Yellowstone National Park in western Wyoming is an active volcano and the world’s largest concentration of thermal features.
December 12, 2003 Yellowstone National Park – This past week in San Francisco, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) had its Fall meeting which included two dozen presentations about research concerning Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is an active volcano and the world’s largest concentration of thermal features.Click for report.
December 9, 2003 Atlanta, Georgia – Today, Julie Gerberding, M.D., Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, held a telephone and auditorium press conference about the growing epidemic of the Influenza A H3N2 known as “Fujian,” the huge public demand for flu vaccine and the problem of limited supplies.

Updated – December 12, 2003 Little Rock, Arkansas – The way the Fujian flu has hit so early and so hard in the Northern Hemisphere has left some seasoned doctors stunned. Dr. James Todd, Director of Epidemiology at Denver Children’s Hospital where at least four flu-related deaths have occurred, said this week, “In my 30 years on the job I’ve never seen an outbreak this bad.”

December 5, 2003 Grass Lake, Michigan – The San Francisco Chronicle published a story yesterday about a crop formation that was discovered on June 28, 2003, in a wheat field near Fairfield, California in Solano County. There were fifteen circles in a pictogram pattern, the largest was 140 feet in diameter. A ball of light in the field was reported by two different witnesses from two different locations. Thousands of people traveled to the wheat field and national news carried aerial photographs of the crop circles. Then four teenagers claimed they put the wheat down, but the District Attorney did not believe their story. And now the current news report is that local investigators have concluded the pattern of circles was too sophisticated for any teenagers to have created it.Click for report.
November 29, 2003 Milan, Italy – The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) released its new report this week about climate change and global glacier decline which headlines, “Unless governments take urgent action to prevent global warming, billions of people worldwide might face severe water shortages as a result of the alarming melt rate of glaciers.” Glaciers have contained 70% of the world’s freshwater reserves. But only a 4 degrees Celsius global temperature warming by the end of this 21st Century would “eliminate almost all of them.” Greenland ice sheets could be triggered to a complete melt-down with only a temperature increase of 2-3 degrees Celcius.Click for report.
“We do not have enough evidence to conclude one way or the other that the formation is authentic or that it was hoaxed.”

November 1, 2003 West Union, Ohio – This week, crop circle investigators Jeffrey Wilson, Roger Sugden, Ted Robertson, Delsey and Tony Knoechelman and several others went to see yet another crop formation in soybeans south of the Serpent Mound and Seip Mound where other soybean formations were found in August and September this year. This latest one was a little south of West Union on Route 41.Click for report.
October 17, 2003 Salt Lake City, Utah – On Thursday, October 16, 2003, at 10:50 a.m. MT, a Utah National Guard NCO with several years in military service reported a “plane in distress” falling in the sky over Camp Williams south of Salt Lake City. As a precaution and in standard operating procedure in the event of a pending air crash, the Salt Lake City International Airport stopped two airliners from landing. But the FAA said there weren’t any aircraft in the area. When the NCO’s report reached higher authorities, NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, became involved. As of this date, NORAD has not released any official statement about the NCO’s report. The unofficial guess is that the object was “probably a meteorite.”Click for report.
October 3, 2003 Bainbridge, Ohio –
“JEFF, WHEN WE TALKED LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER, IT WAS BECOMING CLEAR THAT THERE HAS BEEN MORE MILITARY FOCUS ON THE SERPENT MOUND FORMATION.
Yes, I heard two stories in the past week about people who had gone to visit the Locust Grove, Adams County formation located just near the Serpent Mound. One gentleman said he was just out there on Sunday and there was a military helicopter that came over and hovered over the site less than 1000 feet up and then made several circling passes over it before it left. And I did hear kind of a vague report from someone who lives in the area that they were out at the formation site where they have not been allowing visitors into the formation. We were only allowed out there because of our agreement with the landowners.Click for report.
October 2, 2003 Bainbridge, Ohio – On September 28, 2003, The Highland County Press newspaper in Ohio, published an aerial photograph by Dan Music and Ron Tillis that showed the second Bainbridge crop formation in soybeans this year. The newspaper reported that the two men “were flying over the area recently in their private plane and were surprised to see the designs cut into this bean field. Local residents said they suspected young people on four-wheelers had made the design. Several other crop circles have been found in the area, including one discovered August 23 (correct date is August 24) near Serpent Mound in Adams County. A third crop circle was recently found and photographed near Seip Mound in Ross County.” See 09/12/03 Earthfiles.Click for report.
September 19, 2003 Menlo Park, California – In the past three weeks since I reported about potential threats of volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest and changes in hydrothermal activity in Yellowstone Park, internet chat rooms have been buzzing about the idea of a “Super Volcano” erupting in Yellowstone. Excerpts from one e-mailer at rumormillnews.com said: “Yellowstone is worse than we thought. …there is a large dead zone of animals and vegetation. …New geysers and mud pots are springing up daily. …They have closed more areas to the public than is being reported. There are several areas where the ground temperature tops 200 degrees. And earthquakes are becoming a daily occurrence.” People are asking if all the increased heating could be the prelude to a “Super Volcano?”
