February 21, 2000 Phoenix, Arizona - Another unusual aerial object was seen in the sky over Phoenix by a family of three on June 28, 1999 and now they are coming forward in hopes that someone else might have seen the object, too. Dan Heaton, his wife Lorraine and their 30-year-old daughter, Kim, were driving home at 10:20 PM when Mr. Heaton first noticed a diamond or square pattern of lights coming so low that he pulled the car over and asked his wife and daughter to get out and watch with him. Dan has worked for the same insurance company for twenty-nine years and had U. S. Air Force training when he was younger. He told me, "I know planes and I generally know what we have, but my family and I had never seen anything like this before."

433 Eros, Orbiting An Asteroid Up Close

Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) satellite photographs here and below of an asteroid called 433 Eros. NEAR moved into orbit around the 25 mile long asteroid on February 14, 2000 and took the first images from a range of 210 miles (330 km) above the asteroid's surface. Eros is about a hundred million miles from Earth in the asteroid belt between Earth and Mars. Photographs courtesy NASA and Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland.

February 16, 2000  Baltimore, Maryland - It looks a bit like a 25 mile long, five mile wide potato. In one photo, it even resembles a Dutch shoe. Called 433 Eros, it's made out of iron and magnesium-bearing silicates and is now the focus of a NASA satellite called NEAR, Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous. NEAR moved into orbit around Eros on February 14 and will stay there for the next year. Eros is one of the biggest asteroids in our Solar System circling between the earth and Mars. It's almost twice the size of Manhattan, measuring about 25 miles long and nearly five miles wide.

Large Yellow Sphere In Snohomish, Washington


February 6, 2000 Everett, Washington - January 6th was a new moon, a night without moon light. The two previous evenings leading up to the new moon were nearly as dark. And yet, a husband and wife driving along a rural Snohomish, Washington road thought they saw the biggest, brightest full moon they had ever seen low over the Snohomish River. Back in the 1970s, many eyewitnesses throughout the United States, Canada and other parts of the world reported seeing "full moon"-sized glowing spheres hovering over rivers, farms and ranches. One area that has long had such reports, coupled with Sasquatch sightings and unusual animal deaths referred to as "animal mutilations," is Snohomish, Washington in wilderness country northeast of Seattle.

Microwaves and Cell Phones – An Update

February 5, 2000 Christ Church, New Zealand - Since my January 30th radio and Earthfiles reports about the microwave research of Neil Cherry, Ph.D., Biophysicist at Lincoln University in Christ Church, New Zealand, I have received many questions from viewers and listeners. Dr. Cherry considers the proliferation of cell phones, microwave towers and microwave pollution to be a serious contributor to cancer, brain tumors and increasing neurological problems among the human population. Several thousand more microwave towers are expected to be built in the United States in the next few years. The following are a series of audience questions and Dr. Cherry's responses this week.

More Bans on Cell Phone Use by Drivers

Microwave Tower.
Microwave Tower.

January 30, 2000 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - First an Ohio town banned cell phone use by drivers. Now, the borough of Conshohocken west of Philadelphia has become the second community in Pennsylvania to prohibit motor vehicle drivers from using cell phones while driving. Pennsylvania's governor is even considering a legislative proposal to ban cell phone use by drivers throughout the state. Recently a 2-year-old girl was killed in a collision caused by a driver dialing a cell phone. Another child was recently killed by a distracted cell phone user. Conshohocken Police Chief James Dougherty added, "We've had problems with people driving through town talking on cell phones where they've almost hit people. They're not paying attention."

Black Hole Mystery at the Center of the Andromeda Galaxy

Two million light years away from our own Milky Way galaxy is the Andromeda galaxy photographed here. It is a spiral shape like the Milky Way galaxy and can be faintly seen with the naked eye in the northern sky. Photo courtesy NASA.

"Chandra's x-ray image of the cool temperatures in the black hole at the center of the Andromeda galaxy kind of flies in the face of what we think happens when matter falls into a black hole. It usually gets very hot.So, this is sort of a unique observation. I'm not aware of any other black hole systems where you see such cool x-ray radiation."

- Eliot Quataert, Ph.D., Astrophysicist -

January 28, 2000  Princeton, New Jersey - Observing x-ray and gamma ray emissions suggestive of a black hole at the center of many galaxies is old hat these days for astrophysicists. Our own Milky Way galaxy seems to have one and so does its nearby twin, the Andromeda galaxy. The suspected black hole at the center of the Milky Way is two and a half times more massive than our sun. But a black hole candidate at the center of Andromeda is 30 million times more massive than our sun.

Possible Link Between 100,000 Lobster Deaths and Pesticide Spraying




January 23, 2000  Guilford, Connecticut - This week fishermen from the Connecticut Commercial Lobstermen's Association met with state and federal officials to discuss why 100,000 lobsters died this past fall in Long Island Sound. Pathologists confirmed an amoeba which invades marine animals when their immune systems are weakened was pervasive throughout the dead lobsters. But what weakened the creatures' immune systems?

Chandra Telescope Helps Solve X-Ray Mystery

"Since it was first observed thirty-seven years ago, understanding the source of the X-ray background has been the Holy Grail of X-ray astronomy. Now, it is within reach."

- Dr. Alan Bunner, Director
NASA's Structure and Evolution of the Universe

X-Ray Image: A view of our galaxy from the all-sky image by the German-led ROSAT x-ray observatory research "oriented so that the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy runs horizontally through the center. Both x-ray brightness and relative energy are represented with red, green and blue colors from lowest energy to highest. Over large areas of the sky a general diffuse background of x-rays dominates." Provided by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama.

January 17, 2000  Huntsville, Alabama - NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory was launched only five months ago, but it continues to astonish astronomers with its discoveries. One of the most perplexing cosmic mysteries has been the source of x-ray radiation that seems to pervade the universe.

Crop Circle Mysteries – A New Book


January 16, 2000  Petersfield, Hampshire, England - Five hundred years before Christ, a Greek named Empedocles wrote, "The Nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere."

Those words begin a new and beautiful book called Crop Circles, The Greatest Mystery of Modern Times by British author and researcher, Lucy Pringle. She is a founding member of the Center for Crop Circle Studies and Chairman of the Unexplained Phenomena Research Society in the U. K. She is currently coordinating research into the effects of electromagnetic fields on living matter and has over six hundred reports in her data base.

Computer Projections About Earth Weather 2000-2100


January 13, 2000  Boulder, Colorado - What happens to global weather systems if the earth warms up several more degrees Fahrenheit in the future? That's a question that the Pew Center on Global Climate Change in Arlington, Virginia wanted to know. So, they went to a climate expert Dr. Tom Wigley at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Wigley received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Adelaide in Australia in 1967 and has become a climate expert. The past six years he has focused on computer models of earth weather systems to project the effects of ever-increasing greenhouse gasses. Recently, Dr. Wigley's computer research was released by the Pew Center.
