Juan de Fuca Ridge: 4,000 Small Quakes West of Vancouver Island, Feb. 27 – Mar. 4.

One hundred miles west of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, 4,000 small earthquakes swarmed between February 27 and March 4, 2005. There, the Juan de Fuca Plate moves downward below the North American Plate along the seismically active Ring of Fire. A large motion downward of the Juan de Fuca Plate could push the North American Plate violently upward in a major earthquake and possibly Indonesia-sized tsunami.

March 10, 2005  Newport, Oregon – An abnormally large number of small earthquakes swarmed in the Juan de Fuca region off Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, between February and March 4. Then on March 8, 2005, Mount St. Helens released a 30,000-foot-high plume of gas and ash. Offshore, U. S. Navy hydrophones picked up at least 4,000 low magnitude rumblings over six days, which provoked university and NOAA scientists to recently dive down to the sea floor to check out what was happening. Of all the seismic regions off shore around the continental United States, the Juan de Fuca ridge is one that could have a subduction event in which plates violently slide over each other as they did in the huge December Indonesian event. If that did happen in Juan de Fuca, there could be a very large tsunami as well.Click for report.

Puget Sound Navy Ship Yard near Bremerton, Washington, west of Seattle.

March 7, 2005  Shelton, Washington - Jim Strong's interest in unidentified flying objects began during his U. S. Air Force work from February 1964 to February 1968. He was trained at Keesler Technical Training Center in Biloxi, Mississippi, in advanced electronics and radar. Then he was stationed with the 757 Radar Squadron at Blaine AFB on the Canadian border. Once there, Jim was assigned to the Search Radar unit. [Editor's Note: In search radar, the antenna goes around in a circle and picks off the azimuth, or direction, of aircraft. In height finder radar, the antenna nods up and down.]

Part 3: UFO Crash/Retrievals: Status Report III – Amassing The Evidence

"[N. J. state trooper] described aerial object as oval-shaped, with no details, and glowing with a bluish-green color. His radio transmission was cut off. At that time in front of his police car appeared a thing, about 4 feet tall, greyish-brown, fat head, long arms and slender body."

- USAF Security Policeman

"Fred Schaefer's report on KA's aftermath:

Since 1954, when this incident allegedly occurred, KA has been having intermittent nightmares about his experience in the desert. During the year 1981, these nightmares have grown in intensity and frequency, causing KA much anguish. During the lecture at Edmund Scientific Company in March, KA saw his opportunity to reveal details of his UFO retrieval experience to someone who would lend an understanding ear; thereby helping to alleviate his mental torment.

Subterranean Life On Earth – and Mars?

"I do believe there is life inside the planet Mars, maybe 50 to 100 meters below the surface. But there is a long way to go to demonstrate that."

March 4, 2005  Socorro, New Mexico - Last week at the first European Space Agency Mars Express Orbiter conference in The Netherlands, the Italian physicist Vittorio Formisano presented data about not only methane and water vapor in the Martian atmosphere, but formaldehyde. Small amounts of formaldehyde had also been reported by NASA and attributed to the oxidation and break down of methane.

What Made Five Strong Radio Bursts At the Center of Our Galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy is a large spiral galaxy very similar to our own Galaxy, the Milky Way. It is over 65,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 2.2 million light-years away from Earth. From Earth to the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is 8,500 parsecs ­ about 26,000 light years ­ the densest region. Andromeda image by T.A.Rector and B.A.Wolpa/NOAO/AURA/NSF.

March 3, 2005  Sweet Briar, Virginia- The current British journal, Nature, features a report about a powerful and repeating burst of radio waves toward the center of our Milky Way galaxy that are unlike any other radio bursts ever monitored on Earth. The unique event took place the night of September 30 to October 1, 2002. It has taken three years for the data to be thoroughly analyzed, compared to archive data, and finally reported publicly as a unique and puzzling event in human study of our universe. The lead scientist on the Nature article is Scott Hyman, Professor of Physics at Sweet Briar College in Virginia, who for five years has been studying the Milky Way's galactic center for the Naval Research Laboratory.

Part 2: UFO Crash/Retrievals: Status Report III – Amassing The Evidence

"The saucer-like object had a stationary dome in the center, but the outer rim was still spinning in a counter-clockwise direction, and the lights on this outer edge were rotating in the same direction. But what startled us more was the sight of four small bodies scattered outside the craft. They were motionless and appeared to be dead."

"THE FIRST PERSON REPORT: CLASSIFIED 'A'

This paper follows the reportorial pattern established in The UFO Crash/Retrieval Syndrome, Status Report II, published by MUFON in January 1980. As before, case history reports are divided into two parts. Reports from first person witnesses are classified as 'A,' while 'B' reports concern secondhand or intermediary information and other relative data submitted by researchers.

Part 1: UFO Crash/Retrievals: Status Report III – Amassing The Evidence

"I don't know of anyone who has access to the (Pentagon) blue room, nor am I aware of its contents and I am not aware of anything having been relocated. ...this thing (UFOs) has gotten so highly classified, even though I will admit there is a lot of it that has been released, it is just impossible to get anything on it."

"PROLOGUE: THE BIGGEST STORY EVER, NEVER TOLD

"Ever since World War II when the first UFOs, dubbed 'foo fighters,' became officially recognized, the mystery of their origin and intent has haunted the minds of man. Most ponder the puzzlement skeptically amused; others want to believe and straddle a philosophic fence guessing for answers. As we head into the decade of the 1980s, serious research has not found the answer either, or the proof to qualify an answer. Officially, the mystery remains ostensibly irresolvable. To those wary and who have taken the time to probe, the official position is as mysterious as the UFO itself.

Collapse of Societies: From Easter Island to Iraq – to Western World?

The statues of Rapa Nui on Easter Island are called moai in the Rapanui language. In the totem tradition of some other Polynesian cultures to honor ancestors and display strength and wealth, statues were carved from the island's lava stone between 900 A.D. and around 1500 A. D. Approximately half of the total of 887 statues documented to date still remain in the immediate vicinity of Rano Raraku, the quarry in which they were produced. The statues were transported and erected with the leverage help of the island's once abundant tall palm trees which were eventually all cut down. Photograph © Cliff Wassman.

February 26, 2005  Los Angeles, California – Among earth mysteries, some of the greatest are the haunting remains of past civilizations such as the Mayan pyramids of Mexico and Central America; the elaborate, deserted temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia; and the huge and heavy stone statues on remote Easter Island, 2300 miles west of Chile’ in South America. The island and its strange statues were not discovered until Easter Day on April 5, 1722 by a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen. Like all subsequent visitors, Roggeveen was puzzled about how the natives there had erected the large lava rock statues, one as tall as 39 feet. And why?Click for report.

Mars Spirit Rover Discovered Boundary Between Gusev Lava and Older, Water-Drenched Rocks in “Columbia Hills”

"The rocks in the Columbia Hills ­ they've seen a lot of water! They've been soaked, they've been altered, there is all sort of evidence that it was a different Mars when those rocks were laid down."

February 25, 2005  Albuquerque, New Mexico - There was a discovery by the Spirit Rover on Mars which thrilled NASA scientists in the summer of 2004. Both rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have been looking for hard geological evidence that Mars had a watery past. Spirit's discovery would hold up in a "court room" as solid evidence of water, one geologist told me. And if there was once a lot of water on the Martian surface, was there life in that water? If organisms did live in Martian water, could they still be frozen in surface ice - or even living today underground and in caves on Mars? Could living organisms explain methane, formaldehyde and water vapor reported in the Martian atmosphere?

FINAL Part 4: UFO Crash/Retrievals: Status Report IV – Fatal Encounter At Ft. Dix-McGuire

"After the shooting of the non-human entity], taking command was a new and unfamiliar team of Blue Berets that suddenly descended onto the scene, just moments after the runway had been cordoned off. With speed and efficiency, 'they took over,' he said, 'and when asked who they were, we were told nothing and ordered to stay outside the ropes.'"
