Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge north of Medina, North Dakota, has been the home of nearly 30,000 American White Pelicans for the past two years. Then 29,000 disappeared in 2004. After the return of many of the adults in 2005, now at least 8,000 white pelican chicks have mysteriously died.

July 14, 2005  Medina and Bismarck, North Dakota – A year ago, beginning on May 24, 2004, the Bismarck, North Dakota office of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service began hearing that American White Pelicans were disappearing from the Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge north of Medina, North Dakota. Over four days the end of May 2004, the estimated number of large water birds dropped from 27,000 down to 80 at two of three nesting sites. The third nesting site of pelicans remained normal with 2,400 birds – adding to the mystery about why? – and how? – could 27,000 pelicans disappear without a trace? By June 17, 2004, another 2,000 American White Pelican adults disappeared. The 29,000 missing pelicans left their eggs and chicks behind. The disappearance remained a mystery until this summer when about 18,000 adults returned to Chase Lake for nesting.Click for report.

U. K. Bicyclist Reports Mysterious, Low Hovering Objects Bending Wheat

“…I am certain that there is some other form of intelligence, either on this planet or visiting the crops from somewhere else. I have no doubt about that after seeing what I saw.”

– Mike Booth, Marlborough, U. K. Resident

Marlborough is northeast of Lockeridge in Wiltshire County, England.

July 1, 2005  Lockeridge, Wiltshire, England – Mike Booth has spent much of his forty-five years designing for race cars and planes. He received his British National Diploma in Art from Buckinghamshire’s Amersham School of Art and Design in 1979. In his spare time, he also writes songs and tries every other night to ride his mountain bike from his home near Marlborough out the road from Lockeridge, past Boreham Down and the West Woods on to Alton Barnes. The road goes right through the heart of Wiltshire’s crop circle country, but Mike had never seen anything especially unusual until 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, as he was riding next to Boreham Down.Click for report.

 June 27, 2005  Washington, D. C. – The U. S. Department of Agriculture confirmed on June 25, 2005, that the second U. S. cow in 18 months has tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, also known as Mad Cow disease. The first case of Mad Cow found in the U.S. was in December 2003 in a Washington state dairy cow that had been imported from Canada.This 2005 infected cow was at least 8 years-old and rumors in the cattle industry are that the animal was born and raised in Texas. If so, this would be the first confirmation that the always fatal BSE prion disease that destroys brains and nervous systems is in some American cattle and not solely linked to imported animals, as once previously thought.

Updated June 23, 2005   Bradford, Pennsylvania - The number of unusual large animal deaths since 2002 in Argentina and Chile keeps climbing. I talked with Scott Corrales, Editor and Translator of Inexplicata, the Journal of Spanish Ufology, based in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Scott received his M. A. in Spanish Literature from Rutgers University. Scott's website, Inexplicata, provides Spanish-to-English translations about UFO-related incidents in Mexico, Central and South America.

“Junk DNA” That’s Not Junk

“This event in the vertebrates that created the ultra conserved elements in the birth of the vertebrate lineages was a unique event. …It cannot be a coincidence that there have been so few changes in these (vertebrate 481 ‘junk DNA’) elements over this enormous span of half a billion years. It’s got to be that they are functionally important.”

– David Haussler, Ph.D., UC-Santa Cruz

June 25, 2005   Santa Cruz, California – A biomolecular engineer at the University of California in Santa Cruz was published in a recent Science journal stating his lab has found 481 genetic sequences that are the same in all vertebrates from humans to rats and are so important they have not changed in nearly half a billion years. But until now, those genes were considered “junk DNA.”Click for report.

Part 2 – Highly Anomalous Pigment Formation in 2004 Hillsboro, Ohio, Crop Formation

“ …We find in this Hillsboro, Ohio, case that there are statistically significant alterations in all downed corn samples, relative to the normal control plants. If we now add to that the anomalous pigment formation in corn seeds, we must come to the conclusion that the Hillsboro, Ohio, sweet corn patch interacted with a very complex and tremendously high energy vortex plasma.”

– Biophysicist W. C. Levengood


June 2, 2005   Grass Lake, Michigan – May 4, 2005 report about Hillsboro, Ohio, July 5, 2004, mysteriously flattened corn plants, by W. C. Levengood, Biophysicist, Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory, Grass Lake, Michigan:Click for report.
