April 14, 2005  Los Angeles, California – Sixty three years ago on February 24-25, 1942, all of southern California from the San Joaquin Valley to the Mexico border was blacked out. Fearing a WWII Japanese invasion attack after Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, air raid sirens had gone on and off the evening of February 24, as intermittent unidentified aerial lights were reported. Then at 2:25 a.m. on February 25, most of the greater Los Angeles region’s three million population was awakened by loud air raid sirens that kept wailing for the next thirty-eight minutes. Powerful searchlights were aimed at a glowing unidentified aerial object over the Santa Monica Mountains that was shaped like a “lozenge.” Then America’s 37th Coast Artillery Brigade fired off 1,430 anti-aircraft shells at the unidentified aerial, diamond-shaped craft.Click for report.

April 12, 2005  Brummen, The Netherlands – Seven years ago on June 7, 1999, a few minutes after midnight, 19-year-old Robbert van den Broeke woke up and felt compelled to look out his second story bedroom window. Robbert opened the curtains and saw a “small, misty, pinkish-purple light” shaped like a football coming over the wheat field at a height of about ten feet. The light stopped about 150 feet from his house. “Then the light started to elongate, spreading out becoming thinner and thinner looking like a disc. When it was about thirty feet in diameter, Robbert saw what he called “electrical discharges” emit from the bottom of the pinkish-purple light. After that, the light faded away. Robbert ran outside into the wheat and there was a 30-foot-diameter circle next to a 10-foot-diameter circle.

April 12, 2005  Doddridge, Arkansas – Rancher Ricky Lummus is 43-years-old. He has been raising animals for half his life. Nine years ago, he and his family moved on to 90 acres in southwestern Arkansas between Bloomberg, Texas, and Doddridge, Arkansas, very near the “T-border” where Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana come together. He runs his cattle with cow dogs. Recently he added two male puppies about two-months-old to his other five dogs for a total of seven.Click for report.

Chronic Wasting Disease Has Spread to New York State Captive Deer

“If it was a positive CWD animal, I would not eat it. In the infectious prion form, we hope the species barrier will protect us. But the recent history of BSE (Mad Cow) suggests it has not.”

Part 8: UFO Crash/Retrievals: Status Report III – Amassing The Evidence

"The Colonel stated that underground installations, as well as isolated areas of military reservations, have squadrons of unmarked helicopters which have sophisticated instrumentation on board. Squadrons are dispatched to areas of UFO activity to monitor the craft or airlift them out of the area if one has malfunctioned."

CASE B-4: 1962, Crashed Disk In Northern New Mexico

[Editor's Note: Carswell AFB was one of the first Strategic Air Command bases, originally created on July 18, 1916.]

Researcher Tommy Blann met Lt. Colonel X through a friend of another military officer stationed at Carswell AFB. 'There were many exchanges of communications between myself, my friend and the other officer before the Colonel decided to meet me in person,' commented Blann in his personal summary of the discussion, recorded March 14, 1975, which Tommy obliged to send me in November 1981.

What’s Killing Off Marine Life Every 62 Million Years?

Apri1 1, 2005  Berkeley, California - Whatever humans do, or don't do, in this century to help sustain the Earth's ecosystem, it appears that our planet has endured some kind of assault every 62 million years which kills marine life all over the world. The last big global catastrophe is definitely linked to the impact of a large asteroid near the Yucatan Peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago. About 75% of all living creatures in the oceans and on land were literally wiped out to extinction, including the dinosaurs. Could there be a 62-million-year cycle of asteroids, comets or other cosmic debris that affects our solar system and Earth? Or is it fluctuations in our Sun? Or the periodic volcanic violence of our own planet? Or something else?

Soft Tissue – Even Blood Cells? – Found in Tyrannosaurus rex Leg Bone

April 1, 2005  Raleigh, North Carolina - One of the most awesome creatures that ever walked on Earth was the 20-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus rex, or T-rex. It was a big meat eater with many sharp teeth as long as six inches in a head that could be five feet long. Sixty-five million years ago, the big dinosaurs were roaming what is now called the Hell Creek Formation in the state of Montana when an asteroid, maybe 6 miles in diameter, hit the Earth near the Yucatan Peninsula. That violent impact and its subsequent fires and dust blocked sunlight around the world for months and killed off more than 75% of all Earth life. Thirty-one dinosaur skeletons have been found at the Hell Creek Formation in the past four years by Montana State University paleontologist, Jack Horner. And one of those is the first dinosaur remains to have stretchy tissue and even what appears to be blood cells inside one of its leg bones. This astonishing discovery recently published in the March 2005 journal, Science, was made by biologist and paleontologist, Mary Higby Schweitzer, Ph.D., at North Carolina State University's Dept. of Marine Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

U. N. Reports Earth’s Ecosystem Deteriorating Rapidly – Will Humans Change Bleak Future?

“This (U. N.) report is essentially an audit of nature’s economy, and the audit shows we’ve driven most of the accounts into the red.”

– Jonathan Lash, World Resources Institute

March 31, 2005 Washington, D. C. –  This week, the United Nation’s Millennium Ecosystem Assessment program held press conferences in London, Washington, D.C., Tokyo, Beijing, New Delhi, Brasilia, Cairo, Nairobi and Rome to announce results from an unprecedented study of the Earth’s ecosystem by more than 1300 scientists from 95 countries that began in 2001. The current data is sobering. Fifteen of the twenty-four services the assessment analyzed have degraded – most notably fresh air and water, fisheries, water purification, forests, other habitats and the regulation of climate, natural hazards and pests. Click for report.

"...they had just witnessed a large military force capture an object which a lot of people would call a UFO. He added that 'this realization came as quite a shock to us all.' He and a majority of the others felt it was too alien to be man-made."

Spirit Rover Finds Magnesium Sulfate Near “Larry’s Lookout” in Columbia Hills on Mars.

March 26, 2005   Albuquerque, New Mexico - Earthfiles is staying in touch with Larry Crumpler, Ph. D., Mars Spirit Rover Mission and Research Curator, who receives data from Spirit and designs maps based on rover data. Dr. Crumpler is based in the Volcanology and Space Science Department at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is the scientist after whom "Larry's Lookout" was named in the Gusev Crater's Columbia Hills.

This week he emailed me twice about Spirit's long trek across the Columbia Hills and included the stunning image of Martian soil rich in magnesium sulfate. No question that Mars was wetter when the Columbia Hills rocks were deposited before the Martian climate suddenly changed very early in the red planet's history to greater dryness. See more information in Earthfiles 022505.
