Expedition to Baltic Sea Mystery

“In mid-May 2012, we are preparing an expedition with more sophisticated sonars, cameras and other equipment to hopefully determine what these strange objects are and if it is safe to try a dive to them.”

- Peter Lindberg, Co-Owner, Ocean Explorer, Stockholm, Sweden

The red circle marks Stockholm, Sweden, facing the Baltic Sea, one of the largest brackish seas in the world. The water is a mixture of fresh and salt waters, but only about 35% as salty as the ocean. The Baltic waters are so murky that divers cannot see more than a few feet. The basin between Sweden and Finland was formed by glacial erosion. The Baltic Sea is about 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) long and averages 193 kilometers (120 miles) wide, with depths ranging from 55 meters (180 feet) to the maximum depth of 459 meters (1,506 feet).

March 30, 2012  Stockholm, Sweden - The Baltic Sea is a good preservative. The salt content is low and there are no wood-burrowing organisms. Andreas Olsson, Head of Archaeology at the Swedish Maritime Museum, estimates there could be 20,000 ship wrecks on the Baltic Sea floor. “It's like a ship wreck laboratory - the best in the world” where the cold, dark water has preserved sunken objects for centuries.

Updated with boom audio Part 2:  Boom Phenomenon in Several States and Canada

“Early Saturday morning on March 17th, 2012, at 5:42 a.m., I was awakened by a single, very intense explosion. The concussion shook the building and was not accompanied by any other sound. Just one explosion that came from out of nowhere and then silence.”

Return to Part 1

March 30, 2012  Albuquerque, New Mexico - Since February 2012, Earthfiles has received an increasing number of loud, jolting boom reports from all over North America - and one report from Latvia. So, the March 18 to March 28, 2012, persistent booms in Clintonville, Wisconsin, are part of a larger pattern that are not explained by the March 20, 2012, small 1.5 magnitude quake that USGS recorded in the vicinity of Clintonville.

Part 1: Japan Is Burning Radioactive Debris Until 2014

“Tokyo soil samples would be considered nuclear waste in the U. S.”

- Arnie Gundersen, Nuclear Engineer, Fairewinds

The New York Times, March 29, 2012.
The New York Times, March 29, 2012.

March 30, 2012  Burlington, Vermont - On March 29, 2012, The New York Times reported under a headline “Japan Admits Nuclear Plant Still Poses Dangers” that the “damage to the core of at least one of the meltdown-stricken reactors at Fukushima could be far worse than previously thought, raising fresh concerns over the plant's stability and gravely complicating the post-disaster cleanup.” The source is an internal investigation released this week by the Tokyo Electric Power plant operator, also known as TEPCO, is the manager of the Fukushima nuclear power planet. The TEPCO investigation has revealed that the Unit No. 2 reactor barely has water in the containment vessel that holds the radioactive fuel rods. Unit 2 has only two feet of water instead of the 33 feet its supposed to have to keep the fuel rods stable.

More Half-Cat Mutilations in Vancouver, B. C. Region

“In many of these incidents the cats have been severed
almost perfectly in half with a sharp object.”

- Marcie Moriarty, Provincial SPCA Cruelty Investigations, March 23, 2012

X-ray of back half of mutilated cat examined by veterinarian Cherie Good, D. V. M., in August 2003, found in Bothel, Washington, south of Vancouver, B. C., Canada. The half-cat phenomenon in the Vancouver region has been reported since at least the early 1990s. See Archive:  091203 Earthfiles.

March 24, 2012  Vancouver, B. C., Canada - Seven months ago the SPCA in Maple Ridge, B. C., Canada, east of Vancouver, reported between July 15 and September 15, 2011, that four cats were found dead and bloodlessly mutilated - including a cat's head removed. Other half cats had been found as early as June 2011, in this related ongoing round of cat attacks in the Vancouver region. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) also confirms that at least seven cats had been found cut in half in White Rock, Surrey and Langley in October 2010.

Airborne Nicotine-Based Insecticide Residues from Pneumatic Drilling/Seeding Machines Kill Honey Bees

“Experimental results show that the environmental release of particles containing neonicotinoids can produce high exposure levels for bees, with lethal effects compatible with colony losses phenomena observed by beekeepers.”

Western honey bee, or European honey bee (Apis mellifera), gathering pollen from purple aster.

March 17, 2012  Padova, Italy - Back in February 2007, at the beginning of the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the first honey bee grower that Earthfiles interviewed was Dave Hackenberg, owner of Hackenberg Apiaries in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Dave and his family had been raising honey bees for half a century when he was shocked to find in the winter of 2006 to 2007 that nearly 80% of his honey bees disappeared or died. For the first time in his life, Dave went into debt to stay in business.

- “It struck me as odd that these loud noises were so deep,
extended, and beyond what I have ever heard
in my flight engineer work before.”

- Seattle, WA flight engineer

- “It was a noise that literally shook our home.
There was some panic there because you know when
you hear that noise as far-reaching as it was - and not only
hearing it, but feeling it - you want to know, ‘What is this?’”

- Officer Todd Rhodes, Brunswick Police Dept., Georgia

What Was Mysterious Dark Circle Near Sun?

“As part of coronal mass ejections (CME) from quiet Sun regions (not from magnetically active regions with sunspots in them), we believe there often is a big sausage-shaped structure floating above the solar surface, underneath which a curtain of cool, dense material exists.”

- Karel Schrijver, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, AIA Instrument,
NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory

See 21-second YouTube edited mp3 video excerpted from hours-long solar video on March 11, 2012. Original video from NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) and its Atmospheric Image Assembly (AIA) based in the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), Palo Alto, California. AIA provides full-disk imaging of the Sun in several ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) band passes at high spatial and temporal resolution. See SDO AIA.

March 15, 2012   Palo Alto, California, and Huntsville, Alabama - Recently YouTube videos about the March 11, 2012, solar event above were buzzed about on the internet because everyone wondered what the big “circle,” or “sphere” was and what it was doing with the dark tendril extending down to the surface of the sun.  The original source of the video is NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) and its Atmospheric Image Assembly (AIA) based in the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), Palo Alto, California.

Why Kukulkan Beam Is Likely iPhone Vertical Banding

“The Apple iPhone photo that Hector Siliezar took on July 24, 2009,
at 2:00:31 PM in front of the Mayan El Castillo (Kukulkan) pyramid
at Chichen Itza as a thunderstorm began appears to be an iPhone
glitch of banding caused by the lightning strike.”

- Joe Thibodeau, Embedded Systems Engineer

“None of the technical explanations offered succeed in explaining
why the column of light stops precisely at the top of the pyramid.
This cannot be dismissed as a variant of a technical effect because the
coincidence is simply too implausible. It requires convincing explanation.”

- Whitley Strieber, Author, Solving the Communion Enigma,
and Publisher, Unknowncountry.com

 

Apple iPhone photo that Hector Siliezar took on July 24, 2009, at 2:00:31 PM in front of the Mayan El Castillo (Kukulkan) pyramid at Chichen Itza as a thunderstorm began and lightning was captured to the left of the “beam.” Foreground left to right:  Stephanie Siliezar then 9 and Destiny Siliezar then 5.

March 12, 2012   Forest Knolls, California - On February 21, 2012, Earthfiles reported “Mayan Kukulkan Pyramid Emits Light Beam in iPhone Photo.”  See 022112 Earthfiles. For that Earthfiles report, I interviewed the original photographer of the Kukulkan beam image, Hector Siliezar, and his wife Glenda Hernadez, who provided the metadata for each of three photographs. Hector took the photos rapidly in succession and only the third contained the pale pink beam rising from the top of the pyramid.
