"No one had any idea what this thing was, but everyone in the carwas visibly freaked out by it." - rajman1977, Capitola Rajman1977 Image 0016, taken with a Konica Minolta DiMAGE X on May 16, 2007, in Capitola, California.

Tune In Dreamland Online "The western Antarctic ice melt was unprecedented. We’d never seen anything like this in the past 25 years." - Ted Scambos, Ph.D., Glaciologist, NSIDC Click for Earthfiles Podcast Yellow and red colors on western Antarctica indicate where NASA's QuikScat satellite in January 2005 detected snowmeltby radar pulses that bounced off ice formed when snowmelt refroze. The unprecedented ice melt was equal to the size of California. Image courtesy NASA/JPL. May 17, 2007 - Wheat Circles in Epps, Louisiana, and Alfalfa Circles in Red Bluff, California. Report upcoming.

"The design strategy of charged ion / shaped plasma 'buoyancy' devicesdoes bear some relevancy here. For instance, the circular array of curved 'antennae' coming out of the center of the device is very similar to a form of wave guide / shaping mechanism for a charged plasma / ion field." - Nanotech Engineer May 15, 2007 - Odd Aerial "Drones"? Over Lake Tahoe and Central California. Click for report.

Both photographers request anonymity. May 15, 2007 - Hubble Finds Dark Matter Ring. Click for report. "This is the first time we have detected dark matter as having a unique structure that is different from both the gas and galaxies in the cluster." - M. James Jee, Ph.D., Astronomer, Johns Hopkins University The dark matter ring was found within the galaxy cluster Cl 0024+17 (ZwCl 0024+1652), located 5 billion light-years from Earth. The ring measures 2.6 million light-years across. Image courtesy Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute/NASA. May 15, 2007 - Half Rabbit and 10 Others Found DeadAt Long Beach City College, California. "This number of rabbits at the same time certainly piqued our interest. The rabbits are part of our campus for good or bad and we try not to hurt them." - Eloy Oakley, Superintendent-President, LBCC Rabbits have cohabited with students for 80 years at the Long Beach City College in California. So, the eleven dead rabbits discoveredon Monday, May 14, 2007, including the front half of one "cut off perfectly in half withprecision" is unprecedented. Image © 2007 by Steven Georges/Press-Telegram. On Monday, May 14, 2007, Long Beach City College gardener, Jeff Kyle, found eleven dead rabbits on the northern side of Carson Avenue near the college's English and Language Arts building. Kyle told the school's Viking Newspaper that the front half of one rabbit "was cut off perfectly in half with precision." No blood was described. The week before, two opossoms had been found - one mutilated - at the El Dorado Nature Center about 4.5 miles southwest of the Long Beach college. Anyone with information should call LBCC police at (562) 938-4807. May 14, 2007 Updated - Environmental Emergencies:Ebola-like Virus Killing Great Lakes Fish. Click for report. "It is a major fish health crisis now in Wisconsin." - Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources "VHS is catastrophic certainly within the context of the Great Lakesecosystem and the fishery resources. As a fish health problem, it is in fact catastrophic." - Jim Winton, Ph.D., USGS Fish Health Skin bleeding on Great Lakes fish infected with Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia virus (VHSv) © 2006 by Jim Winton, Ph.D., USGS, Seattle;Paul Bowser, Ph.D., Cornell Univ., Ithaca. Click for Earthfiles Podcast May 14, 2007 - Most Toxic West Coast Algae Bloom in Years Is Killing Sea Lions, Dolphins and Sea Birds. “The concentration of the toxin is so great this year that wehaven't had a chance to react to it. Normally we are able to flush outthe toxin with a treatment regimen to the birds we care for. This year they're just coming in dead.” - Lisa Birkle, Asst. Dir.,Wetland and Wildlife Care Center, Huntington Beach, Calif. Kirsten Sedlick, an animal care supervisor at the Pacific MarineMammal Center in Laguna Beach, tried to help a rescued sea lion througha seizure. It's one of the sea lions rescued off local beaches with domoic acid poisoningthat causes brain damage and is often fatal. Image © 2007 Orange County Register. California issued a quarantine May 10, 2007, on locally harvested shellfish, sardines, lobster and other seafood after a huge sea algae bloom has released domoic acid into the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and San Diego. More than a thousand sea lions, at least fifty dolphins and hundreds of sea birds have died and washed up on California beaches, while many more marine animals, including whales, are ill. In mammals, including humans, domoic acid acts as a neurotoxin, causing short-term memory loss, brain damage, and death in severe cases. In marine mammals, domoic acid typically causes seizures and tremors. Experts say little can be done to save infected animals once the toxin causes brain damage.

This done in almost every animal you can think of.”- Judy Doraty, Houston, Texas May 12, 2007 - Scientists Puzzled by Metal That Fell Into NJ House. Wednesday morning, January 3, 2007, this metal objectweighing about 13 ounces fell through the roof of a two-story housein Freehold Township, New Jersey. The object broke bathroom floor tiles as itbounced and stuck in a wall. Freehold Township police investigators reportedthe metal was not radioactive. Image courtesy Freehold Township, NJ Police Dept. (FTPD). Scientists from Rutgers University and the American Museum of Natural History reported May 11, that the New Jersey metal object is not a meteorite. The strange metal substance has been identified as a "stainless steel alloy that does not occur in nature." The metal object fell straight down through the New Jersey house roof with some force, but what was its origin? To date, scientists still do not know. May 11, 2007 - CIA Origin National Enquirer? Click for report. Click for Earthfiles Podcast "It would have been very natural for someone who just came out of the CIA Psychological Warfare Division to appeal to the CIA for funding, or at least be qualified to obtain funding for some type of propaganda operationsuch as a National Enquirer tabloid." - Terry Hansen, Author, The Missing Times May 9, 2007 - South China Pigs Bleeding and Dying: Cause Unknown. 300 pigs in Yunfu and Gaoyao, towns in southernChina's Guandong Province, have become ill, bleeding and diedin the past two weeks.
