at least double the size of a star and since i look out of my window every night this is something i have never seen before. One point the thing flashed a bright white light. I have googled and googled but nothing is similar! I have encountered odd lights before but this is something else.

Comment: This is the first time that I have read a report that refers to a UAP looking like plankton, since I know very little about this microscopic plant that is crucial to the oceanic food chain, I was pleasantly surprised by the images I found. They do look like the images produced of the UAPs seen at Ross-shire, Scotland in July 2009, see image icon below. Click the image icon here to see the full image. Well, as I have deducted that soon we will be living inside a cosmic aquarium, this example is only part of the wide cosmic ecological life that's all around us. This can be compared to the amazement of a biologist who was given images photographed by Trevor James Constable. The biologist Ivan Sanderson who wrote the book Uninvited Visitors: A biologist looks at UFO's (1969) wrote in this book:

"Be they Unidentified Aerial Objects or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, they don't look like machines at all. They look to a biologist horribly like unicellar lifeforms complete in some cases with nuclei, nucleoli, vacuoles and all the rest (emphasis added). Some are amoebic in form. What is more they appear as completely opaque, mildly diaphanous, completely tenuous, or what can only be called evanescent, merging into mere light hazes."

In response, it's very difficult for scientists pretending to look for a shadow biosphere on Earth to have any credibility. Trevor James Constable wrote in his book, The Cosmic Pulse of Life: The Revolutionary Biological Power behind UFOs (1976).

"Mr. Sanderson is thus able to see with his eyes what is actually in front of them—a task that the imortal Goethe conceived as being the most difficult for humans. As the photographer at the time of the photographs were made, I knew nothing whatever of "nucelei, nucleoli, vacuoles and all the rest," but as Sanderson has pointed out, that is what is there on the photographs. Similar forms will be found depicted in major reference books on microbiology."

Here are some famous images by Trevor James Constable from the online book UFOs: The Psychic Dimension by David Pratt in Chapter 5, Lightforms and Bioforms, link

We Got Rhythm: The Nearly Forgotten Anomalies of Frank Brown
The Big Study, 7th February 2010

...Many of these critters seemed naturally to have a cycle relating to the Moon, very expected in a way, since they were tidal creatures.

Brown, particularly after he was hired as a young prof at Northwestern, had the lab and where-with-all to begin detailed work. He chose species like Fiddler Crabs and Oysters. He studied them both in the "field" and isolated in tanks at the University. He found many things relating to rhythms, but I'll mention only two. Less interesting, perhaps, to us "outsiders", he found that creatures like the crabs appeared to have a "clock" which was significantly regulated by "outside" influences [i.e. not just a "hard-wired" internal cellular clock--which is what the establishment believed].

This, astonishingly, bought him not just disagreement but a shameful volley of insults and "professional" dirty tricks. The second thing that he found was that creatures displaced from their native environment "re-set their cyclical clocks" even if placed in lab environments where they were shielded from all gross environmental "natural" inputs. Those two discoveries are, of course, closely related in Frank Brown's Big Picture, but the second was mostly ignored because it stretched any sort of thinking past most of our limits---but the first thing was viciously opposed as a pseudoscientific concept. [Brown is shown on the left at one of his study tanks at Northwestern].

"Scientific" persons began doing things like blocking his publications, slurring him in talks and even in writing, creating cabals to agree to never cite any of his work nor that of his students,mounting erroneous "statistical" arguments to show his alleged errors of data, refusing to invite him to speak at relevant symposia, or if they had to, offering him ten minutes to his opponents' 50 or 100 minute talks [I kid you not--read this disgusting crap in Brown's biographical chapter in Discovery Processes in Modern Biology, edited by W.R.Klemm. 1977].

Brown eventually "won", although he wasn't trying to "fight" anyone--Frank Brown is a civilized man. But his deeper discoveries are not spoken of much today, at least one of them. This is the fact learned from the oyster research that even if you keep them isolated in the lab, they not only re-set their "tidal" clocks, but they re-set them as if they somehow "know" that they been moved from the East Coast to Chicago--- that is: their new rhythm is the correct rhythm if they were sitting in a tidal situation in Chicago.

Comment: More suppressed research.... Here we have some research that clearly reveals that biological rhythms in sea-life exist with an interdimensional component. In the laboratory when sea-life like oysters and crabs are isolated, they are still able to re-set their biological clocks to an influence that is not gravitational, electromagnetic or light. Here we have science that seems to imply that the theory of morphogenetic fields can be substantiated, but scientists literally frothed at the mouth when it was revealed that biological creatures are influenced by outside forces, because it implies that humans are influenced in the same way too. Now decades later, scientists have admitted this and now Epigenetics, how the environment influences genes and DNA is now one of the top scientific research areas. It seems that the truth always prevails — eventually.

Stop selling unlicensed natural health remedies: pharmacy regulators
National Post, 7th February 2010

Makers of natural-health products say they are bracing for widespread layoffs and millions of dollars in losses after Canada's pharmacy regulators issued a surprise directive recently urging druggists to stop selling unlicensed natural remedies.

The order affects thousands of herbal treatments, multi-vitamins and other products, most of them waiting for approval from Health Canada under a backlogged, five-year-old program to regulate natural-health goods.

The National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) says pharmacists cannot be assured the products are safe until they are granted a government licence, and should not sell them in those circumstances.

Comment: I know that over the years there has been various attacks on natural health remedies, from those being supported by pharmacutical companies wishing to remove them form the market but now the situation has become critical. It is now know that pharmacutical companies are in trouble because the "placebo effect" is getting stronger, ie people's own belief system is helping to cure rather than a specific drug. So many new drugs they have hoped to place on the market are worthless and older drugs would never pass new tests. It's a very interesting situation.

£8BN BBC ECO-BIAS
The Express, 7th February 2010

STRIKING parallels between the BBC’s coverage of the global warming debate and the activities of its pension fund can be revealed today.

The corporation is under investigation after being inundated with complaints that its editorial coverage of climate change is biased in favour of those who say it is a man-made phenomenon.

The £8billion pension fund is likely to come under close scrutiny over its commitment to promote a low-carbon economy while struggling to reverse an estimated £2billion deficit.

Concerns are growing that BBC journalists and their bosses regard disputed scientific theory that climate change is caused by mankind as “mainstream” while huge sums of employees’ money is invested in companies whose success depends on the theory being widely accepted.

Comment: This does help explain the BBC stance but it's still quite shocking... There are so many eco-worms from the Climategate can of eco-worms that I am struggling to keep up... Please remember that much a loved TV personality called David Bellamy, was shunned by the BBC because he did not believe in man-made global warming, it actually bothers me for some reason.

The Superbowl “Green Police” commercial
Watts Up With That, 7th February 2010

This video below is one of the most talked about Superbowl commercials today. You have to watch it more than once to catch all the visual gags in it.

Watch the Audi commercial featuring Cheap Trick, the Green Police, and the Audi A3 TDI® clean diesel, Green Car Journals 2010 Green Car of the Year®.

Comment: Well, since there is an increasing trend of US police brutality, where it seems some officers have completely lost control of their senses, I don't like the sentiment expressed in this commercial. The views at WUWT do vary, but some have seen the darker side to all this. This is what one person had to say,
Frank Moore (03:47:39) : "That commercial was, possibly, the most disturbing thing I’ve seen on television in the last 20 years." This is worth considering: Dorian (09:25:39) :

As I said once in an earlier post, this is now The Age of Dark Science.
When government policy, business interests, and social engineers combine together to undermine science, facts and reality, we have Dark Science, Dark Knowledge and a Dark Society.
It took many centuries for society to separate the church from state, and it took many lives to do it. We now have a far more potentially destructive problem, separating the maniacal megalomaniac elitists, stone-age regressive seekers of society and self-serving presumptuous manipulative intellectual hypocrites from the legislative and executive branches of government. I shudder what cost we as society have to pay to rid ourselves of this group of vampires, vultures and leeches.
The Age of Dark Science is here. The only weapon we have is the same weapon that all liars, cheats, crooks and bullies fear, the light of truth, use it well people!

Top British scientist says UN panel is losing credibility
The Times, 7th February 2010

A LEADING British government scientist has warned the United Nations’ climate panel to tackle its blunders or lose all credibility.

Robert Watson, chief scientist at Defra, the environment ministry, who chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from 1997 to 2002, was speaking after more potential inaccuracies emerged in the IPCC’s 2007 benchmark report on global warming.

The most important is a claim that global warming could cut rain-fed north African crop production by up to 50% by 2020, a remarkably short time for such a dramatic change. The claim has been quoted in speeches by Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC chairman, and by Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general.

This weekend Professor Chris Field, the new lead author of the IPCC’s climate impacts team, told The Sunday Times that he could find nothing in the report to support the claim. The revelation follows the IPCC’s retraction of a claim that the Himalayan glaciers might all melt by 2035.

Comment: I think the headline has got to be an understatement, there are so many holes in the IPCC ship, it has all but sunk ... Others are a little bit more forceful in their opinions, see below:

I thought of killing myself, says climate scandal professor Phil Jones
Times Online, 7th February 2010

THE scientist at the centre of the “climategate” email scandal has revealed that he was so traumatised by the global backlash against him that he contemplated suicide.

Professor Phil Jones said in an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times that he had thought about killing himself “several times”. [...]

In emails that were hacked into and seized upon by global-warming sceptics before the Copenhagen climate summit in December, Jones appeared to call upon his colleagues to destroy scientific data rather than release it to people intent on discrediting their work monitoring climate change.

Jones, 57, said he was unprepared for the scandal: “I am just a scientist. I have no training in PR or dealing with crises.”

Comment: Was this man living in a dream world? The information from the CRU was being used to create government policy and 'entrepreneurs' like Al Gore, had created the next big financial bubble based on carbon trading, to fleece the public through scam companies and the government would get their pay-off in taxation. Now, that his connivance has been brought to light, he is whinging about death threats. If Jones had remained a true scientist, he would not have this problem now. At least I am not the only one that has worked this out, see YouTube videos, The Story of Cap and Trade

UFO traffic report for February 6, 2010
UFO Examiner, 6th February 2010

UFO traffic this past week is scattered across the country, based on the most recent reports coming into the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

Comment: Well, I like these traffic reports. Here we have a selection of critter behaviour with orbs flying in formation like geese that have been described over and over again. Orbs splitting apart, the usual bright light orbs and the odd metallic looking objects, the ones that have fooled people for decades who thought they might be alien spacecraft or probes. The first report is odd and I think there is always an element of wanting to scare people with reports and I get the feeling that some ufologists are desperately trying to maintain the alien/ET humanoids meme...besides that, the usual fare!

Is climate change the new faith?
The Guardian, 6th February 2010

University of East Anglia scientist Paul Dennis denies leaking material, but links to climate change sceptics in US drew him to attention of the investigators

As a climate change agnostic – and I suspect most of us are, especially now, and more especially after the Guardian series this week – I've been bothered by two aspects of the argument. The first is the religious overtone. Humankind has always wanted to blame its own behaviour for natural events, whether Noah's flood, plagues of frogs, or volcanos which demonstrate that the gods are angry.

Three years ago a British bishop announced that gay marriage had caused our floods. I've often wondered whether global warming is another example of this, an irrational belief designed for a rationalist world.

And there is an element of religious faith in the true believers. Those who disagree are "deniers", with its echo of fanatics who don't believe in the Holocaust. Years ago I saw a sceptic howled down at a British Association meeting; [...]

Years ago I cowrote a book, Bizarre Beliefs, about various crazy things people believe in, such as astrology, the Bermuda Triangle and spiritualism. Most of them generated vast amounts of data from which believers simply cherry-picked whatever suited their case.The world's climate produces millions upon millions of facts and figures, and it's very easy to select the ones that suit you and ignore all the rest. Of course I don't know who's right. But I'm not surprised to see the true believers struggling.

Comment: This concept of cherry-picking what you want to believe and ignoring everything else means that you can get to the stage where reality leaps out and may even knock you out cold. To provide a vehicle for popularising climate change and "global warming", the 'Green' movement has been hijacked to maintain the view that we are responsible for the obvious evolutionary changes taking place on this planet (we have sinned and fallen short of the glory of the environment, etc). At the same time, there is a change of consciousness that can be expressed as the Green 'meme' and those who understand this have worked very hard to take advantage of this level of consciousness. My real concern now is that we are moving to a more cosmic understanding of our reality. People have been ignoring the UFO issue for decades and now we are experiencing a dimensional shift. Fortunately, there have been many people who have chosen to write books, make documentaries and set up websites, so it should not come as too much of a shock for some, despite the fact that some people's motivation has been to maintain the mystery but others have sought to find the truth and now it's the moment of truth. Those who have cherry picked what they wanted to believe and ignored the rest, are now in for a rude awakening on many different fronts.

If you're going to do good science, release the computer code too
The Guardian News, 5th February 2010

Programs do more and more scientific work - but you need to be able to check them as well as the original data, as the recent row over climate change documentation shows

One of the spinoffs from the emails and documents that were leaked from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia is the light that was shone on the role of program code in climate research. There is a particularly revealing set of "README" documents that were produced by a programmer at UEA apparently known as "Harry". The documents indicate someone struggling with undocumented, baroque code and missing data – this, in something which forms part of one of the three major climate databases used by researchers throughout the world.

Many climate scientists have refused to publish their computer programs. I suggest is that this is both unscientific behaviour and, equally importantly, ignores a major problem: that scientific software has got a poor reputation for error.

Comment: The mainstream are only following on from the sentiment in the blogosphere but it can't be emphasised enough. This notion is of particular interest to me because as a researcher as I have found that it's not always a good idea to rely on other's work. In some cases, when I have done the analysis based on the same data I have been able to completely dismiss ideas that have become established on extremely faulty reasoning and focus on more important knowledge that opens the way for a revelation.

Smart dust could give early warning of space storms
New Scientist, 5th February 2010

A SWARM of "smart dust" spacecraft, positioned at a sweet spot between the Earth and the sun, could alert us to the approach of dangerous space storms well before a conventional craft can. The first prototypes are due for launch into low-Earth orbit this year, perhaps as early as May. [...]

The chips are essentially small solar panels with a radio antenna, and could act as a solar wind sensor (Acta Astronautica DOI: 10.1016/j.actaastro.2009.12.008).

The team envisage sending a whole swarm of these "smart dust" chips to the Lagrange point, where they would monitor the strength of the solar wind. They would also warn of any oncoming gusts of charged particles that could disrupt communicationsMovie Camera and electronic systems on Earth.

After the tiny craft has been dropped off at the Lagrange point, the effect of solar radiation moves it closer to the sun. Peck estimates that this could give an extra 13 minutes' notice of a storm compared with larger solar monitoring craft such as NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer. [...]

Colin McInnes from the University of Strathclyde in the UK says: "There is a strong international interest in 'spacecraft-on-a-chip' concepts. Peck's group have some great ideas which are firmly grounded in terrestrial applications of microelectromechanical technology."

Comment: The Lagrange point is a place in space where gravitational forces are cancelled out and satellites can literally hover in space. As I wrote in my book, there is a whole "armada" of spacecraft at L1 watching for the slightest hiccup from the Sun. This is part of the international efforts to maintain our current communication infrastructure that is under threat from Space Weather and reveals the reality of a New Age dominated by space and the ether.

Detectives question climate change scientist over email leaks
The Guardian, 4th February 2010

University of East Anglia scientist Paul Dennis denies leaking material, but links to climate change sceptics in US drew him to attention of the investigators

A scientist at the University of East Anglia has been questioned by detectives investigating how controversial emails were leaked from the campus's climate research unit.

Norfolk police have interviewed and taken a formal statement from Paul Dennis, 54, another climate researcher who heads an adjacent laboratory.

The leaked emails from the head of the unit, Professor Phil Jones, surfaced just before the Copenhagen conference in December and caused a furore because they suggested that data which did not support theories of global warming was being deliberately withheld. Dennis denies leaking the material. But it is understood that his links with climate change sceptic bloggers in North America drew him to the attention of the investigating team, and have exposed rifts within the university's environmental science faculty.

Comment: Have they found the hero? Quite frankly, the piece written by James Delingpole with an explantion from Paul Dennis about his connection with climate sceptics McIntyre, Watts and the website 'The Air Vent', fills me with more intrigue lot less... surely this is the stuff of Sherlock Holmes? See Climategate leaker finally revealed?

DC, Mid-Atlantic Bracing for 'Snowmageddon'
AOL News, 5th February 2010

The second massive -- and potentially record-breaking -- snowstorm of this winter has begun pounding the Mid-Atlantic region. The storm already has been dubbed "Snowmageddon" as it is expected to dump 1 to 2 feet of snow by the time it winds down Saturday evening.

The heaviest snowfall totals most likely will be in West Virginia, northern Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, southern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. This, of course, includes the heavily populated corridor from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore to Philadelphia. A slight northward jaunt of the storm would bring the very heavy snow northward to New York City, Long Island and perhaps even southern New England.

Comment: I just like the headline, but the snowfall in the northern hemisphere this year has been excessive and I am waiting for a atmospheric scientist or expert to comment. Personally, I think that 'Snowmageddon' is better than 'Armageddon'....

How the face of Pluto changed in just two years (do you think they can blame it on global warming?)
Daily Mail, 5th February 2010

Nasa scientists have been left stunned after detailed images of the surface of Pluto reveal it has dramatically changed colour over just a two-year period.

The Hubble Telescope captured the images, which are the most detailed and dramatic ever taken of the distant dwarf planet. They revealed that the cosmic body, demoted from full planet status in 2006, is significantly redder than it has been for the past several decades.

The photos show a mottled world with a yellow-orange hut, but astronomers say it is 20 per cent more red than it used to be. At the same time its illuminated northern hemisphere is getting brighter, while the southern hemisphere has darkened. [...]

Astronomers say Pluto's surface is changing even more than the surface of other bodies in the solar system. Marc Buie, of the Southwest Research Institute, said: 'It's a little bit of a surprise to see these changes happening so big and so fast. This is unprecedented.'

Comment: I was going to be cautious about this change over a two year period, but the editors of the Daily Mail have probably got the sentiment right in their headline. Due to the massive increases in energy from galactic sources, astronomers simply cannot assume that changes are due to 'seasonl changes'. Each planet in our solar system is connected to the rest of the universe and cannot be considered a closed system. Since we are now receiving MEGA galactic blasts from Magnetars, that can give off as much energy in .2 seconds, as the sun gives off in 200,000 years, energy driven evolutionary change is happening right now.

Mexican journalist to present evidence of UFO sightings
The Monitor, 4th February 2010

McALLEN — Mexican UFOlogist Jaime Maussan is convinced mankind will see a marked change in the year 2012.

“It could be a change in the climate or in the human being itself,” Maussan said. Maussan, who has collected, documented and researched videos, pictures and sightings of UFOs and extraterrestrials for the past 26 years, considers the possibility of a 2012 mass destruction “a stupidity.”

“The Mayans believed that every 5,125 years there would be a change, and that period is due on Dec. 21, 2012,” said Maussan, a former anchor and reporter for the Mexican edition of 60 Minutes.

“I’m a journalist, not a scientist, and as journalist I am not prejudiced,” he said. “I collect the images that are sent to me and I present them to the public, and they are the ones that make up their minds.” [...] [UFOlogist Jaime Maussan talks about Mayan prophecies for 2012 Thursday at the Roof Top Lounge in Edinburg.]

Comment: Well, Mexico is one place in the world where there is a very strong UAP presence. I actually agree with Jaime Maussan and his views about 2012, so I hope he has got the message that we are seeing masssive evolutionary change. Quite frankly, I was stunned to learn about the Mayan belief of the return of the B'alameb' who are the cosmic guardians of the four corners of the universe. From the sparse information on the internet, it looks like the vast majority of Mayan researchers missed this Mayan prophecy and the connection with 2012. Hence, it would be interesting to count up how many Mayan researchers made any references to what might happen. See my book review The Book of Destiny: Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012

A brite light but a big black shapeite ahind it - Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland
UK UFO Sightings, 31st January 2010 (New Updates)

Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland -30th January 2010
Jan.31, 2010 in Classic UFO Sightings, Fife
Location of Sighting: Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland
Date of Sighting: 30 January 2010
Time: 10 .50pm
Witness Name: Tam and Brenda Westwater

Witness Statement: I had just got back fae the pub with the missus and was taking the dug oot fir a walk doon the field at the back of the house when all of a sudden the dug went beserk and nearly pulled me over. I looked up tae see a bight light travelling at some speed heading doon towards kirkcaldy. Nae sound except fir a whooshing noise. Ah thocht ah wis seeing things at first but the dug was gaun spare and then the next minute anither UFO came richt ower the top of us and stopped about a hundred feet away.

The dug stairted tae whimper and lay doon and nevir evir does that. Hes a 12 stane rottweiller and a braw gaurd dug and ah hive never seen him daen that afore. The UFO was still fir about 1 minite – a brite light but a big black shapeite ahind it – then it whooshed away tae a rondyvoo with the ither one near kirkcaldy. Ah hiv no slept all nite and neether has the dug, just whimpering and lieing oan the the flair. WE ARE NOT ALONE and ah hiv nae idea what these things were but they ARE NOT OFF THIS WORLD. Something needs tae be done.

Comment: This close encounter has sparked quite a debate and so I have added the full account. To be honest, I don't like the fact that some people and their pets are terrified after close encounters with UAPs. I have used an image icon from a previous highly publicised event in Ross-shire, Scotland. Here are more replies from Tam and Brenda Westwater, who has taken some ribbing for writing in a local dialect.

Aye right Jean an ah’m really sorry that ma english disnae measure up tae what ye expect but thats jist the way things are up here. Next time yir in Lochgelly you look me up and ah’ll show ye a wee bit culture. Thats if ah’ve no been abducted or interfeered with by then. Seriously hen, ah wid hiv prefered no tae hiv seen oanythin oan saturday an ah wid jist like things tae be normal again. So ah’m sorry if ah’m a disapoinment, but there ye go. Andy, cheers fir that pal. Dinnae think its frae Leuchars cos thir wis nae noise like oany jets ah hiv heard jist a whooshing sound like air rushing ootae a valve in a tyre. Uncanny.

Hullo again. Jist read the bit about the flahin lights. Thats what ah kin recolect tae but ah cannae be sure about the colour as ah wis mair taken wi what wis hapenin tae the dug. Ah looked at the vid frae Edinburgh but ah dinnae think the one ah saw was daen oany piryet movement. But ah think it wis flashin. Ah hiv tae say its been a crazy week. Still nae ansers jist mair questions. This wis the first day the dug wis able to go out and he wisnae oanything like his auld self. Got to the end of the street and wanted hame again. Ah cannae believe some of the things ah’m readin on this site.

Personally I would be delighted if Tam was abducted by aliens. And they can have his dug too.
Brenda

The abduction comment is quite hilarious.... LOL!! Once again, I apologise to website visitors who are totally unfamiliar with Scottish dialects.
As a reminder: We are seeing the manifestation of a plasmatic lifeform that historically has only occasionally appeared to us. What is happening now is a dimensional shift -- the Apocalypse -- and our world is being transformed. In 1980, the most famous UFO incident in the UK occured at Rendlesham Forest near 2 military bases RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk County, England. For many reasons, that event was highly instructive, see archives, Best of the Blog - Orbs, UAP Traffic & UFO Disclosure. If you try to follow the story, you will find different accounts that have been spread to cause confusion about what happened, that is called disinformation. The most interesting information has come from the military men under hypnosis , hence we have it on record that when RAF Bentwaters Airman 1st Class John Burroughs undergoing hynopsis was regressed, the hynotherapist asked if there were any life forms within the craft, the reply from him was: "The light IS the life form". Most people have been brainwhashed into thinking that all UFO sightings could be 'aliens' in spacecraft. Sorry, the truth is most bright lights are an intelligent plasmatic lifeform and plasma can have a wide variety of composititon appearing like metal, to liquid fire to crystalline to light, do the research!

Motivational Speaker Charged in Sweat Lodge Deaths
ABC News, 3rd February 2010

James Arthur Ray, leader of fatal AZ sweat lodge ceremony, arrested on 3 manslaughter counts

Motivational speaker James Arthur Ray was arrested Wednesday on manslaughter charges after three people died following a northern Arizona sweat lodge ceremony he led last year. Ray was taken into custody on an indictment at his attorney's office in Prescott and later led into the Yavapai County jail in Camp Verde wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes and a dark jacket. His bond was set at $5 million, and his first court hearing was scheduled Thursday.Ja

Ray's attorneys said Wednesday he surrendered to authorities but that the charges were unjust and they were confident he would be exonerated in court. If convicted, he faces a minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 12 1/2 years on each count.

Comment: I will imagine that there is quite a few other New Wagers out there extremely worried. They will not care about James Ray or the people that have died, their primary concern will be if the tactics being used by James Ray to get people into a state where they lose their sense of self, to the extent that they lose their lives will be exposed in the media frenzy that will accompany this trial. I will say that as I have studied James Ray and others that are using covert methods of hynosis and mind control, it's been an absolute eye-opener and I just hope there is an opportunity for many people to be educated and enlightened.

The global warming guerrillas
Spectator.co.uk, 3rd February 2010

Matt Ridley salutes the bloggers who changed the climate debate. While most of Fleet Street kowtowed to the green lobby, online amateurs uncovered the spin and deception that finally cracked the consensus.

Journalists are wont to moan that the slow death of newspapers will mean a disastrous loss of investigative reporting. The web is all very well, they say, but who will pay for the tenacious sniffing newshounds to flush out the real story? ‘Climategate’ proves the opposite to be true. It was amateur bloggers who scented the exaggerations, distortions and corruptions in the climate establishment; whereas newspaper reporters, even after the scandal broke, played poodle to their sources.

Comment: This is something that I have thought hard about myself, and it has forced me to consider how one can define "spiritual intelligence". Climate bloggers could see through the lies and were empowered enough to make a difference with no budget and lots of negativity against them, but they prevailed and have changed our future. Meanwhile, I am educating myself as to why so many people are asleep or have voluntarily closed down, whilst our world is experiencing the greatest transition in the history of mankind.

India to 'pull out of IPCC'
The Telegraph, 4th February 2010

India has threatened to pull out of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and set up its on climate change body because it "cannot rely" on the group headed by its own Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr R K Pachauri.

The Indian government's move is a snub to both the IPCC and Dr Pachauri as he battles to defend his reputation following the revelation that his most recent climate change report included false claims that most of the Himalayan glaciers would melt away by 2035. [...]

Dr Pachauri had dismissed the government's claims as "voodoo science", but last night Mr Ramesh effectively marginalised the IPCC chairman even further.

He announced that the Indian government will establish a separate National Institute of Himalayan Glaciology to monitor the effects of climate change on the world's "third ice cap", and an "Indian IPCC" to use "climate science" to assess the impact of global warming throughout the country.

"There is a fine line between climate science and climate evangelism. I am for climate science. I think people misused [the] IPCC report ... [the] IPCC doesn't do the original research which is one of the weaknesses ... they just take published literature and then they derive assessments, so we had goof-ups on Amazon forest, glaciers, snow peaks.

Sprigg nodded as Taylor referred to "mounting scandals" at the IPCC and then responded, "There will be some reform. I think there's going to be big changes in the peer review process for the IPCC. There will be--there are--calls for the head of [IPCC Chairman Raj] Pachauri. Some of my colleagues have written letters saying that he needs to be taken off the job ..."

Climategate Consequences: The Mann Report
Pajamas Media, 3rd February 2010

When the Climategate story first broke, a lot of adherents of the skeptical view of anthropogenic climate change were mightily excited — proclaiming it the “end of the global warming hoax.” They have been disappointed because the breaking story wasn’t immediately followed by the resignation of everyone involved, the termination of all U.S. action on cap and trade, and tar and feathers for Al Gore.

This was a little unrealistic. There are a lot of vested interests involved, a lot of money that depends on the CO2-driven AGW narrative, a lot of people with wealth and reputations on the line. That’s a lot of inertia, and the narrative won’t change course quickly. That doesn’t mean nothing is happening, however. [...]

Today’s breaking news is that the initial report on Mann’s conduct has been released. The report itself isn’t very exciting. If not a whitewash, it’s at least a bit of a graywash, as they very carefully restricted the topics and questions they considered. But it’s not a complete vindication for Mann, either (no matter what the Huffington Post says).

The report concluded that Mann should be subject to further investigation, saying there was a real question whether Mann’s conduct “may be undermining confidence in his findings as a scientist,” or “may be undermining public trust in science in general and climate science specifically.” In effect, the committee says there is evidence that Mann violated the social contract of science.

The report announces the formation of a university committee to investigate this further, and frankly, Mann could be in some trouble on this.

Comment: It looks like some good news. No matter how the AGW folk want to spin this, Mann is continually being embroiled in scientific scandal and he is fundamentally linked to what has been called the biggest scientific hoax in history. Before, his biggest fraud was the 'Hockey Stick' graph used by the IPCC and Al Gore, but this proven scientific fraud was not so well known, but after Climategate, he is now highly exposed. Therefore, it's impossible to let Mann get away with bringing this kind of negative press to a university that will do whatever it takes to maintain a good reputation. I think this is the best short analysis I have seen on the Mann situation so far. The now world famous climate sceptic Steve McIntyre, the climate auditor that put the fear back into the hearts of dishonest scientists, has stated his views, see: The Mann Report

Twenty-Fifth Series Of German-Russian Plasma Physics Experiments
Spacedaily.com, 4th February 2010

From 27 to 29 January 2010, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov will be running the 25th series of complex plasma physics experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has funded both the development of the experimental equipment and the research itself. [...]

In the experiments on the ISS , the electrical field between two electrodes converts an inert gas such as argon or neon into a plasma. Particles of a synthetic material, each measuring no more than a few microns across, are then injected into this plasma.

The particles become electrically charged by the plasma field and gain the same polarity. Since they repel each other, they form a structurally ordered aggregate which eventually leads to the development of a crystal structure, similar to that of many metals, known as a plasma crystal.

Comment: Well, I can't work out why they are doing this experiment in the cramped quarters of the ISS, but it's very interesting. We have a crystalline plasma on our doorstep (Fluffy or formally known as Local Fluff by NASA, a crystalline cloud that is 30 light years wide) and it seems the race has been on to understand what might happen. Yet, the metaphysical community have been encouraged by channelled messages to sort out their energy fields, and to expect the arrival of diamond ray or diamond flame energy. I wrote my book about the new phenomena of Space Weather and it's impact, with an emphasis on the need to strengthen the human energy field so that it could act as a more effective shield. This naturally happens in the process of spiritual evolution anyway, but being more conscious of your evolving energy field will act to speed the process up and there are techniques that can be used. However, it is only recently that I discovered that a rarified plasma a million times less dense than air can deflect a beam of electrons that would normally bore through steel. This has only strengthened my conviction that I had understood the science and metaphysics enough to make my claims. Still, I am pleased that I made the connection with the human energy field and how NASA scientists plan to shield spacecraft in the highly radioactive environment of space. This collection of facts is all highly relevant, as we learn that Earth is lowering her shields to Space Weather. Since, my interest has always been to integrate science and metaphyiscs, even I am shocked by what has been hidden and is now only becoming known and fully understood.

Remote Controlled Helium Balloon Mistaken For UFO [Missouri, US]
Kake News, 3rd February 2010

Those bright lights in the sky aren't Martians -- just a Missouri inventor. Some people in the Lake St. Louis area called police to report lights in the night sky. But it wasn't a UFO. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports a local inventor was just testing a remote-controlled helium balloon. Paul Bauer even had a ring of flashing, colored LED lights in on his contraption. The balloon was tied to his truck and hovered 100 feet in the air.

Comment: What a joke! Now we have "remote controlled helium balloons"... was this local inventor also a clown on his way to work? Do you remember the UK farmer in the Altrincham, Greater Manchester area, with his helium party balloons that were supposedly tied to his house? Someone estimated these 'balloons' had to be at least 22,000 ft high up in the sky so that they could be seen all over the county! That was a stupid made-up story too....

UFO's Spotted Over Brooklyn?
So, are these balloons over new York?

Huge Meteorite spotted over Ireland, February 03, 2010
UFO Blogger, 3rd February 2010

According to media reports a major fireball was spotted over Ireland at around 6pm this evening. It says the rock from space was seen blazing in the air by people all over the country.

Astronomy Ireland says there is a very good chance it has landed inland, but it is unlikely to have injured anyone.It is not clear yet where it might have landed because the fireball was spotted by people all over the country.

While it would have been travelling at high speed when it was spotted, the rock would have slowed down when it hit the atmosphere. Valentia Coastguard said it has had reports of sightings from people living in Mullingar, Limerick, Ballybunion and Bantry.

Comment: Verification Fireball spotted over Ireland, RTE News link 1 & Irish Times link 2 This video has been picked up by RTE news, see RTE news clip on YouTube [3:38], but some people are claiming the video is fake... see Meteor spotted in Ireland from RTE News Astronomers say, "MAJOR EVENT".

Update
This is very strange, I have replaced the image icon here because there seems to be agreement that the video is fake, but the lack of images and video is very strange. At the same time that there was initial excitement about this meteor, it was known that the Danish Oersted Satellite was under threat from space junk and immediately there were rumours that the Irish army have sealed off the area in Cavan, County where the "meteorite" had fallen. At the moment, there has to be some merit to the speculation that this was a satellite that has come down, rather like the other bizarre event in Latvia, October 2009, where a mobile phone operator claimed it was a publicity stunt, see archives.

A "Nobel Torsion Message" Over Norway? Part III
Enterprisemission.com, February 2010

In the extended pre-dawn darkeness over Norway last December, as we have recounted in Parts I and II of this Report ... "something" truly amazing happened--

And reaction immediately divided into two totally opposing views: Those who "bought" the official media story ... that "it was only another failed Russian missile test ..."--

And then ... those who thought "it just might be something else this time ...." [...] "Chladni Figures" are not limited to sound ....

These fantastic, vibrational, geometric symmetries can ALSO be produced by electromagnetic excitation of "a standing-wave pattern in an electrified medium -- i.e. a plasma" ... like the Earth's ionosphere ... some ~50 miles up.

Or ... like a standing-wave pattern externally imposed upon a cloud of dispersed aerosols ... just like those that would be vented into space-- From "a spinning, failing rocket!"

Comment: When you are dealing with researchers with an agenda or are trying to promote themselves, who may or may not have a good academic background, they know that a lot of people cannot challenge them. Richard Hoagland, who runs the enterprisemission.com website does not have brilliant credentials. Simply, what I do is pick up bits and pieces of information from different sources and try and reconcile them. I don't feel the need to jump on bandwagons and churn out something quick. Here we are told, "In fact, EISCAT was specifically scheduled to carry out a high-power ionosphere dual-frequency experiment ... at dawn .... " However Norwegian sources have already made it clear that North of Tromso, in Northern Norway, it is not dawn until noon, so the Norway Spiral appearing at approx. 7.50am could not have been caused by EISCAT. The explanation of the Russian missile again is just ridiculous and I wish people would let this idea drop, it's just too stupid for words. Russian scientists would not let an out of control missile fly over Finland, Sweden and Norway, and there are no reports of an out of control missile being seen by anyone. These are NATO countries and there has been NO row with the Russians... Please note, if this event took place over the White Sea, then we would expect to see mystery spiral photos and video taken from Finland and Sweden too, but there are no images accept for maybe 1 that has not been verified. The only part of this report that is interesting is the discussion of plasma and gives us more of an idea of what might have been happening. I don't like the talk of politics and the ending of the US Moon program being included in the smorgasbord of information, so I certainly think the conclusions here are just pure speculation. However, there is no doubt about it, there is certainly high strangeness going on at the moment...

BBC asks WUWT for help
Watts Up with That, 3rd February 2010

I received this email this morning from Roger Harribin, the BBC’s environmental analyst. It’s interesting because I received an email from the Guardian yesterday asking if I’d like to write a 200 word guest piece. Unfortunately it somehow ended up in my spam filter (which I found this morning) so I missed the 3 PM GMT deadline today.

From: Roger Harrabin – Internet

Subject: BBC query

Dear Mr Watts,

I am trying to talk to UK scientists in current academic posts who are sceptical about AGW.

I’m struggling to find anyone – but there may of course be a number of reasons for this. Please could you post my request on your website – and ask people to email roger.harrabin@bbc.co.uk.

We are looking for scientists, of course – not insults.

It strikes me that it might be useful to meet sometime to discuss a project I am planning on the weather.

I enclose my latest column

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8491154.stm

which touches on the difficulties of reporting climate change FYI.

I look forward to hearing from you

Yours
Roger Harrabin

If you know of a skeptical scientist in the UK that may be interested, please advise them of this. Thanks to all for your consideration. – Anthony

Comment: Wow! Please note the comments on this blog, some do not trust the BBC and as others have revealed, scientists do have to worry about their career prospects if they are seen to step out of line. That is because, as every man and his dog now knows, what scientists are allowed to study, is highly controlled. Hence, many scientists wait until nearing retirement before they get off the gravy train and/or decide to upset the apple cart... sorry about the mixed metaphors...

Suspected Asteroid Collision Leaves Odd X-Pattern of Trailing Debris
NASA News, 2nd February 2010

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has observed a mysterious X-shaped debris pattern and trailing streamers of dust that suggest a head-on collision between two asteroids. Astronomers have long thought the asteroid belt is being ground down through collisions, but such a smashup has never been seen before. [...]

At the time of the Hubble observations, the object was approximately 180 million miles from the sun and 90 million miles from Earth. The Hubble images were recorded with the new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), which is capable of detecting house-sized fragments at the distance of the asteroid belt.

Comment: Hmmm... NASA scientists still want to talk about ice, you just have to laugh... Whatever it is, we have never seen anything like it before... the more one finds out about the universe, the more it becomes apparent that we don't know much...

Mystery: UFO Spotted Flying Across Sun
The Sun, 1st February 2010

A BRITISH stargazer has taken an amazing video of a UFO crossing the face of the sun Malcolm Park was taking a series of photos of the huge star through a specially filtered telescope when a strange object began to drift across it.

Malcolm, of South West London, said: "I was recording activity on the sun when I caught this strange encounter. It looks like an irregularly-shaped lump of rock and is clearly rotating very quickly.

Comment: Well, if you spend a lot of time on conspiracy forums you will know that there has been a lot of excitement in the last week, but I decided to wait and see what happens. Now, the mainstream has decided to report various strange objects in space. The video clip [0:28] here is quite nice. Please note: the spheres that have been seen in the Sun's corona, do not display the characteristics described here. At the moment, I have decided to refrain from speculation until the facts become clearer as to what is happening.

Pilot sees fiery UFOs in sky over Rugby
Coventry Telegraph, 1st February 2010

A PILOT has described a “bewildering” close encounter with a pair of low-flying UFOs in Warwickshire. The two glowing petal-shaped craft silently skimmed along at about 1,500ft – the height of a modern skyscraper – until they disappeared behind clouds. The qualified pilot, based at Coventry Airport, watched the spectacle unfold from a garden in Rugby. “I was looking at the stars when a circular object came into view from behind a cloud,” said the man, who asked to remain anonymous.

The object was very clearly visible and was neither a traditional aircraft nor a balloon. “It was circular in shape but had a structure which resembled flower petals extending outwards from the centre and the petals where very strongly illuminated and appeared to be glowing as if they were on fire.

Comment: This sighting was logged 1st September 2009, on the UK UFO sightings and I actually reported it as Pilot sees round object with a petal structure extending outwards - Rugby, Warwickshire [UK] Remember folks, these entities are part of a "shadow" biosphere on Earth that scientists cannot detect because they are not really interested in finding anything, but the general public are seeing them appear everywhere they look... Personally, I would love to know what was discussed in London at The Royal Society behind closed doors last week. Are we really expected to believe that these scientists don't have a clue what is going on? Our reality has changed forever... When will the "powers that be" stop pretending that nothing has changed? What's more, I'd be interested in how they would explain it too...

Climategate scientist 'hid flaws in data', say sceptics
The Independent, 2nd February 2010

Professor in leaked email scandal tried to hide fact that numbers he used were wrong

The "climategate" controversy intensified last night when the senior British scientist at its centre, Professor Phil Jones, faced fresh accusations that he attempted to withhold data that could cast doubt on evidence for rising world temperatures.

The charges follow an analysis of the emails hacked from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, of which Professor Jones is the director.

Comment: I am so proud of Anthony Watts, Stephen McIntyre, Lord Monckton and all the other climate realists that banded together and changed the destiny of our world! This is a comment on WUWT, BernieL (20:30:17) :

Now let me take this in: This is Fred Pearce (of New Scientist anti-deniers fame) taking a journalistic lead with an investigative piece in the Guardian that drawing into question the station data that is the basis of the very first question of the whole dispute, vis: Is the world really warming? And in doing so he is vindicating what the vilified sceptics were saying all along. Wow, folks, have I got that right?

REPLY: Yes that’s right, and you know what else is amazing? The Guardian authors emailed me this afternoon to make sure I knew about this story. I’ve never been given a tip from the Guardian staff before, ever. – Anthony
Layne Blanchard (21:08:39) : Holy heat sink, batman…. er, uh, Anthony! You were just commenting a day or two ago about how these stories suddenly get their legs. Could it really be happening? The last few weeks have been one revelation after another.

Can you see what it is yet? How a flock of starlings can look just like a bird, a duck and even a turtle
Daily Mail, 2nd February 2010

Flocks of starlings are renowned for forming a variety of shapes in the sky. But on this occasion they must have been overcome by vanity – and created a giant starling for us ground-dwellers to admire. The countless creatures created the awesome display by using the winter breeze as the low-setting sun caused the sky to glow red.

Comment: This is a nice reminder of morphogenetic fields that acts as a guidance system for all life on Earth. These starlings practice group behaviour that scientists do not understand. The theory of Morphgenesis by Rupert Sheldrake is generaly shunned by the academic community but science and observation will surely eventually proven that he has got this right. An individual morphogenetic field is a field of information that is held in the environment for all forms of life on this planet. It is continuously updated by the individual forms of life and also is updated by the universe by cosmic influences. As we are in a period of evolutionary change, these morphogenetic fields are being upgraded now and the science of evolutionary biology would suggest that all forms of life will start to mutate but eventually end up at a pre-ordained destiny controlled by these environmental fields.

Prayer Increases Forgiveness, Study Shows
Science Daily, 1st February 2010

We have all been guilty of a transgression at one time or another. That's because we're not perfect. We all commit hurtful acts, violate trust, and hope for forgiveness.

That's simply a fact, and here's another one: Nine out of 10 Americans say that they pray -- at least on occasion. Florida State University psychologist Nathaniel Lambert put these two facts together and came up with an idea: Why not take all that prayer and direct it at the people who have wronged us? Is it possible that directed prayer might spark forgiveness in those doing the praying -- and in the process preserve relationships?

Comment: It certainly interesting what people are researching these days and then getting it reported in the mainstream media.

Volcano-like eruptions in Arunachal
Times of India, 31st January 2010

Copy: ITANAGAR: In a very rare phenomenon on Indian soil, volcano-like eruptions have triggered large-scale forest fires that are threatening vast tracts of forests in Arunachal Pradesh. There is no official word on these "eruptions" that have occurred in the last few days in the Dehu Mountain range in Kurung Kumey district.

Sources from the remote area said a forest fire has broken out at nearby Langa Tata Mountain situated in between Yangte and Chambang. Arunachal West MP Takam Sanjay has requested CM Dorjee Khandu to seek help from the Geological Survey of India, Department of Mines and Minerals and Forests to investigate into the phenomenon.

In August 2007, similar eruptions had disturbed residents near Kimin in Lower Subansiri district, in which coal-like substances were detected after the remains had cooled down. While scientists from GSI and the Arunachal government's geology and mining department collected evidence, they didn't confirm presence of lava.

Local authorities claimed the fires then were caused by electric short-circuit that generated enough heat to melt stones around a 200sq metre area.

Comment: Remember the incident in Sicily (see archives) where the authorities decided to blame aliens rather than admit it was too much electrical charge in the ground? So the problem of spontaneous fires in peoples' homes was fixed by updating electrical wiring! It just makes you wonder... As the build up of evolutionary energies accelerates, there are going to be places on this planet that are not adequately balanced and there will be more of these kind of incidents.

Fiery jelly-fish in the sky over Ewell Surrey [UK]

Location of Sighting: West Ewell, Surrey KT19 9EB
Date of Sighting: 30/1/2010, Time: 10pm
Witness Name: Penelope

Witness Statement: went out to walk the dog and noticed a bright orange fiery light moving fast across the sky towards me from west to east, it looked jellyfish shape with tendrills or like the fire in a hot air baloon, but upside down. It was unlike anything ive ever seen before and maintained it’s course until out of sight.

Comment: I used to live in Epsom so I am intrigued how folk in the posh surburbs are going to cope with our new cosmic reality. Fiery jellyfish in the sky, how weird is that! LOL!! There are lots more new reports on this website but most are variations on a theme, the report below just made me laugh...

A brite light but a big black shapeite ahind it - Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland
I don't think this entry is a joke... it's a shame, but Google don't offer a Scottish to English translation... I liked the rondyvoo bit... LOL! This sighting has sparked quite a debate!

It’s landing on earth that turns a meteor into a meteorite
The Day, 30th January 2010

Geologists and meteorite scientists Linda Welzenbach and Cari Corrigan of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History talked about the Lorton, Va., meteorite incident, explaining how it happened and answering questions about things falling from space.

Comment: I have to say that I have been guilty of not getting the distinction of meteor and meteorite correct but I like the word meteorite... Apparently, while it's out in space an object is called a meteoroid just ti add to the technicalities. This is a short Q&A that might be helpful for some as cosmic rocks continue to rain down on Earth.

Newfoundland's UFO mystery not any closer to being solved
Digital Journal, 29th January 2010

The story of the Newfoundland UFO sighting has swept across Canada in the past week. Newfoundlanders are increasingly uneasy with the reassurances coming from the federal government.

Harbour Mille, Newfoundland - Newfoundlanders on Burin Penninsula are shaking their heads over the pronouncement from the Prime Minister's OfficeThursday, asking why a hobbyist would go to sea to launch a model rocket. Defense Minister Peter MacKay waded into the mystery by saying Friday

"We will provide money to build a landing strip for UFOs at Harbour Mille. No, I'm only kidding. I'm joking. That's a joke."

Eye witness Emmy Pardy spoke to Canadian Press on Friday, panning the model rocket theory proffered by the Prime Minister's Press Secretary.

Comment: The small group of locals seem to be making a lot of noise about this sighting and the rest of Canada are paying attention. I am wondering if the jokes from government officials, are people who know the score (Defence Minister?), but I personally think it's in very bad taste. What's interesing, is the website www.allnewsweb.com that I have many reservations about, was goaded by email from regulars to cover this story but Michael Cohen stated that it was of no interest to them because it was obviously not an ET issue! Are you getting the picture about what this website is about? However, he tells us that this type of UFO event [ghost rockets] are common over China and they are weekly reports, but a video is provided for an event in November 2009, that made news because it was over Shanghai, China. So incredibly, Cohen provides a video of a "plane" plumeting to earth in an apparent nosedive over a major city and someone says thanks, because they feel more reassured! Are people that stupid, well obviously yes! See,

Finnish UFO researcher says winter sun on jet streams creates rocket effect
The Canadian Press, 1st February 2010
"A rocket plume would be thick all the way back to where the rocket was launched. Again, had the sighting not been at sunset, I would have taken this a bit more seriously." Still, Stewart is adamant that what she captured on her digital camera was no jetliner. "To me, it was not a jet," she said from her home Monday in Harbour Mille. "No, no, no. "We didn't hear any noise. No noise. Every airplane that comes over here, whether we're inside or the TV's going, you still hear them. A jet may be farther off but it still makes noise. "To me and my eyes, it was not a jet."
Some academics must think that ALL the general public are stupid! Planes, jets, rockets and missiles make noise, UAPS are generally silent, there is no comparison!

Ethiopian Plane Crash - Front Detached from Body of Plane
Naharnet News, 30th January 2010

The eight identified victims from the Ethiopian doomed plane were business class passengers, hence they were seated in the plane's front, knowing that the business class seats count 16 out of 138 seats available on the plane, An Nahar daily reported on Saturday. [...]

There were conflicting reports as to whether the jet exploded while airborne or after it had hit the water, and officials have said there will be no answers until the data from the black boxes is retrieved and analysed. Officials want to know why the plane veered off course after takeoff, but have ruled out sabotage.

Comment: I have taken the liberty to change the headline. It seems that mystery still surrounds what happened here and there is no explanation yet for why the plane broke up. At the moment this is pure speculation but if the plane took off during a geomagnetic storm, where we know that compasses can swing wildly in minutes, this might explain why it immediately veered off course. This means that the airplanes navigation systems will have been compromised, and then if it was hit by positive lightning, which is 10 times worse than normal lightning, then that might have been enough to knock it out of the skies. Obviously, as I have stated before, it could have been hit by something, but it does not explain why it initially veered off course. NASA have already told us that Space Weather can effect aircraft electronics, so as the electrical environment of Earth intensifies, unless scientific research is made available, we don't know how extreme the EM environment has become.

Firefly Mission to Study Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes
NASA News, 29th January 2010

High-energy bursts of gamma rays typically occur far out in space, perhaps near black holes or other high-energy cosmic phenomena. So imagine scientists' surprise in the mid-1990s when they found these powerful gamma ray flashes happening right here on Earth, in the skies overhead.

They're called Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes, or TGFs, and very little is known about them. They seem to have a connection with lightning, but TGFs themselves are something entirely different.

"In fact," says Doug Rowland of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, "before the 1990s nobody knew they even existed. And yet they're the most potent natural particle accelerators on Earth."

Comment: NASA are studying the extreme EM environment of Earth. As I have stated before, when I wrote my book, scientists gave the impression that these TGFs were firing out into space, but now the story has changed and air passengers could be under threat from the extreme electromagnetic radiation, even up to 600 kilometres away from a blast. It could be that this phenomena has always existed, but since the arrival of Space Weather, the intensity of blasts could have drastically changed and is comparable to the shock of discovering sprites and jets. So even though the atmospheric phenomena of sprites was seen and reported by pilots for nearly 100 years, it was not until 1989 when scientists were provided with the hard evidence and the scientific community woke up to take this phenomena seriously.

PART 1 OF 6 - 2012: Humankind at a Crossroads
SCRIBD.com, January 2010

In this 6 part presentation, author Lauren Tratar describes how the events occurring in our world today have a deeper meaning. Ancient prophecies from civilizations all over the globe describe how ...

Comment: This is a beautifully presented picture book in six parts, filled with quotes and some useful information. However, for educational purposes, the conclusion reached here has to be seriously challenged. It seems that the author believes that mankind's destiny is based on whether or not we understand and apply The Law(s) of the Universe which appears to have been condensed into the overblown Law of Attraction, that every low down confidence trickster in the New Age community is milking for all it's worth these days. I am particular upset that 'The Secret' got a mention, especially as we now know that one of the stars was James Ray, who has proven himself to have been a master of the dark arts, using all the most covert tricks of persuasion that have been appropriated by the most cunning salespeople on the planet. Be warned! There are one or two other characters, briefly mentioned here too that are also under suspicion for the exact same misuse of powers. So, it is clear that the veil is lifting, the planet is being inundated with evolutionary energies and the vast majority of people are totally unprepared for the consequences. This book is useful, as long as you DO NOT believe that this represents the whole of The Big Picture.

Was mysterious jellyfish in sky caused by space satellite reflecting Northern Lights?
Daily Mail, 27th January 2010 New Update

A strange jellyfish-shaped object spotted hanging in the sky over Norway, may have been caused by light from the aurora being bounced off a space satellite, experts say.

If proven it will be the first known case of a satellite reflecting the Northern Lights.

The mysterious phenomenon was photographed last week by amateur photographer Per-Arne Milkalsen over Andenesm, Norway. The photographer became fascinated with aurorae after working at a rocket launch site in the far north of Norway for 25 years. The northern lights are often visible here because it is so close to the North Pole.

Aurorae are caused by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetic field and so are particularly prevalent at the poles where the magnetic forces are strongest.

Mr Mikalsen told the Mail Online: 'I have never seen an object like this before, and I am eager to find an explanation to the phenomenon.'

Comment: A satellite reflecting the Northern Lights! That will never be proven! Well, this is identical to a digital image that occured when a photograph of the sky was taken during daylight, (image icon right) see original story,

Jelly-fish UAP, Purley UK - January 2009.

When I started reporting UAPs, I assumed that they were leaving the planet, but a better ecological perspective might be that as things start to change and the usual habitat is no longer suitable some have decided to leave and some entities are moving around rather than completely leaving the planet. Either way, the veil is lifting and it has become much easier to capture some incredibly interesting images of plasma entities on the move. What's more, the mainstream press are being very helpful in covering these wonders! I have reported a few of these jellyfish sightings over the UK but there have been a lot more in recent times. The oldest account here is very well documented and researched note the image.

Jelly fish UFO photographed over Denmark, April 11, 1975
CAELESTIA web site

"The following much publicized Scandinavian case unfolded when on April 11, 1975, Danish police officer K.K. paid a visit to his regular photo shop in the city of Viborg. In the shop he was shown a most peculiar photograph. The photo, taken by another customer, depicted what appeared to be some kind of unknown aircraft silhouetted against a blue-green morning sky.

Intrigued by this unusual photo, K.K. asked the shop owner if he could have the name and address of its author. The latter turned out to be a well-known local business man. Four days later the men met. An interview was conducted and a police report forwarded to the Chief of Aviation of the Tactical Flight Squadron in Karup, just southwest of Viborg. A copy went to the Danish Police Intelligence Agency. [...]

The much debated photo from Viborg first captured our attention in 1979 when it was published in the January issue of OMNI magazine. To this day, we consider it one of the most intriguing photos in existence. Both ufologists and non-ufologists who investigated the negative agree that it shows no sign of manipulation and depicts a three-dimensional object of considerable dimensions. [...]

The problem is to know whether it shows a solid object, or merely a cloud, as GSW suggested."

Comment: It seems that in the 1970s, ufologists never considered plasma, never mind interdimensional life that occasionally appeared into our reality.

Glowing Orange jellyfish: Sidney, British Columbia, Australia - September 9, 2007
UFO Info, September 2007
"I stepped outside at 9:10 PM, to have a smoke and saw a bright orange ball of light heading south directly at me on September 9, 2007. My wife came out and we watched it pass overhead. I grabbed the binoculars and we both had multiple turns viewing it. My wife describes it as an "orange jellyfish" that I agree with looked like that to me too but it had a structure to the leading edge of the sphere like a crescent. It was very brilliant, pulsated and jiggled slightly. It looked like a glowing orange jellyfish and flew south over Sidney at a increasing rate of speed dimming from view. I have lived by this airport for many years and neither of us have seen anything remotely like that thing. The sighting lasted several minutes giving me time to grab a digital camera and take four pictures of it. The round object was rather large in the field of view with 10 X 50 binoculars. We estimate it was perhaps 1500 feet high and the size of a very large plane. When it passed by me it was only about 2 km's from the airport. I'm an amateur astronomer. Thanks to Brian Vike - Director of HBCC UFO Research. http://www.hbccufo.org/

Witness Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan describes his January 12, 2008 encounter:
"I watch this thing in the police video and it appears to be some type of aerial object that is round. It changes from white to these different colors. The police officer says, ‘Keep watching,’ and I watched for approximately another eight minutes. And then this thing, right in front of my eyes, changes and it looks almost like a jellyfish. I compare it maybe even to a parachute – and now a very bright white. The green and blue and red is no longer flashing. It holds that shape for probably two minutes. And then to my surprise, it changes vertically like a line straight up and down."
Comment: If you look around the internet there are many more examples... The issue we have now is how commonplace these sightings will become... The other thought I have is that for those who have read Charles Fort, the 1975 sighting may be something completely different and represent the occasional glitch in the matrix, you need to read his books which are available online to understand.

Video: Fox News - Study: Sun Storms Could Wipe Out U.S. Power Grid
Eclipptv.com, 30th January 2010

Comment: Fox News presents the new threat of a massive solar storm in 2012. They describe the Sun as a roiling mass of plasma and charged particles and the arrival of a fireball hitting Earth's magnetic field would be a game changer! Yet, even though they say this is the assessment of a new NASA report in fact, it's taken Fox News, a whole year to report the NASA sponsored NAS report! Spaceref.com reported this on the 5th January 2009, see NASA-Funded Study Reveals Hazards of Severe Space Weather .

The Fox news presenter interviews physicist Michio Kaku, who talks about the impact being 10x worse than Katrina, but maybe he needed to read the report first! His emphasis on 2012 is rather embarrassing as the Sun is behaving abnormally and we simply can't say what will happen and when. So at one point, the presenter even called Kaku the Dr of Doom and Gloom! Nobody mentioned Space Weather, but they are warning of our new reality as we enter a New World Age dominated by space and the ether and the new volatile and highly charged solar system conditions that we now find ourselves in. Here is a documentary-drama produced by History Channel. Please remember, this is not entertainment, it is done in this manner to engage people with short attention spans and could happen for real. Solar Storm: Perfect Disaster

Possible fireball [UAP] sighted in night sky around Bozeman - Montana [US]
Bozeman Daily Chronicle, 29th January 2010

Copy: John Blue Mountain Greenfire had just poured a cup of coffee and was outside enjoying the evening air around 8 p.m. Wednesday when he saw what he thought was an airplane on fire, heading toward Belgrade.

But while no fiery jetliner ever touched down at Gallatin Field airport, a white fireball, a type of meteor, was reported over Torrance, Calif., at 8:13 p.m. MST, traveling southeast, according to the American Meteor Society's 2010 Fireball Sightings Table.

"I was really puzzled," said Greenfire, who lives on Sourdough Road in southwest Bozeman. "All I saw was a ball of fire flying northwest for three, maybe four seconds." The Southern California report indicated the fireball was as bright as the full moon.

Joe Shaw, an electrical engineering professor at Montana State University who watches the night sky, did not see the fireball, but said it was possible "someone in Southern California could see it, and we would see it also." "I can't confirm it, but I certainly think it's within the realm of reality," despite the discrepancies in the directions the space objects were traveling, Shaw said. "It's an interesting coincidence at the very least." Cheryl Delaney, who lives in the Castlebar Apartments on North 25th Avenue, went so far as to call 911 to report the event.

"It looked like a jumbo jet on fire," Delaney said. "It flew right over my apartment." She said it was "black as tar with fire dropping from the bottom." Officers on duty, however, did not see the alleged fireball and confirmed no airplanes were flying over the Bozeman area at that time, according to 911 dispatchers.

Comment: I think it is important to note that the phenomena of people reporting "planes of fire" in the sky is now happening all around the world. Importantly, the second eye witness account has to be noted because we know that if people are close enough, they can see pass the fiery plasma cloak and take a good look at the entity inside. Obviously, this was no Chinese lantern... Of course there are lots of reports to choose from, here is more reports with video.

Blue beam of light caught on film - Ratby, Leics [UK]
UK UFO sightings Website, 28th January 2010

Location of Sighting: Ratby, Leics,
Date of Sighting: January 2010, Time: 10pm
Witness Name:C. Gibson

Witness Statement: About 3 weeks back when the snow came down, I was walking the dog around 10pm. I often take photos on my phone, mainly to record dates and such like for, in this instance snow and conditions we rarely see in this country. I had already taken a couple of shots just to catch the beautiful scenes around me in the light of the street lights. It was very dense low cloud at the time as this was obviously the clouds that were depositing the huge amounts of snow up and down the country.

After uploading the snaps on to the PC , I noticed one of the pics had a stange blue beam on the photo just a few yards in front of where I’d been standing. Has any one else seen anything like this?

The curious thing to me , is that it’s about 10 feet from the exact location I was walking the dog on the 7th Nov 09 when I saw my clearest encounter, to date of 2 orange orbs in the sky , only I was walking the other way at the time.

Comment: I have no idea why the UK seems to be getting hit with cosmic energies and the veil seems to have lifted there more than elsewhere, but there is no doubt, it is the best hotspot for reports on the planet! Incredible! Here is another report of what looks like cosmic string entering the Earth with orbs inside, another great photo. Read my book Tuning the Diamonds, if you want some more info on the relationship between orbs and cosmic string. However you could go and find something theoretical... research papers do exist as mathematicians do not theorise about our unseen reality for nothing...

Scenic: Cosmic String with Orbs - Oswestry, Shropshire [UK]
"...Photos of the snow covering we had after Christmas out of the bedroom window, just some random piccies [pics]. When looking at the pictures later on, we noticed a large beam of light from the cloud line to the ground, the tube of light seemed to have smaller lights inside as the picture shows." I have brighten the image to get a better contrast that can be seen here

Gate du Jour – Now it’s Greenpeace reports in the IPCC AR4
Watts Up With That, 29th January 2010

Donna Laframboise, who gave us the list of World Wildlife Fund non peer reviewed studies cited in the IPCC AR4 continues to make lists. Here’s her latest list. Those calm, rational, thoughtful folks at Greenpeace seem to have had a significant hand in the IPCC climate bible.

She writes:

Considered the climate Bible by governments around the world, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report is meant to be a scientific analysis of the most authoritative research.

Instead, it references literature generated by Greenpeace – an organization known more for headline-grabbing publicity stunts than sober-minded analysis. (Eight IPCC-cited Greenpeace publications are listed at the bottom of this post.)

In one section of this Nobel-winning report, climate change is linked to coral reef degradation. The sole source for this claim? A Greenpeace report titled “Pacific in Peril” (see Hoegh-Guldberg below). Here the report relies on a Greenpeace document to establish the lower-end of an estimate involving solar power plants (Aringhoff).

Read more at her blog here.

Comment: This is going to make some scientists' blood boil! What this means is that good science that did not support the agenda enough was ignored by the IPCC in favour of a totally unscientific political organisation with a panache for headline grabbing news. Whoa!

IPCC Gate Du Jour: UN climate change panel based claims on student dissertation and magazine article
Watts Up With That, 30th January 2010
"But some researchers have expressed exasperation at the IPCC’s use of unsubstantiated claims and sources outside of the scientific literature." I imagine many more are in complete shock, this is a complete meltdown of the global warming hoax...

Video: Obama Laughed at When Referring to The Overwhelming Scientific Evidence on Climate Change
YouTube [0:13] I think people were laughing because the US is experiencing extreme weather with floods, ice storms and heavy snowfalls, but maybe the audience were those who are more informed and are aware of Climategate and the ongoing falllout. Whatever, the fact that even Biden and Pelosi were laughing too, really makes you think...

A New Kind Of Lightning Discovered
Physorg.com, 28th January 2010

When volcano seismologist Stephen McNutt at the University of Alaska Fairbanks's Geophysical Institute saw strange spikes in the seismic data from the Mount Spurr eruption in 1992, he had no idea that his research was about to take an electrifying turn. [...]

When the Mount Redoubt volcano started making seismic noise in January 2009, McNutt alerted Thomas and Behnke that this would be a great opportunity to capture some new volcanic lightning data. [...] As the data started coming in from the eruption, the team found something unexpected.

"We saw lots of lightning -- 20 to 30 minutes of lighting," said Thomas. "We saw even more lightning than we would typically see during a major thunderstorm." Not only was the amount of lightning unusual, but so was the kind of lightning coming from the volcano. "At the moment the eruption started, there were these sparks of lightning coming from the vent of Redoubt that only lasted 1 to 2 milliseconds," said McNutt, " This was a different kind of lighting that we have never seen before."

The residents and scientists who witnessed Mount Redoubt’s explosive eruptions described the events as a breathtaking display.

Comment: Unfortunately, this article is too short and there does not seem to be much information that outlines the significance of the new type of lightning. Another report refers to, The second kind of lightning, which the authors called "a newly identified explosive phase". However, what is interesting is how water is produced inside volcanoes and the concept of dirty thunderstorms. Since we know from cloud experiments that clouds cannot form without an electric field, the true electrical nature of volcanoes is being discovered.

Is DNA a Fossil of the Origin of Life? Two Leading Scientists Say "Yes"
Daily Galaxy, 28th January 2010

What if a process Darwin never wrote about, and never even dreamed of, has been controlling the evolution of life throughout most of the Earth's history and altered the evolutionary process itself? What if it turns out that there is a "time machine" that biologists can use to look back towards the origin of life?

Microbiologist Carl Woese and physicist Nigel Goldenfeld both at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, argue that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection applies only to a recent phase of life on Earth; that a process of horizontal evolution led to the rise of the genetic code.

Comment: The Nobel Laureaute Francis Crick, deduced the double-helix structure of DNA abouty 55 years ago and along with James Watson is credited for discovering DNA, (of course they took the credit for someone else's hard work that produced the hard evidence, but that is another scandal), but this is only true if you ignore the Shamanic tradition that has known about DNA for thousands of years. It has been proven that Shamanic indigenous plant and biological knowledge is so specific, that is has produced brilliant remedies, so much so, that they have been copied and synthesised by pharmacologists. At the same time, indigenous drawings of DNA phases and chromosomes are so accurate, that only the most prejudiced and uninformed would even attempt to deny that highly trained shamans have ways of interacting with other forms of conscious life on this planet. For good reading on this subject matter, I recommend the book, The cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge by Anthropologist Jeremy Narby. Anyway, it turns that Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize-winning father of modern genetics and establishment star, did not believe Darwinism and created his own heretical ideas based on Panspermia, ie that life was delivered to Earth, just like the beliefs of ALL indigenous groups. Interestingly, good metaphysical sources are also adamant that consciousness was and is still being delivered to our planet. Cricke believed that DNA arrived from space in his own theory of "Directed Panspermia" and he shared those beliefs in an article that was published in Icarus (1973) and a book called Life itself: It's origin and nature [1981]. Here is a quote from an article, August 2004, from spacedaily.com:

Crick was not content to sit back on his laurels after winning one of the top prizes in science, however. He continued to study the mysteries of life, such as the nature of consciousness, or the possibility that RNA preceded the development of DNA.

In 1973, he and the chemist Leslie Orgel published a paper in the journal Icarus suggesting that life may have arrived on Earth through a process called 'Directed Panspermia.'

The Panspermia hypothesis suggests that the seeds of life are common in the universe and can be spread between worlds. This idea originated with the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, and was later promoted by the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius and the British astronomer Fred Hoyle.

Versions of this hypothesis have survived to the present day, with the discovery of proposed 'fossil structures' in the martian meteorite ALH84001. source

Since we are experiencing extreme space weather and Earth is being asailed by asteroids, meteorites and small space rocks as well as other more exotic plasma entities that scientists are struggling to understand, maybe we can appreciate those who have held the truth and have refused to be brow beaten by others with a narrower focus.

A very bright orange ball, like a plane on fire - Pitsea Basildon Essex [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 28th January 2010

Location of Sighting: Pitsea basildon essex
Date of Sighting: 24 january 2010, Time: 18:00 – 19:00
Witness Name: Wayne Gentle

Witness Statement: Aint got a clue what I saw but driving back from kfc area in pitsea with my bro in law saw a very bright orange ball travelling directly over head my best way to describe it was a plane on fire, I am a keen aviation enthusiast and would easily tell if this was a plane or helicopter. We quickly pulled over to get out, outside chaveldon school where a few passers by were also very shocked at what we were seeing, it was travelling east towards south end way, if anyone else has a explanation for what we see please mail back as I am freaked out.

Comment: Well, I think I might have seen my first bright orange ball of light where I live just outside of Olten, Switzerland. I was truly perplexed because it was so low down and my view was blocked as it went behind some nearby shops/appartments. I suppose I should have tried to investigate, but I don't normally go trespassing on private property. I did not have my glasses on, but the colour was very bright orange, it was night-time and it was flashing on and off, and the pulsation created a fiery glow around the orb. It was too low down to be plane or helicoper, travelling at gliding speed but it made no noise. People do fly model aeroplanes in this vicinity, but I can't imagine why anyone would fly so close to properties at night. What's more, I doubt whether the conscientious Swiss would fly Chinese lanterns to land near people's homes either, and Chinese lanterns DO NOT pulsate! I am now going to start wearing my glasses more... It was quite exciting really, but nothing like when there was a turquoise/blue orb in my home, which was quite a different matter... The image icon used here is close potrayal of the orange orb I saw, but it was more orange in the middle with the glow around it. OK, I have logged hundreds and hundreds of reports, but I have to agree with people who say that you have to see an orange ball of light, especially when it is so low down, to realise this cannot be mistaken for a Chinese lantern. This is all so exciting!

Earth needs sunblock and fast, scientist says
Shooting sulphur into atmosphere could slow climate change, he says
The Star, 28th January 2010

As greenhouse gases accumulate, the Earth could soon need a planetary sunblock to keep from frying. But just what that block will consist of and who will slather it on are questions that need to be urgently answered, a Canadian researcher argued Wednesday in the world's premier science journal.

"Solar-radiation management may be the only human response that can fend off rapid and high-consequence climate change impacts," University of Calgary physicist David Keith writes in Nature. "But because there's particularly been a taboo about talking about this, there's been very little serious work done," Keith said in an interview with the Star.

Comment: Oh, the desperation! Taboo? A Google search on 28th Jan 2010 gave 253,000 hits see Google sunshield + geoengineering Well, if you are a regular to this blog and have checked out the stories and the links it is absolutely obvious that the sun is not directly causing us much grief at the moment. However, the lack of solar activity is allowing in more cosmic and galactic energies and Earth's magnetopshere is taking a real beating. (I even saw one image where it looked like a chunk of our magnetic shielding had just been ripped away, by a galactic blast...) All of a sudden, extremely old prophecies of three days of darkness caused by a cosmic cloud no longer seem so unrealistic. Hopefully, not long now...

Scientists in stolen e-mail scandal hid climate data
Times Online, 28th January 2010

The university at the centre of the climate change row over stolen e-mails broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny.

The University of East Anglia breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with requests for data concerning claims by its scientists that man-made emissions were causing global warming.

The Information Commissioner’s Office decided that UEA failed in its duties under the Act but said that it could not prosecute those involved because the complaint was made too late, The Times has learnt. The ICO is now seeking to change the law to allow prosecutions if a complaint is made more than six months after a breach.

Comment: This is a bold headline for the most reputable mainstream newspaper in the UK. Over at WUWT, most people have been very pessimistic about the loop-hole of “too much time has passed since the laws were broken”, but what kind of law is that? See, CRU inquiry prompts sought after changes in UK law, citing failure of CRU’s FOIA officer Well at the end of the day, as I have stated before, Climategate has sullied the whole scientific community and the offenders will be dealt with internally. People are already starting to jump ship from the IPCC and as politicians rely on scientists to support their taxation aspirations, they had better watch out. The IPCC frauds have proven that most scientists were not corrupt enough and this must be considerd as some consolation within the wider scientific community. More:

Why Pachauri MUST stay as chairman of the IPCC More satire from James Delingpole and some classic quotes here, as the climate 'realist' fraternity, rejoice at the collapse of the biggest hoax in scientific history. "We are witnessing the Berlin Wall moment in the global warming regime."

Climategate Professor Phil Jones could face ten years on fraud charges
Climategate.com, 28th January 2010
"From a full examination of excerpts from leaked CRU emails cited below, it is readily demonstrable that the police and Crown Prosecution Service currently possess sufficient evidence to charge Phil Jones under both sections 2 & 3 of the Fraud Act (2006)." Others have commented that the CRU email fallout will make news for years and I agree!

Daline Etienne, 16, survives earthquake for 15 days by drinking Coca-Cola
Times Online, 28th January 2010

Hundreds of Haitians cheered, wept and gave thanks to God last night as a 16-year-old girl was pulled from beneath the rubble of her house, 15 days after the Haiti earthquke.

The girl, Daline Etienne, was barely alive with very low blood pressure, but medics with the French rescue team that saved her were confident that she would pull through. Her rescuers thought she had survived on Coca-Cola.

“It’s a joy, it’s a miracle. Everyone is rejoicing,” said Berpony Daudier, one of the huge crowd that gathered to watch the drama in the San Gérard district of Port-au-Prince.

Comment: Another miracle, there have been others in the last few days. A good advert for Coca-Cola too...

Polar Stratospheric Cloud Alert
Optics Picture of the Day, 26th January 2010

On the evening of Tuesday 26th January, southern and eastern England plus The Netherlands experienced spectacular colourful sunsets and prolonged twilights. Very likely they were visible over an even wider area. From my home in Norfolk, England a sunset with an extended and unusually yellow sky was followed by an intense red band in the southwest. Saturated red hues deepened slowly through an unearthly dark blood colour to yet darker crimsons as the uncommonly long twilight progressed. The top image shows a similar sunset witnessed at Deventer in The Netherlands by atmospheric optics expert Peter Paul Hattinga Verschure. He comments “The sun glowed up in bright orange and red colours, shining through a thin layer of high cloud….”

Comment: The prolonged twilights suggest that light has been scattering off dust, but where is the dust coming from? Well, unless there have been some volcanic eruptions that have not been publicised, maybe this is dust coming from space. More photos:

Alien Invasion across Europe
The Sun, 27th January 2010

THE skies are brimming with UFOs if Google is to be believed. The website's street view system appears to have captured alien invasions over at least two European cities.

Comment: I have deliberately NOT placed many examples of the really weird UAP reports, but quite frankly it seems the MSM are more intrepid than me and so for the record here are two strange Google UAP reports circulating in the blogosphere.

'UFO cloud' mystery after worldwide sightings
Bilde.com News, 27th January 2010

Spectacular and alarming pictures of ‘UFO clouds’ have emerged worldwide showing eerie illuminated discs in the sky which look like alien spaceships.

Are they from outer space or is there a natural phenomenon behind the sightings?

Most of the pictures are from Indonesia but there have been similar sighting in Moscow, Romania, Florida and elsewhere in 2009. Since then, theories have come thick and fast. Possibilities include aliens, secret military experiments or natural consequences of climate change.

Comment: The latest mystery thundercloud in Indonesia seems to have got even the mainstream media thinking. So despite the incorrect terminology and the mention of "UFO clouds from space", it seems that people are getting the right idea.... things are escalating fast.

Horrifying examples of deliberate tampering
Jo Nova Blog, 27th January 2010

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse for the cult of the carbon scare.

Now we need to ask if the world has even warmed? I’ve always said, “global warming is real”, but the recent exposés of shocking corruption in science have made me start to wonder whether even that is true.

Today a study by Joe D’Aleo and Anthony Watts, was announced by the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI). From their media release:

An extensive survey of the literature and data regarding ground and sea surface temperature records uncovers deception through data manipulation, reports the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI).

Comment: Jo Nova provides a brief summary of this 100 page report, the announcement at WUWT can be found here New Compendium Paper on Surface Temperature Records. For those who are new to 'News of the Imbalance', please note that I have consistently reported the opposition to the notion of Global Warming from credible scientists who had access to the same data and methodology that others were using to make wild and inaccurate claims. We now now that all the effort was to scare the general public into paying carbon taxes and imposing a new political world system, where Al Gore would be “president of the planet”. The latest revelations seem to imply that scientists were not dishonest enough, so that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] were forced to use non-scientific sources to manufacture their agenda. In a way, this is an antidote for the negativity surrounding Climategate and the misuse of the scientific method. Whatever, the real issue is WHY all the lies? The evidence shows that our planet is under s serious bombardment of cosmic and galactic energies, extreme Space Weather. There are plenty of websites reporting about weather extremes and Earth changes but my effort is to highlight the concept of Space Weather driving evolutionary change and hence the discussion of DNA and mutations etc. However, as I try to keep the focus on Space Weather, the level of deceit that is now being uncovered in the world of climate science, shows that there has been a serious world wide conspiracy to keep people in the dark about what's really happening. By the way, I am in complete admiration for climate 'realists' and bloggers who have supported each other to help change the world for the better.

The Four ‘Gates’ of the IPCC
JoNova Blog, 27th January 2010

[...] All Gates lead to humiliation and embarrassment for the followers of the great cult of the carbonistas.

And we haven’t yet got even close to the scandal of the faulty assumptions that led to the faulty models and alarmist predictions in the first place, or the even bigger scandal of how the observational evidence that proves the assumptions false is and was ignored by the [IPCC].

Comment: It's interesting that Jo Nova is now calling this a "cult of the carbonistas". So we are now moving away from a religion, a belief system with associated practices to something that is more comparable to using distinct techniques to promote adherence to a particular set of beliefs, practices and behaviours, whilst discouraging rational thought. Hmmm... More below:

UFO sighting puzzles N.L. residents [Newfoundland, Canada]
CBC News, 26th January 2010

Copy: Residents in Harbour Mille, a tiny community on Newfoundland's south coast, want to know what they saw in the sky Monday night.

Darlene Stewart said she was outside taking pictures of the sunset when she saw something fly overhead. She snapped a picture of the object in an attempt to zoom in on it to see what it was.

"Even with the camera, I couldn't make it out until I put it on the computer," she told CBC News. "I knew then it wasn't an airplane. It was something different." Stewart's picture shows a blurry image of what appears to be some kind of missile-like object emitting either flames or heavy smoke.

Elly Pardy also saw the object, as did other residents, and reported what she saw to the RCMP and federal fisheries officers. "It appeared to come out of the ocean," she told CBC News. "It was like it was in the middle of the bay."

An RCMP officer was in the community Tuesday to investigate the reports. Pardy said she'd like to know what the object was. "It's kind of scary because you don't know if something is being set off out in the bay, [or] if someone is doing experiments," she said. The residents plan to be outdoors again Tuesday evening to see if there is a similar sight in the sky.

Comment: This is my first report of a UAP or 'Ghost rocket' as termed by the military, that is going up into the sky and as you can see, it is fairly similar to the strange meteor-like fiery objects often seen entering our atmosphere. This example is even better because it was seen coming out of water, and despite many historical reports, eye witness accounts related to water are rare. Another report:

Mystery N.L. object has tongues wagging
So there were actually three objects, making it more unlikely that they were rockets. If we go by history, these objects seem to have intense periods of activity, so I will suspect that there will be more sightings.

No evidence UFO was rocket: PMO
CBC News, 28th January 2010
"The Prime Minister Office says there is no evidence of anyone firing a rocket near Newfoundland's southern coast, despite reports of a flaming unidentified object shooting through the sky in Harbour Mille on Monday."
Told you! I know that they know this is a UAP because they say, "There's no threat to the security of Canada," So how do they know that? So, when it becomes obvious that the citizens of Earth are living in a cosmic acquarium, then we will get disclosure about another lifeform on Earth, but it will not please ufologists who want ETs and little green men to come and run our affairs.

Crew on Ethiopian flight ET409 'ignored warning and flew into storm'
Times Online, 26th January 2010

The crew of an Ethiopian airliner that crashed off Lebanon yesterday apparently flew into violent storms after failing to follow controllers' instructions to avoid them, it emerged today.

"A traffic control recording shows that the tower told the pilot to turn to avoid the storm, but the plane went in the opposite direction," Elias Murr, the Lebanese Defence Minister, said. "We do not know what happened or whether it was beyond the pilot's control."

All 90 on board the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 died when the aircraft hit the Mediterranean shortly after taking off from Beirut airport at 2am. Initial reports talked of a possible mid-air explosion and a possible engine fire before the aircraft took off, but the nearby thunderstorms were seen as a more likely explanation.

Comment: Also another Times article Storms or sabotage? The mystery of Flight 409 There is no indication which article was written first. Well, we now know that violent storms are generating gamma rays which are really extreme x-rays. Scientists are worried because of the effect on human health but there is the issue of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to consider too. The other possibility is the plane took a fatal strike from a bolide (any object from space) as it is now a fact that Earth is a under a cosmic bombardment. We know accident investigators will only consider Space Weather when they have ruled out everything else and that can take a year, but here the suggestion that pilots refused to listen to air traffic contol is not believable. Just incase you don't believe that strange electrical phenomena is taking place in our atmosphere, how about this?

Fifty years ago, a young astronomer named Frank Drake pointed a radio telescope at nearby stars in the hope of picking up a signal from an alien civilization. Thus began one of the boldest scientific projects in history: the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). But after a half-century of scanning the skies, astronomers have little to report but an eerie silence, eerie because many scientists are convinced that the universe is teeming with life. The problem could be that we've been looking in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in the wrong way. [...]

Comment: Maybe, just maybe, the powers that be realise, that they can't beat the universe. Magnetars, on the other side of the galaxy, 400 quadrillion miles away are blasting us into a new World Age by changing the fabric of spacetime. All attempts at preventing a dimensional shift have failed, but what will pompous Brits say? You can watch this live!

Joyfire Lecture Review
Well, I listened to the lecture and it seemed to be PR to promote Professor Paul Davies's next book which of course, was the same title as the lecture and is out in April. The best comment was by astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, who chaired the meeting and who stated in the closing comments, "Maybe a female should look!" Even I was stunned by this rather acerbic comment. She also said thanks for the talk that she also described as "unstretching". Again, she might as well have said, 'That was a complete waste of time'. Honestly, I was totally amazed!!
I was excited for about 15 seconds when he talked about the development of radar until Prof. Davies started talking about radio astronomy. I was excited when he talked about the search for a "shadow biosphere on Earth", but of course he said nothing of any interest. What the hell is the UAP phenomena if not a shadow biosphere on Earth? Davies talked about thinking outside the box but then his arguments were consistently, closing down each and every avenue. Yet, we are told that looking for civilisations outside of Earth was being ramped up! He did talk about alien space probes, checking out the internet and that a SETI researcher had created a website with info, supposedly because the aliens would not know how to surf the internet. Or even, they are trying to stop them reading Wikipedia, because it would reflect badly on mankind that we were very wrong in some areas... He also made a joke (I think it was meant to be a joke) about ETs sending a message to everyone on the internet which I did not find funny at all, for obvious reasons.
I was amazed to find that there is not one credible theory of how life started. NOT ONE! He mentioned two scientists with opposing views, Jacques Monod with a rather depressing quote about man being "alone in the unfeeling immensity". The positive view was from Christian De Duve who wrote: Vital Dust: The Origin And Evolution Of Life On Earth, with the quote: "Life is a Cosmic Imperative!" (I have ordered the book, because the discussion of cosmic dust is topical as we know a crystalline dusty plasma is now invading our solar system.) The discussion of signalling just sounds like creating scientific research with no intent whatsoever to find anything. Hence, Dame Bell-Burnell's rather sharp comments.
It was interesting to know that NOBODY had studied what they call "weird life" on Earth. Well, of course, that's because they don't want to find anything weird.... it's so obvious. The really strange comment was aliens trying to communicate by infecting us with nanoprobes (viruses). Of course, in Prof, Davies's waffle, there was no mention of how this infection would appear. Whatever, this is an idea I find just too sinister. Of course, to sex up his talk, he mentioned Avatar and said it was too anthropomorphic and very unlikely, using his own peculiar strange logic, but then he got quite enthusiastic about artifical intelligence. Hence, there was a short discussion of Quintessence and he gave a few outrageous ideas about suitcase sized intelligences that would not bother investigating the galaxy but they would sit quietly in space contemplating their navels and not bothering with contacting other life in the universe, (not quite, but he might as well as said meditating into nirvana). What he said was that a quantum computer intelligence would like the cold and leave no electromagnetic fooprint, of course no real discussion of why, but I suppose he based his ideas on computers in our world, so again, not thinking outside of the box.
In wrapping up this talk, Davies cheapens the whole effort by saying, it's fun to look! But at least he used a final Frank Drake quote that at least remedied the faux pas. Drake was in the audience but I doubt he was impressed. There was only one question from the audience that might have raised Prof. Davies's pulse rate up and that was someone obviously frustrated with the lack of progress and so we got the lament: Why oh why do scientists not think differently? Yes exactly! The member of the audience said there are some who are afraid to mention the concepts of UFOs and asked directly, (paraphrased): 'Why don't the scientists and the military interact?' I was hoping he might mention UAPs but he fell short after mentioning the constant reports of UFOs... Prof. Davies's reply was of course evasive. In answer to the question he said that ET stories were too anthropomorphic and could be dismissed. No mention of weird life on Earth that if you do some basic research has been detected over and over again. Has the man never read Charles Fort? Never mind the scientific reports that have been done by scientists that are also involved with SETV! The following comment stood out. In his closing remarks Prof. Davies said:

"If we are wrong, we will soon find out!"

My reaction: Wait a minute, what the hell does that mean?

P.S. Jocelyn Bell-Burnell was robbed of a Nobel Prize, no wonder she is bitter! Apparently, as a postgraduate student, she discovered the first radio pulsars with her thesis supervisor Antony Hewish, but even though her name was second on the discovery paper (Hewish first), she was passed over. Apparently, this was a massive scandal and Dr. Iosif Shklovsky, recipient of the 1972 Bruce Medal, sought Bell out at the 1970 International Astronomical Union's General Assembly, to tell her, "Miss Bell, you have made the greatest astronomical discovery of the twentieth century." see Wikipedia... She has received many other honours since and is now a British Dame. So, if you are a woman in science and/or have an interest in what it's been like historically for woman in science, you must watch this short video, [5:25] where Jocelyn Bell-Burnell is interviewed as the new president of the UK & Ireland Insitute of Physics. I was literally 'stunned' at one point. She said in a recent 2009 interview, "women are treated better but it's still not parity" [with men in the scientific world]....

Britains Royal Society Meets to Discuss The Possibility of Extraterrestrial Life
After Vatican Now Britains Royal Society Meets to Discuss The Possibility of Extraterrestrial Life
UFO-Blogger, 25th January 2010

Copy: Four hundred years after it locked up Galileo for challenging the view that the Earth was the center of the universe last year the Vatican has called in experts to study the possibility of extraterrestrial alien life and its implication for the Catholic Church.

And now latest in the row Britains most well respected institution, the Royal Society (UK national academy of science) meets this week to discuss the possibility of extraterrestrial life on earth. The Royal society is historically a key venue for scientific debate and gradual acceptance of controversial ideas into the scientific community.

The meeting at the Royal Society, which will include representatives from Nasa, the European Space Agency and the UN Office for Outer space Affairs marks the 5th anniversary of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) programme. Lord Rees, President of the Royal Society will also lead one of the sessions.

Comment: Well, well, well, there is a lot going on and this meeting may not JUST be about the orbs and UAPs whizzing over heads in broad daylight.... Very, very, interesting and could be about the start of a PR offensive to start warning people that something is going on... All very exciting... Royal Society Science News, 25th January 2010: Is there anybody out there? Here are some of the headlines in the last 48 hours in the mainstream media, with my comments in red:

The search for aliens should start on Earth not outer space, says scientist
The Telegraph, 25th January 2010

The search for alien life forms should be conducted here on Earth rather than in outer space, scientists have claimed.

Professor Paul Davies, a physicist at Arizona University will tell a meeting at the Royal Society that the best way of proving that extra-terrestrial life exists elsewhere in the universe is to use evidence from earth.

The meeting at the Royal Society, which will include representatives from Nasa, the European Space Agency and the UN Office for Outer space Affairs marks the 5th anniversary of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) programme. Lord Rees, President of the Royal Society will also lead one of the sessions. [...]

The conference will also discuss how humans might respond to the discovery of extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Albert Harrison, the from University of California, said: "It is easy to imagine scenarios resulting in widespread psychological disintegration and social chaos. but historical prototypes, reactions to false alarms and survey results suggest that the predominant response to the discover of a microwave transmission from light years away is likely to be equanimity, perhaps even delight."

Comment: Sometimes you really have to wonder.... there are orbs flying around cities and urban areas, and thousands of people are seeing them around the world and especially in the UK. Scientists have been studying plasma entities for decades, and the military have massive databases and secret and declassified reports, but these scientists are still pretending they don't have a clue.... One day, something will whizz over their heads, but I wonder if they will notice...

Update
Actually, there have been quite a few articles about aliens and extraterrestrials in the media, maybe an attempt to keep the 'aliens are all like us' meme going... I have started to think about this a bit more, see above...

After Climategate, Pachaurigate and Glaciergate: Amazongate
Teelgraph Delingpole Blog, 25th January 2010

AGW theory is toast. So’s Dr Rajendra Pachauri. So’s the Stern Review. So’s the credibility of the IPCC. But if you think I’m cheered by this you’re very much mistaken. I’m trying to write a Climategate book but the way things are going by the time I’m finished there won’t be anything left to say: the battle will already have been won and the only people left who still believe in Man Made Global Warming will be the eco-loon equivalents of those wartime Japanese soldiers left abandoned and forgotten on remote Pacific atolls.

Here’s the latest development, courtesy of Dr Richard North – and it’s a cracker. It seems that, not content with having lied to us about shrinking glaciers, increasing hurricanes, and rising sea levels, the IPCC’s latest assessment report also told us a complete load of porkies about the danger posed by climate change to the Amazon rainforest.

Comment: Apparently, Climategate has spawned another monster, Amazongate... So, climate science has become a can of worms, there is not a shred of credibility left and the IPCC needs to be disbanded. Pachauri's resignation is not enough despite all the calls. He basically supervised a massive lie that the glaciers of the Himalayas could disappear by 2035. The Himalayas-Hindu Kush, is a region on which nearly 40% of the world's population depends for water as these glaciers feed all the major river systems of Asia. The date 2035 is fictional, plucked out of the air, but that is beside the point, there is absolute rage in India because they were lied to about something that actually matters. This concoction of lies, also makes the Nobel Prize committee look like a bunch of idiots too. See

Avatar set to steam ahead of Titanic as the biggest money-spinner yet
Times Online, 25th January 2010

James Cameron’s science fiction epic Avatar is expected to become today the most commercially successful film ever made, overtaking his Titanic. According to estimates released last night, the 3-D movie was just $2 million short of Titanic’s record global ticket sales of $1,843 million. Avatar is also widely tipped to do well at the Oscars, although Quentin Tarantino’s war-time satire Inglourious Basterds has emerged as a serious contender after winning top honours at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Comment: I am wondering: Is Avatar the perfect antidote to the horrendous 2012 film? This is a review by Michael Rivero from the very political Whatsreallyhappening.com website, he just so happened to have 30 years in visual effects and computer animation for over 30 years. This is a quote; "At two hours and twenty five minutes, the movie is longer than the usual theatrical fare, but trust me, you won't know it. The film flows so smoothly you will be at the end before you realize it, and perhaps a touch disappointed that it is over and that you have to leave Pandora to return to your own portion of planet Earth. After living with the Na'Vi, Earth is going to be a bit of a let-down." AVATAR - A REVIEW & The troubling politics of Avatar

New Zealand Upper North Island Hit By Massive Power Outage -
Morning Star, 25th January 2010

WELLINGTON -(Dow Jones)- New Zealand's upper North Island, including the city of Auckland, was hit by a massive power outage affecting thousands of homes and businesses late Monday, Radio New Zealand reported. The problem was caused by a fire in some very large trees near Hamilton and was compounded by a thunder and lightening storm, the radio reported. According to different reports, most of the country north of the city of Hamilton is without power. Radio New Zealand said national grid operator Transpower expects the situation to return to normal around 0600 GMT. Transpower officials weren't immediately available for comment.

Comment: The official story just does not sound credible to me, the Earth's magnetosphere took another blast today at about 5.30-6.30 UT, but at the moment, I can't verify a link with solar activity like a CME, but there has been 5 GRBs in the last week or so but again, this does not account for a spike in plasma density.

"The Universe Was Not Created By A Big Bang" -Say Several of the World's Leading Cosmologists
Daily Galaxy, 25th January 2010

Several of the worlds leading astrophysicists believe there was no Big Bang that brought the universe and time into existence. Before the Big Bang, the standard theory assumes, there was no space, just nothing. Einstein merged the universe into a single entity: not space, not time, but space time. Proponents of branes propose that we are trapped in a thin membrane of space-time embedded in a much larger cosmos from which neither light nor energy (except gravity) can escape or enter and that "dark matter" is just the rest of the universe that we can't see because light can't escape from or enter into our membrane from the great bulk of the universe. And our membrane may be only one of many, all of which may warp, connect, and collide with one another in as many as 10 dimensions -a new frontier physicists call the "brane world." Stephen Hawking, among others, envisions brane worlds bubbling up out of the void, giving rise to whole new universes. [...] Perhaps not surprisingly, there is no supportative data to date for Big Bang theory, although the results aren't sensitive enough to rule out the pervasive Big Bang/inflation model.

Comment: It's remarkable that the theory of Big Bang managed to attain any credibility, but it is widely understood to be an atempt at justifying the religious belief, 'In the beginning...'. Therefore, the comment "What banged?" sums up the illogical premise exactly. However, the discussion of spacetime and branes here is pure metaphysics and sounds very similar to Hindu and Taoist creation beliefs.

Bets Fly In After UFO Sightings
Casino Power, 23rd January 2010

Copy: Bookies Paddy Power have reported a meteor-storm of betting activity on the chances of alien life being found in the next three years. Bets came flying in after spectacular pictures of an unidentified object were captured travelling across the River Liffey in Dublin on New Year's Day. The odds on little green men arriving on the emerald isle or anywhere in the world before 2013 have now collapsed to just 100/1 from 500/1. Even though punters seem convinced the pictures are the real deal, Paddy Power aren't so sure and are betting 1/3 (1.33) the triangular formation of lights was actually a military aircraft. The other likely explanation could be Chinese lanterns at 8/1. A Paddy Power spokesman said: "Light's in the sky on New Years Day, sounds like fireworks to me. Clearly a lot of our punters are convinced there is something more to these pictures but if there is, I won't be hanging around to pay out bets. I'll be running straight for the hills." Very reassuring.

Comment: My suggestion is STOP TAKING BETS! Governments will be forced to admit the presence of another lifeform on this planet, GUARANTEED!

UFO Is Spotted Over Dublin
The Sun, 22nd January 2010

AMAZING footage of a UFO has been taken in Ireland - as The Sun re-launches the nation's X-Files. A triangular formation of lights was filmed flying at night at "incredible speed". [...] Any sightings in Britain will NOT be officially recorded because the MoD last month axed the department probing mystery threats. Chiefs branded the £50,000-a-year department an "inappropriate use of defence resources". It came despite the near TRIPLING of alleged UFOs between 2008 and last year's 643. The Sun will pick up the baton, and release a rundown of your sightings, like the MoD used to. Nick said: "The MoD's decision was bizarre. While I'm sure they'll investigate sightings from pilots and anything unusual on radar, the public had nowhere to go. There's massive public interest in this issue. If there's something unusual in our skies, we need to know or we could be leaving ourselves open to terrorist attack." The MoD defended its decision to shut the UFO division. A spokesman said: "We do not feel there is any military value in reviewing the public's sightings."

Comment: Besides the fact I think these are orbs flying in a tight magnetic vortex, I am much more interested that a tabloid newspaper has decided to "take up the baton" and log UFO reports. Since they seem to regularly call upon the services of Nick Pope, who is ex-MOD official, this looks quite interesting, especially as things are starting to get quite wild out there... BTW, this decision is not odd, the UK MOD are not stupid. THEY KNOW that the veil is lifting, and don't want to be forced into a position where they have to break the news to the general public... The UK MOD are not metaphysicians...
Update According to various sources, this is an old video and the Sun and other MSM did not check the facts. What's interesting is that I saw this video kicking around the blogosphere but did not highlight it until I saw MSM exposure. Well, if this keeps happening, then there will be no point believing any documentation of sightings produced by the Sun. Unless they state they have someone credible like Nick Pope doing the checking.

Top 9 reasons James Ray is innocent
The Examiner, 21st January 2010

Comment: Cassandra Yorgey is really going for the jugular after a series of articles to expose James Ray as a fraud, but quite frankly, it's not been that hard with the facts gleaned from eyewitnesses and police searches.

I have spent a lot of time now on Rick Ross's Cult Education Forum and reading the reports from people who attended his seminars and there is a long established pattern of abuse. At the moment, it looks like the Lakota Indians are still going after James Ray and they are using the Consitutional Law of The United States of America and the 1868 Treaty between the United States of America and the Lakota Nation. James Ray is being accused of inpersonating an Indian and breaking the peace between the United States and the Lakota Indians. Hmmm... I hope they get their day in court soon...

Bright Light, NOT a Chinese Lantern - Burghead, Moray [Scotland]
UK UFO Sightings, 23rd January 2010

Location of Sighting: Burghead, Moray, Date of Sighting: 22 Jan 2010
Time: @2300, Witness Name: John H

Witness Statement: As I let the dog out into our garden I noticed a bright reddy-orange light moving due east over the top of Burghead Maltings and travelling towards Lossiemouth/Elgin.

I instantly assumed that it was a Nimrod in-circuit or recently taken off from Kinloss as the light appeared very similar to aircraft anti-collision lights.As the object flew overhead the light grew sligtly brighter as you would expect. However to my knowledge anti-col lights flash at night and this was constant. There was also no sound whatsoever coming from the object – even taking the doppler effect into account (now overhead I should at least hear some noise),

At this point I ran inside to get my large powerful binoculars and managed to track the object as it moved eastwards. Several times the object went behind clouds but not completely obscurred by them. The light grew dimmer as the object moved further away and at this point the object appeared to be square/wedge shaped with no obvious wings or fin (the glow from Elgin/Lossiemouth street lighting aiding this observation).

At no point could you make out either of the navigation lights or hear any sound from the object. I continued to follow the object until obscurred by street lighting.

I have worked with aircraft for 21 years and have seen a few “oddball” designs in flight such as the US stealth programme aircraft but nothing like this. I can also discount the chinese lantern theory as the light was not flickering at any point and was far too bright.

I would estimate the object to have been roughly 737 sized, maybe slightly smaller and about 1-2000 feet up moving at about 200mph. The cloud was patchy and around this height. I don’t recall the state of the moon and I was both sober and fully awake.

Comment: A good report from a trained observer. Now what about this, see below:
Probes or signs of an alien invasion? Tom Slemen investigates
Liverpool Echo, 13th January 2010

"ON New Year’s Eve there were many reports of strange orange lights in the Liverpool night sky.

Although many people have heard of UFOs, what about OBOLs which stands for Orange Ball of Light? Statistically there is a good chance that you have seen one in the skies over Merseyside because this region is now experiencing a widespread visitation of orange balls of light, as well as other types of UFO.

The current popularity of the Chinese Lantern – a flimsy paper version of the hot air balloon, powered by a naked flame – had been blamed for many of the ubiquitous fireballs, but the lanterns cannot make right-angled turns, come to a dead halt in the sky after travelling the speed of sound and interfere with mobile phones, televisions, computers and car engines. Here are a few cases that highlight the unearthly features of the OBOLs: [...]

"Birkenhead, Christmas Eve, 2009, 2.40am: John Ravencroft, 34, was driving up Laird Street when he saw a bright glowing globe of orange light flying over a rooftop, coming from the direction of Birkenhead Park’s tennis courts. The orange radiant sphere swooped down towards John, and hovered over his vehicle, which immediately stalled. John estimated the sphere’s diameter to be about 20-25 feet. It flew off down Park Road North then darted upwards at an incredible speed. Mr Ravencroft’s car started again, but when he pulled over and tried to call his wife, he saw the screen of his mobile was blank, and the phone remained in that state for hours before functioning normally."

Comment: Hurrah! I believe this is a reporter with a pulse! This is a collection of reports but the above report is selected, because Chinese lanterns DO NOT swoop down and hover over folk. The question is: will this Liverpudlian reporter do some serious research and are others now doing the same? My first blog entry about these orange balls of light was in August 2008,

Glacier scientist: I knew data hadn't been verified
Daily Mail, 24th January 2010

The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

Dr Murari Lal also said he was well aware the statement, in the 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), did not rest on peer-reviewed scientific research.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Dr Lal, the co-ordinating lead author of the report’s chapter on Asia, said: ‘It related to several countries in this region and their water sources. We thought that if we can highlight it, it will impact policy-makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action. ‘It had importance for the region, so we thought we should put it in.’ [...] Dr Lal said: ‘We knew the WWF report with the 2035 date was “grey literature” [material not published in a peer-reviewed journal]. But it was never picked up by any of the authors in our working group, nor by any of the more than 500 external reviewers, by the governments to which it was sent, or by the final IPCC review editors.’

In fact, the 2035 melting date seems to have been plucked from thin air.

Comment: The IPCC has now lost all credibility and the Nobel Prize committee are now left in a position where they will be forced to rescind the prize, there is no other option, because this is simply fraud. More:

The Haiti Response: Is the Human Species Hardwired to be Compassionate? (A Weekend Feature)
Daily Galaxy, 23rd January 2010

The world's incredible outpouring of help to thhe people of Haiti raises the question: are we evolving to become more compassionate and collaborative in our quest to survive and thrive? A research team at the University of California, Berkeley, says "yes." They are challenging long-held beliefs that human beings are wired to be selfish. In a wide range of studies, social scientists are amassing a growing body of evidence to show we are evolving to become more compassionate and collaborative in our quest to survive and thrive.The researchers have found compelling evidence that people who are more empathetic possess a particular variation of the oxytocin receptor gene.

The findings support other research showing that oxytocin plays a major role in countering stress. Previous studies have also linked this genetic variation with autism and parenting styles, says study coauthor Sarina Rodrigues, assistant professor of psychology at Oregon State University.

Comment: I find this amazing that a website dedicated to space and the universe wants to focus on evolving humans and compassion. In the last few week and months, I have been investigating why so many so-called spiritual people seem to be emotionally shut down and I have worked out why. Spirtual evolution does not involve reading reading a few books and attending a few seminars to learn to parrot other peoples' experiences. Regardless of how it's being done and it is happening on a wide scale now, people are volunteering to allow others to shut down their emotions and become a zombie. If you allow this, you cannot empathize with another human being, you close off your ability to use your intuition and your discernment and you will not evolve. The fakes out there posing as gurus, are only there because the general levels of consciousness are too low, this is only a feedback mechanism. This article is a good reminder that there are people out of there who are full of compassion and they live their lives in service to mankind.

UFO papers to be made public [NZ]
The Press, 23rd January 2010

Hundreds of pages of secret files on New Zealand UFO sightings will be released by the military this year.

The files include reports of UFO sightings from 1979 to 1984 and references to the Kaikoura sighting of December 1978. The files are held by Archives New Zealand and were to have been made public this month, but the Defence Force is removing personal information from them to comply with the Privacy Act.

"At the moment we are working on making copies of these files, minus the personal information," a Defence Force spokeswoman said. "Once this work is completed, we are hoping to be able to release a copy of all the UFO files, including some ahead of their release time, within the year."

Lights were seen in the sky over Kaikoura in December 1978 and were filmed by an Australian news crew. Aircraft tracked the lights, which were also seen on radar.

~~UFO~~UAP mystery in skies over Burbage [UK]
Hinkley Times, 22nd January 2010

AS DEAN and Lorraine Seyman celebrated the New Year, they suddenly realised they could be having some unexpected guests.

As the couple from Burbage were enjoying the fireworks just after midnight, they spotted more than 25 UFOs filling the night sky. And as the unknown objects continued on their course, Dean and Lorraine managed to take some pictures and a video of the event above their home in Beechwood Avenue.

Dean told the Times exactly what happened on that eerie night. “We went to the patio doors as the fireworks had just started and it was a crystal clear sky, full moon, and about four stars in the sky,” he said.

“We were just standing there and then all of a sudden this bright orange orb - a fuzzy fireball almost - was coming out of nowhere. It didn’t change speed, it didn’t flash, nothing, and just continued at the same speed going in the direction of the A5. Then another one came at a different altitude and then some more and they were all staggered in a formation.

“There were two, then four, then six and then we counted 26 over the hour.

Comment: There was so much activity at New Year that the UK UFO sightings website went into meltdown. My only suggestion is that the orbs were out in force cleaning up the mess of firework celebrations. For more UK sightings:

Wow! UK parliamentary investigation into Climategate may not be a whitewash
Telegraph Blog Delingpole, 22nd January 2010

The Commons Science and Technology Committee has launched an inquiry into “the unauthorised publication of data, emails and documents relating to the work of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA)” – ie Climategate.

Comment: I agree with you James. As I keep stating, I was am in utter amazement about what is now happening, it is so clear, there has been a massive shift in consciousness. On the lighter side, the British are famous for 'small talk' and talking about the weather, so maybe they want to get their facts right.... LOL!!

A "Nobel Torsion Message" Over Norway?
Enterprisemission.com, January 2010

The spectacular aerial display appearing in the skies of northern Norway a few days ago -- still receiving incredulous reactions from around the world -- has generated a tidal wave of speculation:

"Was it a failed Russian missile?" "A UFO?"

"Or ... another clandestine test of HAARP (the High Altitude Auroral Research Project which, it turns out, has several not-so-well-known facilities scattered across northern Scandinavia -- a Project steeped in its own multi-layered technology, mysteries and speculations ...)?"

The curiously delayed Russian admission that it had, indeed, conducted another routine missile test on Wednesday morning (when the mysterious "light spiral from Heaven," as papers in Norway are now referring to it, appeared), did nothing to quell this "speculation explosion"; in fact, it only added fuel ....

As we reported in Part I, when initially queried by Norwegian media, the Russian Navy, and the Russian Embassy in Norway, denied all knowledge of the phenomenon -- as well as any rumored "missile tests" they may have been conducting in the same time frame and area.

Only a day later did an AP story finally appear -- quoting the Russian Defense Ministry's eventual, official statement that, indeed "a Bulava missile was launched Wednesday by a nuclear submarine submerged in the White Sea ... and its third stage suffered an unspecified failure ...." (below). The story underscored, however, that this "limited offical Ministry acknowledgement" did NOT directly link that missile failure with the growing "Norwegian Spiral" story.

Comment: Apparently, the Norwegians are now calling this the "light spiral from Heaven", that's nice. Here we have a good summary of technical details and again more confirmation of why the Russians would refuse to take responsibility for something that had nothing to do with them. Hoagland seems to have proven that the light spiral was moving in the sky but that does not mean it was an out of control missile. I noted that he used information from certain message boards that I visit and I note there was some cherry picking of relevant information. He might have picked up on the plasma explanation because it's highly relevant as we now have confirmation that dense plasma is entering our solar system. Apparently, someone wrote to plasma world expert, Anthony Peratt and placed the response on a GLP message thread: His response to question about whether this was a plasma phenomenon is unequivocal. First reply:

This event was natural and occurs when two Birkeland currents interact, usually around 300 -500 km above Earth. Birkeland currents most often occur in pairs because of the 1/r attractive force between them. This is not an EISCAT heating phenomena. link

EISCAT is the European version of HAARP. Second question: "And one last thing, given the rise in cosmic ray flux recently and the drop in strength of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field, can we expect more of these types of events in the future?" This was the second reply:

Today we have only very weak auroras in the upper ionosphere. In the past, as NASA's THEMIS satellites have discovered, they were a million-million times more energetic and located say, 1 million km from Earth. Petroglyphs are pictures of these, we know, from thermonuclear explosion pictures underground and very high energy experiments in canyons. Also, from supercomputer modeling. No, the cosmic flux will not change anything but dense plasma entering the solar system, as is now happening, will. link

I am assuming this is true, but the research paper by Anthony Perratt done after registering 4 million petroglyphs by GPS is certainly compelling. See, Anthony Peratt - Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current, Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity

Chopper 10 a witness to bright falling star
NBC Philadelphia, 19th January 2010

A bright, burning light streaked across our local skies at sunset Monday, and quite a few people took notice.

“There was a little flaming ball, it came down and was going straight down to earth,” said a Chopper 10 pilot who saw the beautiful display and actually got the images on camera.

“What it appears to be is a meteor,” said Dr. Joseph Sowers, adjunct professor of astronomy at Richard Stockton College in Galloway Township, after seeing the images from Chopper 10.

The piece of burning space crust was traveling at close to 25 miles per second. And though it created a bright light and inspired a big fuss, the flaming rock was only a pebble -- only a few centimeters wide.

Comment: Hmm... well we know that satellites are now getting pelted by "space rocks" (strictly speaking, satellites are now threatened with a new hazard of small "space rocks"), but this certainly does not look like the standard meteor.... I could not watch the video which apparently, is for locals only... More meteors and other suspicious objects:

Richmonders report seeing meteors [US]
Sounds normal....

Callers report possible meteor - Montana [US]
“It just lit up the sky with a blue light.”

Twilight meteor reported Monday in Maryland [US]
"Looks like you've witnessed a bolide, a possible member of The Coma Berenicid meteor shower which peaks tonight. (1/18)"
In the comments, folks are saying it was more like flare than a meteor

Meteor: Meteor over Montana caught on tape [US]
Interesting video, but sorry, this ain't no meteor! It's looks more like the video captured 2 or even 3 UAPs, that look more like a tadpole swimming across the sky than a fireball or a meteor!

Operation under way to evacuate 400,000 from Haiti’s broken capital
Times Online, 22nd January 2010

Operations were under way last night to evacuate 400,000 refugees from Haiti’s earthquake-shattered capital into tented villages in the suburbs and surrounding countryside.

Public buses were dispatched to collect survivors from around the city and shift them out of the disaster zone to organised encampments, where food distribution and sanitation services can be better co-ordinated.

It was the first decisive step towards managing Haiti’s refugee crisis in which at least half a million displaced residents have been left sleeping in makeshift street shelters erected among the debris.

The US, anxious to prevent a water-borne exodus of refugees from Haiti to Florida, has begun preparing a 1,000-bed tented camp at the Guantánamo Bay naval base on the southeastern tip of Cuba. It will be used to hold Haitians who may attempt to flee their homeland by sea, and has enough tents in store to accommodate a further 10,000, according to Rear-Admiral Thomas Copeman, of the US Navy.

Comment: Despite all the false stories going around the internet, countries like China had rescue teams on the island within 48 hours and there is an effort, however well or badly organised. People are still being rescued.... Times Picture Gallery: Haiti Rescues Also below:

Woman trapped in earthquake 'coffin' is rescued after eight days
Times Online, 21st January 2010

We saw “Natalie’s” head first. Even from 30ft away, we could see that she was smiling. She was talking to her brother on her mobile phone. The Haitian team grasped the handles of her stretcher. The French formed two lines up a sloping slab to the flat section of roof from which her rescue had been organised. As they applauded, dust rose from their gloves. As she drew near, we heard her singing.

At first it was hard to believe. Her lips were scarcely moving, but the sound was unmistakably hers. The French followed her out, their faces caked in dirt, tears welling up for some, flowing uncontrollably for others.

As they hugged each other and the Haitians, four US airmen gently transferred her to a makeshift hoist and began to lower her horizontally down the 20ft wall to solid ground.

As she went over the edge, Ms Losana filled her lungs and sang loudly enough for those below to hear over the generators. She was still singing at the bottom. I asked no one in particular what it was. “I don’t know,” said one of the exultant crowd of Haitians who helped her into the waiting ambulance. “It is a song of God.”

Mr Oustallet climbed down and stood quietly with his team. “I won’t sleep tonight,” he said. “Too much emotion. I’ll sleep when the mission is finished on the plane back to Biarritz. In 20 years as a rescuer, this has been my most beautiful day.”

Comment: This report made me cry. Also:

Mexico: Airbus A-320 Flies Near UFO
A Report from Prof. Ana Luisa Cid
Inexplicata, 21st January 2010

On Monday, January 18, 2010, a Mexicana de Aviaciaon Airbus-A320 flew close to a UFO as it went over Xochimilco, according to Alfonso Salazar (UFO researcher and aviation technician)

This occurred as the airliner made its climbing maneuvers to achieve an appropriate altitude for a straight and level flight. The time was 11:55 a.m.

The Mexican airliner flew some 200 meters form a spherical, seemingly metallic object that changed colors (from aluminum gray to brilliant red). The aircraft was heading east of Mexico City while the object headed south.

According to unofficial data, and under excellent meteorological conditions, the UFO was detected visually as it flew at an approximate altitude of 10,000 meters.

Comment: This airport in Mexico seems to be located where orbs like to hang out... Well, I am sure there are going to be people in denial for a long time until something whizzes over their head and they are forced to admit that our reality has changed. I quite like the foo-fighters, the little balls of light that play tag with aeroplanes, they are having fun, whilst pilots are have been perplexed and bemused for 80 years. Still, I refuse to believe that more people have not done enough research to work this out. Early ufologists like Trevor James Constable and Kenneth Arnold worked his out over 50 years ago. For goodness sake, even the UK MOD have worked this out and have provided the general public with a substantial analysis, see Unidentified Aerial Phenomena [UAP] Index Page . Due to a dimensionsal shift, it has become much easier to see another lifeform with a whole ecology living on this planet. Here is a quote from Trevor James Constable's book, Sky Creatures: Living UFOs published by Simon & Schuster in 1976,

Significant among those who came to accept that UFOs were critters was the man who touched off the whole powder keg — Kenneth Armold. As coiner of the phrase flying saucers he has won immortality, but by the early 1960s, he was nowwhere near as puzzled as he was on 24 June 1947, when he saw a "formation" of these saucers neart Mount Rainier. In November 1962 his views on UFOs sounded as though the had lifted bodily out of my 1958 book They live in the Sky. Writing in Ray Palmer's Flying Saucers Magazine, Mr. Arnold said:

After some 14 years of extensive research, it is my conclusion that the so-called unidentified flying objects that have been seen in our atmosphere are not space ships from another planet at all, but are groups and masses of living organisms that are as much a part of our atmosphere and space as the life we find in the oceans. The only difference in the space and atmospheric organisms is that they have the natural ability to change their densities at will. Flying Saucers Magazine, November 1962, Palmer Publications.

Hidden asteroids are stalking the Earth
New Scientist, 21st January 2010

A TINY asteroid that buzzed Earth last week highlighted our planet's vulnerability to objects whose peculiar orbits put them in a game of hide-and-seek with us.

An Earth-based telescope spotted the 10-metre space rock hurtling our way just three days before a near miss on 13 January, when it flew by at just one-third of the distance to the moon (see Object headed towards Earth an asteroid, not junk). The asteroid is never expected to hit Earth and would burn up before hitting the ground in any case. But its unusual orbit (see diagram) seems ingeniously designed to evade our surveys. It is likely that a handful of objects large enough to cause harm are hiding under similar circumstances. [...]

Despite our best efforts, the majority of hidden asteroids are too small and dim to be detected until they are practically on top of us - regardless of their orbits. "The sad part is, the bulk of the population is invisible to us most of the time," Spahr says.

Comment: Mayan Elder Carlos Barrios gave predictions for 2010 and he talked about Earth getting buzzed by an asteroid that would be only spotted within only 24 hours of it's passing, but then we got notice of an asteroid doing just that within days. Personally, it now seems certain that Fluffy, the interstellar crystalline cloud is upsetting the theoretical Oort cloud or is itself carrying a lot of debris and astronomers are now in an impossible situation being able to track these objects. So I am expecting more in 2010. As I have already pointed out, this is why the US military are now hiding satellite fireball data and astronomers are getting angry and threatening to move to other countries.... What's more, this has all come after NASA tried to keep reports about Near Earth Objects (NEOS) out of the public domain, so it's no wonder that some people with higher brain processing ability, are realising that our planet is under some kind of cosmic bombardment. The whole thing must have those who easily panic in a complete spin!

UFO Photographed Over Xinjiang, China; Military Claims Missile Test; Fleet and Pyramid UFO Similar to Kremlin UFO Filmed in China
People Magazine Daily, 21st January 2010

A bright flying UFO with a cone tail was photographed over Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on Jan. 11 around 8 pm.

The object was flashing blue, red, white and green lights according to CCTV.com and Iyaxin.com. MSNBC’s James Oberg reported that a Chinese missile was fired to intercept another missile in flight last week, which sparked people in the Xinjiang and Gansu provinces to report the UFO sighting. The people of the rural area were not well-equipped with cameras and the few pictures that have surfaced are blurrier than the ones from the December Norway spirals.xinjiang china ufo january 2010. “China conducted a test on ground-based midcourse missile interception within its territory on Monday,” Xinhua news agency reported this one sentence statement last Monday. An hour later, two sentences were added: “The test has achieved the expected objective. The test is defensive in nature and is not targeted at any country.”

Comment: It looks like the Chinese were trying to explain away another mystery spiral, similar to the now famous Norwegian event in December 2009 that grabbed the world's attention. I love these spirals and I love the blue colour, very magical... It's now 2010, remember massive increases in evolutionary energies predicted by Barbara Marciniak as 100,000 x 100,000 x 100,000 2010, 2011 & 2012, and as we have proof that our planet is being blasted BIG TIME from galactic sources, we have no reason not to believe this particular prediction. Therefore, it looks like this particular plasma pheneomena will become commonplace. How exciting! If you want to read a good research paper that highlights plasma phenomena in our atmosphere see, Anthony Peratt - Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current, Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity
Update I have come across the an online article written in Chinese that can be translated with Google: China missile test? Xinjiang, the sky is the mysterious Aperture more likely the Department of space debris (Figure) The translation is terrible, but some detail is translated well. Here a witness tells us that a blue orb actually crashed into a UFO and generated the spiral and perhaps this gives a clue about what happened with the Norwegian spiral. Anthony Peratt says the Norwegian spiral was an example of two interacting currents of plasma creating a z-pinch. The raw translation of these latest events in China, would suggest that there was a tremendous amount of activity with lots of coloured lights (orbs) and a spiral event that was a result of a 'crash' that I would suggest was really the interaction of two plasmas with different polarities. This is certainly looking very very interesting and far more scientifically acceptable for an explanation.

Lorne Gunter: First Climategate, now Glaciergate
National Post, 20th January 2010

Hot on the heels of Climategate — the leaking of thousands of emails and computer files that show many of the world’s leading climate scientists fudging the results of their global warming research and contriving to keep skeptics from being published in academic journals — comes what could be called Glaciergate.

Prominent among the claims of impending environmental disaster in the UN’s fourth report on climate change, published in 2007, was the prediction that all of the 15,000 glaciers in the Himalayas could melt away by 2035. That’s just 25 years away. Now the Times of London has discovered that this claim was not based on scientific enquiry, but rather on speculation. And old speculation at that. [...]

This is the report that helped secure the IPCC its Nobel Prize.

Comment: Er... I was not going to give this a separate listing until I read the bit about this research got Gore & the IPCC the Nobel prize. No wonder the gloves are coming off.... Expect some serious trouble! See other entries below:

The Door to Hell - Burning Gas Crater in Darvaza, Turkmenistan
Vacation Ideas, January 2010

There are several places around the world that locals believe are a door to hell. Endless catacombs beneath the city of Paris, France for example or Dimmuborgir lava formations in Iceland. When it comes to sheer jaw-dropping effect, however, The Door to Hell by Darvaza in Turkmenistan takes the cake. I would also classify Darvaza as one of the places that should be on the must-visit list of every serious explorer who likes to visit Earth’s most breath-taking sites. Darvaza is a gas crater the burning gates of which have been flaming for upwards of 37 years.

Pictures of the year 2009: weird animal pictures

Fresh quake shakes Haiti from sleep after triple miracle
The Times Online, 20th January 2010

The people of Haiti were shaken from their sleep today by another strong earthquake that sent hundreds fleeing in panic into the streets of Port-au-Prince.

With virtually the entire city still camped out in the open after last week's devastating quake - largely for fear of aftershocks - the latest tremor was not expected to have caused much damage in the Haitian capital.

But a Times reporter expressed the fear that it could have disturbed the collapsed buildings from which, eight days into Haiti's nightmare, miraculous rescues are still happening on a regular basis.

Comment: OK, I have not yet come across any particular insightful information about the cause of the Haiti earthquake. At the moment, I find it hard to believe that it was "man-made", but I could be wrong. The planet's magnetosphere has been taking constant hits from cosmic sources and it seems that these days, it does not seem to matter what day you download as a movie to watch, there is always some action, see latest images Real time Magnetosphere Simulation. The Earth's magnetic fields lines are constantly contorting. However, today the 20th we have extended periods of high pressure where the plasma density and velocity is high after about 11.00.00 UT. What's more, the Earth was affected by a strong M-2 solar flare on the 19th but there was no warnings of an associated Coronal Mass Ejection [CME]. Apparently, the solar flare was not visible from Earth but it resulted in Earth's upper atmosphere being bathed in X-rays and caused a wave of ionization to sweep over Europe, see

spaceweather.com. Well, there is do doubt about it, Earth is getting hammered from solar, cosmic and galactic sources. We are experiencing extreme Space Weather, yet scientists have claimed for decades that earthquakes can be triggered by celestial forces and that was even before the current onset of serious and extreme Space Weather.

Brookhaven National Laboratory: Why Hasn’t Earth Warmed as Much as Expected?
WUWT, 19th January 2010

Planet Earth has warmed much less than expected during the industrial era based on current best estimates of Earth’s “climate sensitivity”—the amount of global temperature increase expected in response to a given rise in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2). [...]

According to current best estimates of climate sensitivity, the amount of CO2 and other heat-trapping gases added to Earth’s atmosphere since humanity began burning fossil fuels on a significant scale during the industrial period would be expected to result in a mean global temperature rise of 3.8°F—well more than the 1.4°F increase that has been observed for this time span. Schwartz’s analysis attributes the reasons for this discrepancy to a possible mix of two major factors: 1) Earth’s climate may be less sensitive to rising greenhouse gases than currently assumed and/or 2) reflection of sunlight by haze particles in the atmosphere may be offsetting some of the expected warming.

“Because of present uncertainties in climate sensitivity and the enhanced reflectivity of haze particles,” said Schwartz, “it is impossible to accurately assign weights to the relative contributions of these two factors. This has major implications for understanding of Earth’s climate and how the world will meet its future energy needs.”

A third possible reason for the lower-than-expected increase of Earth’s temperature over the industrial period is [3)] the slow response of temperature to the warming influence of heat-trapping gases.

Comment: The graphic showing the models produced by the IPCC with 90% confidence is classic... I agree with these posters,

Jimmy Haigh (15:42:58) :
“Why Hasn’t Earth Warmed as Much as Expected?”
Simple. Because the models are wrong.
hunter (16:08:59) : In the world of real science, scientists would by now be rethinking their theories. But AGw is no longer real science. Was it ever?

In Ecuador, Trees Now Have Rights
Earth Island Institute, January 2010

On September 29, the Associated Press reported that Ecuador’s new constitution would “significantly expand leftist President Rafael Correa’s powers.” It wasn’t until the end of a 15-paragraph article that the AP mentioned the new constitution – approved by 65 percent of voters – “guarantees free education through university and social security benefits for stay-at-home mothers.” Also missing from the AP’s report: any mention that Ecuador’s voters had just ratified the world’s first “eco-constitution,” a pioneering document that, for the first time in human history, extends “inalienable rights to nature.”

Not too long ago, Ecuador would have seemed an unlikely nation to become the birthplace of Earth’s first green constitution. To service its massive debt to US creditors, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund forced Ecuador to open its pristine Amazon forests to foreign oil companies. Nearly 30 years of drilling enriched ChevronTexaco, desecrated the northern Amazon, and utterly failed to improve the lives of millions of poor Ecuadoreans. Amazon Watch estimates that Texaco damaged 2.5 million acres of rainforest, left the landscape pitted with 600 toxic waste pits, and polluted the rivers and streams that some 30,000 people rely on. Cancer rates in the area where Texaco operated are 130 percent of the national norm, and childhood leukemia occurs at a rate four times higher than in other parts of Ecuador.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It’s… vapour [NZ]
3news.co.nz, 18th January 2010

Many Aucklanders thought aliens were about to land on Saturday night, while others feared a comet was going to collide with the Earth.

A fiery orange object was seen over the city, and the Auckland Observatory was besieged by calls from residents wanting to know what it was.

It turned out the object was not a threat to life as we know it, but the vapour trail of a plane, lit up by the sun which was just below the horizon. The observatory says the lights are quite common at this time of year.

Comment: The explanation given here for this plasma phenomenon is truly pathetic, but you can believe it if you want! This is an 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena', UAP and known to the military as a 'Ghost Rocket' when seen shooting up! They have been studied because at times their activity can dramatically increase.

Flurries hit southeast Australia as towns record their first-ever summer snowfalls
The Canadian Press, 18th January 2010

CANBERRA, Australia — Australia is following its second-hottest year on record with extraordinary snow flurries in its southeastern alpine region, where some towns have recorded their first-ever summer snowfalls.

Australia's temperatures during the summer months of December through February can be uncomfortably hot even on its highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, which stands a modest 7,310 feet (2,228 metres) above sea level.

Snow fell to 3,000 feet (900 metres) above sea level Monday in parts of New South Wales and Victoria states, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Jane Golding said. "Any time of year, it's unusual to have snow down that far," she said. [...]

The town of Cooma, also in New South Wales but north of Kosciuszko, recorded its first summer snow since records were first kept in 1973.

Cooma resident Krystal Pernitsch said the wind chill factor made Monday's high temperature of 59 degrees (15 degrees Celsius) feel like 48 degrees (9 Celsius). "It's a bit of a shock to the system after last week," when the mercury reached 99 degrees (37 Celsius), she said.

Comment: I would classify this as climate change generating extreme swings of weather... I ignored the record heat down under from last week because it's summertime, but now it's snowing.... when are people going to realise that something is seriously amiss and that our world is experiencing dramatic evolutionary change?

Avatar wins Best Motion Picture Drama
Eye Witness News, 18th January 2010

The blockbuster Avatar on Monday won Best Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes.

The epic fantasy film was directed by James Cameron who also won Best Director. Cameron and his team were thrilled with their win. “We all have the best job in the world and what we do is to make entertainment for a global audience and that is what the Golden Globes mean,” said Cameron.

Comment: Brilliant! I am quite pleased that the movie Avatar is having such success, as it helps people to think about another better world, rather than focus on the 2012: the end-of-the-world madcap film portrayal, that goes OTT on the destruction of our current world. I am quite looking forward to watching this film, sometime in the near future. This is interesting, Confucius says no to ‘subversive’ blockbuster Avatar

Should Mainstream Media DEMAND To See The Outcome Of FAA UFO Reports Given to Robert Bigelow?
UFO Discosure Countdown, 17th January 2010

Hello, welcome to the UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock (UDCC) thanks for having an inquisitive mind and coming to this article. And, as you can see from the title of this post, I am wondering WHY the American Public hasn't been given something that is rightfully theirs - government information about UFO's - that the `government' office of the FAA - has been providing to a particular man and organizations. And, if you haven't been following this issue lately, to catch you up to speed - it has been internet fodder for the last couple of weeks to more closely examine what Robert Bigelow and his money has been doing with official UFO reports by airline pilots and ground control - as directed by the FAA manual for how to handle such incidents --- for almost the last decade.

Comment: I quite like this UFO website because the entries are quite thoughtful, articulate and balanced. Despite the dismay of ufologists about the lack of disclosure, I am now very confident that it won't be long now. The cake is being baked and it is starting to rise, soon everyone in the house, not just the kitchen will smell cake. The dimensions are truly opening up and NOBODY on this planet has the power to stop the process of transformation.

World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown
Times Online, 17th January 2010

A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.

In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report. [...] Some scientists have questioned how the IPCC could have allowed such a mistake into print. Perhaps the most likely reason was lack of expertise.

Comment: The many headed climategate monster strikes again! It's amazing how fast global warming lies are being torn down after it seemed that for a time, AGW proponents could make up erroneous disaster claims by twisting climate science and data and get away with almost anything... Quite frankly, after monitoring the news intensively for over three years now, I am utterly amazed that this is happening....

THE NEW CLIMATE CHANGE SCANDAL
The Express, 18th January 2010
"The International Panel on Climate Change was forced to admit its key claim that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 was lifted from a 1999 magazine article. The report was based on an interview with a little-known Indian scientist who has since said his views were “speculation” and not backed up by research. It was also revealed that the IPCC’s controversial chairman, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, described as “the world’s top climate scientist”, is a former railway engineer with a PhD in economics and no formal climate science qualifications." Please note the nerve of this man: "Before the weakness in the IPCC’s research was exposed, Dr Pachauri dismissed the Indian government report as “voodoo science”." LOL!!
I have been kind here, because this Pachauri character has had a lot of focus in the last week or so on his dubious financial dealings, which I considered to be off-topic, but he is now toast.

Most people believe in angels: poll
Otago Daily Times, 17th January 2010

Copy: Poor levels of scientific literacy in Western countries, including New Zealand, are "highly disturbing", Australian science communication researcher Dr Carol Oliver says.

Dr Oliver was in Dunedin this week to gave a lecture at the University of Otago on "Miracles, angels, UFOs and fortune-telling" and aspects of science communication.

A recent Nielsen survey showed 63% of Australians believed in miracles, 51% in angels, and 34% in UFOs, she said. Most Australians (55%) preferred a God-guided or biblical account of the development of human beings over Darwinian evolution.

In the United States, 79% of Americans believed in miracles, 68% in angels and demons, and 36% in alien visitations, with only a "staggeringly low" 40% of people believing the Darwinian account of evolution, she said. A recent Massey University survey also found 39% of New Zealand adults believed fortune-tellers could predict the future, 28% that good luck charms worked and 25% that star signs affected an individual's future.

Most adults in the Western world were considered scientifically illiterate, and this was unchanged in about 50 years of regular measurement. Dr Oliver, of the University of New South Wales, said in an interview that poor understanding of science could cause many difficulties, including for juries trying to interpret scientific evidence, and for people trying to grasp climate change and related issues.

There was scope to further improve the communication skills of scientists, and the establishment of Otago University's Centre for Science Communication was a positive move, she said.

Excerpts From The Electric Universe: Part 1 - Electric Comets
Thunderbolts.info, 16th January 2010

The following is the first of a series of excerpts from The Electric Universe, copyright © 2002, 2007 Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott and published by Mikamar Publishing. Reproduced with the kind permission of the authors and publisher. Presented by Dave Smith January 16, 2010

Since the beginning of the space age and with progression to more sophisticated and accurate space probes and telescopes, astrophysicists have been presented with many "surprises", resulting in an almost daily ad hoc adjustment of their theories. But of the many bodies known throughout space, nothing is more enigmatic for the standard model of cosmology than the humble comet. And so we begin this presentation at the beginning of Chapter 4, Electric Comets.

Comment: I will always be grateful for those currently advocating the Electric/Plasma Universe theories. When I was doing my original research for my book, I found a lot of disgruntled scientists, but the most angry were those who realised that our current electromagnetic theory was just very very poor. Hence, those who have veered away from conventional thought and created their own theories, can provide us with a consistent understanding of our universe and the appreciation that the electromagnetic force rules the universe. The Electric/Plasma Universe is now becoming the focus of a paradigm shift as the onset of Space Weather has forced the space scientists to rethink some of the most cherished astronomical theories.

Global Consciousness Project Welcomes Collaboration With Skeptics
Skeptico, 16th January 2010

When it comes to claims of a global consciousness linking us all to tragedies like the earthquake in Haiti, or the terrorist attacks of 9/11, there are many skeptics.

While the research results of the 12 year old Global Consciousness Project have withstood serious skeptical examination from researchers who’ve dug into the millions of test results collected on the publicly available website, skepticism persists.

But according to Alex Tsakiris, host of the Skeptiko science podcast, dialog between controversial science researchers and their doubters is a good for science, “it’s easy to have a knee-jerk reaction to unconventional science - that’s what makes it unconventional - but skeptics need to look deeper… critical thinking demands we’re sometimes critical of our own cherished beliefs.”

Comment: Well, true scientists welcome other scientists being able to find flaws in their theories and data interpretations etc. However, it does look like that scientists at the Global Consciousness Project have discovered at least part of the field of consciousness that is associated with the Global Mind. As I have stated before, the most interesting aspect of the research is the evidence of increasing global human interconnection over time, which is something that metaphysical sources have been adamant would be the result of the changing energies on the planet.

Hillary Clinton’s ET book discovered
Open Minds, 15th January 2010

In the 1990’s Laurance Rockefeller became interested in paranormal phenomena, especially with UFOs and Extraterrestrial visitation. He funded scientific investigations and organized and funded a briefing document to record the best evidence (Open Minds journalist, Antonio Huneeus was a key contributor to this document). Rockefeller also conferred with the Clintons regarding the release of files by President Bill Clinton.

Researcher Grant Cameron, who runs the website HillaryClintonUFO.net, was able to retrieve documents through the Freedom of Information Act that showed Rockefeller was soliciting help form Hillary’s staff on drafting a document to President Bill Clinton in 1995. The title of the document was: Lifting Secrecy on Information About Extraterrestrial Intelligence as Part of the Current Classification Review.

In August of 1995 the Clintons made a trip to Rockefeller’s JY Ranch near Jackson’s Hole, Wyoming. Many speculate that UFOs and ETs must have been a subject of conversation during the visit. However, there has never been any proof of this, until now.

Comment: Hillary Clinton and her interest in ETs will always be associated in my mind with the ignoramous who wrote to tell me I had gone off the rails because I answered a fair question when asked in an interview about UFOs. My reaction then and now is: would this person have the nerve to write to Hillary Clinton and tell her she has gone off the rails? I don't think so! There must be a tremendous number of people waking up now and realising we are definitely NOT alone!

Strange clouds in the sky over the Palm Beaches
WPTV.com News, 15th January 2010

WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- There were some strange clouds spotted over south Florida on Thursday. They looked like a line or circle just dropped out of the sky. A steady flow of viewer pictures have come into WPTV.com.

Click the slide show to see some of them. They are commonly mistaken for UFOs because of their unusual appearance. These clouds are called "Fallstreak Hole Clouds" or "Punch Hole Clouds". They are rare and usually for from cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds (high clouds) about 3 to 7.5 miles up. It happens when the water particles in the clouds are below freezing, but haven't actually frozen yet because there's no particle for it to freeze on.

When there finally is something for the water vapor to freeze on (airplane exhaust, dust, ash, etc) the water freezes and sets up a chain reaction or domino effect, causing the frozen water droplets to drop to the earth leaving a large hole or line in the cloud.

Comment: Just taking note of the occurence of this phenomena. The slideshow here is also interesting...... The explanation of no particles for water to freeze on is just completely unbelievable and I have not seen that excuse used elsewhere.

Climategate goes American: NOAA, GISS and the mystery of the vanishing weather stations
Telegraph Delingpole Blog, 16th January 2010

For those who haven’t seen it, here’s a link to US weatherman John Coleman’s magisterial demolition of the Great AGW Scam. I particularly recommend part 4 because that’s the one with all the meat. It shows how temperature readings have been manipulated at the two key climate data centres in the United States – the NASA Goddard Science and Space Institute at Columbia University in New York and the NOAA National Climate Data Center in Ashville, North Carolina. (Hat tip: Platosays) This is a scandal to rank with Climategate.

Comment: "This is a scandal to rank with Climategate. I believe that Climategate is a many headed monster, therefore, this is all part of the same breathtaking corruption of science, as we already know that there was a coordinated international effort between a cabal of about 43 scientists (identified by Canadian Professor Timothy Ball). It's interesting that this has been exposed by a computer programmer. Despite the negative press in the media about programmers being nerdy, I am more interested in his demonstration of higher consciousness. Anyway, I think we can repeat the observation already made on this blog about world climate data; “Non gradus anus rodentum!”

'orange ball' UFOs spotted over Maltby
Dinnington Today, 15th January 2010

PANICKED residents in Maltby claim the area is being visited by UFO's after several sightings of mysterious orange lights hovering above the town. Eight locals claim they have seen eerie ball-shaped objects moving without sound on spotters website uk-ufo.co.uk They were last sighted on New Years Day - but reports have been coming in at regular intervals since mid-September.

Witnesses describe the strange glowing orbs as "spooky" and "totally silent". One Maltby residsent, Paul Coe, said: "I keep seeing these weird lights. I have compared the size with planes and these things are twice the size of a 757."

Comment: Yes, some people are panicked.... At the moment, I can only assume the metaphysical community are in a state of paralysis. Many were OK about the orbs on digital images, but massive balls of light flying around us is too much. Well, this is the Apocalypse and our reality has changed for ever and the Cosmic Fairy tale of Father Sun having a union with the Cosmic Mother on the 21st December 2012 (but only if you are in the Northern hemisphere, those down under were never ever going to get a piece of this cosmic fantasy), was a useful marketing tool that appealed to spiritual children. At some point, the general public will be informed of the truth and that The Keepers of Ancient Knowledge were bypassed in favour of a 1-day Mayan calendar bash, by people who don't understand enough about our reality. By the way, if you are waiting for the balls of light to go away, then according to Mayan Elders they will be around for at least 5,200 years, as that is the period of time that our reality will be dominated by space and the ether. There is no excuse now. Good information has been given out in the New Age/metaphysical community, widely available 16 years ago, that concerned these plasma entities from New Agers channelling them, so now the general public are having a rude awakening and I am very sorry it has happened this way.

Videos: Orbs in formation, bright red orb caught on video - Norwich [UK]
"These balls of light moved very fast in a way I can only describe as like demented fireflies and were so large and bright that one lit my bathroom like a sun-set and they lit huge sections of the street orange."
What the hell is going to happen when it becomes totally undeniable that our world has changed virtually overnight! Fortunately, there seems to be plenty of people taking the sudden appearance of a new lifeform very well and I am quite pleased about that....

Diamond Oceans Possible on Uranus, Neptune
By melting and resolidifying diamond, scientists explain how such liquid diamond oceans may be possible.
Discovery News, 15th January 2010

THE GIST:

* Like ice on water, solid diamond floats on liquid diamond.
* The finding explains possible liquid diamond oceans on other planets.
* Diamond oceans may cause off-kilter planetary tilts.

Oceans of liquid diamond, filled with solid diamond icebergs, could be floating on Neptune and Uranus, according to a recent article in the journal Nature Physics.

The research, based on first detailed measurements of the melting point of diamond, found diamond behaves like water during freezing and melting, with solid forms floating atop liquid forms. The surprising revelation gives scientists a new understanding about diamonds and some of the most distant planets in our solar system.[...]

An ocean of diamond could help explain the orientation of the planet's magnetic field as well, said Eggert. Roughly speaking, the Earth's magnetic poles match up with the geographic poles. The magnetic and geographic poles on Uranus and Neptune do not match up; in fact, they can be up to 60 degrees off of the north-south axis.

Comment: It's interesting that scientists are studying the properties of diamonds and applying this to planets in our solar system. The diamond has great meaning in traditional esoteric and mystical teaching as it is recognised to be high frequency in the cosmic scheme of things. The diamond is the most evolved crystal. "Note: the header states: Dicovery ...news wants a little of that space bling." My respeonse is that according to NASA a 30 light year wide cloud of bling is arriving and is already on our door step and we know from astronomers that it is a dense crystalline dusty plasma. The metaphysical community have neem told that this is dimaond ray energy or diamond flame energy, but have been told to prepare because this high energy could burn out our EM circuits. However, I do like the connotations of "cosmic bling".

Giant Ribbon at the Edge of the Solar System: Mystery Solved?
NASA News, 15th January 2010

Last year, when NASA's IBEX (Interstellar Boundary Explorer) spacecraft discovered a giant ribbon at the edge of the solar system, researchers were mystified. They called it a "shocking result" and puzzled over its origin. Now the mystery may have been solved.

"We believe the ribbon is a reflection," says Jacob Heerikhuisen, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. "It is where solar wind particles heading out into interstellar space are reflected back into the solar system by a galactic magnetic field."

Comment: At the WUWT forum, we have another interpretation from someone who sees the 'Giant Ribbon' in terms of plasma physics and so we can dispense with this new theory by Jacob Heerikhuisen et al., which I think should not be taken seriously anyway because it's retrospective. Any decent theory is supposed to be predictive and observations are supposed to ensure that scientists have got their basic ideas right. Well, NASA et al. proved they did not have the fundamentals correct because the 'Giant Ribbon' was a complete surprise. Anyway, this is from Solrey who comments at WUWT:

solrey (09:16:52) :
The reflection process posited by Heerikhuisen et al. is a bit complicated, involving multiple “charge exchange” reactions between protons and hydrogen atoms. The upshot, however, is simple. Particles from the solar wind that escape the solar system are met ~100 astronomical units (~15 billion kilometers) away by an interstellar magnetic field. Magnetic forces intercept the escaping particles and sling them right back where they came from. However, the bubble itself is vulnerable to external fields. A strong magnetic field just outside the solar system could press against the heliosphere and interact with it in unknown ways.

The rest of the quote is also quite interesting as the plasma universe interpretation removes most the mystery that plagues much of conventional science related to the universe.

160 flights disrupted after Tokyo airport glitch
The Independent, 14th January 2010

More than 160 flights to and from Tokyo's Haneda airport were disrupted Thursday after a computer glitch hit a new air radar system hours after it was installed, the transport ministry said.

The malfunction slowed data transmissions from 10:37 am (0137 GMT) until shortly before noon, and 22 flights were cancelled while another 140 flights were still delayed as of 5:00 pm, an official said.

"The government is currently investigating the cause of the system trouble, including whether it was due to the new system being installed," he said.

Comment: I am wondering why there are so many "glitches" at airports... see also another report from the 14th,
ATC systems crash at Delhi airport, flights delayed
"The Air Traffic Control systems, which help aircraft take off and land, crashed at the Delhi International Airport Thursday evening disrupting flights since 6.30 p.m."

Earthquakes and the Unknown
Inexplicata, 14th January 2010

During an exchange of internet communications in the hours shortly following the massive 7.0 earthquake that devastated the Haitian capital city, Port-au-Prince, which left death and destruction in its wake, mention was made of the “far out” theories that have emerged in the 2000s to account for such disasters: scalar weaponry, alien craft concealed as passing asteroids, HAARP and other culprits that have gone on to become the “usual suspects” on paranormal radio and Web discussions. [...]

In the early days of the UFO phenomenon, and even up to the present time among certain contactee circles, there was the moderately generalized belief that if UFOs were manifesting themselves during earthquakes or volcanic eruptions (such as the spectacular Decepción Island eruption of 1965, resulting in a now-famous photo of an unknown object), it must be because alien scientists must be reconnoitering our planet and studying its geological processes as part of a survey of not only our world, but perhaps our entire solar system.

Comment: There is a clear connection with earthquakes and plasma phenomena in the form of quakelights and earthlights. This articles is noted because despite the fact that ufologists are keen to reveal the existence of "Space Brothers", the evidence is very clear that ufo-like objects (UAPs) are also closely associated with earthquakes. Simply, if you think about it, if a there was a massive build-up of electrical charge in your home and you knew things were about to explode, you would get out fast too! These days, scientists can use satellites to detect intensive electric fields in places where earthquakes are brewing as they induce specific currents in the ionosphere, See Earthquake prediction is written in the clouds At this moment in time, humans do not know much about this other lifeform that inhabits this planet, but it is very clear to anyone that has done enough research, that a non-carbon based lifeform exists and the reports of sightings go back hundreds of years. There is a brilliant example on YouTube [1:16] taken the night before the Haiti earthquake by American Missionaries. link

NASA Caught in Climate Data Manipulation; New Revelations Headlined on KUSI-TV Climate Special
Spaceref.com, 14th January 2010

Climate researchers have discovered that NASA researchers improperly manipulated data in order to claim 2005 as "THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD." KUSI-TV meteorologist, Weather Channel founder, and iconic weatherman John Coleman will present these findings in a one-hour special airing on KUSI-TV on Jan.14 at 9 p.m. A related report will be made available on the Internet at 6 p.m. EST on January 14th at www.kusi.com.

In a new report, computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph D'Aleo discovered extensive manipulation of the temperature data by the U.S. Government's two primary climate centers: the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) in Ashville, North Carolina and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) at Columbia University in New York City. Smith and D'Aleo accuse these centers of manipulating temperature data to give the appearance of warmer temperatures than actually occurred by trimming the number and location of weather observation stations. The report is available online at http://icecap.us/images/uploads/NOAAroleinclimategate.pdf.

Comment: I was surprised with the headline and even more surprised that it came from the spaceref.com website... not known for being the domain of climate sceptics.... it looks like they got a scoop. Details of TV special, Global Warming: The Other Side
"KUSI meteorologist, John Coleman, has an amazing story to tell of science gone bad, and new revelations as the “climategate” scandal comes to the United States. Join us on Thursday, January 14th, at 9pm, Pacific Time, for the special report that will explode the global warming myth!"

Update 1
More on John Coleman’s Special tonight – KUSI press release says NASA improperly manipulated data Quote:

James K (19:33:34) :
I particularly liked the Latin quote: “Non gradus anus rodentum.” My Latin is a little out of date, but I believe he said that the data is “not worth a rat’s ass.” Beautiful! [LOL!!]

Update 2
John Coleman’s hourlong news special “Global Warming – The Other Side” now online, all five parts here If you don't have time, then segment 4 is the most informative, link here. Hellfire!

Update 3
Rebuttal from NASA:

NASA has issued the following statement in response to the KUSI Special Report. This statement is from Dr. James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City:

"NASA has not been involved in any manipulation of climate data used in the annual GISS global temperature analysis. The analysis utilizes three independent data sources provided by other agencies. Quality control checks are regularly performed on that data. The analysis methodology as well as updates to the analysis are publicly available on our website. The agency is confident of the quality of this data and stands by previous scientifically based conclusions regarding global temperatures." (GISS temperature analysis website: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/) link

I imagine that well known offenders are now really sweating and hoping that this story does not run. Also, don't forget, NASA have been caught out TWICE by Steve McIntyre in recent years for inaccurate press releases based on their poor quality datasets. See below:

Are Men More Evolved Than Women?
Men might not be so primitive after all.
Discovery News, 13th January 2010

Women may think of men as primitive, but new research indicates that the Y chromosome -- the thing that makes a man male -- is evolving far faster than the rest of the human genetic code.

A new study comparing the Y chromosomes from humans and chimpanzees, our nearest living relatives, show that they are about 30 percent different. That is far greater than the 2 percent difference between the rest of the human genetic code and that of the chimp's, according to a study appearing online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

These changes occurred in the last 6 million years or so, relatively recently when it comes to evolution. "The Y chromosome appears to be the most rapidly evolving of the human chromosomes," said study co-author Dr. David Page, director of the prestigious Whitehead Institute in Cambridge and a professor of biology at MIT. "It's an almost ongoing churning of gene reconstruction. It's like a house that's constantly being rebuilt."

Before men get too impressed with themselves, lead author Jennifer Hughes offers some words of caution: Just because the Y chromosome, which determines gender, is evolving at a speedy rate it doesn't necessarily mean men themselves are more evolved. Researchers took the most detailed examination of the Y chromosome, which females do not have, of both humans and chimps and found entire sections dramatically different. There were even entire genes on the human Y chromosome that weren't on the chimp, said Hughes, also of the Whitehead Institute.

The two-year research took twice as long as expected because of the evolutionary changes found, Hughes said.

Comment: Hmmm... I think there needs to be more explanations here, but my preliminary thoughts are that this research has profound implications for our understanding that we are experiencing rapid evolutionary change.

British UFO reports triple in final MoD report
News Lite, 13th January 2010

The MoD may have recently closed their UFO department, but 2009 saw the one of the highest number UFO sightings ever recorded.

Over 600 odd lights or strange objects were reported to the Ministry of Defence 'X Files' bureau last year - which was quietly axed in December.

That number made 2009 the busiest year since 1978 for the department, which investigated all claims - more than 12,000 since it was opened in 1950. Among the recent sightings was someone from Essex who saw a flying orange light the size of a 20p coin and a man from Doncaster who saw one the size of 30 jumbo jets.

Indeed many of the reports involved an OBOL (Orange Ball of Light) - In completely unrelated news, has anyone noticed how popular those Chinese Lanterns are at the moment. Link MoD 2009 Report (pdf)

Comment: Hmmm.... Download the pdf, most reports suggest UAP phenomena as suggested in this article, no wonder the MOD just gave up and shut down the UFO desk.

Brit UFO Reports Triple in 2009
The Sun, 13th January 2010
In 2009 there were 643 reports of bizarre lights, strange spheres and curious orbs in our skies — a figure only beaten in 1978. UFO expert Nick Pope said 31 years ago there were 750 reports from panicked members of the public. [...] Mr Pope, who used to run the MoD's UFO project, said last night: "This is incredible. Britain is being inundated with UFO sightings. "I'm sure the record would have been smashed had the MoD not terminated the UFO project late last year. "These sensational figures just show how wrong that decision was. "There are sightings here from military personnel, police officers and air traffic controllers."

"The Black Cloud" - Could Life Exist in Clouds of Interstellar Dust?
Daily Galaxy, 13th January 2010

In 1964, astrophysicists in Fred Hoyle's scifi novel, The Black Cloud, become aware of an immense black cloud of gas that enters the solar system. The cloud, moving to interpose itself between the sun and the earth, could wipe out most of the life on earth by blocking solar radiation and ending photosynthesis. Astronomers and other scientists gather in England, where they discover that the cloud is a super-organism, many times more intelligent than our human species.

In a fascinating case of life imitating art, physicists have discovered over the past few years intriguing evidence of life-like double-helix structures formed from inorganic substances in space which raises the question of whether extraterrestrial life could be composed of corkscrew-shaped formations of interstellar dust. The findings hint at the possibility that life beyond Earth may not necessarily use carbon-based molecules as its building blocks and they may also point to a possible new explanation for the origin of life on Earth.

Comment: Yes and "Fluffy" the interstellar crystalline cloud [officially called Local Fluff] that scientists say is like nothing else they have ever seen before, is now very close.... In fact, the evidence suggests, that it is already here and we are experiencing the outer edges. The unfolding of the true story about "Fluffy" that astronomers have known about for at least 25 years, gives us a new degree of respect for channelled messages that have informed us about the arrival of diamond ray or diamond flame energy, see Integrating and Igniting The Diamond Ray Flame. It is also another major prediction verification for modern Mayan Elders who also warned us about a New Age dominated by Space and the ether and other Keepers of Ancient Knowledge that predicted a dimensional shift that is clearly taking place now.

WIDE SUNSPOT:
News, 13th January 2010

Sunspot 1040 has grown so large (ten times wider than Earth) that only a fraction of it fits on the page. Click on the image for the big picture: here Dennis Simmons sends the image from Brisbane, Australia, where a short spell of exceptionally steady air this morning allowed him to capture the sunspot with superb clarity. "After the software had processed my data, I was left gasping, astonished by what the seeing had allowed me to witness. This is far and away my best-ever high-resolution image of a sunspot."

Comment: Hmmm.... The image icon used here is from the 22nd December 2009. The sun has been spitting solar flares and corona mass ejections and according to some, this was all caused by a sungrazer comet. Now of cause, in the gravity driven universe this is complete nonsense and just a coincidence but this just ignores all the facts that scientists now know due to their high tech space probes that are providing them with lots of embarrasing contradictions to accepted theory. So in the real universe dominated by electromagnetism, comets are an electrical phenomena and they admit a wide range of frequencies including x-rays and radio signals. Yes, that's right, comets are in constant communication with the universe and so is the Sun. At the moment, the belief by some is that the comet discovered by amateur astronomer Alan Watson distingrated, but it's mission was to trigger the sun from an extemely deep solar minimum. There has been quite a lot of action in the last week or so, but the sun had apparently woken up anyway, but in this solar minimum, these awakenings have been followed by deep slumber again, so the following timeline is of interest because we have some real action now:

Spaceweather.com, 22 Dec 2009
SOLAR ACTIVITY: The sun is showing signs of life. There are no fewer than five active regions on the sun's surface, shown here in an extreme ultraviolet photo taken this morning by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):

Many casualties expected after big quake in Haiti
Yahoo News, 12th January 2010

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The largest earthquake ever recorded in the area rocked Haiti on Tuesday, collapsing a hospital where people screamed for help and damaging other buildings. An aid official described "total disaster and chaos." Communications were widely disrupted, making it impossible to get a clear picture of damage as powerful aftershocks shook a desperately poor country where many buildings are flimsy. Electricity was out in some places. Karel Zelenka, a Catholic Relief Services representative in the capital of Port-au-Prince, told U.S. colleagues before phone service failed that "there must be thousands of people dead," according to a spokeswoman for the aid group, Sara Fajardo. "He reported that it was just total disaster and chaos, that there were clouds of dust surrounding Port-au-Prince," Fajardo said from the group's offices in Maryland.

Comment: This is a poor country with no real construction standards. According to French radio, www.livestream.com most buildings have collapsed, including the National Palace and other major buildings. A major disaster. Here is USGS info PAGER - M 7.0 - HAITI REGION Total, total disaster, prayers needed.

At the moment, we can check the Gamma-ray Burst Real-time Sky Map and there was a burst on the 11th Jan, but we really want to know if this was magnetar related and that information seems to be not so easy to find.... Please remember, the December 2004 tsunami was linked to a gravity wave that arrived 44.6 hours BEFORE the GRB, so this info is not easy to "officially" determine, especially since authorities don't want people to know that we can be effected by objects on the otherside of the galaxy....

Pictures of devastation: Earthquake in Haiti
Denver Post, 13th January 2010

(AP) Haitians are piling bodies along the devastated streets of their capital after a powerful earthquake flattened the president’s palace and the main prison, the cathedral, hospitals, schools and thousands of homes. Untold numbers are still trapped. President Rene Preval says he believes thousands of people are dead even as other officials give much higher estimates – though they were based on the extent of the destruction rather than firm counts of the dead. His prime minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, tells CNN: “I believe we are well over 100,000,” while leading senator Youri Latortue tells The Associated Press that 500,000 could be dead. Both admit they have no way of knowing. The magnitude-7 quake struck Tuesday afternoon. Some photos are coming out of the country but most photojournalists are just arriving and trying to find ways to transmit the photos. We will update the blog as more photos are available. WARNING: This post contains graphic images of dead bodies and injured survivors.

How the UAH Global Temperatures Are Produced
by Dr. Roy Spencer, PhD.
Watts Up with That, 12th January 2010

I am still receiving questions about the method by which the satellite microwave measurements are calibrated to get atmospheric temperatures. The confusion seems to have arisen because Christopher Monckton has claimed that our satellite data must be tied to the surface thermometer data, and after Climategate (as well all know) those traditional measurements have become suspect. So, time for a little tutorial.

Comment: WUWT is a great website if you want to know the FACTS and spin which they regularly debunk, concerning climate science. However, every now and then, tutorials are provided and here is one on how satellite temperatures are produced and measured. Warning: technical.

Bizzare 'Light Stick' UFO or cryptid snapped above the Kremlin
All News Web, 12th January 2010

Russian Ufologists and cryptozoology fans are excited by another UFO or possible cryptid that was photographed over the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia (see above).

The event occurred on December 21 at around 7pm just days after at least a hundred witnesses sighted a mammoth pyramid UFO over the Kremlin. A photojournalist had set up a a camera for a timed shot. Nothing was seen during the shoot, however when the picture was developed the UFO or mystery creature was noticed.

The question as to whether it is an alien UFO or an unknown life-form is now being debated. Some believe this is a six winged creature that cannot be picked up by human eyes. Noted too was the fact that the object appeared on December 21, the date of doomsday 2012.

In China, where this particular anomaly is often photographed, these type of UFOs are called 'light sticks'. Some researchers believe they might be some sort of ghost-like dragon creature rather than extraterrestrial UFOs.

Comment: Thank God for the Russians!
Dear Russian scientists, please do your investigations quickly and then make "a discovery" announcement of an "unknown lifeform" to the world, even though you already know this for a fact, as you have been investigating Vacuum Domains and Natural Self Luminous Formations [NLSFs] which are all part of the same lifeform ecology. Due to the dimensional shift, lots of ordinary people are starting to see these things, even without high tech infra-red cameras and high specification night vision googles, and things are now getting ridiculous, especially in the UK! Please help!

Update 12th February 2010 A Youtube video [0:06], no details of where it was taken but there is an American voice in the background and even though this thing moves really quickly, it is clear that it's the same type of UAP cryptid seen over the Kremlin. Absolutely awesome! See, 'Light Stick' UAP Cryptid

Video: Large bright orb of orange light passing over - Sprowston, Norwich, Norfolk [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 12th January 2010

Location of Sighting: Sprowston, Norwich
Date of Sighting: 01/01/2010, Time: 00:30 hrs
Witness Name: B King

Witness Statement: I went to the bathroom and before I turned on the light the whole room was lit as orange as a sunset. I went to the back door, looked out and saw a large bright orb of orange light pass over a neighbours’s house and another bright orange orb fast approaching. These were too fast to be Chinese lanterns or balloons and threw out too much light. I see a lot of aircraft as I live near the airport and I estimate that these orbs were travelling at the speed of a light-aircraft and against the wind direction of North – north-west (source weatherquest.co.uk.) I fetched my camera and put it onto default video mode. I took two short videos from the front of my house where I look over Norwich below.

Please see my videos on you tube by searching for “ufo Norwich 2010? (bking1964) and make up your own mind. I saw 5 orbs in total all heading South-west across Norwich. This same phenomena seems to have happened all around the world on New Years Eve/Day and is surely worthy of serious investigation.

Comment: Here is the link for the YouTube video [1:21], UFO sighting (part 1) Norwich UK (1st Jan 2010) . Here is the comment on YouTube:

I have been informed that these are UFO "orbs" which at night look like spherical fireballs. A "Google" search? states they are 1 - 30 metres in size. I am filming this one from a hill so by the end of the video it is two miles away and still no less bright. My camera cannot photograph the lights of aeroplanes at night so these were exceptionally bright. The trajectory and movement is entirely the orbs as I used my gatepost to support my arm as I filmed.

So are folk just going to just ACCEPT the fact that our world has changed forever, with no scientific or metaphysical explanation from anyone? There are lots more reports on this website and the following are of interest:

11 to 15 orange orbs gliding from East to West - Johannesburg, S. Africa
"We dont have any chinese celebrations and have ruled out lanterns." Well, not at the moment, but your authorities might decide that South Africans have changed their culture overnight, like the British who are apparently now busy setting off Chinese lanterns all year round and in all weather conditions, just for the sake of blessing the nation with this Chinese symbol of peace and goodwill.

Video: UFO or what? Strange blue lights over Tracy caught on video [California, US] "The lights appeared to travel high in the sky and turn off and then quickly appear close to the ground," Ruth said. Ruth said during the nearly 90 minutes they watched the light, it also seemed to blink on and off intermittently, but irregularly. It disappeared around 9 p.m.
Actually, it looks like quite a party with a bright blue orb and other orbs dancing around.

The Avatar effect: Movie-goers feel depressed and even suicidal at not being able to visit utopian alien planet
Daily Mail, 12th January 2010

A utopian planet inhabited by blue aliens is the ideal setting for a bit of cinematic escapism. But the world of the sci-fi epic Avatar is so perfect the line between fact and fiction has become somewhat blurred. Movie-goers have admitted being plagued by depression and suicidal thoughts at not being able to visit the planet Pandora.

Comment: No surprise, most people realise that life on this planet sucks, but a brilliantly produced utopian world in a movie showing you what life could be like is probably too much for many people. I note the Catholic Church review of the film and the conclusion, must be very confusing for environmentalists, especially after all the talk of being green. Obviously, "blue aliens" demonstrating a love for nature is not giving the same message as "green business" wrapped up as religion.... Hence the following quote:

Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said that while the movie reviews are just that — film criticism, not theological pronouncements — they do reflect Pope Benedict XVI's views on the dangers of turning nature into a "new divinity." Vatican says 'Avatar' is no masterpiece

Yes, very confusing, see New Year message, Pope urges lifestyle changes to save environment. Also, check out the photoshop image at redicecreations.com. LOL!!

Vatican Not Happy Avatar Promotes Nature Worship

Wind farms produced 'practically no electricity' during Britain's cold snap
Wind farms produced "practically no electricity" during the cold snap which manufacturers' groups say could lead to severe winter energy shortages.
The Telegraph, 11th January 2010

The cold weather has been accompanied by high pressure and a lack of wind, which meant that only 0.2pc of a possible 5pc of the UK's energy was generated by wind turbines over the last few days. Jeremy Nicholson, director of the Energy Intensive Users Group (EIUG), gave warning that this could turn into a crisis when the UK is reliant on 6,400 turbines accounting for a quarter of all UK electricity demand over the next 10 years He said the shortfall in power generated by wind during cold snaps seriously undermined the Government's pledge on Friday to build nine major new wind "super farms" by 2020.

Comment: Well, we can only conclude that windpower is only any good in fair weather.... and that is when there is some wind.... Whatever, this is still not as bad as the energy savings light bulbs that will give you mercury poisoning if you break one or the energy saving traffic lights that don't give off enough heat to melt snow and so now people are dying in traffic accidents. I note the comments here, it looks like more people are waking up and soon more will start building and distributing "free energy devices", it won't be long now....

The Big Bang is a Big Bust for Skeptics
Discovery News, 12th January 2010

To some astronomy enthusiasts the phrase "big bang" seems awfully superfluous. It's the shortest of shorthands for describing the origin of everything: stars, planets, people and petunias.>

Astronomers think all of this came from an extremely hot and dense fireball that sprang out of a microscopic quantum space netherworld 13.7 billion years ago.

The award-winning science writer-producer Timothy Ferris lambasted the term "big bang" years ago: "For all its triumphs the big bang theory labors under an embarrassing handicap -- it's a misleading, ugly and trivializing name.We're talking here about the origin of the universe, an event that has been viewed by all cultures with the utmost reverence." [...]

"In 1994 Ferris, Hugh Downs of ABC-TV, and Cornell astronomer Carl Sagan judged over 13,000 entries from people in 41 countries who suggested new names for the big bang, in a contest sponsored by Sky and Telescope magazine. Some entries included: Matter Morphosis, The Bottom Turtle, Super Seed, Hubble Bubble, Let There Be Stuff, Blast from the Past, the Spark in the Dark, Buddha's Burp, Trip from Zip, Immaculate Inception, Primal Pop, Jurassic Quark, and Time In!

Comment: LOL!! Buddha's Burp must have won..... It seems that the term 'Big Bang' is going out of fashion. By the way, the so called 'proof' of the Big Bang provided by the near perfect blackbody radiation pictured here is a complete fraud, see exposing a fraudulent discovery.

Nuclear reactor shutdown in NYC suburb
Press TV, 12th January 2010

One of the two active power reactors at a nuclear plant in New York state has been shut down due to an unexpected malfunction in its main electrical generator.

The nuclear power reactor, Indian Point 2, went offline automatically at 4 p.m. Monday after the malfunction was spotted, Ria Novosti reported. According to the report, the nuclear plant owner, Entergy, says engineers are trying to find the exact cause of the malfunction, adding that the plant had operated for 66 days since another shutdown in November 2009. They offered assurances that a second reactor at the plant continues working.

Comment: Hmmm.... so of course there is no real information about the cause, so we are allowed to speculate. I wonder if this was caused by a Geomagnetically Induced Current (GIC) which will become an increasing problem for power supply operators, as Earth continues to lower her shields to Space Weather and hence the massive build up of charge.

Ongoing human evolution could explain recent rise in certain disorders
Scientists call for integrating evolutionary perspectives into medical curricula
Eureka alert, 11th January 2010

The subtle but ongoing pressures of human evolution could explain the seeming rise of disorders such as autism, autoimmune diseases, and reproductive cancers, researchers write in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Certain adaptations that once benefited humans may now be helping such ailments persist in spite of – or perhaps because of – advancements in modern culture and medicine.

"This work points out linkages within the plethora of new information in human genetics and the implications for human biology and public health, and also illustrates how one could teach these perspectives in medical and premedical curricula," says author Peter Ellison, John Cowles Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University. [...]

In the final presentation of the colloquium, researchers called for the integration of evolutionary perspectives into medical school curricula, to help future physicians consider health problems from an evolutionary perspective.

Comment: It looks like some are starting to think and the paradigm is shifting...

NEO 2010 AL30 Close Approach
Portal of the Universe, 11th January 2010

Comment:
A more descriptive account can be found at Discovery News
2010 AL30: An Asteroid or Man Made Object? Where we find:

On Wednesday (Jan. 13), an object called 2010 AL30 will fly by Earth at a distance of 130,000 km (80,000 miles). That's only one-third of the way from here to the moon.

Astronomers will be able to observe it shining with a brightness of a 14th magnitude star as it dashes through the constellations of Orion, Taurus, and Pisces (further details about the orbit of 2010 AL30 can be found on NASA's Solar System Dynamics website).

This small object is cataloged as a 10 meter-wide asteroid and there's no chance it will impact Earth, but it does provide astronomers with an interesting opportunity. [...]

2010 AL30 is a great example of how much of a warning we'd have for an object of this size on an impact trajectory. After all, the discovery was only announced on Jan. 11, two days before its Earth encounter.

We have had many near misses in recent years and in 2004 there was major panic that something massive would hit us and due to a tip off from an astronomer, people started to realise that the military and world leaders were preparing for the worst. The dead cert missed us...... again. In the metaphysical community, we have had chapter and verse from the Lee Carroll channelling Kryon, who has just been invited to the United Nations again , for the 7th time, who reliably informed us that comet Machholz-2 that was discovered in 1994 was originally on a trajectory that would terminate life on this planet, but it was disarmed because of our raising of consciousness and so arrived in pieces with a different trajectories and missed us. What you need to realise is that everytime these asteroids or comets 'just miss', cosmic energies are being deployed on our planet that are being used to help in the evolutionary transition. It does not matter that world authorities are occasionally convinced that we are going to get smacked, because they do not take into account that whatever happens is determined by human consciousness and that seems to be continually rising.

IN ADDITION: The Day of Judgement....
Just for a few folk who might be wondering where all this is leading. Well, it is very clear to me that from time, the message has always been that humanity faces a day of judgement and what happens very much depends on our level of spirituality or consciousness. This is registered around Earth as field of Global consciousness that is closely associated with the Earth's other electromagnetic and crystalline grids. Scientists now have evidence that a field of global consciousness exists and the research is easily available, alongside the evidence for the existence of the other grids. Through these grids, human conscisousness is then broadcast out into the universe and universal forces have to take that into account, but we get 'tests' on a regular basis anyway. As far as global consciousness is concerned, those who operate at the self-centered me, me and me level, are not contributing to requisite high spiritual frequencies that matter. At the present time, it is quite clear that the rich and powerful think that whatever happens that they will be safe and the underground bunkers will be enough. Unfortunately, this lacks any comprehension that we are facing universal forces that are compelled to take into account high frequencies of light, if your energy field is not humming with those high frequencies then you are fair game, but at the same time, we are judged as a collective.

[Mayan Elder Carlos Barrios] A wave of charged particles
Prophetic Voices, 11th January 2010

Message from Mitch Battros
January 8th, 2010
The Mayan elder Carlos Barrios has given some news about events going to happen in the year 2010. Mitch Battros writes:

� New information regarding events which could occur during 2010 has been mentioned in our last phone conversation. The information which had been told to me remains as follows: There will be an ESCALATION OF EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY, VOLCANIC ACTIVITY, and a NEAR-MISS SMALLER BOLIDE which will go undetected until 24 hours to its presence.

The new information presented to me yesterday is RELATED TO A WAVE OF CHARGED PARTICLES which will have a significant effect on Earth. All the above is predicted to occur in 2010. �

Comment: This is from Mitch Battros who has interviewed Mayan Elder Carlos Barrios and who then wrote a longer report 11th Jan 2010, IT HAS BEGUN - PREPARE, SAY MAYAN ELDERS about events which could occur during 2010. Presumably, the information given here is taken from The Earthchangesmedia.com website and since this info is only for subscribers, you will just have to ignore the commentary. Mitch Battros is very aware of Space Weather so it is difficult to tell how much of this interview is taken from Carlos Barrios and how much is his interpretation, I can only presume that the emphasis on the A WAVE OF CHARGED PARTICLES which will have a significant effect on Earth was stressed by Barrios, and it is most interesting that we have a Mayan Elder now talking about severe Space Weather! Note: If this is diamond ray energy about to hit us big time, then I should expect this message to be reflected in other channelled messages, so I am now on the look out...

The Hieros Gamos
Philip Coppens, January 2010

One of the most intriguing, nebulous and controversial topics of history and magic is the “hieros gamos”, “the sacred marriage”.

Believed to incorporate both sex and ritual, it should not come as a surprise that throughout history, it has attracted many – and often, those who should truly well stay clear of it. Its fame has meant that the theme was used by Dan Brown in “The Da Vinci Code”, where he described it as how “man could achieve a climactic instant when his mind went totally blank and he could see God”. Brown is not the only one who has linked the experience with tantrism and the withholding of orgasm. He is, of course, also the man who considered Mary Magdalene’s vulva to be the Holy Grail.

Comment: Sorry, I can't comment much, because this is a subject that I have next to zero experience, but as I stated in my article, The Diamond Code - Revealing the Mysteries, Da Vinci Style!, it is highlighted because this can be a way of building up your energy field...

The Interstellar Medium
Thunderbolts info, 11th January 2010

[...]According to a recent press release, there is an unexpected cloud of gas and dust that is encompassing the Sun's heliosheath. Prior to the discovery, conventional understanding did not predict that it would be there because high pressure supernova shockwaves should have blown it away. However, according to Merav Opher of George Mason University: "Using data from Voyager, we have discovered a strong magnetic field just outside the Solar System. This magnetic field holds the interstellar cloud together and solves the long-standing puzzle of how it can exist at all."

On August 20, 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 2 mission on a multiyear journey to the outer Solar System. Voyager 1 was launched on a faster, shorter trajectory on September 5, 1977. Voyager 1 passed through the Sun's termination shock in December 2004. Voyager 2, traveling a different path, did the same in August 2007. It was data from those "old-timers" that provided the information for Opher's assessment of the ISM.

What is the heliosheath? When Voyager 1 experienced "unusual events" as it approached the boundary between the Sun and interstellar space, Electric Universe advocate Wal Thornhill explained that the spacecraft was entering a "double layer", or Langmuir plasma sheath between the solar plasma and the plasma of the ISM.

Comment: This article is quite simple and reads almost like a tutorial and helps us decode other more obscure articles coming from NASA et al.
More on "Fluffy" I have found new information that has now help me pull together different strands of information from scientific and metaphysical sources. Briefly, our scientists have know for at least 25 years of the approach of this cloud that was also harbouring some big comets. There have been some ridiculous estimates for how long it would take to arrive, but it's on our doorstep now. NASA et al. are being very vague in their latest press releases, but there is help from elsewhere as information has been put in the public domain and some from astronomers who hoped to stay anonymous.... It seems that we are already in the outer nebulous portion of this cloud and it seems to have smaller pockets that are more magnetised and more dense, and that is where there is some concern, see December 2008, How a Cloud of Space Dust Could Wipe Out Life on Earth. Now the best bit is that metaphysical messages have talked about the arrival of crystalline energy, for example see, Integrating and Igniting The Diamond Ray Flame, so guess what the rumours from the astronomical community suggested a few years back? This is a massive story that has been unfolding for many years and we even have prophecies, some very old prophecies that now make sense. It must be stated that many old prophecies have been voided and that is why Armaggedon did not take place, but the Seers over the centuries have seen many different potentials for mankind and so our future has never been fixed. The avoidance of major disaster scenarios for around 2000 suggests that indeed, mankind have chosen to move to a higher state of evolution and consciousness, so I am not saying there will not be any trouble, but I believe we have avoided the worst world wide catastrophe. Now, since those who are most interested in their evolution have been given much guidance about upgrading their energy fields, it seems that whatever happens with "Fluffy" (that I will soon rename to something more appropriate because it is completely misleading), we have been given an opportunity to spiritually evolve. Unfortunately, many have been diverted because they have not had the necessary guidance, as there has been a need for high levels of discernment to sort out the vast selection of hoaxers that are harboured in the religious/spiritual/metaphysical community combined with lack of knowledge of the real meaning of esoteric/spiritual teachings. Whatever, I am actually quite excited after years of following my intuition and piecing together the science and metaphysics associated with Space Weather, and it is now much easier to see The Big Picture.

Orb-like UFO activity in same California region tracked over six months
UFO Examiner, 10th January 2010

A California witness is reporting a series of orb-like UFO activity over a ranch for the past six months, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

"They are definitely drawn to something here," the witness reports. The witness additionally reports, "They seem to come in waves, appearing for five to six nights in a row and then gone, they are always at different altitudes and headings. They generally have a steady course and heading, I have on occasion seen them dip and back track, both I caught on film."

Similar accounts of orb-like UFO traffic are coming in from all parts of the country where the same witnesses are reporting activity over long periods of time.

Comment: Slowly, slowly, UFO reporters are starting to change their language and tone. It is obvious that orbs & UAPs are nothing like the traditional idea of alien craft loved by many ufologists, but over the last decade or so, and especially with the increase in orb and UAP activity, it seems that the realisation that we are witnessing another lifeform is sinking in.

Hundreds strip in NYC for no-pants subway ride
Yahoo News, 10th January 2010

NEW YORK – Hundreds of New Yorkers have been riding the city's subway trains in their underwear. They stripped down to their undies on Sunday for the ninth annual No Pants Subway Ride. The idea is to act like nothing unusual is going on.

Participants met up at six locations throughout the city. They formed groups and dispersed to subway stations to catch trains. Once inside the subway cars, they began calmly removing their pants and folding them up. Most people read magazines or chatted with their companions like any other straphanger. The event started in 2002 with just seven people. It has spread to other cities. The stunt is organized by Improv Everywhere, a group that says its mission is to cause "scenes of chaos and joy in public places

Comment: LOL!! The chaos and joy revolution!

Evolutionary Surprise: Eight Percent of Human Genetic Material Comes from a Virus
Science Daily, 8th January 2010

About eight percent of human genetic material comes from a virus and not from our ancestors, according to researchers in Japan and the U.S.

The study, and an accompanying News & Views article by University of Texas at Arlington biology professor Cédric Feschotte, is published in the journal Nature.

The research showed that the genomes of humans and other mammals contain DNA derived from the insertion of bornaviruses, RNA viruses whose replication and transcription takes place in the nucleus. Feschotte wrote on recent research led by Professor Keizo Tomonaga at Osaka University in Japan. Feschotte said this virally transmitted DNA may be a cause of mutation and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and mood disorders.

In his article, Feschotte speculates about the role of such viral insertions in causing mutations with evolutionary and medical consequences.

Comment: This news suggests that human evolution is much more likely to be influenced or even driven by cosmic factors. We know for certain that viruses are manufactured in comet tails and despite the fact that this is not widely known outside of the science of astrobiology, the mediaeval Latin word influentia signified "influence of the stars". Today, it is proven that the dust in interstellar space and comets are largely organic and in some instances carries molecules which trigger viruses. Hence, scientists can predict when planetary conditions are more likely to be bring humans into contact with these viruses and thus they can predict the greater likelihood of epidemics..... Here, we are given detail about a certain type of virus, but the question of where viruses originate generally is left unanswered.

Fireball seen over Montreal
CBC News, 8th January 2010

A meteor crashing through the Earth’s atmosphere could be responsible for sightings of a fireball over Montreal Thursday night, astronomers said. Montrealer Humberto Dramasino witnessed the sight as he was driving home in the city's St-Laurent district around 7:30 p.m. "I saw a fireball just below the clouds," Dramasino said. "It was losing pieces in the air while it was flying and it was very, very fast." The spectacle lasted no more than a few seconds, Dramasino said.

Comment: Hmmmm.... I have beeh having some wild thoughts recently. I wonder if "Fluffy" is disturbing the theoretical Oort cloud that surrounds our solar system. At the moment, there is no "official" explanation for the increase in fireballs, but we know that "Fuffy", the 30 light year interstellar cloud that is coming our way from the direction of the galactic centre, is being kept tight with a bigger than expected magnetic field and I suppose a highly charged double layer. Well, whatever, we don't seem to be able to go a week without at least one report of a massive fireball.

Rare self-rolling giant snow balls found in UK
They may look like winter's answer to crop circles, but these mysterious snow rolls are in fact a rare natural phenomenon usually found only in the world's most remote and frozen regions. The Telegraph, 8th January 2010

Also known as snowrollers, snow bales and snow doughnuts, they form mostly in unusual conditions created by a precise combination of snow, ice, wind, temperature and moisture on the prairies of North America.

But this week's frozen weather has allowed the snow cylinders to make a freak appearance in the UK. [...] Liz Bentley, of the Royal Meteorological Society, said despite their rarity in the UK, there is a chance of more snow rolls appearing over the next few days.

A Life Interrupted: Remembering Kirby Brown
Baja Pulse, 3rd January 2010 (late, entry, will re-file later)

[...] News of Kirby’s death on October 8th in an Arizona sweat lodge while attending a seminar lead by self-help guru James Ray made international headlines and sent a shock wave through the Los Cabos community. This January 8, Kirby is finally coming home as her family and friends gather for a series of memorial events to celebrate her indomitable spirit and spread her ashes at one of her favorite surfing spots. For those who knew her, it is still hard to believe she's gone.

Kirby’s friends describe her as a free-spirited woman who wasn't inhibited by the social mores that governed the crowd. She was a seeker who pushed herself constantly toward personal growth. According to friends in San Jose, Kirby strove constantly to be a better artist, a kinder, more generous, and aware person; to live a fuller life. In her eulogy, her brother Bobby, describes her as a “free spirit, a woman of constant action, a force of energy, a truly passionate soul.”

Comment: If you have not read anything about James Ray and the Sweat lodge disaster, I recommend this article, but it's only an introduction and does not explain how normal healthy people can allow themselves to be duped and eventually lose their lives. Due to my own experiences with some people in the New Age community which seems to harbour light and dark and the dark is extremely dark, I have spent a lot of time recently educating myself on how most guru-types behave but I have been most interested in how they equip themselves with a vast array of mind control techniques. However, the most shocking fact is the complete lack of discernment by followers. What is evident, is that these gurus seem to perfect the art of talking complete and utter rubbish, (however, this is deliberately done to cause confusion) but they are praised by their followers for the gibberish! It seems apparent that people do not value being able to think, so on command, they abandon their thinking capabilities. At this point, for the few intelligent folk who may frequent this blog, will already appreciate the fact that if you look at nature, evolution is in the direction of greater complexity, not less. Our scientists have studied human development and it is clear from the evidence, that human evolution requires re-configuration or re-wiring of the brain for dealing with greater complexity, that is why Kundalini is so sort after by those who realise that we are here to evolve. People who have Near Death Experiences, come back more evolved because scientists tell us that there is a rush of electrical energy into the brain near death and the brain is re-wired. Yet, if people use other methods like yoga or meditation, (and despite my lack of strict practices, I have still managed to experience this state), being blissed out of your mind is NOT a sign of 'game over'.

Oklahoma witness reports ~~UFO~~ [UAP] coming out of 'worm hole'
The UFO Examiner, 7th January 2010

An Oklahoma witness reports an unusual appearance of what seemed to be a wormhole opening up and a light moving out of it, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The December 31 incident occurred as the witness was watching the rising full moon - but stated that "off to the right of the moon there appeared to be a darker place which was like a circular void. "

Within the void, a large "X" of light appeared. This light began to spin, then a "lit cloud tube extended" from that area. Then, "a tiny blip of light came out, which moved out a distance from the point of origin and then disappeared."

Comment: We have another arrival! This nice description, seems to be a variation on a theme of other UAP arrivals that have been caught on video. The 'X' is what you would see as you were facing head on and actually represents a plasma cloak or vehicle used for travel. This is dropped when the orb arrives low enough down in out atmosphere and videos show a hole appearing and out pops an orb! There are examples on the UAP Video index, see AP Caught On Outdoor Surveillance Camera in Russia May 2008 [02:27] & Spiral UAP coming out Wormhole or Hyperspace - Tomsk Russia May 2009 [02:44]. This is video footage of the world class 9th December 2009 Norwegian event, Norwegian Spiral 'Hole' Opens. If I was poetic, I would have penned a ditty in appreciation of the fact that I was able to see the Big Picture enough, not to be deceived by the 2012 Cosmic Fairy Tale folk. Our reality has changed forever in a rapidly escalating dimensional shift, there is another world appearing before our eyes and it's quite exciting to say the least!

The New Year's Eve Aerial Wave - Enfield Middlesex
UK UFO Sightings, 7th January 2010

Location of Sighting: Enfield Middlesex
Date of Sighting: New Years Eve 2009/2010, Time: 12.05
Witness Name: Mr & mrs Briggs

Witness Statement: Having looked at the new year firework display on the tv we always look outside to watch and listen to those going off outside and in our neighbourhood, we noticed a bright orange light heading form North to South a we stood on our back step, my husband even commented about the fact that it was a plane and not coming from where we would normally expect it (we live under the flight path into london so we are very familiar with aircraft and the directions that they come in). There was no sound and the light was much lower and very much bigger than you would expect to see on any aircraft.. We thought no more of it for a few minutes and continued to flit between the tv and the agrden, however we very soon noticed a whole line of these bright orange lights backed up as far as we could see and they were all headed from north to south. they were also spread out 3 and occasionally 4 across,. there was absolutely no sound and we could see nothing other than the light, it was a clear night and you can easily make out the shapes of aircraft as wel as hear them had they been so! They continued to fly past our house in waves for the next 45 minutes it may have been longer but to be honest it spooked the pair of us, we didn’t know what to think and watched the news to see if it had been reported at all. I think had it been one or the other of us alone we may have doubted ourselves but we both stood and watched this eerie sight and are both certain that these light whatever they were, were not planes helicopters balloons or lanterns. Some days later we are still bemused and slightly unnerved by what we saw, it was almost a relief to read other accounts so similar to our own ..i say almost because actually it has blown both of us away and made a pair of cynics question what we may have previously believed !!

Comment: After the UK UFO sightings website went down on New Years Eve and there is even a report of a mass sighting in other European countries on New Years's Eve too, see

Mass UFO sighting in France investigated and confirmed by police
It seems from the many reports posted so far that there was indeed some kind of mass wave of UAPs flying in for the New Year... but I would love to know WHY.....

Scientists reveal Milky Way's magnetic attraction
PhysOrg.com, 6th January 2010

An international research project involving the University of Adelaide has revealed that the magnetic field in the centre of the Milky Way is at least 10 times stronger than the rest of the Galaxy.

The evidence is significant because it gives astronomers a lower limit on the magnetic field, an important factor in calculating a whole range of astronomical data. [...]

“This research will challenge current thinking among astronomers,” Dr Crocker says. “For the last 30 years there has been considerable uncertainty of the exact value of the magnetic field in the centre of the Milky Way. The strength of this field enters into most calculations in astronomy, since almost all of space is magnetised,” he says.

Dr Jones says the findings will affect diverse fields, from star formation theory to cosmology. “If our Galactic centre’s magnetic field is stronger than we thought, this raises additional questions of how it got so strong when fields in the early universe are, in contrast, quite weak. We know now that more than 10% of the Galaxy’s magnetic energy is concentrated in less than 0.1% of its volume, right at its centre,” he says.

Comment: We have observations falsifying theory and particularly the theory associated with black holes which has been obviously wrong for a long time. Interestingly, now that I am aware of the role of magnetic fields and electric currents in the universe, it makes looking back at old spiritual books written by true masters even more fascinating....

2010 bug hits millions of Germans
Many in country unable to pay bills or get cash because of software problem in credit and debit cards
The Guardian, 6th January 2010

A 2010 software bug has left millions of German debit and credit card holders unable to withdraw money or make payments in shops, and thousands stranded on holiday with no access to cash.

About 30m chip and pin cards – a quarter of those in circulation in Germany – are thought to have been affected by the programming failure, which meant that microchips in cards could not recognise the year change to 2010.

A French card manufacturer, Gemalto, admitted today it was to blame for the failure, which it is estimated will cost €300m (£270m) to rectify. Gemalto, whose shares dropped by 2.6%, said it was attempting a software update, but might have to replace the cards. Gemalto-manufactured cards in other countries were not affected.

The fault has led to comparisons with the millennium bug, when experts predicted the transition from 1999 to 2000 might cause computers to be fooled into thinking it was 1900. As it was, the changeover happened without much incident.

Comment: So some got the millennium bug..... eventually!

Extreme balance artist pictured in handstand over precipice
Perched in a handstand atop a stack of chairs on the edge of a precipice, extreme artist Eskil Ronningsbakken's life hangs in the balance.
The Telegraph, 6th January 2010

Positioned on the edge of the Flydalsjuvet cliff in Geiranger, Norway, any mistake by the self-styled "educated balancing performer" could result in a 304 metre fall.

But the 30-year-old Norwegian, resplendent in a gold leotard and head brace, is no stranger to his unusual situation, having already completed the same feat last summer.

Comment: This guy is awesome! Yet, I don't think many realise why he is attempting to focus attention on BALANCE, despite the fact the world's electromagnetic environment is in complete chaos. Due to the dramatic increase of evolutionary energies being stored on this planet FACT, environmental signals that we use to balance our brains are now being boosted to multiples of their previous levels, FACT and people can become much more easily mentally unbalanced [unhinged] in these conditions, FACT.

France 'to criminalise shouting at your wife'
Married couples could be arrested and charged for insulting each other under a new law in France banning 'psychological violence'.
The Telegraph, 6th January 2010

The proposed legislation would punish partners who 'overstep the mark' during verbal spats in the home. The law would apply to husbands and wives, as well as cohabiting couples. It is expected to cover every kind of slur from repeated rude remarks about a partner's appearance, false allegations of infidelity and threats of physical violence. Mr Fillon said: "It's an important move forward as the creation of this offence will let us tackle the most insidious situations, the ones that leave no physical scars but which still injure the victims inside."

But some experts have called the law a gimmick that will be impossible to enforce, and that the government should not be interfere in non-violent domestic squabbles.

Comment: Well, you have to have experienced this kind of abuse to understand the damage, but I have no idea how this can be effectively applied in a society, but it will be interesting to watch. Maybe, France are serious about encouraging high Gross National Happiness.

The Magnetosphere Blast of the Week - 6th January 2010
YouTube, 6th January 2010

Comment: Real-time Magnetosphere Simulation movies are produced by Japanese scientists, using real-time solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data observed routinely by the ACE satellite. Since the planet is being blasted regularly now in accordance to predictions that the deliver of evolutionary energies will dramatically step up 100,000 times year on year between 2007 and 2012, these blasts have become more and more frequent and of course, a few folk have noticed! If you download the movie for the day, you will see we got hit twice, the most noticeable at 21:10:03 UT yet there was also a B5 solar flare at 19:50:00 UT, but it does not seem as if this last major blast was related to solar activity. The regular contortions of the Earth's magnetic field lines are quite incredible....

Pilot sees 30 meteors streaking across the sky - Yateley, Hampshire [UK]
UK UFO Sightings, 6th January 20109

Location of Sighting: Yateley, Hampshire UK
Date of Sighting: 31/12/2009 to 1/1/1010, Time: midnight til 1pm
Witness Name: David Pulman

Witness Statement: My wife, son and myself went outside to watch fireworks on New years eve, when I first sighted a yellow fireball streaking rapidly across the skiy from North to South. Although fireworks were going off everywhere, these were well above them and coming out of the sky not the ground. As it streaked overhead, on what was a chrystal clear full moonlit night, I told my son to look and said: “Look there is a meteor!”

I was amazed to see a meteor so clearly and as it passed you could see it beginnning to burn up in the atmosphere. Then to my amazement another appeared from the same direction shortly followed by a few more.

My son was terrified and indeed my wife was concerned as we witnessed at least 30 of the meteors streaking across the sky – pretty much in the same direction.. Some were appearing quite low in the sky at times and were clearly large fireballs which appered to start to fall before burning up as they entered the atmosphere. I am a pilot so can assure you they were not aircraft and were travelling at fantastic speed, way way above anything that an aircraft could travel at. I suspect they may have been the Geminid meteor shower.

Comment: Thirty [30] fireballs travelling across the sky at speed???? I prefer accounts by trained observers, so this account by a pilot is of more interest and especially because the observation is different to the now ubiquitous 'planes on fire' in the sky. This is a quote from Dr. David Clarke's book, The UFO Files: the Inside Story of Real-Life Sightings, gleaned mostly from studying the recently released Ministry of Defence [MOD] UFO files, now held at the UK National Archives. However, we now have information from many different independent sources,so it seems that the Big Picture overview indicates that some realised many decades ago that most UFOs were infact natural phenomena. This is the only way to explain the smug nature of government officials. So we read in Clarke's book, The UFO Files, the following from Chapter 4: Close Encounters, in the section "UFOs in the House of Lords", information about the preparations for a debate in the House of Lords on UFOs. So we find:

"Steven's [Head of UFO Desk, MOD] research revealed that there had never been any British 'scientific study of UFOs' and he had to rely upon the combined expertise of military and scientific advisors during his preparations for the debate. One of the most revealing briefings came from Group Captain Neil Colvin, a senior officer overseeing the RAF's air defences. He told Stevens : 'Of the [UFO] reports reviewed to date we can find no evidence of extraterrestrial visitation to either earth, its atmosphere or near space,' but he was reluctant to dismiss the entire phenomena as nonsense. 'The almost total lack of primary radar observations of unnatural phenomena leads us to be sceptical of Lord Clancarty's claims ,' Colvin wrote, 'although we would not wish to state categorically that "UFOs" do not exist.'

According to the history of government UFO investigations by Dr David Clark who wrote a highlights briefings guide to cover the UK government UFO files made available to the public in August 2009, we find the following curious statement, this is also summarised and repeated in his book:

"The last time the Government made a full public statement on its policy was in January 1979 when UFOs were the subject of a lengthy debate in the House of Lords. This was initiated by Lord Clancarty (Brinsley le Poer Trench), the author of several books on UFOs and related subjects. Clancarty believed the MoD had evidence that UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin and was convinced they were concealing 'the truth' from the public. In the summer of 1978 he tabled a motion that called on the Government to set up an inquiry and for the Defence Minister to make a televised statement on UFOs. In the Lords, the Government's response was delivered by a retired Royal Navy officer and Labour peer, Lord Strabolgi (David Kenworthy). His closing remarks were: '…as for telling the public the truth about UFOs, the truth is simple. There really are many strange phenomena in the sky, and these are invariably reported by rational people. But there is a wide range of natural explanations to account for such phenomena. There is nothing to suggest to Her Majesty's Government that such phenomena are alien spacecraft.' ( AIR 20/12966).

Yes, if you look at the evidence, even available from Her Majesty's own Ministry of Defence, there is another lifeform on this planet that has always been been detectable, even if that meant it was just shamans using ESP.

SNOW CHAOS: AND THEY STILL CLAIM IT'S GLOBAL WARMING
The Express, 6th January 2010

AS one of the worst winters in 100 years grips the country, climate experts are still trying to claim the world is growing warmer.

With millions of Britons battling through snow and ice to get to work today, scientists claim that the cold conditions should not be used as evidence against man-made climate change.

Blizzards, ice and sub-zero temperatures that have gripped the UK for almost a month in a record deep freeze are not “robust” indicators of global weather patterns, they say.

Comment: There can't be many true AGW believers left, but the die-hards are still fighting, despite Climategate and other evidence to the contrary. After living in Norway and now in Switzerland, where by law you have to have snow tyres on your car before the onset of winter, I would say it is very dangerous driving in such bad conditions. The worst nightmare journey of my life was driving over a mountain in Norway in blizzard conditions, where it was so dangerous, that the police stopped the traffic and made people drive in single file. However that meant stop/starting on solid ice, so even with snow tyres on, it was a terrifying experience. The UK is not a country that is organised to cope with more than a sprinkle of snow, nevermind these kind of conditions and people have no experience of driving on snow and ice.

An Unusual Cloud Over Uruguay
Astronomy Picture of the Day
APOD NASA, 5th January 2010

What kind of cloud is this? A roll cloud. These rare long clouds may form near advancing cold fronts. In particular, a downdraft from an advancing storm front can cause moist warm air to rise, cool below its dew point, and so form a cloud. When this happens uniformly along an extended front, a roll cloud may form. Roll clouds may actually have air circulating along the long horizontal axis of the cloud. A roll cloud is not thought to be able to morph into a tornado. Unlike a similar shelf cloud, a roll cloud, a type of Arcus cloud, is completely detached from their parent cumulonimbus cloud. Pictured above, a roll cloud extends far into the distance in 2009 January above Las Olas Beach in Maldonado, Uruguay.

Comment: It's spectacular but the explanation given here is very tenuous. Note the 'normal' clouds above.... As far as I am concerned, this is a magnetic field line made up of spinning charged particles that has ionised the air and created the "roll". This is not a rare event, as a few parts of the world experience roll clouds regularly like clock work, but it's more evidence that we are experiencing strange atmospheric conditions.

Police visit grandad to see his 40-second tape of ‘flaming UFO’ flight
WalesOnLine, 5th January 2010

A GRANDFATHER rushed to grab his video camera after seeing what he thought was a UFO racing through the skies above Pontyclun. [...]

He said: “I looked up to the sky and couldn’t believe my eyes. “It was about 5.50pm so it was fairly dark, and I saw this big ball of fire moving quite quickly and silently. “I called Mary to have a look and then grabbed my video camera.” But as the couple had just returned from a holiday in Belgium, there was only 40 seconds left on the tape to capture any film. “First of all, we thought it was a plane on fire,” said Mr Howells, a retired manager at an upholstery firm. [...]

“But as there were flames coming out of the side and back, Mary and I panicked and thought the plane was in trouble.” So he phoned Cardiff International Airport to ask whether there had been any emergencies in the area. The security department had not had any reports, but told him to try South Wales Police and ask them. A local police officer visited Mr Howells to see the footage, and got in touch with RAF Kinloss in Scotland, which tracks all objects in the sky. They identified it as a meteor.

Comment: Fire chi! Another plane on fire in the sky....So, the UK MOD close down the UFO desk, but this witness gets a police visit, this is just getting bizarre..... Well, every now and then I shake my head as I think of the email I received from a friend who said that nothing would happen in 2012, big sigh.... the need for spiritual education is acute. This is a Russian perspective, from the groundbreaking report, PLANETOPHYSICAL STATE OF THE EARTH AND LIFE By DR. ALEXEY N. DMITRIEV [1997, English 1998]

It is reasonable to point out that our Planet will soon be experiencing these new conditions of growing energy signifying the transition into a new state and quality of Space-Earth relationship. The living organisms of those regions of Earth having the major “inlets”, or attractions, for cosmic influences will be taking the lead in evolving life’s appropriate reactions, or processes, to these new conditions.
[...]
The most significant of these areas are the helio-sensitive zones which have intense responses to geoeffective solar activities responses that include the very dramatic and unusual manifestation of non-homogeneous vacuum, or classical non-mechanical ether, domain structures. These structures, or objects, then interact with the heliosensitive zones producing deep and powerful effects upon the environment such as the alteration of seismic activities, and chemical compositions. Because these non-homogeneous vacuum domain objects display not-of-this-physical-world characteristics such as “liquid light” and “non-Newtonian movement” it is difficult not to describe their manifestations as being “interworld processes”. It is important to note that those heliosensitive zones that exhibit middle and large scale processes are also those that are closely associated with these “interworld processes” produced by physical vacuum homogeneity disturbances.

Such disturbances cause, and create, energy and matter transfer processes between the ether media and our three-dimensional world. The multitude of such phenomena, which is rich in it’s quality and variety, is already growing quickly. Hundreds of thousands of these natural self-luminous formations are exerting a increasing influence upon Earth’s geophysic fields and biosphere. We suggest that the presence of these formations is the mainstream precedent to the transformation of Earth; an Earth which becomes more and more subject to the transitional physical processes which exist within the borderland between the physical vacuum and our material world.

All of this places humanity, and each one of us, squarely in front of a very difficult and topical problem; the creation of a revolutionary advancement in knowledge which will require a transformation of our thinking and being equal to this never-before-seen phenomena now presencing itself in our world. There is no other path to the future than a profound internal experiential perception and knowledge of the events now underway in the natural environment that surrounds us. It is only through this understanding that humanity will achieve balance with the renewing flow of the PlanetoPhysical States and Processes.
End Paper source

I had not come across one researcher from the metaphysical community that made the link between the Russian Vacuum Domains and UAPs and the connection to metaphysical messages concerning the changing of the Earth's grid, before I wrote my book, even though the contractor for the British MOD did make the link between UAPs & VDs. The Russians realise there is a tremendous need for education and new thinking, but after 11 years of the existence of this report, I see no evidence, that anyone thinks the existence of a different lifeform on this planet is of any great interest, as the obvious becomes more obvious everyday. When I wrote my book, I was really grateful for the Russians and I am still grateful that there are at least a few advanced thinkers on the planet. Unfortunately, I don't personally know any, yet....

Lord Monckton calls out Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
Climategate News, 5th January 2010

The Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd, shortly before Copenhagen, gave a speech (Part I video above, Part II here) where he said the “Denialists”, “Climate Change Deniers”, and “Skeptics” were entirely funded by special interests, and are now so dangerous that they’re putting our the planet, and our kids’ future in jeopardy. Rudd has a particular dislike for Lord Christopher Monckton. In fact, he derided Monckton six times by name in that speech.

Lord Monckton has penned a reply to the Prime Minister, and you can read it at the Science and Public Policy Institute website.

Comment: Lord Monckton will go down in history for his part in doing enough to wake people up to the fact that the Copenhagen Treaty was proposing a world government. Apparently, this was supposed to be have been run by the UN, but I have my doubts, as they could not even organise the Copenhagen conference properly as they registered 40,000 delegates for a conference centre that could only hold 15,000 people. For any who are not sure what this means, I would describe that as complete incompetence.

Q: What's the difference between 'weather' and 'climate'?
Telegraph Blog Delingpole, 5th January 2010

A: Climate is when it’s warming and weather is when it’s not.

Thanks, Beachmaster, over at Watts Up With That for explaining the difference. Otherwise, we scientific ignoramuses might have gone on asking silly, awkward questions like: “How come, when I went to urinate on my compost heap just now – as per official Government planet-saving, AGW-avoiding, eco-regulations – my willy turned black and dropped off?” and “Why in the name of Beelzebub and his hellish spawn has the man in charge of the ineffably useless Met Office just been given a 25 per cent pay rise?”

Spain's 8 Canary Islands airports suffer flight disruptions, delays after mystery power cut
Canoe, 5th January 2010

MADRID, Spain - Spain's national airport authority AENA says the Canary Islands' eight airports have suffered delays after an unexplained power failure at a regional control centre.

AENA says power failed between 1030 GMT and 1055 GMT Sunday and grounded 43 flights at six of the resort islands' airports.

Approaching aircraft were able to land, but planes departures were disrupted, causing delays at all of the archipelago's eight airports. A number of flights from Latin America were affected.

Stephen Hawking: "The Human Species Has Entered a New Stage of Evolution" - The Daily Galaxy Top Story of 2009
Daily Galaxy, 5th January 2010

Although It has taken homo sapiens several million years to evolve from the apes, the useful information in our DNA, has probably changed by only a few million bits. So the rate of biological evolution in humans, Stephen Hawking points out in his Life in the Universe lecture, is about a bit a year.

"By contrast," Hawking says, "there are about 50,000 new books published in the English language each year, containing of the order of a hundred billion bits of information. Of course, the great majority of this information is garbage, and no use to any form of life. But, even so, the rate at which useful information can be added is millions, if not billions, higher than with DNA."

This means Hawking says that we have entered a new phase of evolution.

Comment: Now isn't this interesting, that this article was made the top story of 2009! The argument being here is similar to that being made by others in the metaphysical community, but I think the story is not complete. We have got to the hundredth monkey phase or critical mass where those who have reached a certain level then work to upgrade the rest of humanity. This is being done through information and I would say that also represents energy levels ie upgrading the morphogenetic field for humanity. We don't have to keep repeating the mistakes of the past and we can share our knowledge which is for the benefit of the whole human race. Those who are hiding information are the Neanderthals and they will be bypassed as part of the evolutionary process.

Fruits of the sea: Startling strawberry crab discovered off Taiwan
Daily Mail, 5th January 2010

A marine biologist has discovered a startling new crab species that resembles a large strawberry. The unusual crustacean was found off the coast of southern Taiwan. It has a dramatic bright red shell covered with small white bumps.

Professor Ho Ping-ho from the National Taiwan Ocean University said the crab resembles a species called Neoliomera Pubescens, that lives in the areas around Hawaii, Polynesia and Mauritius. However it has a clam-shaped shell about 1 inch wide, which makes it distinct. Crabs are omnivores feeding primarily on algae. There are more than 5,000 known species in the world.

Comment: Wow! Well, we know for sure that nature is not boring!

Arctic freeze and snow wreak havoc across the planet
Times Online, 5th January 2010

Arctic air and record snow falls gripped the northern hemisphere yesterday, inflicting hardship and havoc from China, across Russia to Western Europe and over the US plains.

There were few precedents for the global sweep of extreme cold and ice that killed dozens in India, paralysed life in Beijing and threatened the Florida orange crop. Chicagoans sheltered from a potentially killer freeze, Paris endured sunny Siberian cold, Italy dug itself out of snowdrifts and Poland counted at least 13 deaths in record low temperatures of about minus 25C (-13F).

The heaviest snow yesterday hit northeastern Asia, which is suffering its worst winter weather for 60 years. More than 25 centimetres (10in) of snow covered Seoul, the South Korean capital — the heaviest fall since records began in 1937.

Comment: A good round up of the world's 'Global Warming', according to some.....

NASA's new planet-hunting telescope finds two new mystery objects, unlike stars or planets
Star Tribune, 4th January 2010

WASHINGTON - NASA's new planet-hunting telescope has found two mystery objects that are too hot to be planets and too small to be stars.

The Kepler Telescope, launched in March, discovered the two new heavenly bodies, each circling its own star. Telescope chief scientist Bill Borucki of NASA said the objects are thousands of degrees hotter than the stars they circle. That means they probably aren't planets. They are bigger and hotter than planets in our solar system, including dwarf planets.

"The universe keeps making strange things stranger than we can think of in our imagination," said Jon Morse, head of astrophysics for NASA. [...] The universe really is a weird place. It's fantastic."

Comment: LOL!! The universe is far more complex and diverse than humans can imagine, and this will become very apparent, as the veil continues to lift. What's more, there willl be a realisation that official government UFO statements that have all referred to the non-existence of "unnatural" phenomena have been telling people the truth, but not the whole truth.....

Explosive Nearby Star Could Threaten Earth
Space.com, 4th January 2010

A massive, eruptive white dwarf star in the Milky Way — long overdue for its next periodic eruption — is closer to our solar system than previously thought and could threaten the Earth if it fully explodes millions of years from now.

New observations of the white dwarf and its sun-like stellar companion are giving scientists a better understanding of the star's precarious position as a possible supernova, astronomers said here today at the 215th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

The two stars are in a close binary system called T Pyxidis, located in the Southern Hemisphere constellation Pyxis ("The Compass Box"). Researchers found that the system is only 3,260 light-years from our solar system – far closer than anyone previously thought. (A light-year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year, or about 6 trillion miles.)

The new findings suggest the white dwarf, considered close to us by cosmic standards, could eventually go supernova. Gamma radiation emitted by the supernova could threaten the Earth with an energy equivalent to 1,000 simultaneous solar flares.

Comment: The reason for pointing out this article is because it is becoming increasing obvious to me that astronomers cannot properly measure distances in space and I have been appalled at one example where scientists talked about interstellar cloud that would arrive in 10,000 years, but only after 30 years is now on our doorstep.....

EEG Expert Can’t Explain Near Death Experience Data… and, Dr. Penny Sartori Finds More Than Hallucinations in NDE Accounts
Skeptico, 4th January 2010

For near death experience skeptics, medical evidence of a flat EEG during an out of body experience has always been a stumbling block. After all, a brain dead patient can’t hallucinate. But, does a flat EEG really mean no brain activity? NDE doubters have claimed activity deep inside the brain, beyond the reach of EEG instruments, must account for the complex “realer than real” experiences reported by those who briefly pass into the afterlife. Now, University of Toledo Neuroscience researcher, and EEG expert, Dr. John Greenfield explains why this claim doesn’t hold up. [...]

The timing of NDE memories is the research question Dr. Penny Sartori sought to answer, “I worked in the intensive care unit and because of the nature of my job, of course, I’d come across a lot of death. And of course makes you wonder what happens when we die. For five years I gathered data, where I spoke to patients in the intensive care unit and particularly patients who’d had a cardiac arrest. When these patients revived, as soon as they were medically fit, I approached them and asked the simple question, ‘Did you have any memory of the time that you were unconscious?’”

“For the people who had a near-death experience and out of body experience [their recollection of resuscitation] was really quite accurate and I decided then to ask the control group, the people who’d had a cardiac arrest but had no recollection of anything at all. I asked them if they would reenact their resuscitation scenario and tell me what they thought that we had done to resuscitate them. And what I found is that many of the patients couldn’t even guess as to what we’d done. They had no idea at all.

Comment: Interesting research.....

Witnesses: Horseshoe shaped objects pass over my house
UK UFO Sightings, 3rd January 2010

Location of Sighting: Worcester Park, Surrey, Date of Sighting: 1st January 2009
Time: 12.02 a.m.m, Witness Name: Dawn Holton

Witness Statement: Dragged my mum outside to watch the New Years Eve fireworks. Could not believe what we saw. An object, not a firework, not a lantern, travelling too low for a plane and silently. Bright white/red, kind of horseshoe shaped. It was travelling in a firm direction which was not random so it was not a lantern. As it passed over our house in a Southerly direction more and more followed, like a wave of slow moving silent objects or craft, one after the other all following each other like a wave coming from different angles over the rooftops in our road. These were not hovering or floating objects, these were moving with intention and uniformly Around 20 or more in all, with lights glowing. This went on for a good while, whilst fireworks were going off but these were not fireworks – what were they? Did anyone else see them?

The last and clearest one came over our roof, lower than the others and had a red glow behind it. It was vivid and clear and inexplicable. As they moved into the distance one of them stopped, another stopped next to it before they continued on their way, uniformly. We watched in awe and fascination. Two or three of them reappeared in the distance and just remained static for several minutes before moving off again in the same direction as the others. No sound at any time. What is the explanation.? I tried to phone the BBC but they did not have a number to press for UFO sightings on their pre-recorded messages! It was very frustrating because myself and my family believe this was a significant UFO sighting of some magnitude and meaning. Who is out there monitoring this and what are their comments. What is happening?

Comment: Difficult to know what to say... I wrote to the UK UFO website owners and they seemed to have ignored my suggestion that they should inform people of the existence of the Condign report about UAPs and the opinion of the UK MOD. Therefore, it looks like there are still too many people who would prefer to stick their head in the sand and pretend that this is not happening. However, that cannot go on forever, because the dimensional shift is scheduled to go on for another three years and at the end of this period, it will be the birth of our new Earth reality. As I have already said, it will be like living in a cosmic acquarium, it won't be something that people can ignore....

"The tilting of the earth changes everything"
ISUMA News, January 2010

Arguably, the most bizarre, fascinating and perhaps groundbreaking of all observations we've heard from Inuit is that they believe our world has tilted on its axis and this contributes to climate change.

When Zacharias and I first heard this, we thought it was very strange, yet elders in all the communities we've worked in - Pangnirtung, Iqaluit, Resolute Bay and Igloolik - all believe this phenomenon to be true. In today's blog, we post a video from Igloolik elder Japiti Palluq talking about the impacts of a tilted earth, and unpack the traditional knowledge and science on this issue.

It's been very interesting to see elders and hunters across Nunavut make the same observation about the world having shifted on its axis. In most cases, research participants were not prompted on the issue, yet they began talking about it. Just today, we heard from another interviewee that "the earth has tilted", and Zach looked and me and jokingly said "did you tell him?". As a trained scientist, I know that a key test for "truth" is the repeated replicability of a research finding, independent of who is doing the test. Hearing Inuit across Nunavut make the same observation, using their traditional ecological knowledge, seems to pass this credo for scientific truth. So what data are elders collecting and analyzing to draw this conclusion?

Comment: Major news if this is true because this will have a major impact on the climate but if there has been a sudden shift, then we have to ask what and when did something happen to make the Earth wobble more on it's axis. I am sure there will be more articles on this matter, so I will post updates. At the moment, let's say "who knew".... if NASA et al. had noticed they were acting in character and keeping quiet as usual for months or even years and then sneaking out a press release when they think few will notice, but our indigenous friends are always aware of what is happening with our planet. At the moment, I am thinking this might screw up lots of 2012 calculations, so at the moment this is just an idea.....Very interesting, so stay tuned!

Note: If this pole shift, caused by the movement of the Earth's spin axis relative to fixed stars, turns out to be true, then its going to leave the 2012 doom and gloom brigade with their pole shift that will cause global devastation with some embarrassment.... again, some serious action before 2012... incredible!

Update
A proposal has been made by scientists who wish to dispel the concept that there has been a shift of the Earth's pole that is attributed to the slow 'bob' or 'nodding' that is formally known as 'nutation', see wikipedia, for more details. So the Inuit's observations are being explained away as global warming in the atmosphere that has "altered the visual landscape of the Arctic, which has caused the sun, moon and stars to appear out of position in the sky. An optical tilt of the earth caused by refraction rather than a physical one!" See, Qapiragajuq: An Update on "Tilting of the Earth". This does not seem to match satellite data as we find: "Satellite measurements indicate an absence of significant global warming since 1979, the very period that human carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing rapidly. The satellite data signal not only the absence of substantial human-induced warming but also provide an empirical test of the greenhouse hypothesis - a test that the hypothesis fails (source: Bob Carter) Satellite show little to no warming in the troposphere.

It has a gigantic supercomputer, 1,500 staff and a £170m-a-year budget. So why does the Met Office get it so wrong?
Daily Mail, 3rd January 2010

Its supercomputer makes 1,000 billion calculations a second - then tells us to expect a mild winter. But what would you expect from a 'scientific' organisation that for 20 years has been dominated by climate change zealots, and whose current chairman is the former boss of the World Wildlife Fund?

'Cold of a variety not seen in over 25 years in a large scale is about to engulf the major energy-consuming areas of the northern hemisphere. The first 15 days of the opening of the New Year will be the coldest, population weighted, north of 30 [degrees] north worldwide in over 25 years.'

That is the chilling (quite literally) verdict of Joe Bastardi, a weather forecaster on the American TV channel AccuWeather.

Comment: Briefly, the Met Office like all the others around the world do not understand how the weather works. All they can do is look at all the factors that they can identify and then try to apply that to what they think might happen in the fiuture, hence the need for a BIG supercomputer to do the number crunching. Now, our planet is being hammered by exotic energies from deep space and most of our climate scientists, never mind the lowly meteorologists, are in the paradigm of a "closed" system and do not even think of the possibility that we can be effected by cosmic forces in an "open" system, despite the increasing evidence like cloud formation being controlled by galactic cosmic rays and even tree ring growth, etc.... Btw, the climate skeptics are really enjoying this.... It's not all bad, see Pictured: The amazing wall of ice that makes Britain look more like Narnia

UK UFO a few stats for 2009
UK UFO Sightings, 3rd January 2010

[...]In the past 12 months over 3,300 sighting reports have been received from the UK public and over 6400 comments have been approved which has surpassed all the original expectations for the site.

At any one time there is always a backlog of reports to be reviewed and posted. At the moment this stands at 740 (includes 460 to be posted under an “Orange Sightings Volume” as a high probability Chinese Lantern event.)

Comment: We now know why this website crashed, it seems that the UK has been orbed under and there is now a backlog of 740 reports of which they say 460 will be posted as "probable" Chinese Lanterns events. Of course the cynical will say they are ALL Chinese Lanterns and it's New Year, but that assumes the British are all stupid and that we can ignore all the other details like erratic movements and swarm behaviour in these sightings. Let's also not forget the reports of UAPs that swooped down just to make sure folks get a good look.... Well, my New Year prediction is that as we are now well into a dimensional shift, with magnetars still blasting away and evolving spacetime, sightings are only going to increase. I also expect that we will experience more high energy plasma manifestations in the sky, which those who know nothing about atmospheric plasma will of course call UFOs.

Stephen Hawking: "Why Isn't the Milky Way Crawling With Mechanical or Biological Life?" (A New Year's Weekend Classic)
Daily Galaxy, 2nd January 2010

In his famous lecture on Life in the Universe, Stephen Hawking asks: "What are the chances that we will encounter some alien form of life, as we explore the galaxy?"

If the argument about the time scale for the appearance of life on Earth is correct, Hawking says "there ought to be many other stars, whose planets have life on them. Some of these stellar systems could have formed 5 billion years before the Earth. So why is the galaxy not crawling with self-designing mechanical or biological life forms?" [...]

Hawkling prefers another possibility: that there are other forms of intelligent life out there, but that we have been overlooked.

Comment: Sometimes it's really hard to take these 'scientists' seriously. It is quite obvious that the whole Universe is crawling with interdimensional life and this is quite easy to prove if you study what is known about plasma, which at 99.999%, permeates the known Universe. Astronomers and astrobiologists have been thinking about this for decades, here is a quote from the book Are Flying Saucers Real [1950] by Major Donald Keyhole:

One of the prominent authorities is Dr. H. Spencer Jones, Astronomer Royal. In his book Life on Other Worlds, Dr. Jones points out that everything about us is the result of changing processes, begun millenniums ago and still going on. We cannot define life solely in our own terms; it can exist in unfamiliar forms.

"It is conceivable," Dr. Jones states in his book, "that we could have beings, the cells of whose bodies contained silicon instead of the carbon which is an essential constituent of our cells and of all other living cells on the earth. And that because of this essential difference between the constitution of those cells and the cells of which animal and plant life on the earth are built up, they might be able to exist at temperatures so high that no terrestrial types of life could survive." source

From this book, Life on Other Worlds, that can be found archived online, Chapter II - The Conditions For The Existence Of Life we find the following:

A special role is played in living organisms by carbon, because it possesses to a far greater extent than any other element the power of uniting with itself, as well as with other elements, to build up single molecules containing very large numbers of atoms. It is these complex molecules containing carbon that form the basis of the structure of all living organisms. The only other element that possesses the power of building up complex mole- cules to any great degree is silicon, but the com- pound molecules which have carbon as a basis are far more numerous and complex than those which have silicon as a basis. pg 27 source

This book does not discuss plasma, the primordial energy of the universe, the basic building blocks of life, so the discussion of silicon based life and carbon based life is not a reflection of what we should expect from a universe dominated by plasma. Scientists have already proved in the laboratory experiments that plasma cells can grow, replicate and communicate - fulfilling most of the traditional requirements for biological cells. In 2003, physicists Erzilia Lozneanu and Mircea Sanduloviciu of Cuza University, Romania, described in their research paper Minimal Cell System created in Laboratory by Self-Organization (published in Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, volume 18, page 335), how they created plasma spheres and they concluded that these plasma spheres offer a radically new explanation of how life began. They proposed that these plasma spheres were precursors to biological evolution, but they are not the first to make these claims.

Police officers sue force over 'radio injuries' Police officers are preparing to sue their own force over a series of illnesses they claim were caused by the radio system they use while out on patrol
The Telegraph, 1sth January 2010

The Lancashire Constabulary was the first in Britain to try out the Airwave network, designed specifically to hive longer range and more capcaity to the emergency services and the military.

Nine years after its introduction scores of officers are claiming that radiation emissions from the system have caused them to suffer such ailments as nausea, headaches, stomach pains and skin rashes.

The local branch of the Police Federation has logged 176 individual complaints, and now senior officials at the police authority are seeking legal advice on how to deal with them

Comment: In July 2005, I wrote the article The EMF Flood which partly focuses on The Terrestrial Trunk Radio (TETRA) for the new United Kingdom police communications network. It was the result of my early research into electromagnetism, before I decided to focus on Space Weather. At that time, there were campaigns in place from people who were suffering from being too close to the transmitters and there were policemen on patrol, who had been early recipients, that had already started to die of cancer, see article. Dr Mireille Levy, the Home Office health and safety officer for the system is reported to have said in response to complaints:

'Nothing will stop Tetra and if officers don't like it, they can resign.'

There are links associated with this article which will provide useful additional insights. The "Confidential Report on TETRA" by physicist B. Trower, written for the police force, is especially enlightening as he clearly provides us with the science of cell electromagnetism and how external radio EM signals can disrupt normal cell processing.

Vatican reveals Secret Archives
A 13th-century letter from Genghis Khan’s grandson demanding homage from the pope is among a collection of documents from the Vatican’s Secret Archives that has been published for the first time.
The Telegraph, 1st January 2010

The Holy See’s archives contain scrolls, parchments and leather-bound volumes with correspondence dating back more than 1,000 years.

High-quality reproductions of 105 documents, 19 of which have never been seen before in public, have now been published in a book. The Vatican Secret Archives features a papal letter to Hitler, an entreaty to Rome written on birch bark by a tribe of North American Indians, and a plea from Mary Queen of Scots. The book documents the Roman Catholic Church’s often hostile dealings with the world of science and the arts, including documents from the heresy trial against Galileo and correspondence exchanged with Erasmus, Voltaire and Mozart. It also reveals the Church’s relations with princes and potentates in countries far beyond its dominion.

Comment: Hmm... Scholars have had access since 1881 but Joe Public can only get a look at a selection in 2010.....

Apologies for being off line-problem now resolved.
UK UFO Sightings, 1st January 2010

Since apologies to everyone who tried to access the site from late last night only to find it was down and many thanks to the many people who emailed in to tell us of the problem.

Unfortunately the sheer volume of traffic caused a severe overload on the server causing our hosting company to take us off line to prevent their server from crashing.

Comment: I think it is worth noting that this website that only exists to report UFO Sightings mainly over the UK, is being so overloaded that it actually crashed. Now what does that tell you? Personally, I have been thinking very hard for a long time now as to what will happen when the general public realise that our reality has changed forever. I believe that there are going to be a lot of people whose credibility as authorities and leaders will go up in smoke. Btw, there has been some real action over the UK in the last week or so and I am only logging a very small number of interest to me but here are a few more accounts of UAP activity.

Boxing Day: We saw what we thought was an aeroplane on fire as there was a huge orange glow in the sky - Edinburgh, Scotland [UK]
fire chi! Witness says: "orange flames and bits dropping off the underside", witness ready to call police until the object started doing impossible maneuvers.

Bright light similar to a welders torch in brightness - Jersey
fire chi! "Witness Statement: 2 witness to a fast moving bright light object travelling from west to east over norht coast of Jersey. The weather was cloudy with very low cloud. The bright light was similar to a welders torch brightness and was below the cloud level which was approx 2000 feet max."

Witness sees electric-red globe-shaped light moving across the sky - S. London [UK]
fire chi! "Saw a bright red globe-shaped light moving across the sky. The light went on and then off in a precisely calibrated fashion moving forwards all the time, maybe one second on and one second off but not like the strobe flashes always seen on aeroplanes. I am often looking up and paying attention to what I see but I have never seen something electric red like this and I didn't hear any sound associated with it."
