Part 3:  Roswell Rock Lab Analysis

“The pattern is remarkable. Obviously, it is something that took a lot of care and knowledge to produce because this hard, iron-rich sandstone with magnetite is not easily worked.”

- James Constantopoulos, Ph.D., Geologist

Left:  Mysterious 1.96 inches (5-centimeters) by1.69 inches (4.3-centimeters) diameter rock that weighs 50.78 grams, measured on July 15, 2008, in Physical Sciences Department at Eastern New Mexico University. The carved rock was found by Roswell auto repairman, Robert Ridge, 50, during his September 4, 2004, deer hunting trip near Capitan, New Mexico, 17 miles southeast from the July 1947 UFO crash site between Corona and Roswell.

Roswell is larger red circle on far right. Cedar Hill deer hunting trail is smaller red circle on Highway 246 (Pine Lodge Road) just west of Chavez and Lincoln County borders northwest of Roswell. Capitan is middle red circle and Corona is top center of map. Cedar Hill deer trail is 17 miles southeast of the July 4, 1947, crash site between Corona and Roswell.

July 18, 2008  Portales, New Mexico - I contacted the original geologist in Portales who did the first February 2005 energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy on the rock for Robert Ridge. I learned that all the original test results had been lost a couple of years ago in a computer hard drive crash. So, on Tuesday, July 15, 2008, I drove to Portales, New Mexico, to meet Robert for a second round of testing of the mysterious carved rock at the Physical Sciences Department of Eastern New Mexico University. The Chair of that department is Geology Professor James Constantopoulos, Ph.D., who has taught at ENMU for nearly twenty years. Prof. Constantopoulos began by examining the rock using a binocular microscope.

Part 1:  Roswell “Rock” Matches August 2, 1996, U. K. Crop Pattern.

“Nine times out of ten when I put a magnet over the top of the pattern side of the rock, the rock wants to spin counter-clockwise.”

July 11, 2008  Roswell, New Mexico - On September 4, 2004, Roswell self-employed auto shop owner, Robert L. Ridge, decided to go bow and arrow hunting for deer in Cedar Hill near Capitan Mountain, about 17 miles southwest of the alleged UFO crash of a wedge-shaped aerial vehicle between Corona and Roswell sixty-one years ago in July 4 to July 6, 1947. He has lived in Roswell the entire fifty years of his life and many times before had traveled to Cedar Hill to hunt deer.

Updated June 25, 2008: Increasingly Acidic Pacific Coast Waters Threaten Marine Life

“We have already seen in 2007 a drop in pH of 0.1,  which equates to ~30% increase in acidity. By the end of this century  the models predict a total drop in pH of 0.4 which is actually more  like a 150% increase in acidity. For ocean chemistry, this is very dramatic –  a bigger change than we’ve seen for at least the last 5 million years on planet Earth. And it’s more than 100 times faster rate of change than we’ve seen over that period.”

- Christopher Sabine, Ph.D., NOAA

June 21, 2008  Corvallis, Oregon and Shelton, Washington - None of the global warming climate models saw open oceans increasing in acidity by 30% or more until the end of the 21st Century. But a new study published in the June 2008 journal, Science, shows that Pacific ocean water only four miles off the northern California shore, is already 30% more acidic than normal. When I did my first Earthfiles.com report about the acidification of the world’s oceans [ 081304 Earthfiles ], computer models were projecting that open ocean acidity might seriously increase by at least 30% or more at the end of the 21st Century - not by 2008.

Barbury Castle Pi Formation:  “Perfectly Clean” in Muddy, Rain-Soaked Field

“When Newsnight said to me the BBC had no intention of doing any in-depth study or program on crop circles, I thought that really says it all. They are not prepared to look at the crop phenomenon seriously.”

- Lucy Pringle, Crop Circle Photographer and Author

2008 Barbury Castle Pattern Is First ten digits of Pi 3.141592654

“The fact that the Pi decimal point is included (in the 2008 Barbury Castle barley pattern) and there is rounding up to 10 decimal places is to me a little mind boggling!”

June 8, 2008  Timberlake, North Carolina - On June 7, 2008, I received the following email from a man who retired from an astrophysics career and is now a semi-retired technology consultant for electronic and electro-optics industries living in Timberlake, North Carolina. Mike Reed once worked at the University of Arizona in Tucson on the Multi-Mirror Telescope (MMT) at Mt. Hopkins, a joint venture with the Harvard Smithsonian Observatory. He had been studying the June 1, 2008, formation in barley at Barbury Castle.
