In light of the recent flood in Houston, it?s important to consider the state of 1,900 of the 100,000 dams in the U.S: they?re about to break.

The barrier across what used to be Lake Senneca in New Jersey was one of them until last August. ?I was standing there and it was shaking as if there was an earthquake,? says Ron Pietranowicz, a member of the neighborhood association that now owns the dam. ?Then the dam gave way right in the middle. Within an hour, the entire lake had emptied out.?

Fortunately, no houses were in the path of the water and there was no loss of life. Now there is only a large muddy pit with weeds growing out of it where the 20 acre lake used to be. Jetties stick out into empty air. The estimate to reconstruct the dam is $500,000.

An intricate new crop formation was found in the UK, one of the few this year that is highly likely to be of unknown origin. The circle was discovered on June 3 and was not seen by local residents in the field on June 2. It is west of Barrowden in the UK, relatively near a road. The circle consists of an outer ring about four feet wide. It contains an extremely complex pattern that would have taken many hours for human circle makers to complete.

The circle is in a barley field. It was discovered by Circular Review editor Nick Nicholson. To see larger images and read Mr. Nicholson’s report click here.

On Dreamland’s June 2, 2001 edition, Dr. Tom Van Flandern, author of Dark Matter Missing Planets and New Comets, said that recent Mars Orbiter photos appear to show images of vegetation on Mars, and even possible structures.

Now noted writer Arthur C. Clarke, in a speech at the Werner von Braun Memorial Lecture series held in Washington, D.C. on June 6, has stated that he believes that new images of Mars clearly show the red planet dotted with patches of vegetation, including trees. He spoke over the telephone from his home in Sri Lanka to an audience at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
