Update March 21, 2012 – After All Night Vigil, More Booms Resumed
At 5 AM This Morning. Further report upcoming.
A meeting about the mysterious booms is scheduled tonight
at the Clintonville, Wisconsin high school.
March 20, 2012 – Two Nights of Mysterious Rattling Booms
in Clintonville, Wisconsin. Click for report.
“We have checked gas lines, sewers, water pressures
and consulted with meteorologists, seismologists, U. S. military,
utilities experts and mining companies, but have come up empty-handed.”
- Lisa Kuss, City Administrator, Clintonville, WI
Clintonville, Wisconsin, is a small town of about 4,600 residents 180 miles north of Madison
and west of Lake Michigan. Beginning around 9:30 PM Central on Sunday evening, March 18,
people in northeastern Clintonville reported loud sounds that shook their homes and were
compared to clanging metal and thunder. Monday evening, March 19, Clintonville
police, fire, emergency and utility crews checked manholes for gas leaks and
gas and water lines for leaks, but nothing abnormal was found. Then the strange,
loud sounds started again after midnight until morning on Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
March 20, 2012 – 7.4 Quake in Mexico.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck near Igualapa Centro (red bullseye)
in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, region between Acapulco and Oaxaca at midday
Tuesday, March 20, 2012. The epicenter near Igualapa was about 92 miles
west of Oaxaca and about 120 miles east of Acapulco. The epicenter
was some 11 miles deep. No tsunami threat. Image from Google map.
March 18, 2012 – NSA Is Building America’s Largest Spy Center.
“The former NSA official held his thumb and forefinger

On March 15, 2012, Wired.com published “The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say” by author and former Navy Intelligence analyst James Bamford. Bamford writes: “… for the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration — the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the U.S. and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it’s all being done in secret.” For whole Bamford article and illustrations, please see 031512 Wired.com.

March 14, 2012 – Santorini Volcano Deforming
At Levels Never Seen Before.
“That could be dangerous. If the caldera erupts underwater,
it could cause local tsunamis and affect boat traffic,
including cruise ships, in the caldera. Earthquakes could damage
homes and produce landslides along the cliffs.”

Georgia Tech’s Andrew Newman, Ph.D., who has been studying the volcanic island of Santorini with 20 GPS stations reports that the caldera is rapidly deforming at levels never seen before. Since January 2011, the caldera chamber has expanded with enough magma to fill a 900-foot-diameter sphere. 50,000 summer tourists a day visit the island where one of the largest volcanic events in human history occurred around 1,650 B. C., burying the port city of Akrotiri with more than 20 meters of ash and created the famous Santorini cliffs. The last Santorini eruption was in 1950. See: Georgia Tech.
March 14, 2012 – Sunspot 1429′s Most Powerful Flares
and CMEs of Solar Cycle 24.
Also see video: Another eerie sun phenomenon on 3/11.
Sunspot 1429 was captured in great detail in the Sun’s chromosphere on
March 11, 2012, by isolating a color of light emitted primarily by hydrogen.
NASA: “The resulting image is shown in inverted false color with dark regions
being the brightest and hottest. Giant magnetically-channeled tubes of hot gas,
some longer than the Earth, are known as spicules and can be seen carpeting
the chromosphere. As solar maximum nears in the 2013 summer, the
Sun’s increasingly wound and twisted magnetic field could produce even
more furious spots.” Image © 2012 by Alan Friedman, Averted Imagination.

March 11, 2012 – First Anniversary of 3/11 Fukushima Disaster.
On the 1st anniversary of the Japanese quake and tsunami catastrophe, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thinks more people beyond the 70,000 evacuated so far need to be removed beyond the 12-mile-dead-zone around the TEPCO nuclear power plants because radioactive contamination beyond the dead zone exceeds safe levels. The IAEA recently warned that the “average level of caesium-137 is double its operational criteria for evacuation – 1 MBq/m2 of caesium-137.” But to date, the Japanese government has not agreed to widen the evacuation zone. High radiation levels in the dead zone are reportedly preventing workers from recovering bodies left by the tsunami of March 11, 2011.

will eat roots and kill crop. Image by Nature News.
Monsanto’s genetically modified corn rootworm crop is supposed to reduce the need to put insecticides into the soil because Monsanto’s goal was to make corn plants toxic to the worms that try to feed on corn roots. But in a March 5, 2012, letter from 22 corn experts addressed to the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, the academic scientists report their studies show that the genetic modification by Monsanto of the “transgenic Bt corn rootworm corn” genetically infused with the toxin Cry3Bbl to kill rootworm has produced GMO corn that is losing its resistance to the insects.

This is the largest solar strom since 2007. Spaceweather.com: “Big sunspot AR1429 unleashed another major flare. This one is the strongest yet, an X5-class eruption on March 7, 2012, at 00:28 UT. The flare also accelerated energetic protons toward Earth, triggering an S3-class solar radiation storm, in progress. Such a storm is mainly a nuisance to satellites, causing occasional reboots of onboard computers and adding noise to imaging systems. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme UV flash.” See SDO.
March 7, 2012 – Wolf Spiders Leave Australian Farm
Silky White Trying to Escape Flood.
“The spiders don’t pose any harm at all. The amount of mosquitoes
around (after flood) would be incredible because of all this water,
so the spiders are actually helping us out.”
- Brett Finlayson, Taronga Zoo Spider Keeper
8,000 Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, residents have had to evacuate their homes
because of floods. Wolf spiders also tried to escape the flood waters by “ballooning,”
casting their silk webs to rise up from the ground. That’s why the Wagga Wagga
farm above was covered in wolf spider silk. On the right is a wolf spider

in southern Argentina. Images © 2012 by Reuters.
Reuters reports, “The glacier, a massive tongue of ice in the Santa Cruz province, covers 250 square kilometers (97 square miles) and advances yearly into a lake known as Lago Argentino. As Perito Moreno moves forward, it cuts off a river feeding the lake. Water builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until ice comes tumbling down. The phenomenon repeats itself at irregular intervals, with the last major ice falls occurring in 2008.” See video.

March 4, 2012 – NASA Confirms Asteroid 2012 DA14
Could Hit Earth Next February.
“We could paint it.”
- David Dunham, NASA JPL Engineer
Asteroid 2012 DA 14′s closest approach to Earth
will be February 15, 2013, when it will be about 16,700 miles
(27,000 km) from our planet if its orbit does not change. Asteroid
moving toward Earth illustration by NASA.
NASA scientists are concerned enough to suggest the asteroid either be blasted with big guns – or painted to change how sunlight reflects off its surface in order to alter the asteroid’s temperature, spin and orbital path. If we shoot at the asteroid, it could break into pieces that could still hit Earth. Painting DA14 to change its orbit slightly could backfire in 2056 when asteroid DA14 returns near Earth. If DA14 hits Earth, estimates are the impact would be similar to the Tunguska, Siberia, blast of 1908 that knocked trees down over an 830-square-mile area. See Near Earth Objects.

“I heard booms in Leland around 10 AM this morning (Feb. 28) –
many booms in fast tempo back-to-back for about 2 to 3 seconds.
You could feel the booms in your chest.”
Stretching at least 90 miles from Leland, Wilimington and Wrightsville Beach
in Brunswick County (bottom red circles) to Cove City and New Bern in
Craven County, North Carolina (upper right circle), beginning at 10:04 AM
on Tuesday, February 28, 2012, hundreds of residents called media, authorities
and lit up Facebook pages with reports of buildings shaking and loud booms.
Then an hour and forty minutes later at 11:44 AM, dozens more people

February 15, 2012 – Serious Bird-Kill from Fukushima Radiation.
“These birds, which have never experienced radiation of this intensity
before, might be especially sensitive to radioactive contaminants.”
- Timothy Mousseau, Ph.D., Biologist, Univ. of South Carolina
Low-level radiation in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan,
after March 11, 2011, 9.1 earthquake and massive tsunami, appears
to have immediately hurt and killed bird populations to a greater degree
than was expected from a related analysis of Chernobyl. That nuclear meltdown
on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine caused
an explosion and fire that released large quantities of radioactive contamination
into the atmosphere that spread over much of the Western Soviet Union and Europe.
See: Environmental Pollution Vol. 164.
University of South Carolina scientists reported in the February 8, 2012, Environmental Pollution that bird counts at 300 locations in Fukushima Prefecture, “ranging from 15 to 30 miles from the damaged nuclear power complex,” where humans were still allowed to live, had external radiation levels from 0.5 to 35 microsieverts per hour in July 2011. Bird die-offs were significant in the more contaminated areas. “For 14 species of birds found in both Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and Fukushima region, the diminution of population size from increased radiation dose was more pronounced at Fukushima than Chernobyl.”

for more than 20 million years. It’s a meeting with the unknown.”
- Lev Savatyugin, AARI Researcher
Russian drilling machine 5-G at work in Antarctica to bore down to the gigantic
freshwater Lake Vostok that has been under deep ice for more than 20 million years.

St. Petersburg, Russia. Map of Antarctica showing Lake Vostok.Map by Alyson Hurt, NPR.
“It’s like exploring another planet, except this one is ours,” Prof. Robin Bell, a glaciologist from Columbia University told Associated Press. Russia’s Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St. Petersburg has been drilling for more than two decades to reach the surface of Lake Vostok, about the size of Lake Ontario, and finally got there on Sunday, February 5, 2012. The scientists knew the drill reached the lake because 50 cubic feet of kerosene and freon poured up to the surface from the bore shaft, sent upward by a surge in pressure from the lake water.
That gush froze in the drill hole and will be removed for analysis in December 2012, when Antarctica’s summer returns. This breakthrough occurred right before the scientists were preparing to leave as the harsh Antarctic winter sets in now. Lake Vostok has been under 2.4 miles of Antarctic ice for more than 20 million years. The lake is warmed from below by geothermal heat, so the primeval water could contain ancient bacteria for comparison to Earth’s surface bacteria and life.
If the Antarctic Treaty organization approves, Russian scientists want to explore Lake Vostok with an underwater robot that can videotape as water samples and sediments are collected from the bottom of the lake.

NHK World in Tokyo reports that on the morning of Monday, February 6, 2012, the temperature in Unit 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant soared to 164 degrees Fahrenheit (73.3 degrees Celsius) and remains mysteriously high despite more water being pumped through it.
TEPCO, that in December 2011 put Unit 2 and two other Fukushima reactors in cold shutdown mode with cooler temperatures, suggested recent plumbing work in Unit 2 might be responsible for the sudden, mysterious heating. See NHK World and video.
February 6, 2012 – Two Oceans Existed On Mars?
“MARSIS penetrates deep into the ground, revealing the
first 60 to 80 meters of the planet’s subsurface. Throughout all of this depth,
we see the evidence for sedimentary material and ice.”
- Wlodek Kofman, Ph.D., Leader, Grenoble IPAG Radar Team
MARSIS radar on Mars Express gives strong evidence
for perhaps two ancient oceans in the northern plains of Mars.
The radar detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean
floor inside previously identified, ancient shorelines
on the red planet. Image credit: ESA, C. Carreau.
MARSIS radar data collected over two years of Martian orbits shows that the northern plains of Mars are covered with a low-density material interpreted to be ice-rich sedimentary deposits. The European Space Agency (ESA) reports two oceans have been proposed, including one about 4 billion years ago, and another 3 billion years ago. The ocean that occurred 4 billion years ago was during a time that Mars had warmer conditions. The second theorized ocean was during a time when subsurface ice melted after a large impact, which created outflow channels that drained the water into areas of low elevation. The water in the ocean would have either frozen back in place and been preserved underground, or turned into vapor within a million years or less. If the oceans existed for only a short geological time, the question remains: could life have started in ancient Mars? Also see: ESA.
February 2, 2012 – Interstellar Space Beyond
Our Solar System Stranger Than Expected.
“We discovered this big puzzle — that the matter just outside

Solar wind streaming out from our yellow Sun
past the planets and forming a boundary (maroon ring)
as it clashes with the interstellar space between stars.
Illustration by Adler Planetarium/IBEX team.
NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft was launched in 2008 to circle 200,000 miles above Earth and to study the chaotic boundary where the solar wind from the sun streams toward cold gases from interstellar space. IBEX data indicates “the interstellar region shows less oxygen than expected.” So, where is outer space oxygen? One idea is that interstellar oxygen might be “locked up in the dusty or icy grains that are in the local interstellar material” beyond our Sun’s solar wind bubble that protects this solar system.

January 11, 2012 – 100+ Billion Planets in Milky Way Galaxy.
“We have searched for evidence of exoplanets in six years of microlensing
observations. Remarkably, these data show that planets are more common
than stars in our galaxy. We also found that lighter planets, such as
super-Earths or cool Neptunes, must be more common than heavier ones.”
- Arnaud Cassan, Ph.D., Institut de Astrophysique, Paris, France
A six-year survey of millions of stars using a microlensing technique found
that nearly every star has orbiting planets. The average number of planets per star
is more than one; thus, there are 100-plus billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
And there are billions of galaxies in this 13.7 billion-year-old universe.

The answer is Not yet, but: “We observe an excess of events around 126 GeV (Giga electron Volts),” said Fabiola Gianotti, Ph.D., head of the ATLAS research, one of two major scientific and engineering teams trying to find a Higgs boson particle. The other is CMS headed by Guido Tonelli, who also reported that 124 – 126 GeV “is the region where, if you see excess events, there’s a hint that something is up.”

On March 15, 2012, Wired.com published “The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say” by author and former Navy Intelligence analyst James Bamford. Bamford writes: “… for the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration — the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the U.S. and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it’s all being done in secret.” For whole Bamford article and illustrations, please see 031512 Wired.com.

Georgia Tech’s Andrew Newman, Ph.D., who has been studying the volcanic island of Santorini with 20 GPS stations reports that the caldera is rapidly deforming at levels never seen before. Since January 2011, the caldera chamber has expanded with enough magma to fill a 900-foot-diameter sphere. 50,000 summer tourists a day visit the island where one of the largest volcanic events in human history occurred around 1,650 B. C., burying the port city of Akrotiri with more than 20 meters of ash and created the famous Santorini cliffs. The last Santorini eruption was in 1950. See: Georgia Tech.

March 11, 2012 – First Anniversary of 3/11 Fukushima Disaster.
On the 1st anniversary of the Japanese quake and tsunami catastrophe, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thinks more people beyond the 70,000 evacuated so far need to be removed beyond the 12-mile-dead-zone around the TEPCO nuclear power plants because radioactive contamination beyond the dead zone exceeds safe levels. The IAEA recently warned that the “average level of caesium-137 is double its operational criteria for evacuation – 1 MBq/m2 of caesium-137.” But to date, the Japanese government has not agreed to widen the evacuation zone. High radiation levels in the dead zone are reportedly preventing workers from recovering bodies left by the tsunami of March 11, 2011.

Reuters reports, “The glacier, a massive tongue of ice in the Santa Cruz province, covers 250 square kilometers (97 square miles) and advances yearly into a lake known as Lago Argentino. As Perito Moreno moves forward, it cuts off a river feeding the lake. Water builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until ice comes tumbling down. The phenomenon repeats itself at irregular intervals, with the last major ice falls occurring in 2008.” See video.

March 4, 2012 – NASA Confirms Asteroid 2012 DA14
Could Hit Earth Next February.
“We could paint it.”
- David Dunham, NASA JPL Engineer
Asteroid 2012 DA 14′s closest approach to Earth
will be February 15, 2013, when it will be about 16,700 miles
(27,000 km) from our planet if its orbit does not change. Asteroid
moving toward Earth illustration by NASA.
NASA scientists are concerned enough to suggest the asteroid either be blasted with big guns – or painted to change how sunlight reflects off its surface in order to alter the asteroid’s temperature, spin and orbital path. If we shoot at the asteroid, it could break into pieces that could still hit Earth. Painting DA14 to change its orbit slightly could backfire in 2056 when asteroid DA14 returns near Earth. If DA14 hits Earth, estimates are the impact would be similar to the Tunguska, Siberia, blast of 1908 that knocked trees down over an 830-square-mile area. See Near Earth Objects.

February 15, 2012 – Serious Bird-Kill from Fukushima Radiation.
“These birds, which have never experienced radiation of this intensity
before, might be especially sensitive to radioactive contaminants.”
- Timothy Mousseau, Ph.D., Biologist, Univ. of South Carolina
Low-level radiation in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan,
after March 11, 2011, 9.1 earthquake and massive tsunami, appears
to have immediately hurt and killed bird populations to a greater degree
than was expected from a related analysis of Chernobyl. That nuclear meltdown
on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine caused
an explosion and fire that released large quantities of radioactive contamination
into the atmosphere that spread over much of the Western Soviet Union and Europe.
See: Environmental Pollution Vol. 164.
University of South Carolina scientists reported in the February 8, 2012, Environmental Pollution that bird counts at 300 locations in Fukushima Prefecture, “ranging from 15 to 30 miles from the damaged nuclear power complex,” where humans were still allowed to live, had external radiation levels from 0.5 to 35 microsieverts per hour in July 2011. Bird die-offs were significant in the more contaminated areas. “For 14 species of birds found in both Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and Fukushima region, the diminution of population size from increased radiation dose was more pronounced at Fukushima than Chernobyl.”

February 8, 2012 – Russian Drill Reaches Lake Vostok
2.4 Miles Under Antarctic Ice.
“There is no other place on Earth that has been in isolation
for more than 20 million years. It’s a meeting with the unknown.”
- Lev Savatyugin, AARI Researcher
Russian drilling machine 5-G at work in Antarctica to bore down to the gigantic
freshwater Lake Vostok that has been under deep ice for more than 20 million years.

“It’s like exploring another planet, except this one is ours,” Prof. Robin Bell, a glaciologist from Columbia University told Associated Press. Russia’s Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St. Petersburg has been drilling for more than two decades to reach the surface of Lake Vostok, about the size of Lake Ontario, and finally got there on Sunday, February 5, 2012. The scientists knew the drill reached the lake because 50 cubic feet of kerosene and freon poured up to the surface from the bore shaft, sent upward by a surge in pressure from the lake water.
That gush froze in the drill hole and will be removed for analysis in December 2012, when Antarctica’s summer returns. This breakthrough occurred right before the scientists were preparing to leave as the harsh Antarctic winter sets in now. Lake Vostok has been under 2.4 miles of Antarctic ice for more than 20 million years. The lake is warmed from below by geothermal heat, so the primeval water could contain ancient bacteria for comparison to Earth’s surface bacteria and life.
If the Antarctic Treaty organization approves, Russian scientists want to explore Lake Vostok with an underwater robot that can videotape as water samples and sediments are collected from the bottom of the lake.

NHK World in Tokyo reports that on the morning of Monday, February 6, 2012, the temperature in Unit 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant soared to 164 degrees Fahrenheit (73.3 degrees Celsius) and remains mysteriously high despite more water being pumped through it.
TEPCO, that in December 2011 put Unit 2 and two other Fukushima reactors in cold shutdown mode with cooler temperatures, suggested recent plumbing work in Unit 2 might be responsible for the sudden, mysterious heating. See NHK World and video.
February 6, 2012 – Two Oceans Existed On Mars?
“MARSIS penetrates deep into the ground, revealing the
first 60 to 80 meters of the planet’s subsurface. Throughout all of this depth,
we see the evidence for sedimentary material and ice.”
- Wlodek Kofman, Ph.D., Leader, Grenoble IPAG Radar Team
MARSIS radar on Mars Express gives strong evidence
for perhaps two ancient oceans in the northern plains of Mars.
The radar detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean
floor inside previously identified, ancient shorelines
on the red planet. Image credit: ESA, C. Carreau.
MARSIS radar data collected over two years of Martian orbits shows that the northern plains of Mars are covered with a low-density material interpreted to be ice-rich sedimentary deposits. The European Space Agency (ESA) reports two oceans have been proposed, including one about 4 billion years ago, and another 3 billion years ago. The ocean that occurred 4 billion years ago was during a time that Mars had warmer conditions. The second theorized ocean was during a time when subsurface ice melted after a large impact, which created outflow channels that drained the water into areas of low elevation. The water in the ocean would have either frozen back in place and been preserved underground, or turned into vapor within a million years or less. If the oceans existed for only a short geological time, the question remains: could life have started in ancient Mars? Also see: ESA.
February 2, 2012 – Interstellar Space Beyond
Our Solar System Stranger Than Expected.
“We discovered this big puzzle — that the matter just outside

- David McComas, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, TX
Solar wind streaming out from our yellow Sun
past the planets and forming a boundary (maroon ring)
as it clashes with the interstellar space between stars.
Illustration by Adler Planetarium/IBEX team.
NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft was launched in 2008 to circle 200,000 miles above Earth and to study the chaotic boundary where the solar wind from the sun streams toward cold gases from interstellar space. IBEX data indicates “the interstellar region shows less oxygen than expected.” So, where is outer space oxygen? One idea is that interstellar oxygen might be “locked up in the dusty or icy grains that are in the local interstellar material” beyond our Sun’s solar wind bubble that protects this solar system.

super-Earths or cool Neptunes, must be more common than heavier ones.”
- Arnaud Cassan, Ph.D., Institut de Astrophysique, Paris, France
A six-year survey of millions of stars using a microlensing technique found
that nearly every star has orbiting planets. The average number of planets per star
is more than one; thus, there are 100-plus billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
And there are billions of galaxies in this 13.7 billion-year-old universe.

Two Nights of Mysterious Rattling Booms in Clintonville, WI

“We have checked gas lines, sewers, water pressures
and consulted with meteorologists, seismologists, U. S. military,
utilities experts and mining companies, but have come up empty-handed.”
- Lisa Kuss, City Administrator, Clintonville, WI
Clintonville, Wisconsin, is a small town of about 4,600 residents 180 miles north of Madison
and west of Lake Michigan. Beginning around 9:30 PM Central on Sunday evening, March 18,
people in northeastern Clintonville reported loud sounds that shook their homes and were
compared to clanging metal and thunder. Monday evening, March 19, Clintonville
police, fire, emergency and utility crews checked manholes for gas leaks and
gas and water lines for leaks, but nothing abnormal was found.
The northeastern section of Clintonville, Wisconsin, has been the focus of the unexplained
house-rattling booms and clangs that were first reported around 9:30 PM Central on Sunday
evening, March 18, 2012, and extended until at least 7:15 AM, Monday morning, March 19.
Then the sounds started again after midnight on Tuesday, March 20, 2012,
and were heard until at least 5:10 AM.
March 20, 2012 Clintonville, Wisconsin – Clintonville, Wisconsin, is a small town of about 4,600 residents 180 miles north of Madison and west of Lake Michigan.
1st Night to Morning: Sunday to Monday, March 18-19, 2012
Strongest times were 1:45 AM, 5:30 AM and 7:15 AM on Monday, March 19
Beginning around 9:30 PM Central on Sunday evening, March 18, 2012, until 5:30 AM early Monday morning, people in northeastern Clintonville reported loud sounds that shook their homes and were compared to clanging metal, jackhammers and thunder. Some thought the vibrations were coming from underground. City Administrator Lisa Kuss said people reported that the shaking increased early Monday morning, March 19, 2012, at 1:45 AM and stayed loud until around 7:15 AM when the mysterious booming, clanging, house-rattling noises tapered off. But were not gone because they started all over again around 12:15 AM right after midnight on Tuesday, March 20.
2nd Night to Morning: Monday to Tuesday, March 19-20, 2012
Strongest times were between 12:15 AM and 5:10 AM, Tuesday, March 20
Monday evening, March 19, Clintonville police, fire, emergency and utility crews checked manholes for gas leaks, gas and water lines for leaks, but nothing abnormal was found.
However, the metallic clanging and house-rattling sounds started again a little after midnight early Tuesday morning, March 20, 2012. Police received nearly 100 phone calls between 12:15 AM and 5:10 AM, especially at 12:15 AM, 1:20 AM, 2:20 AM. and a few at 5:08AM. Dispatcher Karen Wegenke says residents were reporting loud booms that shook their houses.
Nick Penzenstadler, reporter for The Post-Crescent in Appleton, Wisconsin, [see links to his news reports in Websites below] interviewed some witnesses in the northeastern section of the town where the mysterious noises have concentrated. Transcripts of those videotaped interviews are reprinted with Nick’s permission.
Interviews:
Jordan Pfeiler describing midnight to morning booming and shaking sounds she heard on Monday, March 19, 2012, at her northeastern Clintonville, Wisconsin home: “I heard it when I got home at midnight from work after restaurant shift. And then at 3:30 AM, I woke up and the noise was consistent. It was one right after another – there was booming and it was shaking the house.
WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS HAPPENING?
I thought it had something to do with the gas lines. We were hearing the noise a couple of weeks before, but it was just sporadic.
SO HOW LOUD, LIKE ON A SCALE?
It varied. It would be quiet and then there were loud sounds. It seemed like it was traveling.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD IT?
This morning around 11 AM.
SO WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD COULD BE CAUSING THIS?
Everything! I’ve heard there’s a meth lab underground. I’ve heard it’s an earthquake”
Tyler Zehren describing 3:30 AM sound that woke him up and kept him awake on Tuesday, March 20, at his northeastern Clintonville, Wisconsin home: “At 3:30 this morning, there was a lot of rumbling and the ground was shaking.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE?
Solid bangs like a car crash or something like that.
WAS IT LOUD ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU AWAKE?
Oh, yeah. I definitely could not fall asleep after that.
DID YOU GO OUTSIDE?
Yes, I stood outside for a good hour and a half just listening to it and feeling it.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS DOING IT?
I have no idea. It was almost like an earthquake or something.”
The Monday, March 19, sounds did trigger seismic station instruments in Shiocton several miles away, but the U.S. Geological Survey says there are no records of actual seismic activity anywhere in Wisconsin on March 18 to 20. Postcrescent.com reports that “officials have been patrolling the streets and have found no damage and no one has been injured and some residents reported that they’ve heard similar sounds within the last two weeks.”
Scientists, including geologists, have been contacted by city officials for answers. Residents in Georgia and Alabama would also like to know what caused the loud, unexplained, window-rattling booms there recently as well.
Updated 031512: More Unexplained Loud Booms,
Now in Georgia and Alabama
Subject: Powerful Boom in Southeastern Georgia
Date: March 15, 2012
To: earthfiles@earthfiles.com
Linda, This morning at around 8:28 am, a large explosion or boom was heard over Brunswick GA. This boom shook window and doors throughout the entire county. Upon further reports, it was felt from as far west as 10 miles west of Waycross GA, south to Folkston GA, and north to Savannah GA. A local radio call in show on WGIG, 1440 AM took calls from people that heard and felt this large event. I just wanted you to be aware of what has happened here and maybe help shed some light on this event. If you need any more information, do not hesitate to contact me. Regards, Brunswick, Georgia Resident
March 15, 2012, TV headline by News4Jax.com, Jacksonville, Florida.
The five southeastern Georgia counties where the very loud, window-rattling boom was heard on March 15, 2012, between 8:15 AM and 8:30 AM were Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Glynn and McIntosh Counties, marked with red circles in map below.
Officer Todd Rhodes from Georgia’s Brunswick Police Dept. told Channel 4: “It was a noise that literally shook our home. There was some panic there because you know when you hear that noise as far-reaching as it was – and not only hearing it, but feeling it – you want to know, ‘What is this?’”

News4Jax.com reported that the U. S. Geological Survey had no seismic evidence of an earthquake and the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay said they “were not conducting any operations that would have caused a sonic boom or explosion.” Channel 4 checked with the Navy and Marines, which said there were two F/A-18 Super Hornets flying over Georgia at the time, “but they were nowhere close to the speed of sound.” The FAA told Channel 4 the agency had no record of any aircraft going supersonic in the 5-county area on Thursday morning.
The loud boom mystery has persisted in many states for a long time. See related Earthfiles Archive reports below.
The fact that the loud booms continue over time without any explanation is increasingly troubling to affected residents such as Brunswick police officer Todd Rhodes, who told Channel 4, “We haven’t heard anything and that’s sad. So many people here have felt the booms and we don’t have a clue what it was.”
Brunswick, Georgia, is on the Atlantic coast and 453 miles northwest,
a little south of Birmingham, Alabama, are Chilton and Bibb Counties where unexplained
loud, wall-rumbling sounds were reported over a 2-county area on March 6, 2012.
Loud “Explosions” in Chilton and Bibb Counties, in Central Alabama
Birmingham News online, March 6, 2012.
453 miles northwest of Brunswick, Georgia, near Birmingham, Alabama, on March 6, 2012, the 911 dispatchers in Chilton County, Alabama, south of Birmingham, received some 100 reports from all over the county “of loud explosions and walls of homes suddenly shaking.” The 911 director, Dan Wright, told the Birmingham News that he was in his home at about 4:30 PM when, “I felt the ground shaking and I heard this loud rumbling. My garage door started shaking and it sounded like it was falling down.” In Bibb County to the west of Chilton County, the 911 dispatcher also received about half a dozen calls reporting similar booms and shakes.

The next day on March 7, 2012, the Birmingham News reported that the Federal Aviation Administration “found no records of any flights Tuesday afternoon, March 6, that could have caused a sonic boom in central Alabama.” An FAA spokesperson explained civilian planes don’t fly fast enough to cause a sonic boom – only military aircraft could do that. But a spokesman for Maxwell-Gunter AFB in Montgomery denied any of its aircraft were flying faster than the speed of sound.

Update: March 20, 2012 – City Crews and Scientists
Investigating Wisconsin Rattling Booms.
Clintonville, Wisconsin, is a small town of about 4,600 residents 180 miles north of Madison
and west of Lake Michigan. Beginning around 9:30 PM Central on Sunday evening, March 18,
people in northeastern Clintonville reported loud sounds that shook their homes and were
compared to clanging metal and thunder. Monday evening, March 19, Clintonville
police, fire, emergency and utility crews checked manholes for gas leaks and
water pressures for leaks, but nothing abnormal was found.
Clintonville residents felt their homes shaking from 9:30 PM Sunday to 5:30 AM Monday and some thought the vibration was coming from underground. City Administrator Lisa Kuss said people reported that the shaking increased early Monday morning, March 19, 2012, at 1:45 AM until around 5:30 AM and then tapered off. The U.S. Geological Survey says there are no records of seismic activity anywhere in Wisconsin on March 18 to 19. City Manager Lisa Kuss told CNN the sounds were vibrating homes in the northeastern corner of Clintonville. Scientists, including geologists, have been contacted by city officials for answers. Residents in Georgia and Alabama would also like to know what caused the loud, unexplained, window-rattling booms there recently as well.

On March 15, 2012, Wired.com published “The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say” by author and former Navy Intelligence analyst James Bamford. Bamford writes: “… for the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration — the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the U.S. and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it’s all being done in secret.” For whole Bamford article and illustrations, please see 031512 Wired.com.

Georgia Tech’s Andrew Newman, Ph.D., who has been studying the volcanic island of Santorini with 20 GPS stations reports that the caldera is rapidly deforming at levels never seen before. Since January 2011, the caldera chamber has expanded with enough magma to fill a 900-foot-diameter sphere. 50,000 summer tourists a day visit the island where one of the largest volcanic events in human history occurred around 1,650 B. C., burying the port city of Akrotiri with more than 20 meters of ash and created the famous Santorini cliffs. The last Santorini eruption was in 1950. See: Georgia Tech.

Sunspot 1429 was captured in great detail in the Sun’s chromosphere on
March 11, 2012, by isolating a color of light emitted primarily by hydrogen.
NASA: “The resulting image is shown in inverted false color with dark regions
being the brightest and hottest. Giant magnetically-channeled tubes of hot gas,
some longer than the Earth, are known as spicules and can be seen carpeting
the chromosphere. As solar maximum nears in the 2013 summer, the
Sun’s increasingly wound and twisted magnetic field could produce even
more furious spots.” Image © 2012 by Alan Friedman, Averted Imagination.

March 11, 2012 – First Anniversary of 3/11 Fukushima Disaster.
On the 1st anniversary of the Japanese quake and tsunami catastrophe, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thinks more people beyond the 70,000 evacuated so far need to be removed beyond the 12-mile-dead-zone around the TEPCO nuclear power plants because radioactive contamination beyond the dead zone exceeds safe levels. The IAEA recently warned that the “average level of caesium-137 is double its operational criteria for evacuation – 1 MBq/m2 of caesium-137.” But to date, the Japanese government has not agreed to widen the evacuation zone. High radiation levels in the dead zone are reportedly preventing workers from recovering bodies left by the tsunami of March 11, 2011.

Monsanto’s genetically modified corn rootworm crop is supposed to reduce the need to put insecticides into the soil because Monsanto’s goal was to make corn plants toxic to the worms that try to feed on corn roots. But in a March 5, 2012, letter from 22 corn experts addressed to the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, the academic scientists report their studies show that the genetic modification by Monsanto of the “transgenic Bt corn rootworm corn” genetically infused with the toxin Cry3Bbl to kill rootworm has produced GMO corn that is losing its resistance to the insects.

The flare also accelerated energetic protons toward Earth, triggering an S3-class solar radiation storm, in progress. Such a storm is mainly a nuisance to satellites, causing occasional reboots of onboard computers and adding noise to imaging systems. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme UV flash.” See SDO.

8,000 Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, residents have had to evacuate their homes
because of floods. Wolf spiders also tried to escape the flood waters by “ballooning,”
casting their silk webs to rise up from the ground. That’s why the Wagga Wagga

Reuters reports, “The glacier, a massive tongue of ice in the Santa Cruz province, covers 250 square kilometers (97 square miles) and advances yearly into a lake known as Lago Argentino. As Perito Moreno moves forward, it cuts off a river feeding the lake. Water builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until ice comes tumbling down. The phenomenon repeats itself at irregular intervals, with the last major ice falls occurring in 2008.” See video.

March 4, 2012 – NASA Confirms Asteroid 2012 DA14
Could Hit Earth Next February.
“We could paint it.”
- David Dunham, NASA JPL Engineer
Asteroid 2012 DA 14′s closest approach to Earth
will be February 15, 2013, when it will be about 16,700 miles
(27,000 km) from our planet if its orbit does not change. Asteroid
moving toward Earth illustration by NASA.
NASA scientists are concerned enough to suggest the asteroid either be blasted with big guns – or painted to change how sunlight reflects off its surface in order to alter the asteroid’s temperature, spin and orbital path. If we shoot at the asteroid, it could break into pieces that could still hit Earth. Painting DA14 to change its orbit slightly could backfire in 2056 when asteroid DA14 returns near Earth. If DA14 hits Earth, estimates are the impact would be similar to the Tunguska, Siberia, blast of 1908 that knocked trees down over an 830-square-mile area. See Near Earth Objects.

March 2, 2012 – Mysterious Shaking and Booms in North Carolina.
“It felt like a huge gust of wind hit the building for about one or two seconds.”

“I heard booms in Leland around 10 AM this morning (Feb. 28) –
many booms in fast tempo back-to-back for about 2 to 3 seconds.
You could feel the booms in your chest.”
Stretching at least 90 miles from Leland, Wilimington and Wrightsville Beach
in Brunswick County (bottom red circles) to Cove City and New Bern in
Craven County, North Carolina (upper right circle), beginning at 10:04 AM
on Tuesday, February 28, 2012, hundreds of residents called media, authorities
and lit up Facebook pages with reports of buildings shaking and loud booms.
Then an hour and forty minutes later at 11:44 AM, dozens more people
heard and reported back-to-back loud booms in Brunswick County.
WECT-TV (NBC) reported, “The United States Geological Survey and its network of seismometers have reported NO significant earthquakes along the east coast within the last day (February 27-28, 2012) – so earthquake activity is not likely the cause. The USGS would love to know what you felt and when you felt it.
“WECT.com contacted Corporal Clark with the public affairs division at Camp Lejune, home of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Unit in Jacksonville N.C.

February 15, 2012 – Serious Bird-Kill from Fukushima Radiation.
“These birds, which have never experienced radiation of this intensity
before, might be especially sensitive to radioactive contaminants.”
- Timothy Mousseau, Ph.D., Biologist, Univ. of South Carolina
Low-level radiation in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan,
after March 11, 2011, 9.1 earthquake and massive tsunami, appears
to have immediately hurt and killed bird populations to a greater degree
than was expected from a related analysis of Chernobyl. That nuclear meltdown
on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine caused
an explosion and fire that released large quantities of radioactive contamination
into the atmosphere that spread over much of the Western Soviet Union and Europe.
See: Environmental Pollution Vol. 164.
University of South Carolina scientists reported in the February 8, 2012, Environmental Pollution that bird counts at 300 locations in Fukushima Prefecture, “ranging from 15 to 30 miles from the damaged nuclear power complex,” where humans were still allowed to live, had external radiation levels from 0.5 to 35 microsieverts per hour in July 2011. Bird die-offs were significant in the more contaminated areas. “For 14 species of birds found in both Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and Fukushima region, the diminution of population size from increased radiation dose was more pronounced at Fukushima than Chernobyl.”

The scientists knew the drill reached the lake because 50 cubic feet of kerosene and freon poured up to the surface from the bore shaft, sent upward by a surge in pressure from the lake water.
That gush froze in the drill hole and will be removed for analysis in December 2012, when Antarctica’s summer returns. This breakthrough occurred right before the scientists were preparing to leave as the harsh Antarctic winter sets in now. Lake Vostok has been under 2.4 miles of Antarctic ice for more than 20 million years. The lake is warmed from below by geothermal heat, so the primeval water could contain ancient bacteria for comparison to Earth’s surface bacteria and life.
If the Antarctic Treaty organization approves, Russian scientists want to explore Lake Vostok with an underwater robot that can videotape as water samples and sediments are collected from the bottom of the lake.
February 6, 2012 – Why Is Fukushima Nuclear Reactor 2 Heating Up?
TEPCO nuclear power reactor Unit 2,
built in a line with Units 1, 3, and 4.
Overheating and explosions in the reactors followed the
9.1 earthquake and huge tsunami on March 11, 2011.

NHK World in Tokyo reports that on the morning of Monday, February 6, 2012, the temperature in Unit 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant soared to 164 degrees Fahrenheit (73.3 degrees Celsius) and remains mysteriously high despite more water being pumped through it.
TEPCO, that in December 2011 put Unit 2 and two other Fukushima reactors in cold shutdown mode with cooler temperatures, suggested recent plumbing work in Unit 2 might be responsible for the sudden, mysterious heating. See NHK World and video.
February 6, 2012 – Two Oceans Existed On Mars?
“MARSIS penetrates deep into the ground, revealing the
first 60 to 80 meters of the planet’s subsurface. Throughout all of this depth,
we see the evidence for sedimentary material and ice.”
- Wlodek Kofman, Ph.D., Leader, Grenoble IPAG Radar Team
MARSIS radar on Mars Express gives strong evidence
for perhaps two ancient oceans in the northern plains of Mars.
The radar detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean
floor inside previously identified, ancient shorelines
on the red planet. Image credit: ESA, C. Carreau.
MARSIS radar data collected over two years of Martian orbits shows that the northern plains of Mars are covered with a low-density material interpreted to be ice-rich sedimentary deposits. The European Space Agency (ESA) reports two oceans have been proposed, including one about 4 billion years ago, and another 3 billion years ago. The ocean that occurred 4 billion years ago was during a time that Mars had warmer conditions. The second theorized ocean was during a time when subsurface ice melted after a large impact, which created outflow channels that drained the water into areas of low elevation. The water in the ocean would have either frozen back in place and been preserved underground, or turned into vapor within a million years or less. If the oceans existed for only a short geological time, the question remains: could life have started in ancient Mars? Also see: ESA.
February 2, 2012 – Interstellar Space Beyond
Our Solar System Stranger Than Expected.
“We discovered this big puzzle — that the matter just outside
of our solar system doesn’t look like the material inside.”
- David McComas, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, TX
Solar wind streaming out from our yellow Sun
past the planets and forming a boundary (maroon ring)
as it clashes with the interstellar space between stars.
Illustration by Adler Planetarium/IBEX team.
NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft was launched in 2008 to circle 200,000 miles above Earth and to study the chaotic boundary where the solar wind from the sun streams toward cold gases from interstellar space. IBEX data indicates “the interstellar region shows less oxygen than expected.” So, where is outer space oxygen? One idea is that interstellar oxygen might be “locked up in the dusty or icy grains that are in the local interstellar material” beyond our Sun’s solar wind bubble that protects this solar system. See: IBEX.

January 11, 2012 – 100+ Billion Planets in Milky Way Galaxy.
“We have searched for evidence of exoplanets in six years of microlensing
observations. Remarkably, these data show that planets are more common
than stars in our galaxy. We also found that lighter planets, such as
super-Earths or cool Neptunes, must be more common than heavier ones.”
- Arnaud Cassan, Ph.D., Institut de Astrophysique, Paris, France
A six-year survey of millions of stars using a microlensing technique found
that nearly every star has orbiting planets. The average number of planets per star
is more than one; thus, there are 100-plus billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
And there are billions of galaxies in this 13.7 billion-year-old universe.

Bamford writes: “… for the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration — the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the U.S. and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it’s all being done in secret.” For whole Bamford article and illustrations, please see 031512 Wired.com.

March 11, 2012 – First Anniversary of 3/11 Fukushima Disaster.
On the 1st anniversary of the Japanese quake and tsunami catastrophe, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thinks more people beyond the 70,000 evacuated so far need to be removed beyond the 12-mile-dead-zone around the TEPCO nuclear power plants because radioactive contamination beyond the dead zone exceeds safe levels. The IAEA recently warned that the “average level of caesium-137 is double its operational criteria for evacuation – 1 MBq/m2 of caesium-137.” But to date, the Japanese government has not agreed to widen the evacuation zone. High radiation levels in the dead zone are reportedly preventing workers from recovering bodies left by the tsunami of March 11, 2011.

Reuters reports, “The glacier, a massive tongue of ice in the Santa Cruz province, covers 250 square kilometers (97 square miles) and advances yearly into a lake known as Lago Argentino. As Perito Moreno moves forward, it cuts off a river feeding the lake. Water builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until ice comes tumbling down. The phenomenon repeats itself at irregular intervals, with the last major ice falls occurring in 2008.” See video.

March 4, 2012 – NASA Confirms Asteroid 2012 DA14
Could Hit Earth Next February.
“We could paint it.”
- David Dunham, NASA JPL Engineer
Asteroid 2012 DA 14′s closest approach to Earth
will be February 15, 2013, when it will be about 16,700 miles
(27,000 km) from our planet if its orbit does not change. Asteroid
moving toward Earth illustration by NASA.
NASA scientists are concerned enough to suggest the asteroid either be blasted with big guns – or painted to change how sunlight reflects off its surface in order to alter the asteroid’s temperature, spin and orbital path. If we shoot at the asteroid, it could break into pieces that could still hit Earth. Painting DA14 to change its orbit slightly could backfire in 2056 when asteroid DA14 returns near Earth. If DA14 hits Earth, estimates are the impact would be similar to the Tunguska, Siberia, blast of 1908 that knocked trees down over an 830-square-mile area. See Near Earth Objects.

“I heard booms in Leland around 10 AM this morning (Feb. 28) –
many booms in fast tempo back-to-back for about 2 to 3 seconds.
You could feel the booms in your chest.”

Craven County, North Carolina (upper right circle), beginning at 10:04 AM
on Tuesday, February 28, 2012, hundreds of residents called media, authorities
and lit up Facebook pages with reports of buildings shaking and loud booms.
Then an hour and forty minutes later at 11:44 AM, dozens more people

WECT-TV (NBC) reported, “The United States Geological Survey and its network of seismometers have reported NO significant earthquakes along the east coast within the last day (February 27-28, 2012) – so earthquake activity is not likely the cause. The USGS would love to know what you felt and when you felt it.
“WECT.com contacted Corporal Clark with the public affairs division at Camp Lejune, home of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Unit in Jacksonville N.C. He was not able to confirm any live ordinance military drills at frequently used training areas jut off the coast of North Carolina; however, he did refer us to higher command regarding the issue.

February 15, 2012 – Serious Bird-Kill from Fukushima Radiation.
“These birds, which have never experienced radiation of this intensity
before, might be especially sensitive to radioactive contaminants.”
- Timothy Mousseau, Ph.D., Biologist, Univ. of South Carolina
Low-level radiation in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan,
after March 11, 2011, 9.1 earthquake and massive tsunami, appears
to have immediately hurt and killed bird populations to a greater degree
than was expected from a related analysis of Chernobyl. That nuclear meltdown
on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine caused
an explosion and fire that released large quantities of radioactive contamination
into the atmosphere that spread over much of the Western Soviet Union and Europe.
See: Environmental Pollution Vol. 164.
University of South Carolina scientists reported in the February 8, 2012, Environmental Pollution that bird counts at 300 locations in Fukushima Prefecture, “ranging from 15 to 30 miles from the damaged nuclear power complex,” where humans were still allowed to live, had external radiation levels from 0.5 to 35 microsieverts per hour in July 2011. Bird die-offs were significant in the more contaminated areas. “For 14 species of birds found in both Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and Fukushima region, the diminution of population size from increased radiation dose was more pronounced at Fukushima than Chernobyl.”

February 8, 2012 – Russian Drill Reaches Lake Vostok
2.4 Miles Under Antarctic Ice.
“There is no other place on Earth that has been in isolation
for more than 20 million years. It’s a meeting with the unknown.”
- Lev Savatyugin, AARI Researcher
Russian drilling machine 5-G at work in Antarctica to bore down to the gigantic
freshwater Lake Vostok that has been under deep ice for more than 20 million years.
Left: January 9, 2009, photo released by Arctic and Antarctic Research Inst. (AARI),
St. Petersburg, Russia. Map of Antarctica showing Lake Vostok.Map by Alyson Hurt, NPR.
“It’s like exploring another planet, except this one is ours,” Prof. Robin Bell, a glaciologist from Columbia University told Associated Press. Russia’s Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St. Petersburg has been drilling for more than two decades to reach the surface of Lake Vostok, about the size of Lake Ontario, and finally got there on Sunday, February 5, 2012. The scientists knew the drill reached the lake because 50 cubic feet of kerosene and freon poured up to the surface from the bore shaft, sent upward by a surge in pressure from the lake water.
That gush froze in the drill hole and will be removed for analysis in December 2012, when Antarctica’s summer returns. This breakthrough occurred right before the scientists were preparing to leave as the harsh Antarctic winter sets in now. Lake Vostok has been under 2.4 miles of Antarctic ice for more than 20 million years. The lake is warmed from below by geothermal heat, so the primeval water could contain ancient bacteria for comparison to Earth’s surface bacteria and life.
If the Antarctic Treaty organization approves, Russian scientists want to explore Lake Vostok with an underwater robot that can videotape as water samples and sediments are collected from the bottom of the lake.
February 6, 2012 – Why Is Fukushima Nuclear Reactor 2 Heating Up?

Overheating and explosions in the reactors followed the
9.1 earthquake and huge tsunami on March 11, 2011.

NHK World in Tokyo reports that on the morning of Monday, February 6, 2012, the temperature in Unit 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant soared to 164 degrees Fahrenheit (73.3 degrees Celsius) and remains mysteriously high despite more water being pumped through it.
TEPCO, that in December 2011 put Unit 2 and two other Fukushima reactors in cold shutdown mode with cooler temperatures, suggested recent plumbing work in Unit 2 might be responsible for the sudden, mysterious heating. See NHK World and video.
February 6, 2012 – Two Oceans Existed On Mars?
“MARSIS penetrates deep into the ground, revealing the
first 60 to 80 meters of the planet’s subsurface. Throughout all of this depth,
we see the evidence for sedimentary material and ice.”
- Wlodek Kofman, Ph.D., Leader, Grenoble IPAG Radar Team
MARSIS radar on Mars Express gives strong evidence
for perhaps two ancient oceans in the northern plains of Mars.
The radar detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean
floor inside previously identified, ancient shorelines
on the red planet. Image credit: ESA, C. Carreau.
MARSIS radar data collected over two years of Martian orbits shows that the northern plains of Mars are covered with a low-density material interpreted to be ice-rich sedimentary deposits. The European Space Agency (ESA) reports two oceans have been proposed, including one about 4 billion years ago, and another 3 billion years ago. The ocean that occurred 4 billion years ago was during a time that Mars had warmer conditions. The second theorized ocean was during a time when subsurface ice melted after a large impact, which created outflow channels that drained the water into areas of low elevation. The water in the ocean would have either frozen back in place and been preserved underground, or turned into vapor within a million years or less. If the oceans existed for only a short geological time, the question remains: could life have started in ancient Mars? Also see: ESA.
February 2, 2012 – Interstellar Space Beyond
Our Solar System Stranger Than Expected.
“We discovered this big puzzle — that the matter just outside

- David McComas, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, TX
Solar wind streaming out from our yellow Sun
past the planets and forming a boundary (maroon ring)
as it clashes with the interstellar space between stars.
Illustration by Adler Planetarium/IBEX team.
NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft was launched in 2008 to circle 200,000 miles above Earth and to study the chaotic boundary where the solar wind from the sun streams toward cold gases from interstellar space. IBEX data indicates “the interstellar region shows less oxygen than expected.” So, where is outer space oxygen? One idea is that interstellar oxygen might be “locked up in the dusty or icy grains that are in the local interstellar material” beyond our Sun’s solar wind bubble that protects this solar system.

- Arnaud Cassan, Ph.D., Institut de Astrophysique, Paris, France
A six-year survey of millions of stars using a microlensing technique found
that nearly every star has orbiting planets. The average number of planets per star
is more than one; thus, there are 100-plus billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
And there are billions of galaxies in this 13.7 billion-year-old universe.

On March 15, 2012, Wired.com published “The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say” by author and former Navy Intelligence analyst James Bamford. Bamford writes: “… for the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration — the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the U.S. and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it’s all being done in secret.” For whole Bamford article and illustrations, please see 031512 Wired.com.

Georgia Tech’s Andrew Newman, Ph.D., who has been studying the volcanic island of Santorini with 20 GPS stations reports that the caldera is rapidly deforming at levels never seen before. Since January 2011, the caldera chamber has expanded with enough magma to fill a 900-foot-diameter sphere. 50,000 summer tourists a day visit the island where one of the largest volcanic events in human history occurred around 1,650 B. C., burying the port city of Akrotiri with more than 20 meters of ash and created the famous Santorini cliffs. The last Santorini eruption was in 1950. See: Georgia Tech.
March 14, 2012 – Sunspot 1429′s Most Powerful Flares
and CMEs of Solar Cycle 24.
Also see video: Another eerie sun phenomenon on 3/11.
Sunspot 1429 was captured in great detail in the Sun’s chromosphere on
March 11, 2012, by isolating a color of light emitted primarily by hydrogen.
NASA: “The resulting image is shown in inverted false color with dark regions
being the brightest and hottest. Giant magnetically-channeled tubes of hot gas,
some longer than the Earth, are known as spicules and can be seen carpeting
the chromosphere. As solar maximum nears in the 2013 summer, the
Sun’s increasingly wound and twisted magnetic field could produce even
more furious spots.” Image © 2012 by Alan Friedman, Averted Imagination.

March 11, 2012 – First Anniversary of 3/11 Fukushima Disaster.
On the 1st anniversary of the Japanese quake and tsunami catastrophe, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thinks more people beyond the 70,000 evacuated so far need to be removed beyond the 12-mile-dead-zone around the TEPCO nuclear power plants because radioactive contamination beyond the dead zone exceeds safe levels. The IAEA recently warned that the “average level of caesium-137 is double its operational criteria for evacuation – 1 MBq/m2 of caesium-137.” But to date, the Japanese government has not agreed to widen the evacuation zone. High radiation levels in the dead zone are reportedly preventing workers from recovering bodies left by the tsunami of March 11, 2011.

Monsanto’s genetically modified corn rootworm crop is supposed to reduce the need to put insecticides into the soil because Monsanto’s goal was to make corn plants toxic to the worms that try to feed on corn roots. But in a March 5, 2012, letter from 22 corn experts addressed to the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, the academic scientists report their studies show that the genetic modification by Monsanto of the “transgenic Bt corn rootworm corn” genetically infused with the toxin Cry3Bbl to kill rootworm has produced GMO corn that is losing its resistance to the insects.

The flare also accelerated energetic protons toward Earth, triggering an S3-class solar radiation storm, in progress. Such a storm is mainly a nuisance to satellites, causing occasional reboots of onboard computers and adding noise to imaging systems.

8,000 Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, residents have had to evacuate their homes
because of floods. Wolf spiders also tried to escape the flood waters by “ballooning,”
casting their silk webs to rise up from the ground. That’s why the Wagga Wagga

Reuters reports, “The glacier, a massive tongue of ice in the Santa Cruz province, covers 250 square kilometers (97 square miles) and advances yearly into a lake known as Lago Argentino. As Perito Moreno moves forward, it cuts off a river feeding the lake. Water builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until ice comes tumbling down. The phenomenon repeats itself at irregular intervals, with the last major ice falls occurring in 2008.” See video.

March 4, 2012 – NASA Confirms Asteroid 2012 DA14
Could Hit Earth Next February.
“We could paint it.”
- David Dunham, NASA JPL Engineer
Asteroid 2012 DA 14′s closest approach to Earth
will be February 15, 2013, when it will be about 16,700 miles
(27,000 km) from our planet if its orbit does not change. Asteroid
moving toward Earth illustration by NASA.
NASA scientists are concerned enough to suggest the asteroid either be blasted with big guns – or painted to change how sunlight reflects off its surface in order to alter the asteroid’s temperature, spin and orbital path. If we shoot at the asteroid, it could break into pieces that could still hit Earth. Painting DA14 to change its orbit slightly could backfire in 2056 when asteroid DA14 returns near Earth. If DA14 hits Earth, estimates are the impact would be similar to the Tunguska, Siberia, blast of 1908 that knocked trees down over an 830-square-mile area. See Near Earth Objects.

February 15, 2012 – Serious Bird-Kill from Fukushima Radiation.
“These birds, which have never experienced radiation of this intensity
before, might be especially sensitive to radioactive contaminants.”
- Timothy Mousseau, Ph.D., Biologist, Univ. of South Carolina
Low-level radiation in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan,
after March 11, 2011, 9.1 earthquake and massive tsunami, appears
to have immediately hurt and killed bird populations to a greater degree
than was expected from a related analysis of Chernobyl. That nuclear meltdown
on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine caused
an explosion and fire that released large quantities of radioactive contamination
into the atmosphere that spread over much of the Western Soviet Union and Europe.
See: Environmental Pollution Vol. 164.
University of South Carolina scientists reported in the February 8, 2012, Environmental Pollution that bird counts at 300 locations in Fukushima Prefecture, “ranging from 15 to 30 miles from the damaged nuclear power complex,” where humans were still allowed to live, had external radiation levels from 0.5 to 35 microsieverts per hour in July 2011. Bird die-offs were significant in the more contaminated areas. “For 14 species of birds found in both Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and Fukushima region, the diminution of population size from increased radiation dose was more pronounced at Fukushima than Chernobyl.”

St. Petersburg, Russia. Map of Antarctica showing Lake Vostok.Map by Alyson Hurt, NPR.
“It’s like exploring another planet, except this one is ours,” Prof. Robin Bell, a glaciologist from Columbia University told Associated Press. Russia’s Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St. Petersburg has been drilling for more than two decades to reach the surface of Lake Vostok, about the size of Lake Ontario, and finally got there on Sunday, February 5, 2012. The scientists knew the drill reached the lake because 50 cubic feet of kerosene and freon poured up to the surface from the bore shaft, sent upward by a surge in pressure from the lake water.
That gush froze in the drill hole and will be removed for analysis in December 2012, when Antarctica’s summer returns. This breakthrough occurred right before the scientists were preparing to leave as the harsh Antarctic winter sets in now. Lake Vostok has been under 2.4 miles of Antarctic ice for more than 20 million years. The lake is warmed from below by geothermal heat, so the primeval water could contain ancient bacteria for comparison to Earth’s surface bacteria and life.
If the Antarctic Treaty organization approves, Russian scientists want to explore Lake Vostok with an underwater robot that can videotape as water samples and sediments are collected from the bottom of the lake.

NHK World in Tokyo reports that on the morning of Monday, February 6, 2012, the temperature in Unit 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant soared to 164 degrees Fahrenheit (73.3 degrees Celsius) and remains mysteriously high despite more water being pumped through it.
TEPCO, that in December 2011 put Unit 2 and two other Fukushima reactors in cold shutdown mode with cooler temperatures, suggested recent plumbing work in Unit 2 might be responsible for the sudden, mysterious heating. See NHK World and video.
February 6, 2012 – Two Oceans Existed On Mars?
“MARSIS penetrates deep into the ground, revealing the
first 60 to 80 meters of the planet’s subsurface. Throughout all of this depth,
we see the evidence for sedimentary material and ice.”
- Wlodek Kofman, Ph.D., Leader, Grenoble IPAG Radar Team
MARSIS radar on Mars Express gives strong evidence
for perhaps two ancient oceans in the northern plains of Mars.
The radar detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean
floor inside previously identified, ancient shorelines
on the red planet. Image credit: ESA, C. Carreau.
MARSIS radar data collected over two years of Martian orbits shows that the northern plains of Mars are covered with a low-density material interpreted to be ice-rich sedimentary deposits. The European Space Agency (ESA) reports two oceans have been proposed, including one about 4 billion years ago, and another 3 billion years ago. The ocean that occurred 4 billion years ago was during a time that Mars had warmer conditions. The second theorized ocean was during a time when subsurface ice melted after a large impact, which created outflow channels that drained the water into areas of low elevation. The water in the ocean would have either frozen back in place and been preserved underground, or turned into vapor within a million years or less. If the oceans existed for only a short geological time, the question remains: could life have started in ancient Mars? Also see: ESA.
February 2, 2012 – Interstellar Space Beyond

NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft was launched in 2008 to circle 200,000 miles above Earth and to study the chaotic boundary where the solar wind from the sun streams toward cold gases from interstellar space. IBEX data indicates “the interstellar region shows less oxygen than expected.” So, where is outer space oxygen? One idea is that interstellar oxygen might be “locked up in the dusty or icy grains that are in the local interstellar material” beyond our Sun’s solar wind bubble that protects this solar system.

- Arnaud Cassan, Ph.D., Institut de Astrophysique, Paris, France
A six-year survey of millions of stars using a microlensing technique found
that nearly every star has orbiting planets. The average number of planets per star
is more than one; thus, there are 100-plus billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
And there are billions of galaxies in this 13.7 billion-year-old universe.

Fourteen thousand people around the world tuned in to the 2 PM Geneva / 8 AM Eastern webcast (that had technical problems throughout) from CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, to hear if the illusive Higgs boson, or “God particle,” has been found in the Large Hadron Collider intense research of 2011. The answer is Not yet, but: “We observe an excess of events around 126 GeV (Giga electron Volts),” said Fabiola Gianotti, Ph.D., head of the ATLAS research, one of two major scientific and engineering teams trying to find a Higgs boson particle. The other is CMS headed by Guido Tonelli, who also reported that 124 – 126 GeV “is the region where, if you see excess events, there’s a hint that something is up.”

Airborne Nicotine-Based Insecticide Residues from
Pneumatic Drilling/Seeding Machines Kill Honey Bees
© 2012 by Linda Moulton Howe
“Experimental results show that the environmental release
of particles containing neonicotinoids can produce high exposure
levels for bees, with lethal effects compatible with colony
losses phenomena observed by beekeepers.”
- Andrea Tappar, Ph.D., Univ. of Padua, Italy
Western honey bee, or European honey bee
(Apis mellifera), gathering pollen from purple aster.
March 17, 2012 Padova, Italy – Back in February 2007, at the beginning of the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the first honey bee grower that Earthfiles interviewed was Dave Hackenberg, owner of Hackenberg Apiaries in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Dave and his family had been raising honey bees for half a century when he was shocked to find in the winter of 2006 to 2007 that nearly 80% of his honey bees disappeared or died. For the first time in his life, Dave went into debt to stay in business.
In our interviews about his honey bee crisis, Dave told me, “We’re trying to stay as far away from all those nicotine-based insecticides as we can until we figure out what this whole problem is about.”
Nicotine-based insecticides produced by Bayer of Germany first came on the world markets in the late 1990s. It didn’t take long for farmers to notice that honey bee populations declined where the nicotine-based insecticides such as Imidicloprid were used. That’s why Dave Hackenberg was suspicious that neonicotinoid insecticides were causing the honey bee die-offs.
A year later in July 2008, German beekeepers reported that 50 to 100 percent of their hives died after pneumatic equipment was used to spray and plant corn seed covered with nicotine-based insecticide that ended up blowing into the air and contaminating canola fields where the farmers’ honey bees were pollinating.
The next year in 2009, Germany suspended authorization to use the nicotine-based insecticide Clothianidin on corn because of growing concerns that neonicotinoid insecticides were killing honey bees.
Then Purdue University scientists in the United States found that dead honey bees in and around hives at several apiaries in Indiana showed the presence of the neonicotinoid insecticides. Other research carried out on honey bees in laboratories has shown that neonicotinoids build up in the central nervous system of the insect, so that very small doses over a long time period can kill honey bees.
Now in the January 31, 2012, issue of the American Chemical Society’s journal, Environmental Science Technology, Italian scientists from the University of Padua report their “Assessment of the Environmental Exposure of Honeybees to Particulate Matter Containing Neonicotinoid Insecticides Coming from Corn Coated Seeds.” See Websites below.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia - “Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides which act on the central nervous system of insects with lower toxicity to mammals. Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used insecticides worldwide, but recently the uses of some members of this class have been restricted in some countries due to a connection to honey-bee colony collapse disorder.”]
The science team lead by Andrea Tappar, Ph.D., writes: “Since seed coating with neonicotinoid insecticides [ Clothianidin; Imidicloprid] was introduced in the late 1990s, European beekeepers have reported severe colony losses in the period of corn sowing (spring). As a consequence, seed-coating neonicotinoid insecticides that are used worldwide on corn crops have been blamed for honeybee decline. In view of the currently increasing crop production, and also of corn as a renewable energy source, the correct use of these insecticides within sustainable agriculture is a cause of concern.”

insecticide on corn seeds during planting.
“A probable route of environmental exposure of honeybees to and intoxication with neonicotinoid insecticides, namely, the atmospheric emission of particulate matter containing the nicotine-based insecticide by drilling machines, has been quantitatively studied. Using optimized analytical procedures, quantitative measurements of both the emitted particulate and the consequent direct contamination of single bees approaching the drilling machine during the foraging activity have been determined. Experimental results show that the environmental release of particles containing neonicotinoids can produce high exposure levels for bees, with lethal effects compatible with colony losses phenomena observed by beekeepers.”
In August 2008, the Natural Resources Defense Council, a New York environmental advocacy group, filed a lawsuit against the federal Environmental Protection Agency accusing the agency of withholding information about the risks pesticides such as the nicotine-based Clothianidin pose to honeybees.
On December 8, 2010, several environmental groups and bee keeping organizations wrote to the EPA citing “imminent hazards” to honey bees in continued use of nicotine-based insecticides and urged the agency to “issue a a stop use order immediately” for Clothianidin. In a response dated February 18, 2011, the EPA declined and stated:
“At this time, we are not aware of any data that reasonably demonstrates that bee colonies are subject to elevated losses due to chronic exposure to this pesticide. Based on EPA’s thorough review of the scientific information, EPA does not intend at this time to initiate suspension or cancellation actions against the registered uses of Clothianidin.”
Contrary to EPA’s self-assessment, James Frazier, Ph.D., Professor of Entomology at Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, who began studying Colony Collapse Disorder back in 2007, warns:
“Among the neonicotinoids, Clothianidin is among those most toxic for honey bees; and this combined with its systemic movement in plants has produced a troubling mix of scientific results pointing to its potential risk for honey bees through current agricultural practices. Our own research indicates that systemic pesticides occur in pollen and nectar in much greater quantities than has been previously thought, and that interactions among pesticides.”
EPA gave Clothianidin a “conditional registration” in 2003, when health and safety data are lacking in the case of a new pesticide, allowing companies to sell the pesticide before EPA gets safety data. Unfortunately, it is a common i the Environmental Protection Agency for its Office of Pesticide Programs to allow products to be sold with conditional registrations for many years before test results are completed. The Natural Resources Defense Council reports that of 16,000 current product registrations, 11,000 (68%) have been conditionally registered.
Tom Theobald, owner of Niwot Honey Farm in Niwot, Colorado, told Earthfiles in January 2011, after joining his fellow beekeepers in their urgent request to EPA to ban the use of Clothianidin, “I think fundamentally this is an EPA management failure. The EPA’s fundamental charter is the prevention of unreasonable damage to humans and the environment. Their role is protection. But what has happened is they have turned the environment into the experiment and we have all become the experimental subjects. These things should have been resolved before these products ever went on the market!”

What Was Mysterious Dark Circle Near Sun?
© 2012 by Linda Moulton Howe
“As part of coronal mass ejections (CME) from quiet
Sun regions (not from magnetically active regions with sunspots in them),
we believe there often is a big sausage-shaped structure floating above the solar
surface, underneath which a curtain of cool, dense material exists.”
- Karel Schrijver, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, AIA Instrument,
NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory
See 21-second YouTube edited mp3 video excerpted from hours-long
solar video on March 11, 2012. Original video from NASA’s Solar Dynamic
Observatory (SDO) and its Atmospheric Image Assembly (AIA) based in the Lockheed
Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), Palo Alto, California. AIA provides
full-disk imaging of the Sun in several ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet (EUV)
band passes at high spatial and temporal resolution. See SDO AIA.
March 15, 2012 Palo Alto, California, and Huntsville, Alabama – Recently YouTube videos about the March 11, 2012, solar event above were buzzed about on the internet because everyone wondered what the big “circle,” or “sphere” was and what it was doing with the dark tendril extending down to the surface of the sun. The original source of the video is NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) and its Atmospheric Image Assembly (AIA) based in the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), Palo Alto, California.
On March 14, I took the mystery to solar physicists at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado. No one there had ever seen such video before, but Rodney Viereck, Ph.D., Section Leader in NOAA’s Research and Customer Requirements Section, said he thought it was related to conditions around a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and suggested I contact Karel Schrijver, Ph. D., Principal Investigator of the AIA instrument on the Solar Dynamic Observatory that also carries two other instruments, HMI and EVE, each with its own science team.
I asked him electronically: “NOAA’s Rodney Viereck, Ph.D., solar physicist, suggested I email you the short SDO video below that I also sent him from March 11, 2012, in my inquiry as a science reporter about what was happening with the dark tendril that extends to a dark, curved area?”
21-second YouTube edited mp3 video
Dr. Schrijver replied: “What we are looking at in this movie is a fairly common feature [coronal cavity], but in an unusual configuration so that we see it much more clearly than otherwise often is the case. As part of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from quiet Sun regions (i.e., not from magnetically active regions with sunspots in them), we believe there often is a big sausage-shaped structure floating above the solar surface, underneath which a curtain of cool, dense material exists. The sausage if often rather empty; that is, it is a dark void. When such a void is curved, we don’t see it quite as clearly because we would be looking through the void and the surrounding bright background corona. In this case, it appears that the void is a rather straight cylinder, oriented such that we are looking right along its spine and hence the rather clearly defined dark void.
“Our scientific colleagues do not fully understand what happens underneath such voids, but they are often associated with fairly cool, dense material that absorbs the coronal glow (and thus looks dark). When looked at from the side, this forms a moving wall of solar gases that move up and down in a complex pattern (called a filament or prominence). In this case, we look straight along its length also, so that it looks like a string connecting void to surface.
“The movie shows the void rising ever faster (as part of a corona mass ejection). The magnetic field underneath it is stretched like rubber bands, which at some point break, and partly retract back to the Sun, partly follow the coronal mass ejection.
“I have attached another movie below with a better coverage (so that the cavity and filament do not vanish from one frame to the next, but are seen to rise rapidly but fairly smoothly).”
March 11, 2012, SDO/AIA video at approximately 12 hours U.T. as magnetic field filament
erupts into coronal mass ejection and the coronal cavity disappears. MP4 video from Karel Schrijver, SDO/AIA.
I also talked about the video with David Hathaway, Ph.D., Solar Physicist and Heliospheric Team Leader at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Hathaway recognized the image as a coronal cavity where a magnetic filament formed – what some web viewers were calling the “umbilical cord.”
David Hathaway, Ph.D., Solar Physicist and Heliospheric Team Leader at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama: “What people are calling the ‘umbilical cord’ – that dark filament feature – it’s dark because it’s absorbing the x-rays. It’s cool and dense and if we had the same images at the same time from one of the other filters such as Helium 304, that feature would have appeared bright instead of dark. It’s emitting light from plasma at a much cooler temperature.
What happens is that there are magnetic configurations on the sun where the hot material – this is at a million degrees+ in the corona – can condense out into these magnetic structures and form filaments that appear dark against the solar disc in most wavelengths. So I think this is a coronal cavity from which the magnetic filament has condensed.
[ Editor’s Note: The surface, or photosphere, of the sun is about 10,000° Fahrenheit (5,500° Celsius). Cool, dark areas of magnetic disturbance that erupt on the photosphere, called sunspots, are only about 6,700° Fahrenheit (4,000° Celsius).
The layer of the sun's atmosphere that lies just beyond the photosphere, called the chromosphere, is only about 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) thick. Where it meets the photosphere, the chromosphere is about 7,800° Fahrenheit (4,300° Celsius). The temperature rises throughout the chromosphere. Where the chromosphere merges with the sun's outermost atmospheric layer, the corona, it is about 180,000° Fahrenheit (100,000° Celsius). Temperatures rise to 3,600,000° Fahrenheit (2,000,000° Celsius) in the part of the corona that's farthest from the sun. The sun is hottest at its center—about 27,000,000° Fahrenheit (15,000,000° Celsius). Sources: Abell, George O. Realm of the Universe, 5th ed., pp. 225-28; Asimov, Isaac. Isaac Asimov's Guide to Earth and Space, pp. 159-61; Moore, Patrick. Atlas of the Solar System, p. 19. ]
WHAT IS A CORONAL CAVITY?
It’s a place where coronal material has cooled down and condensed into magnetic structures in the form of a filament, the ‘umbilical cord.’ If you look at the filament itself, you can see the material in it twisting around and at the end of the short little clip that you sent me, you see this thing erupt. And that often happens. A filament eruption is another type of solar eruption along with solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). But the filament is cooler material. That’s the odd part, but late in the video movie you see the whole thing erupt. You can actually see the filament take off and that cavity disappears.
WHY IS THE CORONAL CAVITY SO CIRCULAR?
That’s the surprising thing to me – how circular it is, so symmetrical. Temperature is certainly a part of it. Temperature is definitely why we can see the dark filament between the coronal cavity and the sun’s surface. The material in the filament is dark because instead of being at a million degrees, it’s only at 100,000 degrees. It’s much cooler. Part of the coronal cavity is really less dense material there because that part of the corona is being drawn off into the magnetic filament. So the dark cavity is a combination of temperature and less density. Other coronal cavities wouldn’t be as symmetrical as this one, so it’s an exceptional example. But there is often a coronal cavity underlying a CME and often a magnetic filament associated with a CME. There was a smooth, oval-shaped coronal cavity photographed in 2002 before a coronal mass ejection.
July 22, 2002 image of an oval-shaped coronal cavity in bright area on right before
a coronal mass ejection. Image by High Altitude Observatory, NCAR, Boulder, Colorado.
HOW LONG DID THE MARCH 11, 2012, CORONAL CAVITY AND FILAMENT LAST?
The video clip you sent me shows that the filament erupted and the sphere disappeared at about 12 hours Universal Time (UT) on March 11, 2012. The movie I saw has a time stamp starting about 6 hours UT.
SO IT WAS AN EVENT THAT LASTED AT LEAST SIX HOURS.
It might have been longer than that because in the video where it starts, the circle and filament are already there, so it might have been there prior to the start of the video.
Edits in the SDO Videos On YouTube
IN THE YOUTUBE SHORT 20-SECOND VIDEO I EMAILED YOU, THERE ARE EDITS IN THE TIME STAMPS. DOES NASA’S SDO/AIA EDIT ANY OF THE VIDEOTAPES THAT ARE GOING OUT TO THE WEB?
I’m pretty sure that most of it is all mechanized. We are constantly downloading these images from SDO through a receiving station at White Sands, New Mexico. They have computer scripts that are written to automatically accumulate the images and turn them into a movie.
I don’t think there is an awful lot of human interaction as to let’s take that image and that image. It’s a program something like take every 5th image and put them together over the last 48 hours and put it on the web. And then do it again and again and again.
SO SDO/AIA ARE NOT EDITING THEIR SOLAR VIDEOS. THE EDITING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOWNLOADING SDO VIDEOS AND PUTTING EXCERPTS ON YOUTUBE?
Certainly there are some jumps in the NASA data, but certainly anyone who posts data on YouTube is capable of editing out bits and pieces so that the video goes quicker.
The human employees don’t have time all day to put together the SDO movies that are new every 48 hours! Also, there is a movie for each of the filters! So it’s all mechanized as far as a computer script that accumulates images and runs it through a program that turns it into a movie and posts it at the SDO website in different filter options.”
What’s A Coronal Hole?
The next day on March 12, 2012, after the unusual coronal cavity and magnetic filament event, the sun produced a triangle-shaped coronal hole that is also considered an unusual shape. Coronal holes are defined by the magnetic fields that are coming straight off the sun into the solar system and not looping back into the sun, as Dr. Hathaway points out.
March 12, 2012, at 22:28:00 UTC, coronal hole triangular pattern image provided
by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, Boulder, Colorado.
David Hathaway, Ph.D.: “A coronal hole is where you are looking down on the sun and at these instrument wavelengths like the NOAA image above, the coronal hole appears dark because the solar material is thinner and the magnetic field lines are coming off the sun out into the solar system. So the sun’s magnetic field does not trap that coronal material and keep it near the sun’s surface. In a coronal hole, the magnetic field lines are threaded out into the solar system and the material escapes off the surface of the sun in the form of the solar wind. That’s why a coronal hole looks dark to us.
SDO: Closest Humans Have Ever
Watched the Sun All the Time
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a NASA mission launched on
February 11, 2010, to observe the Sun constantly and closely until 2015. Four sets of mirrors
were built by the Smithsonian for the NASA solar mission. Illustration by NASA.
ARE YOU SEEING THE SUN NOW IN A SURPRISING WAY BECAUSE SDO IS SHOWING SUCH CLEAR IMAGES ALL THE TIME?
Since its launch two years ago, the nice thing about SDO is that it sees the whole sun in detail immediately. SOHO takes hours to process its data, but you can go to SDO and see the sun from one minute ago!
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO WEB VIEWERS WHO ARE WATCHING SDO, SEE A CIRCLE OF DARKNESS OR A TRIANGLE-SHAPED CORONAL HOLE AND WANT A REALITY CHECK?
I think they need to recognize that all of the features we see in the sun’s corona have their origin in magnetic fields – whether it’s like the circle or the triangle, ultimately it’s associated with a magnetic field configuration. There’s enough complexity there, we’ve even seen a duck pattern and all sorts of things in the coronal holes.
For certain, the circle configuration was exceptional in that Wow! It’s got a really sharp edge and very circular. That is unusual.”

Subject: Interesting UFO in Photo, Mammoth Ski Resort
Date: March 6, 2012

Dear Linda,
I was given your name and address by a friend who has heard you on radio – I believe the “Coast to Coast” radio program. I am sending you two attached jpeg pics my brother’s wife took during a ski vacation eight years ago in February 2004, at the Mammoth ski resort, a famous ski spot for Californians.
Mammoth Mountain ski resort is the upper left red circle. Across the border into Nevada not far to the southeast is the Nellis Air Force Range Nevada Test Site and its famous Area 51 associated with UFO technologies and bodies north of Las Vegas. West of Las Vegas are the Navy’s China Lake Naval Weapons Center near Ridgecrest (red circle at map center), the Army’s Fort Irwin and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms northeast of Los Angeles.
My brother and family were on the middle of a ski slope, making their way down the mountain, when they stopped for a family pic. My brother’s wife is the photographer in the family. My sister-in-law snapped two pictures back-to-back (automatic SLR camera).
As for the taking of the actual photos in question, my brother’s wife was stooping down to take this first picture with the camera in the “landscape” orientation at 9:35:32 AM, on February 19, 2004, at the Mammoth Ski resort. The picture is of my brother and his two kids, but I have pixelated their faces for privacy reasons. The rest of the photo is untouched (ie. not photoshopped) and neither is the second photo.

Thursday morning, February 19, 2004, at 9:35:32 AM (according to camera’s

2nd Mammoth, California Ski Photo – Disc Above Mountain
February 19, 2004
9:35:43 AM
After taking that first photo, she then stood up, turned the camera 90 degrees, and
11 seconds later took the next picture from a “portrait” orientation. It’s that second photo which has the anomaly. As you can see, the clouds, trees, mountains, and markings on the snow are the same in both pics. There’s just one thing additional in the second pic….the craft above the mountain line. Strange!
Thursday morning, February 19, 2004, at 9:35:43 AM (according to our camera’s
original time stamp) at the Mammoth Ski Resort in California.There is no lodge or building structure near them. The object is well above the ski lift, and over an open valley. The sun is reflecting off the object at the same angle as sunshine on the mountain behind the disc. I asked my brother if someone threw something into the air above the slope from him, or from the ski lift. He said, “No way! The ski lift doesn’t come close to where we were standing on the mountain, plus the object is not over us; it’s out over the valley, between us and the background mountain.”
Cropped close-up of disc craft by Earthfiles.As soon as the family returns from the event/vacation, my brother’s wife doesn’t take long to upload pictures from the camera to her computer. She was going through the ski pics after uploading them when she spotted the weird object (silver disc) in the one picture and called my brother into the study to take a look. He chuckled and said something about it being bizarre. It looked like a hat, but was too shiny, and really was too high in altitude, and too far from other people to be a hat thrown into the air. Upon increasing the magnification it didn’t really get any clearer for him, but he’s convinced it’s metallic due to the reflection from the sun. The pic still remains on his wife’s computer.

Hello Linda
I have listened to your broadcasts on Coast to Coast AM several times. I am writing to tell you about a wonderful experience my husband and I shared in August of 2011. We live in Vaudreuil, Quebec, Canada, a suburb about 15 miles west of downtown Montreal.
Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada, southwest of Montreal (upper right red circle).
The New York state border is the grey line that runs horizontally
and then southwest along the St. Lawrence River between Canada and U. S.Last summer my husband and I started sitting outside back of our house after dark and watching the skies with 7×50 wide angle binoculars. Just about every night there were bright lights crossing the sky, some of which were likely satellites. However, on several occasions we witnessed those lights changing directions, lighting up or traveling in pairs. Definitely not satellites.
Well Linda, this one particular mid-August 2011 night we had a sighting that we will remember for the rest of our lives and I wish so much that I could experience again. We were sitting beside each other facing east. It was 9:20 PM. We had been watching the skies for about an hour when I put my binoculars on my lap and turned to look at my husband who just then cried out, “What the F#$ am I looking at?!!?”
I swooped up my binoculars and looked up and there they were. The single most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life!! Three – not one – but THREE diamond-shaped craft coming right towards us out of the east. They flew right over our heads so close I felt like through the binoculars I could reach up and touch them. As they crossed over head I jumped up, spun around never taking my eyes off them and watched them continue west. Now without the binoculars, they were clearly visible to the naked eye.
Top three triangles sketched the way the craft looked
“approaching from the East.” Middle three triangles sketched
the way they looked “directly overhead.” Bottom three triangles
sketched the way the craft looked “as they veered up and to
the north.” Estimated length was 100 feet and width 75 feet.
Illustration by Carole of diamond craft as they moved
above
the home in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada, in August 2011.At that very moment a commercial airliner came out of the west and the three craft swooped up and veered right at an incredible speed and disappeared into the night sky. The airplane then crossed overhead and within 2-3 minutes what my husband and I believed to be 2 military jets shot across the sky behind our house. We have never before seen military jets in the sky around our home, nor since.
Additional comments in March 10, 2012 email with the illustration above:
I am attaching a pencil and crayon sketch of the craft we saw – as close a rendition as I was able to sketch.
We had a front/underside view of the crafts as they approached, an underside view as they passed directly overhead and a back/underside view as they continued west bound. Our view of the side/top was only for a fleeting moment as the crafts flew up and veered right (north) before disappearing. My impression was that the tops of the crafts would have sloped up only slightly to form a pyramid shape, but again the view of the top/side was so brief that I may be mistaken.
Their color. The best way I can describe the color and appearance would be…do you remember the glow in the dark plastic rings or toys we had as children? We would close ourselves in the closet to see them glow. The craft appeared to be lit from the interior. They were a luminescent creamy yellow color – almost transparent but not – yet you could not mistake that they were of solid structure. They were not organic, they did not morf or change appearance. The color/glow remained consistent. They did not have any bright spot lights, no blinking or flashing, no strobing.
Linda they were absolutely beautiful! I would estimate their size each to have been 75ft wide x 100ft long. This would be an estimate though, they may have been larger, they were definitely not smaller. They were completely silent.
As mentioned in my original email, they came from the east in a formation and all three were clearly visible – each beside each other but slightly back from the first.
As they flew directly overhead they had aligned side by side # # # and continued in this formation as they flew west and we watched them without binoculars. My impression about the triangles was they were friendlies, intelligent, and I believe they knew we were watching and they had come for our benefit. This fly by/over was a performance for us!
When the commercial aircraft appeared flying directly towards the craft/us, the crafts increased altitude. The craft that would have been at the far right, the one that had led the way in, veered north with the remaining two following immediately. All three disappeared.
Within only a few moments we were astounded to see two military jets flying from east to west. They went overhead as did the craft but they continued westward and did not veer north as the craft had done. These were absolutely military jets. There was no mistaking the sound of the engines and we even saw what we thought were the after-burners.
This event took place above our home in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada, on August 18, 2011. When I finally stopped cheering, waving my hands in the air and dancing all over the patio, I came to my senses and remembered to ask my husband what time he had on his watch. It was 9:22 p.m.
The entire event took place over 2-3 minutes, from the moment we spotted the three glorious craft to the time the military flew overhead.
Strange Sounds
The following emails are about strange sounds, beginning with important comments from a Seattle flight engineer about my February 28, 2012 Earthfiles “Strange Sounds in Washington State.” On Thursday, February 23, 2012, a low rumbling sound was heard in Arlington, Washington, from the morning through the night, growing in intensity at 7 PM, loud enough to cause several eyewitnesses to say it vibrated bones in their chests. Arlington is about 20 miles north of Everett; about 35 miles southeast of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Oak Harbor; and some 50 miles north of Seattle.
Arlington, Everett and Yakima are three Washington state cities
where people have heard strange sounds in February 2012. Arlington is about 20 miles
north of Everett; about 35 miles southeast of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (below)
and Oak Harbor; and some 50 miles north of Seattle. Arlington is about 185 miles from Yakima,
site of U. S. Marine Corps, Army Reserves and Washington National Guard.
Some 35 miles southwest of Arlington is the Naval Air Station
Whidbey Island (NASWI), Washington, a naval air station located in three
geographically separate facilities on the northern third of Whidbey Island
and Oak Harbor. NASWI was commissioned as an active U.S. Navy
installation on September 21, 1942. The main portion of the base is called
Ault Field; a second section is the Seaplane Base; the third section is Naval
Outlying Landing Field (NOLF) south of Ault Field primarily used for Field
Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) by carrier-based jet aircraft. NASWI
currently supports MH-60S Seahawk helicopters, EA-18G Growlers,
EA-6B Prowlers, P-3C Orions, EP-3E ARIES IIs and C-9 Skytrain aircraft.

Subject: Roaring noise in Seattle area
Date: March 5, 2012
To: earthfiles@earthfiles.com
Hello Linda:
In reference to the low rumbling sounds reported in Arlington near Seattle, Washington -
I, too, heard the sound(s). Until a very short time ago I worked for a company in Seattle, and I live within one mile of an aerospace corporation’s airport and 4 miles from Seatac Airport. As a flight engineer, I have flown on all of the aircraft tested at a large aerospace company. I am acutely aware of jet engine sounds.I also heard the rumbling on at least two occasions reported on your Earthfiles web site. At first I thought they were jet engine testing, but I immediately knew it could not be testing since there are strict noise abatement hours for engine testing. These sounds occurred outside of the hours allowed. It struck me as odd that these loud noises were so deep, extended, and beyond what I have ever heard in my flight engineer work before. In retrospect, I don’t think they came from an airport. They seemed low in altitude, but I cannot explain why I think that.
This is definitely a mystery, and I doubt we’ll know what caused it. But I can say what it was not. It was not originating at either airport here in Seattle. So it was either high up, or something otherwise. It was not a military fighter jet – I know those engines. I am also a musician and perhaps that’s why I noticed it, but it was quite loud. Anyone could hear it. In fact, it was annoyingly loud and I thought it was breaking noise abatement rules. The closest sound to compare it to might be a rocket engine?
Please do not publish my name or email or occupation. Due to career/reputation issues, I wish to remain anonymous.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (upper left red circle)
is about 1400 miles northwest of Montreal, Canada.
Hello Linda:
It is 1:30 AM and I am in Winnipeg, Canada. I have been awake for the past hour and a half because the noises in the sky outside are coming through triple pane glass windows into my home. I am sleeping on the second floor and It sounds like a jet engine is revving continuously and the rumbling moves across the sky. In the last hour and a half, I have seen only one airplane fly overhead.
I am a teacher and I have had students tell me their families are hearing this type of sound on an ongoing basis – and some adolescents are becoming unnerved. Would love to find an explanation for this.

Subject: Can Confirm Rumbling Sounds In San Bernardino In 2011
Date: February 24, 2012
To: Linda Moulton Howe earthfiles@earthfiles.com
Hi Linda -
Yes, I’ve heard about these sounds being heard all over after the 2012 New Year, but I had an experience very similar to some of the videos on You Tube. I was stunned after viewing the videos and felt wow! what I experienced IS “something.” In 2011, I twice heard super loud sounds that I would compare with a jet engine (each time the sound was the same), but it was so loud – it was everywhere – a constant volume for about I’d say 25 minutes. I thought at first it was a plane about to crash or flying extremely low since I live about two miles from what was Norton Air Force Base and is now San Bernardino International Airport.
San Bernardino (far left red circle) is north of Riverside, California, and southwest of
the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms (far right red circle).After seeing no plane, I thought it might have been some planes firing up their jets, but I knew it was too loud to be that. Though when I heard it, I even knew then it was something very unusual and strange. Others heard it as well.
I didn’t inquire with authorities, but watched the San Bernardino Sun the next few days to see if anyone had reported hearing the strange sound. Nothing. I know authorities must have heard it – because it seemed to encompass the whole city. I was stupid and didn’t record it through video or sonically. If I hear it again, I will record it. This was not imagined nor only myself hearing it. There were no earthquakes. I figured it had something to do with the airport since it seemed to be coming from that direction – but it was ultra loud.
I can see the airport from where I live quite well and even brought out the binoculars and didn’t see any jets or blimps (we sometimes have them – thought even they could be filling one with air/gas) but nothing. Very interesting – since hearing the other sounds on YouTube I have been waiting to hear it again. No luck so far. This is a real phenomenon. What it means I have no idea, but nothing strange happened associated with the sound either before or afterward. Curious to see if you have any other people in my area who have heard it. I don’t recall dates, just remember that the sound was so loud I could hear it inside a building easily. When it remained constant, it alarmed me – but since nothing happened, I just went about my business after listening for about 5 minutes. I did notice the sound did not end for about 25 minutes. It made a definite impression.

Starting at the top of the red circles, Oak Harbor is the site of the Naval Air Station
Whidbey Island (NASWI) about 35 miles northwest of Arlington, Washington,

the low rumbling sounds were heard and recorded on February 23, 2012. [ See email 2 above.]
Other strange sound locations have been Everett south of Arlington;
Seattle about 50 miles south of Arlington; Tacoma and Olympia.
Hi Linda,
Just checking up on C2C when I noticed people were hearing strange sounds throughout Washington state last month. While I don’t have any audio evidence, I did hear this sound back in January 2012, at my residence in Olympia, WA. It corresponds with one of your other emails as it was around 2:30 AM when I noticed the noise outside. It sounded EXACTLY like your audio clips from Arlington, WA. [ Editor's Note: See audio clips in email 2 above.]I thought there was construction work going on somewhere in the vicinity, as I live just north of Lacey where a lot of urban sprawl is happening. But it was that constant low noise and didn’t stop. I just feel asleep through it. It was gone by morning. I also thought it could be something going on at Joint Base Lewis McChord, about 20 miles east. They sometimes do bomb drills at night (great for sleeping within an hour radius, I’m sure). I hope we can get down to the bottom of this. I’m very curious.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia - "Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) (IATA: TCM, ICAO: KTCM, FAA LID: TCM) (IATA: GRF, ICAO: KGRF, FAA LID: GRF) is a United States military facility located 9.1 miles (14.6 km) south-southwest of Tacoma, Washington. The facility is under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Joint Base Garrison, Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
The facility is an amalgamation of the United States Army Fort Lewis and the United States Air Force McChord Air Force Base which were merged on 1 February 2010." ]

Hello, Linda. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, in December 2011, I was @ work near Spring Mountain Valley View around 3 to 4 AM.
Spring Mountain Road and South Valley View Blvd. are upper left red circle. Downtown Las Vegas and the So. Las Vegas Blvd. casino strip are lower right red circle.
I and a friend were consumed with fear by an extremely loud horn sound. It seemed to be coming from the sky from the south, starting almost like a train horn out in the night, but quickly became an all consuming apocalyptic heralding trumpet/tuba/fog horn sound. I am not religious, but amazingly I found some that night.
The sounds from Kiev, Ukraine are the closest thing to what we heard. Whether it’s God – or a DARPA program – or not, I don’t know. Either way, I think it means a change, it doesn’t feel like it’s for the better, is coming. Keep up the incredible work.

To: earthfiles@earthfiles.com
Dear Linda
I’ve just listened to your report on Coast 2 Coast about the Unexplained Sounds. I’ve heard the videos on You Tube and they are disturbing and interesting. The reason I’m writing you is that I, too, have experienced a strange sound and it was about two weeks ago which would take us back to around the week of February 13, 2012. I live in Hanoverton, Ohio, which is a small town and very rural. I live on a highway in the rural area and traffic on this road is pretty quiet till about 4:30-5:00 AM.
Hanoverton, Ohio, is the lower left red circle south of Lake Erie, about 75 miles
southeast of Cleveland, and southwest of Toronto and Montreal, Canada.It was the sound of “white noise and high pitched grinding” and it woke me out of a sound sleep between 2:30-3:00 am EST. Now it didn’t last long, but I woke up with the “awareness” of this sound and totally “awake”; no grogginess. I rose up to get out of bed to investigate because it seemed to be all around – and then it was gone.
I didn’t make the connection to the “world sounds” at that time but I felt like “I was suppose to hear this,” like it was a message. I’ve not thought this until I listened to your report tonight and it hit me when other’s talked of the “white noise and the TV mumblings” – this seemed to be what I heard. Thanks Linda, love your reports, your website, watching you on Ancient Aliens and love all you do on Coast 2 Coast. Keep up the great work to keep us all “AWARE” of what is going on.
Updated 031512: More Unexplained Loud Booms,
Now in Georgia and Alabama
Subject: Powerful Boom in Southeastern Georgia
Date: March 15, 2012
To: earthfiles@earthfiles.com
Linda, This morning at around 8:28 am, a large explosion or boom was heard over Brunswick GA. This boom shook window and doors throughout the entire county. Upon further reports, it was felt from as far west as 10 miles west of Waycross GA, south to Folkston GA, and north to Savannah GA. A local radio call in show on WGIG, 1440 AM took calls from people that heard and felt this large event. I just wanted you to be aware of what has happened here and maybe help shed some light on this event. If you need any more information, do not hesitate to contact me. Regards, Brunswick, Georgia Resident
March 15, 2012, TV headline by News4Jax.com, Jacksonville, Georgia.
The five southeastern Georgia counties where the very loud, window-rattling boom was heard on March 15, 2012, between 8:15 AM and 8:30 AM were Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Glynn and McIntosh Counties, marked with red circles in map below.

was heard on March 15, 2012, between 8:15 AM and 8:30 AM were
Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Glynn and McIntosh Counties
News4Jax.com reported that the USGS Geological Survey had no seismic evidence of an earthquake and the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay said they “were not conducting any operations that would have caused a sonic boom or explosion. Channel 4 checked with the Navy and Marines, which said there were two F/A-18 Super Hornets flying over Georgia at the time, but they were nowhere close to the speed of sound. The FAA told Channel 4 the agency had no record of any aircraft going supersonic in the 5-county area on Thursday morning.
The loud boom mystery has persisted in many states for a long time. See related Earthfiles Archive reports below.
The fact that the loud booms continue over time without any explanation is increasingly troubling to affected residents such as Brunswick police officer Todd Rhodes, who told Channel 4, “We haven’t heard anything and that’s sad. So many people here have felt the booms and we don’t have a clue what it was.”
Loud “Explosions” in Chilton and Bibb Counties, Alabama
Birmingham News online, March 6, 2012.
On March 6, 2012, the 911 dispatchers in Chilton County, Alabama, south of Birmingham, received some 100 reports from all over the county “of loud explosions and walls of homes suddenly shaking.” The 911 director, Dan Wright, told the Birmingham News that he was in his home at about 4:30 PM when, “I felt the ground shaking and I heard this loud rumbling. My garage door started shaking and it sounded like it was falling down.” In Bibb County to the west of Chilton County, the 911 dispatcher also received about half a dozen calls reporting similar booms and shakes.
Birmingham News online, March 7, 2012.
The next day on March 7, 2012, the Birmingham News reported that the Federal Aviation Administration “found no records of any flights Tuesday afternoon, March 6, that could have caused a sonic boom in central Alabama.” An FAA spokesperson explained civilian planes don’t fly fast enough to cause a sonic boom – only military aircraft could do that. But a spokesman for Maxwell-Gunter AFB in Montgomery denied any of its aircraft were flying faster than the speed of sound.

March 15, 2012 Palo Alto, California, and Huntsville, Alabama – Recently YouTube videos about the March 11, 2012, solar event above were buzzed about on the internet because everyone wondered what the big “circle,” or “sphere” was and what it was doing with the dark tendril extending down to the surface of the sun. The original source of the video is NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) and its Atmospheric Image Assembly (AIA) based in the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), Palo Alto, California.
On March 14, I took the mystery to solar physicists at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado. No one there had ever seen such video before, but Rodney Viereck, Ph.D., Section Leader in NOAA’s Research and Customer Requirements Section, said he thought it was related to conditions around a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and suggested I contact Karel Schrijver, Ph. D., Principal Investigator of the AIA instrument on the Solar Dynamic Observatory that also carries two other instruments, HMI and EVE, each with its own science team.
I asked him electronically: “NOAA’s Rodney Viereck, Ph.D., solar physicist, suggested I email you the short SDO video below that I also sent him from March 11, 2012, in my inquiry as a science reporter about what was happening with the dark tendril that extends to a dark, curved area?”

Dr. Schrijver replied: “What we are looking at in this movie is a fairly common feature [coronal cavity], but in an unusual configuration so that we see it much more clearly than otherwise often is the case. As part of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from quiet Sun regions (i.e., not from magnetically active regions with sunspots in them), we believe there often is a big sausage-shaped structure floating above the solar surface, underneath which a curtain of cool, dense material exists. The sausage if often rather empty; that is, it is a dark void. When such a void is curved, we don’t see it quite as clearly because we would be looking through the void and the surrounding bright background corona. In this case, it appears that the void is a rather straight cylinder, oriented such that we are looking right along its spine and hence the rather clearly defined dark void.
“Our scientific colleagues do not fully understand what happens underneath such voids, but they are often associated with fairly cool, dense material that absorbs the coronal glow (and thus looks dark). When looked at from the side, this forms a moving wall of solar gases that move up and down in a complex pattern (called a filament or prominence). In this case, we look straight along its length also, so that it looks like a string connecting void to surface.
“The movie shows the void rising ever faster (as part of a corona mass ejection). The magnetic field underneath it is stretched like rubber bands, which at some point break, and partly retract back to the Sun, partly follow the coronal mass ejection.
“I have attached another movie below with a better coverage (so that the cavity and filament do not vanish from one frame to the next, but are seen to rise rapidly but fairly smoothly).”

I also talked about the video with David Hathaway, Ph.D., Solar Physicist and Heliospheric Team Leader at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Hathaway recognized the image as a coronal cavity where a magnetic filament formed – what some web viewers were calling the “umbilical cord.”
David Hathaway, Ph.D., Solar Physicist and Heliospheric Team Leader at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama: “What people are calling the ‘umbilical cord’ – that dark filament feature – it’s dark because it’s absorbing the x-rays. It’s cool and dense and if we had the same images at the same time from one of the other filters such as Helium 304, that feature would have appeared bright instead of dark. It’s emitting light from plasma at a much cooler temperature.
What happens is that there are magnetic configurations on the sun where the hot material – this is at a million degrees+ in the corona – can condense out into these magnetic structures and form filaments that appear dark against the solar disc in most wavelengths. So I think this is a coronal cavity from which the magnetic filament has condensed.
[ Editor’s Note: The surface, or photosphere, of the sun is about 10,000° Fahrenheit (5,500° Celsius). Cool, dark areas of magnetic disturbance that erupt on the photosphere, called sunspots, are only about 6,700° Fahrenheit (4,000° Celsius).
The layer of the sun's atmosphere that lies just beyond the photosphere, called the chromosphere, is only about 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) thick. Where it meets the photosphere, the chromosphere is about 7,800° Fahrenheit (4,300° Celsius). The temperature rises throughout the chromosphere. Where the chromosphere merges with the sun's outermost atmospheric layer, the corona, it is about 180,000° Fahrenheit (100,000° Celsius). Temperatures rise to 3,600,000° Fahrenheit (2,000,000° Celsius) in the part of the corona that's farthest from the sun. The sun is hottest at its center—about 27,000,000° Fahrenheit (15,000,000° Celsius). Sources: Abell, George O. Realm of the Universe, 5th ed., pp. 225-28; Asimov, Isaac.

WHAT IS A CORONAL CAVITY?
It’s a place where coronal material has cooled down and condensed into magnetic structures in the form of a filament, the ‘umbilical cord.’ If you look at the filament itself, you can see the material in it twisting around and at the end of the short little clip that you sent me, you see this thing erupt. And that often happens. A filament eruption is another type of solar eruption along with solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). But the filament is cooler material. That’s the odd part, but late in the video movie you see the whole thing erupt. You can actually see the filament take off and that cavity disappears.
WHY IS THE CORONAL CAVITY SO CIRCULAR?
That’s the surprising thing to me – how circular it is, so symmetrical. Temperature is certainly a part of it. Temperature is definitely why we can see the dark filament between the coronal cavity and the sun’s surface. The material in the filament is dark because instead of being at a million degrees, it’s only at 100,000 degrees. It’s much cooler. Part of the coronal cavity is really less dense material there because that part of the corona is being drawn off into the magnetic filament. So the dark cavity is a combination of temperature and less density. Other coronal cavities wouldn’t be as symmetrical as this one, so it’s an exceptional example. But there is often a coronal cavity underlying a CME and often a magnetic filament associated with a CME. There was a smooth, oval-shaped coronal cavity photographed in 2002 before a coronal mass ejection.

HOW LONG DID THE MARCH 11, 2012, CORONAL CAVITY AND FILAMENT LAST?
The video clip you sent me shows that the filament erupted and the sphere disappeared at about 12 hours Universal Time (UT) on March 11, 2012. The movie I saw has a time stamp starting about 6 hours UT.
SO IT WAS AN EVENT THAT LASTED AT LEAST SIX HOURS.
It might have been longer than that because in the video where it starts, the circle and filament are already there, so it might have been there prior to the start of the video.
Edits in the SDO Videos On YouTube
IN THE YOUTUBE SHORT 20-SECOND VIDEO I EMAILED YOU, THERE ARE EDITS IN THE TIME STAMPS. DOES NASA’S SDO/AIA EDIT ANY OF THE VIDEOTAPES THAT ARE GOING OUT TO THE WEB?
I’m pretty sure that most of it is all mechanized. We are constantly downloading these images from SDO through a receiving station at White Sands, New Mexico. They have computer scripts that are written to automatically accumulate the images and turn them into a movie.
I don’t think there is an awful lot of human interaction as to let’s take that image and that image. It’s a program something like take every 5th image and put them together over the last 48 hours and put it on the web. And then do it again and again and again.
SO SDO/AIA ARE NOT EDITING THEIR SOLAR VIDEOS. THE EDITING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOWNLOADING SDO VIDEOS AND PUTTING EXCERPTS ON YOUTUBE?
Certainly there are some jumps in the NASA data, but certainly anyone who posts data on YouTube is capable of editing out bits and pieces so that the video goes quicker.
The human employees don’t have time all day to put together the SDO movies that are new every 48 hours! Also, there is a movie for each of the filters! So it’s all mechanized as far as a computer script that accumulates images and runs it through a program that turns it into a movie and posts it at the SDO website in different filter options.”
What’s A Coronal Hole?
The next day on March 12, 2012, after the unusual coronal cavity and magnetic filament event, the sun produced a triangle-shaped coronal hole that is also considered an unusual shape. Coronal holes are defined by the magnetic fields that are coming straight off the sun into the solar system and not looping back into the sun, as Dr. Hathaway points out.

by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, Boulder, Colorado.
David Hathaway, Ph.D.: “A coronal hole is where you are looking down on the sun and at these instrument wavelengths like the NOAA image above, the coronal hole appears dark because the solar material is thinner and the magnetic field lines are coming off the sun out into the solar system. So the sun’s magnetic field does not trap that coronal material and keep it near the sun’s surface. In a coronal hole, the magnetic field lines are threaded out into the solar system and the material escapes off the surface of the sun in the form of the solar wind. That’s why a coronal hole looks dark to us.
SDO: Closest Humans Have Ever
Watched the Sun All the Time
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a NASA mission launched on
February 11, 2010, to observe the Sun constantly and closely until 2015. Four sets of mirrors
were built by the Smithsonian for the NASA solar mission. Illustration by NASA.
ARE YOU SEEING THE SUN NOW IN A SURPRISING WAY BECAUSE SDO IS SHOWING SUCH CLEAR IMAGES ALL THE TIME?
Since its launch two years ago, the nice thing about SDO is that it sees the whole sun in detail immediately. SOHO takes hours to process its data, but you can go to SDO and see the sun from one minute ago!
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO WEB VIEWERS WHO ARE WATCHING SDO, SEE A CIRCLE OF DARKNESS OR A TRIANGLE-SHAPED CORONAL HOLE AND WANT A REALITY CHECK?
I think they need to recognize that all of the features we see in the sun’s corona have their origin in magnetic fields – whether it’s like the circle or the triangle, ultimately it’s associated with a magnetic field configuration. There’s enough complexity there, we’ve even seen a duck pattern and all sorts of things in the coronal holes.
For certain, the circle configuration was exceptional in that Wow! It’s got a really sharp edge and very circular. That is unusual.”
