June 26, 2006 Cedar Rapids, Iowa – These photographs were taken by various Cedar Rapids, Iowa, residents on June 20, 2006, who were fascinated by the weird clouds that emerged around 9:30 a.m. Central time. KCRG-TV reported the strange clouds were visible from Waterloo to southern areas of Iowa. Even more strange, there were no tornadoes or rain from the weird clouds.
E-mail June 23, 2006, official CDC reply concerning Morgellons Syndrome:
“Thank you for your inquiry regarding the condition some refer to as ‘Morgellons.’ CDC is presently bringing together medical experts from several scientific specialties in a working group to help us understand this (Morgellons) pattern of illness or syndrome. Our aim is to gather information on people reporting this condition to see if they share common traits, experiences, or anything that might have put them at risk for these symptoms. We hope to learn enough about the condition so we can offer useful advice for control or treatment, something that is not possible now because too little is known.
“Since CDC has no clinical center or hospital to evaluate or treat patients, we urge persons who believe they are suffering from this condition or who have distressing symptoms to seek evaluation and medical care from their local health care providers. Thank you for your interest in this important matter.”

June 25, 2006 Albuquerque, New Mexico – In addition to the above formal e-mail reply from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, to my e-mail inquiry to the new CDC contact link above, I am sharing some of the many communications I have received from Earthfiles viewers and Coast to Coast AM listeners since my radio news update on Thursday, June 22, 2006.Click for report.

June 22, 2006 Mexico City, Mexico – While scientists are trying to save polar bears and other animals faced with hardship and extinctions as planet Earth continues to warm up this century, another kind of animal threat continues to happen around the world without comment from scientists or political leaders. Law enforcement calls that threat, “animal mutilations.” The bloodless, trackless deaths have occurred among horses, cattle, sheep, goats, domestic cats and dogs, and wild animals around the world since at least the early 1960s. Long associated with the strange animal mutilations have been beams of light coming from unidentified aerial discs in the sky. I have interviewed about a dozen ranchers and other eyewitnesses who have seen animals either raised up from pastures in light beams or lowered back, dead and mutilated. What is that powerful beam technology? And who, or what, focuses the beams on animals – and even sometimes people? Military and intelligence insiders say the perpetrators are “extraterrestrial biological entities.”Click for report.
“These (images of my hand and arm below) are just some of the more common physical effects of Morgellons. There are others as well. Additionally, the psychological and internal physiological effects are equally as devastating.”

June 22, 2006 Tulsa, Oklahoma – At the end of April 2006, a 23-year-old man in Texas named Travis Wilson killed himself after suffering for a year with the painful, itching syndrome called “Morgellons disease.” He said it felt like bugs were crawling under his skin. None of the antibiotics and medicines he tried stopped his agony.Click for report.
“Oh, my God. Here is a circle and rings in my wheat!’
In all my years of farming, I’ve never seen anything like it!”
– Merle Ecklund, Farmer
The Herington Times reported beneath its front page photograph:
“WHAT CAUSED THEM? Was there a UFO landing in this field a few months ago? [Mr. Ecklund discovered the two circles on June 2, 2006.] Or was some prankster chemist at work during the winter? Or is there some other rare, but logical and highly scientific explanation? Merle Ecklund of rural Herington would like to know. He found these two unexplainable cupped-out circles Friday afternoon [June 2, 2006] in a wheat field on land he farms just east of 2800 Road, 1 mile south of U. S. 56, in western Morris County. Ecklund said he had never witnessed such an oddity in more than four decades of farming. Both circles were about 19 to 20 feet in diameter.Click for report.

June 3, 2006 Albuquerque, New Mexico – Following my Earthfiles and Coast to Coast AM news reports on May 31, about the agonizing Morgellons disease which has emerged over the past five years, I have received many e-mails from viewers and listeners. Below is a sampling for consideration.Click for report.
June 1 , 2006 East Texas – A month ago at the end of April 2006, a 23-year-old man named Travis Wilson killed himself after a year of suffering what has come to be called “Morgellons disease.” His mother, Lisa Wilson, said: “Fibers would come out of Travis’s hands and fingers that were white, black and sometimes red. Very, very painful.”Click for report.
June 1 , 2006 Lamar, Colorado – I began traveling with my television crew in Kiowa, Elbert, El Paso, Logan and many other eastern Colorado counties in the fall of 1979 as I began my documentary investigation of the animal mutilation mystery which was frustrating ranchers and law enforcement that year – again. Since at least the 1960s, ranchers had been finding horses, cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits and other domestic and wild animals dead with the same excisions of tissue, usually without blood or tracks. Typically, if a dead animal were on its right side, the left ear, eye, jaw flesh, tongue and even teeth, trachea and esophagus were excised in “neat, surgical, precise cuts.” In males, the penis and testicles are either totally removed in an oval excision, or some parts of the male sexual organs are removed. In females, whole udders can be cut hide-deep, leaving behind large circular, square or triangular patterns in the belly. Or only the teats are cored out. Or half the udder neatly cut away. The vaginal tract is almost always cored out in females. And in nearly every mutilation case, regardless of sex, the rectal tissue is cored out in 6-inch-diameter holes that extend into the body as far as fourteen inches or more.Click for report.
May 15, 2006 Tanah Karo, Sumatra, Indonesia – Five people in an Indonesian family have all died of bird flu, according to Nyoman Kandun, who heads the Indonesian Healthy Ministry’s Office of Communicable Disease Control. Three others in the family also contracted the deadly H5N1 virus, but so far have survived.
