In " A New Dawn for Hollow Earther's,"
http://skyboom.com/hollowearthpuranas/index7.html , scope for considering
the inner sun as the source of the aurorae has been presented in the form of
a NASA article. The article now tells us that the Sun is NOT the source of
the particles causing the auroral displays:
" Now, the authors tell us that the source of the aurorae are the ions in
the ionosphere and that " Chappell ... published a paper describing the
polar ion fountain and described the ionosphere as a ' fully adequate source
of material for the magnetosphere. '" In other words, in their model it is
the high strata known as the ionosphere which supplies the ions to agitate
the auroral displays. But that is not to say that an inner sun couldn't be
the ultimate source of the aurora.
This NASA publication is nothing less than a landmark article as it tends to
support some of the concepts that Hollow Earth proponents have been
proposing for a long time. For example, one complaint about the Hollow Earth
Theory's idea of an inner sun has always been that we can't see any evidence
of it, such as inner sun rays. But the aurora can now be presented as
probable evidence of an inner sun."
I reproduce the following from Sadek Adam's book Hollow Earth Authentic,
this part on the aurorae. A couple of you might have seen this on that old
HED list:
AURORA
Auroras are brilliant luminous displays of light which occur mainly at very
high altitudes.The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights are more frequent and
well defined than the Aurora Australia or Southern Lights.
Science says the aurora is related to the 11 year sunspot cycle. When
disturbances of the sun throw off many more particles than can normally be
shielded by the magnetosphere, some of them reach the earth's atmosphere
near the magnetic poles and cause a glow. Also dense cores of ionization
along geomagnetic lines of force.
The hollow Earth view is that the aurora is simply sunlight from the central
sun shining through the polar openings. We have much evidence for this,
again quoting our friends GARDNER and REID who reported from observations of
the great 19th century explorers.
Gardner ( book 1 ) A Journey to the Earth's Interior
Greely saw a perfectly circular aurora which he called a mock sun burning
colours of blue, yellow and red with bars of white. Also: " crown of light,
brilliant streamers, brilliant arch, clearly defined patches of light detach
themselves as puffs of smoke from a pipe: fine aurora like a pillar of
glowing fire." ( Book 1e )
Nansen: " A wreath of streamers upwards towards a corona, which shone like a
halo: a dark patch in its middle. where all the rays converged: fresh
streamers shot out outside the inner halo, other shafts of light in a still
wider circle."
Lt. Weyprech: " Aurora, an arch of light, the upper limit of a segment of a
circle." Parry :
" no magnetic disturbance when aurora was seen." Payer: " impossible to tell
whether rays shoot from above downward or from below upward."
Dick: Comments on Greely's men: " aurora coloured through breaking up
sunlight as in a rainbow. No noise ( crackling ), no magnetic and electrical
dsturbance."
Kane: " Aurora is brightest when white, i.e., the light is not split up due
to a damp atmosphere. This indicates light from an interior sun."
Nordenskiold, New York Herald: " Faintly luminous arc, motionless, like a
ring of light surrounding the northern portion of the globe."
Scientific American Supplement, February 17, 1883, from La Luminiere
Electrique: " Descartes, Ellis, Frobisher. Franklin, Raspail and Wolfert:
All these scholars have stated that they think the aurora comes from
sunlight."
Gardner quotes Taylor Reed [ from ] Popular Astronomy, 1895: " Both the
aurorae and the ( solar system ) sun's corona have the same spectroscopic
analysis, a faint, continuous spectrum.
REED ( Book 2 ) Phantom of the Poles
" Reed notes the phenomenon ot " water sky ". Around the lip of the polar
opening the sky acts as a mirror, and whalers and explorers depend on the
reflection of the surface in the sky to determine what lies ahead.
Similarly, the reflection of light from an inner source could form an
aurora. "
Bernacchi: " The light first emanated in a waving curtain ...arrow-like
beams ... like some great searchlight. "
Nansen: Gives a very good description of the appearance of the inner sun as
he traversed the lip of the polar opening. He says he observed the sun, days
earlier than expected and in the opposite direction. He afterwards said it
was a mock sun or mirage
Nansen gives an excellent description of what we now know to be the Earths
�nner sun ( and what Reed thought was an inner volcano ). Nansen is one of
the few explorers to have actually gone so far around the lip of the opening
so as to see the inner sun. He was sailing, as it is mostly iquid water in
the vicinity of the opening.
Among other observattions, far too numerous to mention, are the following:
Nansen: Spectral light like the reflection of a fire far away.
Hall: Streamers gathered round the zenith and formed a perfect corona. Beams
of luminous clouds ... formed an arch ... moved very slowly.
Reed quotes H.S. Gardiner, one of Greely's assistants: Display's of unusual
grandeur unparalleled brilliancy, its light equal to the full moon.
Prismatic colours ...approached near to the Earth. Several of Greely's other
assistants are also quoted.
Much more detail will be found in Gardner and Reed, who each devote a
chapter
EXAMINING the nature of the AURORA at once negates the " charged particles
from the sun " idea and also establishes the existence of the central sun,
the SMOKY GOD [ see VNN article A New Dawn for Hollow Earthers ]
It was very satisfying therefore to find something substantial in Colliers
Encyclopedia in support of our claims about the aurora. We are grateful to
Colliers for the statement that the aurora creates a visual halo. This halo
can be admired in its entirety only by space travellers, and it occurs on
the rim of each hole of the magnetic doughnut ( 1995 8:476 ) Thank you
Colliers. They also say (1995 3:232 ) the aurora is the subject of intense
study, and its exact nature and origin is unknown. Danke Schon.
Extending the auroral theme to Earth's two neighbours, we again come across
orthodox science reaching a stalemate. If you viewed Earth's polar regions
from Mars or Venus and knew nothing about hollow worlds with central suns
and polar openings, you would think the bright white polar areas were snow
and ice cover. Or charged particle from the Sun.. Science says the aurora
has not been definitely observed for other planets ( Colliers Enc. '95
3:232 ). So, when astronomers here on earth look at the polar regions of
Mars and see a bright white polar patch, they're satisfied, because Mars is
cold and most definitely has frozen poles. But when they look at Venus and
see the same bright polar patch, perhaps even larger, they are baffled
everyone knows Venus is far too hot for polar ice.
So, we say all three planets are hollow with a central sun whose rays
sometimes " leak out " through polar openings, giving rise to a display of
light called the AURORA.
The encyclopedias say the following about Mars and Venus:
MARS- Aerial views of the north and south polar areas similar to Earth's
near circular zones of solid white ice. A view of the whole planet shows
circular, white polar caps, which get smaller in the summer ... may contain
frozen water. ( World Book Encyclopedia, 1996, 13:222 ). " A cap appears to
evaporate."
" Evaporate " is a strange word to use in connection with frozen water!
The encyclopedia also says the evaporating polar caps may provide some of
the water present in the atmosphere.
The global view of Mars shown above [ Note: Pictures of Mars from the
Mariner probes 6 and 7 are shown which didn't come out in the scanner]
appears in several publication. The bright polar light is always very
pronounced and appears to extend beyond the planet's surface. [ Note: In
other words, a Martian aurora ]
Venus: No mention is made of polar caps -- these were only mentioned by 19th
Century astronomers
( see below ) but there are three interesting pointers to a polar opening:
( i ) A crescent-shaped collar of cloud surrounds the north pole of Venus at
about 70* North ( Atlas of the Solar System, Patrick Moore and Gary Hunt,
Royal Astronomical Society/Mitchell Beazly
(ii) "Polar Vortices " occur -- a constituent feature of the complex, dense
atmospheric system ( Atlas of the Solar System Bill Yenne, Bison Books
1987 )
(iii) A diagram of Venus shows a strange circular depression, like a round
polar openIng, but the text says it is low level surface ( Times Atlas of
the World, 1990 ), also in the above two atlases.
The above orthodox views on Mars and Venus are not in any way conclusive as
to the existence of polar openings, as the 20th century scientific world is
too rigid to result in that discovery. But just look at these observations
by 19th Century astronomers ( some famous names, too) , taken from GARDNER
VENUS: F W Henkel The English Mechanic and World of Science
" Dark portions of the planet's disc occasionally [ have been ] seen faintly
illuminated, recalling the aurora on earth. Henkel quotes Professor Young --
polar snows seem to be present."
