Andy Thomas writes in swirlednews.com. that a 1995 crop circle, in the form of an astronomical diagram, showed our solar system as it will look on September 6, 2003. Last June, a crop circle in Belgium seemed to point to August 11, as a similar one in July of 2001 had pointed to 9/11. On August 11, a massive terrorist plot in the mideast was thwarted, then the Eastern blackout hit on the 12th. Many crop circle formations in the mid-1990s showed clear astronomical diagrams, depicting alignments of stars and planets that took place, or will take place in the future. Will the September 6 date prove important? We’ll find out in a few days.

He says, “This is the sixth in a series of controlled experiments. This isn’t about some kiddy writing viruses in his bedroom?this is really a very sophisticated example of organized crime.”

Will Sturgeon writes that Simpson fears that computer techs are so busy getting rid of the Sobig infection that they?ll “take their eyes off the ball” and ignore the real threat. And he thinks there are worse threats to come.

Laboratory tests show the virus responsible for the respiratory illness that recently affected 150 people is not SARS. “We have clearly found large sequences of the virus that are not present in the SARS coronavirus,” says epidemiologist David Patrick. This new virus looks like SARS and acts like a milder version of the disease, but is not actually severe acute respiratory syndrome.

Russian scientists have announced plans to build a nuclear power station on Mars, and should have it up and running by 2030. These are the people who created the infamous Chernobyl nuclear power plant that blew up in 1986, releasing clouds of radioactive material that exposed Northern Europe to radioactivity 100 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb.

Artyom Liss writes for BBC News that the power plant is being designed to power a permanent Mars research station, which the Russians plan to build in a mountainous area of the planet. The problem is how to transport the heavy building blocks needed to build the plant. And which space shuttle is going to volunteer to transport the plutonium?
