“A streak of light, like a honey-coloured comet tail, flashed past me at eye level no more than six feet from my head.”
– William Betts, U. K. Crop Circle Researcher
UPDATED with mysterious light photos July 24, 2006 Petersfield, Hampshire, England – It is so hot in southern England right now that the London Zoo is feeding blood-flavored ice blocks to the lions to help keep them cooler. The hottest day ever recorded in a British summer was on July 19th. London’s Underground subway system has no air conditioning and temperatures have reportedly reached 117 degrees Fahrenheit, while road surfaces south of London have been melting.Click for report.
“The average temperature for the continental United States from January through June 2006 was the warmest first half of any year since records began in 1895.”

July 18, 2006 Asheville, North Carolina – The following is the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Agency’s summary of America’s “record warm first half of year, widespread drought and northeast record rainfall.”
NOAA report on July 14, 2006: “The average temperature for the continental United States from January through June 2006 was the warmest first half of any year since records began in 1895, according to scientists at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. Last month was the second warmest June on record and nationally averaged precipitation was below average. The continuation of below normal precipitation in certain regions and much warmer-than-average temperatures expanded moderate-to-extreme drought conditions in the contiguous U.S. However, much of the Northeast experienced severe flooding and record rainfall during the last week of June. The global surface temperature was second warmest on record for June.
U.S. Temperature Highlights
The average January-June temperature for the contiguous United States (based on preliminary data) was 51.8 degrees F (11.0 degrees C), or 3.4 degrees F (1.8 degrees C) above the 20th century (1901-2000) average. Five states (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri) experienced record warmth for the period. No state was near or cooler than average.
The nation observed the second warmest June on record this year. In the West, 11 states were much warmer than average. Only five states (Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and South Carolina) were cooler than normal for the month.
The June statewide average temperature for Alaska was near average, and January-June was 0.55 degrees F (0.30 degrees C) cooler than the 1971-2000 average.
U.S. Precipitation Highlights
The average precipitation for June 2006 across the continental U.S. was 0.3 in. (8 mm) below the 20th century average.
Record rainfall in parts of the Northeast during May and June contributed to the wetter-than-normal first half of the year for that region. Heavy precipitation along the East Coast from June 22-28 resulted in widespread flooding. For example, Washington’s Reagan National Airport reported 11.37 inches (289 mm) during that time and a record June total of 14.02 inches (356 mm). More than 10 inches (254 mm) of rain fell in Federalsburg on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in a 24-hour period.
In June, 45 percent of the contiguous U.S. was in moderate-to-extreme drought (based on the Palmer Drought Index), an increase of 6 percent from May, while 27 percent was in severe-extreme drought (up from 20 percent in May). Additionally, from January through June, warm, dry conditions spawned more than 50,000 wildfires, burning more than 3,000,000 acres in the contiguous U.S. and Alaska, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
Global Highlights
It was the second warmest June on record for global land- and ocean-surface temperatures since records began in 1880 (1.08 degrees F/0.60 degrees C above the 20th century mean) and the sixth warmest year-to-date (January-June) (0.90 degrees F/0.50 degrees C).”

" This Area 29 seems to be related to deep space propulsion vehicles, ground-to-space aircraft, Mach-10-plus vehicles, negative gravity vehicles, high energy output devices."

Map of White Sands Proving Ground (now Missile Range) on microfilm that was leaked by Timothy Cooper to Bob and Ryan Wood, www.majesticdocuments.com. Someone had highlighted with a black pen the Trinity site region, which includes Oscura Peak, and labeled it "Area 29." Image source is www.majesticdocuments.com.White Sands Missile Range today (White Sands Proving Ground in 1947). LZ-2 was Landing Zone 2 where Majestic-12 documents describe the crash of an "interplanetary" vehicle from which both non-human bodies and advanced technologies were retrieved July 4-6, 1947. Area 29 includes all of the Trinity Site, Landing Zone 2 and Oscura Peak.
Updated July 17/ July 10, 2006 Broomfield, Colorado - Ryan Wood oversees the website, majesticdocuments.com, which contains many leaked documents from a man named Tim Cooper about U. S. government knowledge of extraterrestrial biological entities, their advanced technologies and the government's strict policy of denial about all of it in the interest of national security. One file that Ryan received contained photographs of unidentified hardware and people related to UFO back-engineering. And one of those photographs was a map of White Sands Missile Range with the Trinity site region highlighted in black ink and labeled 'Area 29.' For more than a year, Ryan Wood has been investigating the mystery of what Area 29 does. In the process, he has learned that north of Oscura Peak inside the boundaries of Area 29 is a USAF research lab which develops advanced missile tracking, laser and particle beam weapons. Oscura Peak is also referenced in some of the Majestic-12 documents as a geographical reference for at least one "interplanetary" crash site.

July 7, 2006 Monument, Colorado - Long before the time of Jesus Christ, the Bible says God was angry at sinful humanity and planned to flood the planet above all the mountain tops to get rid of everyone. But God took pity on a man named Noah and his family and decided to save them and many animals. The salvation, according to the Bible, was a boat made of “gopher wood.” As the flood waters receded, Noah’s ark came to rest on “Ararat mountains,” plural. In Jeremiah Chapter 51, verse 27, Ararat is called a kingdom that fights with Babylon – not a volcanic mountain in Turkey. In fact, Mt. Ararat, Turkey, was not given that name until around 1200 A.D. That means historically, there was an ancient Ararat kingdom with many mountains in what most likely would have been Mesopotamia, or today’s Iran and Iraq.

July 7, 2006 Williamsburg, Ohio – Another earth mystery has been unfolding amid all the earth mounds in southwestern Indiana. Find Evansville, Indiana, on the map above. A little southeast of the city is the Angel Mounds Historic Site. Several miles northeast of Angel Mounds in Dubois County is the farming community of Huntingburg. Further northeast is the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center, worth noting because the military has long been interested in crop formations.

From Neilburg to Waterhen Lake First Nation, Saskatchewan, Canada, for years phenomena such as crop circles, animal mutilations and glowing discs have been reported. Northwest of Waterhen Lake is Cold Lake Air Weapons Range. Investigators often wonder if the UFO phenomenon monitors Earth military installations?
July 1, 2006 Maidstone, Saskatchewan, Canada – Mysterious, unexplained glowing discs have been showing up almost weekly since early April 2006 at Meadow Lake and Waterhen Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada, northeast of Lloydminster. Barb Campbell, organizer of the SPPRC – Paranormal Research Centre in Saskatchewan, Canada is also Manager of the Sandpiper Motel in Maidstone, Saskatchewan. Barb has made the two to three hour trip to the lakes to investigate the unidentified aerial phenomena and talk to eyewitnesses. In one instance at Waterhen Lake First Nation, it was estimated that perhaps a thousand people saw strange, moving lights over the water. Back north of Lloydminster on a ranch in Hillmond, Barb has also investigated a recent cattle mutilation discovered by the farm owner on June 17, only two weeks ago.Click for report.
“At the heart of the matter, lies a conspiracy by the Jesuits to suppress the fact that the entities encountered by the children at Fatima were not deities descending from Heaven, but rather were alien beings visiting our planet from ‘elsewhere’ in the vast cosmos.”

Mutilated half cat photographed by Plano, Texas Police Officer for Incident Report #91-44994, August 31, 1991.
June 28, 2006 Destin, Florida - Exactly five years ago in June 2001, cat mutilations were reported in Navarre, Florida, and Austin, Texas. At Earthfiles, I showed the Daily News article below of the Navarre couple holding their white surviving cat. Their black male was found cut in half, without blood. Since the 1970s, there have been repeated waves of cat mutilations in Canada, the United Kingdom and United States.
At the same time in northwestern Austin, Texas, law enforcement were investigating a dozen incidents of mutilated cats since March 2001, in which the head, neck and front legs of domestic cats had been severed bloodlessly through the spine by a sharp instrument. Most of the internal organs, rib cage and spine were removed in the mutilated cats and some were cut in half bloodlessly right behind the two front legs.
