There is evidence that Mt. Rainier, within sight of Seattle, is getting closer to an eruption. Reports from Canadian sources monitoring the mountain say that a possible volcanic eruption is coming soon, although this was quickly dismissed by the U.S Geological Service (USGS).

However, reporters have witnessed a growing dome over on the southeast side of the mountain face. Last week, sources from the University of Washington said that mud was seen flowing from the mountain. Mt. Rainier has been upgraded to a Level 2 – meaning a possible eruption in 30 to 90 days.

Two unusual crop formations have appeared in a field near a British radio telescope. One of them is a schematic similar to an image transmitted by the Arecibo radio telescope in 1974.

The broadcast consisted of a transmission of a pictorial message, which has been approximated in one of the two crop formations. The transmission was beamed toward the globular star cluster M13. The cluster is 21,000 light years from earth, and is located near the edge of our galaxy. It contains approximately 300,000 stars. The broadcast used Arecibo’s megawatt transmitter and its 305 meter antenna. It was the equivalent of a twenty trillion watt wide broadcast, but was focused on a very narrow area of the sky.

The most powerful solar flare since April has unexpectedly erupted, causing radio blackouts across the sunlit side of the earth at this time. Sunspot group AR9591 unleashed the flare at 12:45PM Eastern Daylight Time today. The explosion also sent a brilliant coronal mass ejection into space. However, the CME is not heading directly toward earth, although it might touch us on Sunday or Monday.

The flare emitted in April was the most powerful ever seen. The current flare is still under measurement, but it is an X5 flare, the strongest type observed.

On June 13, 1999, a crop formation was discovered at Chilbolton that represented a Sierpenski Sieve, a type of fractal that is used in the construction of Fractal antennas.

The formation appeared close to the Chilbolton Radio Telescope, in the same area that a recent schematic of the 1975 Arecibo transmission and an apparent face have appeared. (See Unknowncountry.com news links below.)

Fractal antennas are a recent innovation that allows much more precise tuning than normal antennas. The Sierpenski Sieve, in particular, is a fractal design used as a monopole over an infinite ground plane.
