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!”

– Michael Reed, Astrophysicist

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.

Updated: Mysterious Crash Near Needles, California

“When it came down, that’s how I saw the shape of it – by the turquoise-blue fire that was in front of it that showed the oval shape.”

Updated: Aerial Ring with Antennas in Southern Ohio Forest and Downtown Chicago Dragonfly Drone Sighting

“I don’t know where the ring with the antenna appendages was from. I definitely do not believe it was manmade. There’s a lot of stuff out there that I know can be manmade, but this was not. This was completely otherworldly.”

“I saw it for about a full 2 minutes before it ‘sparkled’ and de-materialized right before it turned the corner. I couldn't believe what I saw!”

Red circles are the 15 regions know in United States to date in which 21 eyewitnesses have reported seeing a wingless aerial craft with antenna appendages hovering and moving like a dragonfly, spanning 21 years from 1987 to 2008. Map © 2008 by Earthfiles.

Phoenix Robotic Arm Preparing to Dig Into Martian Permafrost

“We are not looking for live microbes on this Phoenix instrument suite. We would not detect them. What we are looking for are the organic compounds that might be the food that could create life, either in the past or some time in the future.”

- Barry Goldstein, Phoenix Project Manager, JPL

May 29, 2008  Pasadena, California -  On Sunday, May 25, 2008, at about 4:53 p.m. Pacific time, NASA and JPL’s Mars Phoenix Lander reached the North Pole of Mars with only minor glitches. First, the sleeve on its robotic arm designed to dig into the Martian permafrost wasn’t completely off, but corrected itself later on. Then the UHF radio signal from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter satellite suddenly and mysteriously shut off. Scientists are depending on the MRO radio to communicate with the Phoenix Lander. The radio silence, fortunately, was temporary and only delayed for a day the GO! signal to slowly start the deployment of the Phoenix robotic explorer and its digging arm. In a press conference on Tuesday, May 27th, Phoenix mission officials showed a Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photograph of the Phoenix hanging from its parachute as it drifted down about 12 miles in front of a North Pole Crater.

Pregnant Cow Mutilation in Stockholm, Saskatchewan, Canada

“We had the bedroom window open that night (April 30, 2008) and there was no barking from our pit bull and basset hounds. We found that quite strange.”

- Heather Harris, Stockholm Farmer

May 22, 2008  Stockholm, Saskatchewan, Canada - There has been yet another cattle mutilation in Saskatchewan, Canada, found on May 1, 2008. This time it’s a 2-year-old pregnant cow on a farm about 5 miles from Stockholm, a ranching community of about 500 residents not far from Esterhazy and the Manitoba border. Straight west is the large Saskatchewan city of Regina.

High Strangeness in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

“I think they need to create a new hybrid race, which is part them and part us that perhaps is going to help them regenerate their own race.”

- Corina Saebels, Author, The Collectors

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, is about two hours north of Spokane, Washington.  Okanagan Lake is about 90 miles long and is famous for reports of an “Ogopogo” creature similar to the Loch Ness monster in Scotland.

May 19, 2008  Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada  - This past week I have been in the Okanagan Lake region of British Columbia, Canada, about two hours north of Spokane, Washington. Okanagan Lake runs north and south for 90 miles and is famous in Canada as one of the warmest and driest regions where grape vineyards, fruit trees and all kinds of berries grow. Okanagan Lake itself is famous for high strangeness. The Native American Indians said there was an “Ogopogo” in the lake, which translates as “lake monster.” No one has produced public photographs of the creature, but alleged eyewitnesses have sketched three or four snake-like loops breaking the water that look very similar to the Loch Ness monster illustrations in Scotland.

Dragonfly Drones – Surveillance Technology?

“It looked like the appendage that was facing me rotated ... like the appendages rotated and the ring stayed still almost.”

- Brent Yearout, Camas, Washington

May 9, 2008  Camas, Washington -  A year ago on May 4, 2007, Coast to Coast AM webmaster, Lex, received an email from a Central California resident who called himself “Chad” about his photographing an odd, dragonfly-shaped, aerial object. In an email a week later, Chad sent some of his photographs dated May 6, 2007. [ See: 051507 Earthfiles for photos.] In addition to the dragonfly-shaped body that had appendages sticking out from a large ring, there was another odd feature. Rising from the ring straight up into the air were slightly curved, thin wires that formed a tall, circular crown above the dragonfly body. Chad was worried about his family's safety and health after he saw the bizarre aerial object at least eight times from his house and on hikes near his home and heard a low, electrostatic hum coming from it. Neighbors, he said, had also seen the unidentified aerial object.

Viewer Comments on Decatur, Alabama, White Sphere Incident

“The pearl-like spheres hover over the canyon Rim, make right angle turns at high speed and then blink out.”

3-Foot-Diameter Sphere Retrieved by Ambulance in Decatur, Alabama

May 27, 2008 - Update Email

“Subject:      Re:  Pearl Marks on Google Earth - I know what they are. Date:          May 27, 2008 To:            [email protected]

To Whom It May Concern:

I worked for the company, Aerials Express, that produced the imagery with the so called “pearl marks” from 2002-2007.  The aerial photographs were taken in the winter months, and when the negatives were scanned (on a cool morning back in our office in Phoenix) small drops of condensation had formed on the glass of the scanner.  These drops were so small, they went un-detected by the operator.  They were on the underside of the glass, and so appear to obscure the photograph.

At one point, I remember the CEO, Bill Lands, joking about them because a program from the Discovery Channel had contacted him directly.  He planned on releasing a PR piece with a picture of the scanner, and operator in an alien costume.  He had a great sense of humor.  Sorry to dispel the myth, just a bit of water under the scanner.”

5-Month-Long Lightning Storm On Saturn

“A powerful electrical storm rages on Saturn with lightning bolts 10,000 times more powerful than those found on Earth.”

- NASA JPL Cassini-Huygens Mission

Cassini detected this recent, large electrical storm in Saturn's southern hemisphere at 35 degrees south latitude (above) after nearly two years during which Saturn did not appear to have other large storms. Image credit:  NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute.

April 30, 2008  Pasadena, California - NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Cassini-Huygens Saturn Mission based in Pasadena reports this week that the Radio and Plasma Wave (RPWS) experiment on Cassini has monitored the longest-lived continuously active electrical storm ever observed on Saturn, a storm that resides in a band around Saturn's southern hemisphere called “Storm Alley” because it has so many electrical storms.
