“Boom reports in Montello have been pretty much community wide.
We've checked with our typical sources such as utility companies and anybody maybe drilling or doing construction in the area and at this point in time we don't know what it is.”
- Richard Olson, Police Chief of Montello, Wisconsin
“Clearly it simply jolts you. It sounds like someone drops a piece of dynamite outside of the building you’re in. Or that something sort of exploded under the ground. ...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.”

“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.”

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.

when she spotted the weird object (silver disc) in the one picture.”
- Coast to Coast radio listener
Unidentified aerial disc above Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, California, on February 19, 2004, at 9:35:43 AM (camera time stamp).
- “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.”
- Seattle, WA flight engineer

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?’”

“The Apple iPhone photo that Hector Siliezar took on July 24, 2009,
at 2:00:31 PM in front of the Mayan El Castillo (Kukulkan) pyramid
at Chichen Itza as a thunderstorm began appears to be an iPhone
glitch of banding caused by the lightning strike.”
- Joe Thibodeau, Embedded Systems Engineer
“None of the technical explanations offered succeed in explaining
why the column of light stops precisely at the top of the pyramid.
This cannot be dismissed as a variant of a technical effect because the
coincidence is simply too implausible. It requires convincing explanation.”
- Whitley Strieber, Author, Solving the Communion Enigma,
and Publisher, Unknowncountry.com
Apple iPhone photo that Hector Siliezar took on July 24, 2009, at 2:00:31 PM in front of the Mayan El Castillo (Kukulkan) pyramid at Chichen Itza as a thunderstorm began and lightning was captured to the left of the “beam.” Foreground left to right: Stephanie Siliezar then 9 and Destiny Siliezar then 5.
March 12, 2012 Forest Knolls, California - On February 21, 2012, Earthfiles reported “Mayan Kukulkan Pyramid Emits Light Beam in iPhone Photo.” See 022112 Earthfiles. For that Earthfiles report, I interviewed the original photographer of the Kukulkan beam image, Hector Siliezar, and his wife Glenda Hernadez, who provided the metadata for each of three photographs. Hector took the photos rapidly in succession and only the third contained the pale pink beam rising from the top of the pyramid.

“I could feel the sound in my chest and in the house we have hardwood floors and we could feel the vibration.”
- Philip Smith, Arlington, Washington, February 23, 2012
February 28, 2012 Albuquerque, New Mexico - The strange, often unexplained, sounds reported and sometimes recorded over the past year since at least March 2011 are worldwide in distribution and include a range of different sounds. Some are described by listeners like trumpets or horns.
Other sounds are compared to an old TV playing loudly with voices, but words can’t be understood. There are also loud buzzing sounds; or low beats like drums; or droning white noise like a freeway, but where there is no freeway. Click on: 022412 Earthfiles.

“179 stranded common dolphins in four weeks is unprecedented.”
- Trevor Spradlin, NOAA Marine Mammal Biologist
International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) rescue teams tried to save as many common dolphins as possible that persisted stranding, re-stranding and dying between Barnstable and Wellfleet in Cape Cod between January 12 and February 14, 2012.Light blue area between Wellfleet and Barnstable on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is where 179 common dolphins stranded, re-stranded and died between January 12 and February 14, 2012, unprecedented in Cape history.
February 24, 2012 Silver Spring, Maryland - The common dolphin is the name given to two species, and possibly a third, of dolphins making up the genus Delphinus. Those species are the short-beaked common dolphin, Delphinus delphis; the long-beaked common dolphin, Delphinus capensis. Some studies suggest a third species, the Arabian common dolphin, D. tropicalis, that has an extremely long and thin beak and is found in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.

“I took three pictures of the pyramid trying to get lightning.
In number one, nothing happened. In number two, nothing happened.
In the third picture is the beam and lightning.”
- Hector Siliezar, on vacation tour near
Kukulkan Pyramid, Chichen Itza, Yucatan
February 21, 2012 Los Angeles, California - In the first week of February 2012, an Earthfiles viewer sent me the photograph above of the Mayan Kukulkan pyramid with a pale pink beam coming out of the top and asked me if I knew the background of the photograph that is displayed in some Mayan-related websites. I contacted my friend and colleague Jaime Maussan in Mexico City, who said it was a real photograph taken on July 24, 2009, by Hector Siliezar on vacation with his wife Glenda Hernadez and their two girls, Stephanie and Destiny. Hector and Glenda were both born in El Salvador, but Hector moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1986 to sell cars and later to work in receiving and shipping for warehouses. By 1990, Glenda joined Hector as a resident, became a bank teller, gave birth to their daughters and the couple married in 2006.
