New 2002 Crop Formations in Wiltshire and Sussex, England

Three formations have now appeared in Wiltshire, England near the famous stone circles of Avebury and Europe's largest artificial mound, Silbury Hill. Many formations have appeared in the same geographic places since 1990, sometimes in the exact position of previous years.

June 4, 2002  Avebury Trusloe, Wiltshire, England - For days prior to Saturday, June 1, rain had been falling hard on the crops in the famous farm county of Wiltshire, England. Then between the night of June 1 and 6 a.m. June 2, something touched young, green, 4-foot-high barley growing in a field near the famous and ancient ring of large sarsen granite stones in Avebury. The farm owner, a Mr. Butler, said he knew the barley was normal the day of June 1, so he was surprised and amazed to find a 180-foot-diameter formation of most intricate design at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. According to Mr. Butler and a couple of other people who came along, the pattern was in pristine condition. No one could find tracks or other evidence of entry in the wet, rain-soaked mud.On June 2nd, Charles Mallett - new owner with his wife, Frances, of the Silent Circle Cafe in Cherhill not far from Avebury - heard about the new formation and went to see it. Charles has been in dozens of crop patterns and later talked with me by phone about his impressions.

EPA Admits Humans Burning Fossil Fuels A Big Factor in Global Warming

June 3, 2002, The New York Times front page.

June 3, 2002 Boulder, Colorado - Today the Bush Administration and its Environmental Protection Agency made the front page of The New York Times above the fold with an admission that human burning of fossil fuels is largely responsible for increasing greenhouse gases around the earth and global warming. Times reporter, Andrew Revkin, based his report on a 268-page document quietly submitted earlier this spring by the EPA to the United Nations entitled, "U. S. Climate Action Report - 2002, the Third National Communication of the United States of America Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change." In that agreement with the U. N., the United States is honor bound to report every five years on the progress this county is making on environmental issues. Reporter Revkin said the EPA report "strongly concludes that no matter what is done to cut emissions in the future, nothing can be done about the environmental consequences of several decades' worth of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases already in the atmosphere.

June 1, 2002  Pasadena, California - Since NASA's 1976 Viking missions, Mars has been thought by most people to be dry, dusty and dead, marked with ancient river channels and gullies that meant water had been there once upon a time. For several decades, traces of atmospheric water and some water ice along with frozen carbon dioxide at the poles had been known. But where had all the water gone that had once flowed through the rivers and canyons? Apparently, the oxidized, rusty surface has been deceiving. Less than a meter below the red rocks and dust in very cold regions, scientists have found a signal for the element hydrogen that is so strong it's assumed to be frozen H2O (water), according to this week's journal Science.

Part 1 – U. S. Nuclear Power Plants On Heightened Alert After Nuclear Regulatory Commission Warning

 

103 nuclear power plants in the United States above supply about twenty percent of the natin's electricity. Some states such as Kansas have only one reactor. Others such as Pennsylvania have nine reactors, including Three Mile Island which is near the Harrisburg International Airport. Graphic © 2001 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

May 25, 2002  Washington, D. C. - This Memorial Day weekend, the U. S. government has announced several terrorist threat warnings. The latest came from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission placing all 103 nuclear power plants throughout the country on a heightened state of alert. This weekend the FBI also warned of possible underwater terrorist attacks by scuba divers that could target nuclear power plants as well. Recently intelligence sources warned that on the Fourth of July, Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island (TMI) could be the target of an Al Qaeda attack. In fact, there is concern that spent radioactive fuel could be stolen to produce a dirty bomb to be set off at nuclear power plants.

  • Nuclear material was Uranium 235.
  • Energy released was equivalent to 12.5 kilotons of TNT dynamite.
  • Maximum temperature at burst point was several million degrees centigrade.
  • A fireball of 30 meters diameter formed in 0.1 millisecond, with a temperature of 300,000 degrees centigrade and expanded to its maximum size in one second.
  • The top of the atomic cloud reached an altitude of 17,000 meters.
  • Radioactive debris was deposited by "black rain" that fell heavily for an hour over a wide area.
  • Maximum wind pressure of the blast: 35 tons per square meter.
  • Maximum wind velocity: 440 meters per second.
  • Wooden houses within 2.3 kilometers of ground zero collapsed.
  • Concrete buildings near ground zero hit by the blast from above had ceilings crushed and windows and doors blown off.
  • Many people were trapped under fallen structures and burned to death.
  • People exposed within 500 meters of ground zero were killed by the radiation.
  • People exposed at distances of 3 to 5 kilometers later showed radiation symptoms, including radiation-induced cancers.
  • More than 100,000 people died in the atomic explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

May 25, 2002  Washington, D. C. - The terms "suitcase nukes" and "dirty bombs" do not refer to the same radioactive weapon. A suitcase nuke in the 21st Century is about the size of the atom bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 that ended World War II. Bomb making technology advanced so much during the Cold War with the Soviet Union that scientists were making similar bombs as small as suitcases, hence the name. Building atomic bombs, small or large, is not easy and the only country thought to have such weapons is Russia. But no one knows for certain where suitcase nukes might be or if any have been sold to countries such as Iran or Iraq.

A Bull Mutilation in Christmas Valley, Oregon

Dozens of animal mutilations and strange unidentified aerial lights have been reported   over several decades in Oregon's Sand Springs region and south into Christmas Valley.
Dozens of animal mutilations and strange unidentified aerial lights have been reported over several decades in Oregon's Sand Springs region and south into Christmas Valley.

May 18, 2002  Fort Rock, Oregon - There is a new report from the Lake County, Oregon Sheriff's Office this month of a bull mutilation in the Christmas Valley of Oregon southeast of Bend. It seems to be a continuation of animal mutilations and very strange aerial lights near the Sand Springs region over the past several decades. One rancher there in 1980 even described seeing cattle drawn up into glowing discs in the sky and dropped back down to the ground, dead and mutilated, the weight of their bodies making craters in the dusty soil. Oregon resident, Dwain Wright, talked with that Sand Springs rancher and described the incident for me when I was producing my documentary Strange Harvests 1993 and my book Glimpses of Other Realities, Vol. II: High Strangeness (see Earthfiles Shop). Here is a brief excerpt from that interview:
