May 8, 2008 - Death Toll in Myanmar (Burma) After
Cyclone Nargis Could Be More Than 100,000.
Military Junta Still Blocking U. S. Aid.
“We're hearing dreadful stories of hundreds of dead bodies

May 7, 2008 - New Survey Shows 36% Honey Bee
Loss in U.S. Since 2007.

“For two years in a row, we've sustained a substantial loss.
That's an astonishing number. Imagine if one out of every three cows,
or one out of every three chickens, were dying. That would raise a lot of alarm.
What's frightening about CCD is that it's not predictable or understood.”

May 6, 2008 - Chile's Chaiten Volcano: First Eruptions in 9,370 Years.
More than 4,000 people forced to evacuate, many to neighboring Argentina.

The 3,550-foot-high Chaiten Volcano in southern Chile, 760 miles south of Santiago,
began erupting May 2, for the first time in 9,370 years. But the 20-mile-high blast of ash and lava on Monday, May 5, 2008, forced more than 4,000 people to evacuate Chaiten and Futaleufu.

Residents in Esquel, Argentina, wore surgical masks
on May 5, 2008, after ash from the Chaiten volcano blew over the Andes
mountains and into parts of Argentina, closing schools and a regional
airport. Copyright 2008 Municipalidad Esquel via Reuters.

Charles Stern, a volcanologist at the University of Colorado-Boulder, who has studied Chaiten, said the nearby town could end up buried like the Roman city of Pompeii after the 79 A. D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

April 28, 2008 - Crop Formation Near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, England.

6-fold geometry with Silbury Hill in background

April 19, 2008, in yellow, blooming rape seed (canola).

Also see:  Cropcircleconnector.com.

This 6-fold geometry resonates with the ancient Flower of Life symbol from which the five Platonic Solids can be derived. Philosophers and architects consider the Flower of Life to be a template for all structure in the universe. Charles Mallett, owner of the new Silent Circle information and research facility at The White Horse Inn, Compton Bassett, Wiltshire, writes:  “This crop formation was first reported to the Silent Circle by local residents during the morning of April 19, 2008. The circle diameter is approximately 180 feet and is positioned high on the North facing flank of Waden Hill, where it can be seen from the A361 when approaching Avebury from the Beckhampton roundabout. On the ground the formation is messy, with a significant proportion of the downed rape-seed (canola) plants seriously damaged around the base area.”

Update: April 24, 2008 - Four Red, Lights Over North Phoenix Now Described As Red Flares Tied to Helium Balloons.

But Phoenix New Times on April 22, headlined: “Air Traffic Controllers
Who Saw UFO Muzzled by FAA.”

ABC15.com interviewed Phoenix resident, Lino Mailo, who says he watched his still-anonymous neighbor launch red flares attached to black and white helium balloons
into the sky around 8 PM, April 21.  Click here for video interview. But it's still a confusing event. Not only is the perpetrator still anonymous and not talking, his house is allegedly shown about 100 feet from the backyard where the ABC15.com does his interview - so why didn't the reporter simply walk over to that house and knock on the door and ask to talk to the alleged hoaxer? Also, a retired military USAF pilot was interviewed by a Phoenix radio station yesterday morning, April 23. He said he watched the red lights over the half-hour between 8 and 8 PM and said, “They were definitely not flares attached to helium balloons.”

“ABC15 contacted several agencies, including the FAA, Sky Harbor,
Luke AFB, and the Phoenix Police Department. No one could explain
what the lights are.”  - ABC15-TV, Phoenix.

April 20, 2008 - Another Aerial Dragonfly in Tennessee?

National UFO Reporting Center, Posted April 17, 2008.
Sighting April 8, 2008, in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

April 8, 2008, sighting description in Hendersonville,
Tennessee, is similar to this May 6, 2007, photograph by Chad
in Central California. See: 051507 Earthfiles.

Eyewitness saw for two minutes a “Ring with long arms and crown viewed in Sumner County, Tennessee. I was on my way to work to Nashville, when I stopped at the stop sign at Indian Lake Rd. I noticed somthing out the top of my window. This thing looked to be about 200 ft off the ground just sitting still. It was round ring with three very long arms that came to a point. It also had what looked like a crown or lots of pointy rods going all around the top of the circle. There were no light or bright colors. It just looked gray or silver white. If I had to put a size on it, I would say the circle was about 40 to 50 ft across. The arms looked about a hundred feet long, some shorter than the others. The crown on top looked to be 40 to 50 ft tall. I may be wrong, but it looked very large. I decided to get out of the car to take a better look. I thought it had to be some kind of balloon for advertising or something. When I got out, it started moving - not in a motion like a plane, but up and down in the same place. Then it rotated and just blinked out like you turned out a light. I have never seen anything like this before and am quite disturbed. I hope it is something military or some kind of projected image.”  Source:  NUFORC

April 15, 2008 - Earth's Orbiting Junk Yard.

Computer-generated images released by the European Space Agency (ESA)
in Paris have revealed at least 12,000 objects in orbit around Earth.
Computer illustration courtesy ESA.

ESA says the number of objects in Earth's atmosphere has risen steadily, increasing by 200 per year on average, with more than 600 working satellites in orbit. Collisions, explosions and lost or discarded material from space flights and rockets have become an orbiting junk yard. The majority of those objects, 11,500 pieces, are in low Earth orbit, between 497 miles and 932 miles (800 to 1500 kilometers), where most commercial, military, scientific and navigational satellites operate. In this low orbit, debris can stay adrift for decades before it eventually burns up in Earth's atmosphere. There are another 1,147 pieces in geostationary orbit, where the satellite orbits in the direction of the Earth's rotation, at an altitude of approximately 22,241 miles (35,786 kilometers). This is usually the domain of telecommunication satellites, but now all the junk is becoming an increasing hazard.

April 14, 2008 - Martian Moon, Phobos, Doomed to Destruction.

Phobos moon orbiting Mars imaged by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter on March 23, 2008, from a distance of 4,200 miles.
Credit: HiRISE, MRO, LPL (U. Arizona), NASA.

NASA:  “The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took two images of the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, within 10 minutes of each other on March 23, 2008. This is the first, taken from a distance of about about 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers). It is presented in color by combining data from the camera's blue-green, red, and near-infrared channels. The illuminated part of Phobos seen in the images is about 13 miles (21 kilometers) across. The most prominent feature in the images is the large crater Stickney in the lower right. With a diameter of 5.6 miles (9 kilometers), it is the largest feature on Phobos.

“But Phobos orbits so close to Mars - about 3,605 miles (5,800 kilometers) above the surface compared to almost 249,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) for our Moon - that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In 100 million years, Phobos will likely be shattered by stress caused by the relentless tidal forces, the debris forming a decaying ring around Mars.”

Are Volcanoes Active On Venus?

Venus Express Orbit 458 on July 23, 2007.

and enormous, spiral cloud features at mid-latitudes.
Image credit: ESA/ MPS/DLR/IDA.

The European Space Agency reports about its Venus Express mission that “a highly variable quantity of the volcanic gas sulphur dioxide has been detected in the atmosphere of Venus. Scientists must now decide whether this is evidence for active volcanoes on Venus, or linked to a hitherto unknown mechanism affecting the upper atmosphere. The only way to be absolutely certain that active volcanism is taking place on Venus is to see a volcano in action. This is not easy when you are trying to look through 62 miles (100 km.) of thick, cloudy atmosphere. But the Venus Express team are working on two ways of doing this. The first is to look for localized increases in sulphur dioxide that would indicate a large plume of the gas issuing from a volcano. The other way is to look for hot spots on the surface that can be shown to be fresh lava flows.”
