MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY WATCH

An impressive eruption was observed on the Sun just west of the central
solar meridian between around 09:00 and 16:00 UTC on 09 August (5 am and
noon
EDT on 09 August). This event appears to have been correlated with a partial
halo coronal mass ejection that was observed accelerating out of the corona
at velocities near or in excess of about 512 kilometers per second (1.8
million kilometers per hour or about 1.15 million miles per hour).

There is also a suspected high velocity solar wind stream enroute to
the
Earth emanating from a well placed and recurrent solar coronal hole. These
two disturbances may impact the Earth's magnetosphere and produce periods of
enhanced auroral activity on 12 and 13 August.

This is an interesting period of time for sky watchers as the Perseids
meteor shower is also expected to peak on 12 August. If things turn out as
forecasters believe they might, sky watchers may very well be treated to
periods of visible auroral activity combined with occasional Perseid meteor
activity.

Observers in North America (particularly central and northern regions
of
the U.S. states) are encouraged to begin watching for signs of increased
auroral activity during the late evening hours of 11 August and the early
morning hours of 12 August, although the bulk of the auroral activity
probably won't occur until a bit later and on the evening/morning of 12/13
August for North America.

The potential for auroral activity will linger through 13 and perhaps
the early part of 14 August before decaying back to quieter conditions. A
middle latitude auroral activity watch has been issued for middle latitude
dark-sky locations for the UTC days of 12 through 13 August and part of 14
August. A copy of the watch bulletin is included below.

POTENTIAL DURATION OF THIS ACTIVITY: MAIN BELT = 18 TO 24 HOURS
MINOR BELT = 24 TO 48 HOURS

ESTIMATED OPTIMUM OBSERVING CONDITIONS: NEAR LOCAL MIDNIGHT

EXPECTED LUNAR INTERFERENCE: NIL, BECOMING MODERATE AFTER MOONRISE

OVERALL OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVATIONS FROM MIDDLE LATITUDES: FAIR

AURORAL ACTIVITY MAY BE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM...

NORTHERN WASHINGTON STATE TO NORTHERN WYOMING TO SOUTH DAKOTA TO
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TO WISCONSIN TO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN TO NORTHERN
PENNSYLVANIA TO NORTHERN NEW JERSEY.

ACTIVITY MAY ALSO BE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM...

NORTHERN UNITED KINGDOM TO EXTREME NORTHERN DENMARK TO SOUTHERN FINLAND
TO NORTHERN RUSSIA. REGIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ZEALAND MAY SPOT PERIODS OF
ACTIVITY.

SYNOPSIS...

An interesting partial halo coronal mass ejection that may have been
associated with a solar filament channel eruption near 10:30 UTC on 09
August
may intensify levels of auroral activity on 12 and 13 August. Auroral
activity may be further invigorated by the anticipated arrival of a high
velocity solar wind stream emanating from a recurrent solar coronal hole.
The
combined effects could produce periods of moderately strong auroral activity
over high and some dark-sky middle latitude regions on 12 and 13 August,
with
particular emphasis on the UTC day of 12 August. Combined with the Perseids
meteor shower, expected to peak on the UTC day of 12 August (evening of the
11th and morning of the 12th for North American observers), the sky may
hold an interesting variety of activity.

This watch will remain in effect until 19:00 UTC on 14 August when it
will either be allowed to expire or will be updated.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
...........Edmund Burke

Ralph,

I liked that Moon page. This point number 13 reinforces the point that I was making earlier today, that the Moon rotates such that its face is always towards us, and the greater mass is on the other side, to boot! The part with the greater mass should be on this side, where the Earth's gravitation is, not the other side.

The Moon's orbit is nothing less than a calculated orbit that was implemented.

Dharma/Dean

  1. Our moon is the only moon in the solar system that has a stationary, near-perfect circular orbit. Stranger still, the moon's center of mass is about 6000 feet closer to the Earth than its geometric center (which should cause wobbling), but the moon's bulge is on the far side of the moon, away from the Earth. "Something" had to put the moon in orbit with its precise altitude, course, and speed.

" Moo0n Anomalies " is in the center, halfway down.

Mr. Cater’s soft particles physics, the physics of light photons which form particles, explain a variety of metaphysical phenomena, what to speak of phenomena which occurs in the bowels of the Earth:

From Etidorhpa, Chapter 45: HugeDomains.com

I turned, and in the direction indicated, saw, in amazement, floating in the distant space a snow and ice-clad vessel in full sail. She was headed diagonally from us, and was moving rapidly across the field of vision Every spar and sail was clearly defined, and on her deck, and in the rigging I beheld sailors clad in winter garments pursuing their various duties.
As I gazed, enraptured, she disappeared in the distance.

" A phantom vessel," I murmured.

" No," he replied; " the abstraction of a vessel sailing on the ocean above us. Every object on earth is the second to an imprint in another place. There is an apparent reproduction of matter in so-called vacancy, and on unseen pages a recording of all events. As that ship sailed over the ocean above us, she disturbed a current of energy, and it left its impress as an outline on a certain zone beneath, which is parallel with that upon which we now chance to stand."

" I can not comprehend," I muttered.

" No," he answered; " to you it seems miraculous, as to all men an unexplained phenomenon approaches the supernatural. All that is is natural. Have men not been told in sacred writings that their every movement is being recorded in the Book of Life, and do they not often doubt because they can not grasp the problem? May not the greatest scientist be the most apt skeptic?"

" Yes," I replied.

" You have just seen," he said, " the record of an act on earth, and in detail it is being printed elsewhere in the Book of Eternity. If you should return to earth's surface you could not by stating these facts convince even the persons on that same ship, of your sanity. You could not make them believe that hundreds of miles beneath, both their vessel and its crew had been reproduced in fac simile, could you?"

" No."

" Were you to return to earth you could not convince men that you had existed without breath, with a heart dead within you. If you should try to impress on mankind the facts that you have learned in this journey, what would be the result?"

" I would probably be considered mentally deranged; this I have before admitted."

From The Ultimate Life Force, from the chapter on teleportation: http://www.healthresearchbooks.com/Authors/joseph_cater.htm

“ If the conditions mentioned above were the only factors involved in teleportation, the correct spatial relationships of the atoms of the teleported object would be difficult, if not impossible, to maintain. This would usually result in a badly distorted aport. The Logos who created matter no doubt foresaw this difficulty, hence every atom and molecule, and consequently every physical object, has what is (mown as an "etheric double". This etheric double consists of higher frequency matter associated with ethers above those associated with hard electrons and protons. They are permanently attached to their physical counterparts by a process which will be referred to as the Step Down Principle.

The step down process involves the interlocking of high frequency matter with matter associated w;th ethers slightly lower than the higher frequency matter. The difference is not great enough to prevent a bond from existing between the two levels. This lower frequency matter is in turn bonded with still lower frequency matter. This process continues until a bond is made with physical matter. The higher frequency matter is connected with matter of the physical realm by this process. This same principle is involved in spirit communication with higher realms, discussed in more detail later.”

Dean: Etidorhpa/Cater Re. A Phantom vessel?

Dean (from Dick Fojut after reading your latest Etidorhpa/Cater post below)... Can you tell us MORE about Cater's ACTIVITIES over the past 50+ years? Earlier you wrote me that Cater had one degree from USC, graduatring just after WW2, and that he didn't bother going further in the University because he was out of step with the thinking of orthodox University professors.

WHAT did Cater do in his long life after leaving college? Did he work in INDUSTRY? In his own private research lab? Most people have to earn a living whatever their genius. Cater too? Or was he independently wealthy? Or did he go into the business world? I'd be shocked to learn he's been an auto parts salesman, a mailman or a clerk of some sort, just dabbling in scientific theory at night at home. No, I cannot believe that! Surely Cater has been active in the field of science or technology since the 1940s. Surely he has accomplished something in the scientific or technological field over the past 50+ years! Who in science has read his books or papers and spoken favorably about them? Certainly there must be such reviewers. Guys like PRATT? (You apparently think so.) Or Van Flandrin?, etc. Surely you must have favorable reviews or comments by such people that you can provide the list.

  • Dick,

  • I have no idea what he did with his life. I only have his book, and I have called him a few times. The phone calls ( from Brazil ) are usually short and about issues. Something tellsme that he didn't earn a living in his area of expertise, so to say. A person who goes around saying the things that he does is likely to have some doors shut in his face. I just examine the presentation in his book based on their own merit. We wouldn't want to commit the literary fault of ad hominen, would we?

Just WHAT has Cater ACCOMPLISHED out in the world after his short time in college? Please don't suggest I PHONE or WRITE a snail mail letter to Cater asking him such questions. (Incredible Cater hasn't yet joined the modern world with an email connection for his computer! Obviously he never reads Hollow Earth email lists or anything on the internet.)

  • Why are you so critical of the guy? You never stop.

Dean, surely YOU must know such things about Cater, or you wouldn't consider him THE world's greatest scientific authority, as you give the impression. Yes, this is a challenge to you Dean. I'd like to know, I think all members of the list in your "living room" would like to know, from you personally, from your personal knowledge, just what Cater has accomplished in the real world to lend scientific credence to his soft particles/photons THEORIES which you use this list to propagate day after day. - Dick

  • What I do is examine the presentations in his book based on their merit. Actually, I would like to see some more discussion along those lines, but most people just aren't inclined to think. They want some adventure stories of the Arctic, or UFO testimony- Cater's presentation involves studying physics and particles, and most people just skim over that. Understanding what causes gravity, though, would be the scientific achievement of the last 500 years, if not of all time, and I don't see how the thrill of knowing can escape the list members. To understand that, I would pour through any book on any subject, and acquire the background that I had to. ( And I have,more or less. ) Gravity as an electrostatic radiation certainly explains UFO flight characteristics, and removes theoretical obstacles to a hollow earth, i.e., the shell would not have a tendency to collapse, nor would the shell of the planet have to be so thick asto leave only a small cavity. If one can just understand how this concept of gravity ties in to the hollow configuration, then one can always defend the Hollow Earth Theory and believe openly. If not, then one day some science guy is going to come along with his beliefs- that's all they are- and get sneering and hateful.

  • Anyway, I really recommend that the list reader's get some hollow earth books and that they start assimilating understandings. Gardner's book, with all that Arctic evidence. It is a fascinating book and an easy read:

And don't forget Etidorhpa. It's posted, the whole book- go download it!

Dean... Your answers to my questions about Cater clearly indicate you know nothing at all about Cater biographically except what you've read about his soft particle theories in his books. But I agree with you that one can judge a book on its merits, without having to know anything about the author.

But new list member and retired scientist, Juergen Buche, recently reminded me of another valuable book (I haven't opened in ovber 20 years)... "An Earth Dweller's Return" by Phylos the Thibetan ("scribed" in 1940 by an anonymous author), the sequel to Frederick Spencer Oliver's "A Dweller on Two Planets," published in 1894. Because of Juergen, I've recently re-read through much of it, especially the scientific parts dealing with the logical creation of the entire materialuniverse (not a big bang) and the basic composition of matter, light, heat, etc., and GRAVITY. It is an immense cosmological story that (if true) I think, goes beyond the cosmological descriptions of most present day scientists, Churchward and Cater. In parts it is in agreement with some of what I have read in Churchward and that you have posted from Cater. But in other parts it goes far beyond the scientific concepts of both men, and may also disagree. The book can stand on its own merits. A great book. Worth your getting hold of to compare with what you think about Cater's notions. - Dick

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1493000/1493535.stmScanners probe Stone Age mystery
By BBC West of England correspondent Jane O'Brien

Archaeologists are using computer imaging to try to solve one of the biggest mysteries of Stone Age Britain. Silbury Hill in Wiltshire is the biggest man-made neolithic mound in Europe - but nobody knows why it was built. The 130ft foot grassy mound, which was built more than 4,000 years ago, has been seriously threatened by a hole which appeared in its summit in May last year. As repairs get under way English Heritage wants to carry out a seismic study of the hill to create 3D computer images of what lies inside. First they have to shore up an 18th century shaft from a previous excavation that collapsed several months ago. It has already been reinforced with polystyrene, and on Thursday helicopters will transport 36 tonnes of chalk to cap the opening. Once the hill has been made safe, four small vertical holes will be bored into its side so that scientists can increase the detail of the interior scan. The results should be known in October. Archaeologists have tried to uncover the secret of Silbury Hill for more than 200 years. The giant mound would have taken 700 men 10 years to complete, using antler picks and shovels made from the shoulder bones of animals. There have been several theories about the site, which forms part of the ancient landscape surrounding Avebury stone circle and nearby Stonehenge. No evidence has been found of any human burials but many believe it was a sacred monument. Others think it was nothing more than a Stone Age waste tip.

  • Dick,

  • I'll take a look on bibliofind, it sounds interesting. I just ordered that book on the Franklin expedition.

Until Later,
