- Well Mike, from what I've been able to find out from other sources
- is that this object seems to have the ability to change course and
- speed. Which means it could be under intelligent control. Or simply
- a Unidentified Flying object. From what I'd heard is that there is
- more to SS433 then what the public is being told. If you would like,
- I will discontinue my discussion on this object in your echo if so
- desired. 73's ---Jim---

-
- You're right, ABC presented zippo information.
- About the red lights. They've been see in the area for quite a
- while. An old fisherman said "decades."
- The lights have been seen to move fast, hold still, and slowly move
- to windward. Rules out balloons, and too fast for a blimp. No other
- lights, such as running lights, and no sound.
- I apparently saw one in the early '80's, about 200 miles east of
- Pensacola. I recall thinking it was rather strange at the time, but
- many of the descriptions from Pensacola fit what I saw.
- Dim red light, no other lights, moving slowly southward up high,
- then moving faster until out of sight. No sound. At the time I'd been
- very used to seeing mil. jets and Customs/CG choppers at night, and it
- didn't appear to match any of those.
- Other lights at Pensacola. A few people have reported seeing
- fast-moving luminous blue-white globes, sometimes apparently fairly
- low.

-
-
- I have a firsthand report from a retired USMC Colonel (engineer) who
- saw a "fireball" from the North Carolina Outer Banks in the mid-'50's.
- The fireball was seen from NC up to Maine, and apparently was
- reported in many newspapers.
- He said that what he saw was a brilliant white light that moved from
- horizon to horizon in about ten seconds in apparently level flight,
- and was so bright that a distinct shadow was cast by a lit Coleman
- lantern. He said it didn't leave any trail or have a tail, and that he
- didn't believe it was a meteor.
- The witness is definitely a qualified observer.
- Sounds very similar to the recent "meteor" report.

-
-
- To Michael Corbin,
-
- You posted several articles about solar flare activity in the last
- newsletter. I have several questions about flares and I was
- wondering if you could answer them. First, I guess I would ask
- why you think it was important enough to post. I'm not being
- critical, just asking. I also read these postings on the NET
- and found it hard to get anything out of them since I didn't
- have any experience following the reports. Could you address
- the following?
-
- How often do flares occur? And is frequency related to the
- eleven year cycle of the sun?
-
- What do the class ratings mean? Class M or X?
-
- The most recent reports seemed to have many words like 'very,'
- 'exceptional,' and "major." What was unusual about that alert?
-
- What is a typical intensity of a flare and what is exceptional?
-
- What is UT (Universal Time?) with respect to EST?
-
- One alert had statements like:
- 'Type II sweep frequency event...' "No sweeps were recorded..."
- What do these statements mean?
-
- What is a coronal mass ejection, and what are its implications?
- It sounds exciting.
-
- What is shock speed?
-
- 'S23E90 (or slightly beyond the east limb)' What is the map of sun?
-
- What is a flare that is 'optically uncorrelated'?
-
- What is a s.f.u. ?
-
- What of proton events? I work with solar cells and know that they often
- suffer their worst radiation damage from protons and especially from
- solar flares. Are there other implications besides solid state
- radiation damage?
-
- Is the following unusual?
- + PLEASE NOTE!! If the region(s) responsible for this major flaring
- + continues to produce major flares over the coming week, potentially high
- + terrestrial impacts could occur. Persons, organizations, and/or researchers
- + who might be affected by the major flaring should take note of this and pay
- + close attention for future major flare alerts and possible terrestrial
- + impacts (ie. magnetic storming) later this week. It is possible that this
- + region could quite literally blow itself out before it begins to enter the
- + area capable of producing terrestrial impacts. More will be known in the
- + next 24 to 48 hours as the region(s) present themselves for closer
- + examination.
-
- I know this is an awful lot so if you have a reference I can find,
- that would suffice. Thanks.
-
- Greg

- From: chalmers@violet.berkeley.edu (John H. Chalmers Jr.)
-
- Robert Forward, a physicist specializing
- in gravitational theory and 'hard SF' writer (Dragon's Egg and
- sequel), has described an antigravity device consisting of a
- toroidal coil with an ID of about 100 meters. If the mass
- of a neutron star were to flow through the windings of the
- coil every millisecond, the magnetic analog of the gravitational
- field ('protational' or gravitational magnetic field) would neutralize
- gravity in the center of the coil. The reason for the enormous
- masses and velocities required is the low value of the
- gravitational coupling constant (about 40 orders of magnitude
- less than the strong nuclear or EM) and the low permeability
- of space to the field.
- Physicists at Stanford and elsewhere are planning experiments
- on a satellite in the next decade to test for the existence of
- the protational field (as I remember by the precession of orthogonal
- gyroscopes).
- Given what is known about electrodynamics and the
- above, I'm rather skeptical about low power toroidal magnetic
- fields' causing warps in space-time. However, a working model
- would go a long way toward convincing me. ---- John

- It seems to me that the Kirimukuyu incident could be explained

- choppers. Africa has had its share of this sort of thing. Did
- I miss something?
- As to the disappearance of the British regiment, I would like to offer one
- possible explanation ... Their commander tried to take advantage
- of the fog bank to try and go around behind his objective. They got
- lost, got behind enemy lines, and were wiped out. The British suffered
- immense casualties in that campaign, and not every single man killed
- could be accounted for. Does that hold water?

- I am not too sure that we can dismiss balloons yet. I recall that there was
- something done with balloons there about a year ago as a joke. From what I
- could see, the red light was not strange, but appeared to be simply a red
- light not displaying any type of maneuvers which could be considered out of
- the ordinary.

-
- A big story this past week was a brilliant fireball that grazed the
- Earth's atmosphere early on Wednesday March 6th. Witnesses from West
- Virginia to Maine saw the dazzling, multi-coloured object at about
- 02:55 EST. One said it resembled a giant scud missile. An airline
- pilot near Philadelphia called it the mother of all meteors, well
- whatever. Reliable sightings note that the blazing fireball took up
- to 30 seconds to fly across the sky. That makes this an unusually low
- velocity object, in many ways similar to a blazing daylight fireball
- that appeared over the Rockies in 1972. No one has yet found any
- meteorites delivered by Wednesday's passage, and perhaps no one ever
- will. According to Walt Webb, of Boston's Museum of Science, the
- witnesses he has spoken to all say the meteor was visible to the east
- or south thus chances are that any falling pieces dropped in the
- Atlantic ocean. Conceivably, the object simply slipped in and out of
- the atmosphere before moving on into interplanetary space.
- The Moon is now gone from the early evening sky, so you might want
- to track down comet Levy, 1990c, before it gets to faint to observe.
- For what it is worth, this week the comet will drag itself back north
- of the celestial equator for the first time since last August. Here
- are its positions for zero hours UT and equinox 2000 co-ordinates: On
- Mar. 10th, R.A. 8:54, Dec. -2.6; on the 13th, 8:48, Dec. -0.7; on the
- 16th, R.A. 8:42, Dec. 1.1.
- Two planets are hugging the horizons these days. Mercury is on its
- way to a nice apparition, later this month and right now, you can find
- it due west after sunset to the lower right of Venus. Saturn is
- emerging from dawn's glare in the east and on Mar. 12th, it will be
- very close to a thin crescent Moon. French astronomers, who have
- looked at Saturn since its recent conjunction, report that two large
- ovals are visible along the planets equator.
- On the evening of the 16th, you will have a chance to spot a very
- young Moon. Look for it 15 to 30 minutes after sunset to the lower
- right of Venus and Mercury. The Moon will be only 15 hours old, as
- seen from the east coast, and 18 hours from the west.
- Finally, NASA is inviting the public to help pick names for some
- 4000 new craters and volcanos on Venus that are being discovered by
- the Magellan orbiter. By established convention, the planet's
- landforms commemorate notable women, but not political or military
- figures, who have been dead for at least three years. Send your
- submissions to: Venus Names, Magellan Project, Jet Propulsion
- Laboratory, Pasadena, California, 91109. Include dates of birth and
- death, and a short rational for your choice.
- That is it for this week.

- POTENTIAL GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING
- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
- Issued: 19:00 UT, 09 March
- Geomagnetic Storm Warning
- -------------
- ATTENTION:
- Minor geomagnetic storming has begun over the high latitude regions
- recently. This activity has spread a bit further south than was
- originally anticipated. Middle latitude geomagnetic activity became
- active to very active between 14:00 UT and 18:00 UT. Activity at the
- present time (18:30 UT) has calmed down somewhat, although periods of
- active to very active conditions over middle latitudes are expected to
- continue for the next 24 to 48 hours.
- There is a risk of brief periods of middle latitude MINOR
- geomagnetic storming. No major storming will occur. Most of the
- activity should be below minor storm levels. Magnetic K-indices of
- 4 and 5 are expected over the middle latitudes. Middle latitude
- magnetic A-indices could reach 32.
- High latitudes will experience low to moderate intensity minor
- storming over the next 24 to 48 hours. K-indices of 5 will be dominant.
- Isolated brief major storming may occur over some locations with estimated
- K-indices between 5 and 7. High latitude A-indices could exceed 40.
- Auroral activity will be most intense over the high latitude auroral
- zone. Some southward migration of the auroral oval is possible over the
- next 24 to 48 hours. High latitudes will experience mostly moderate
- auroral activity with some possible bursts of high activity during
- substorm periods. Northerly middle latitudes will witness low to
- moderate auroral activity. Central middle latitudes could witness low
- activity while southerly middle latitudes and low latitudes will not
- experience any auroral activity. This could change, however, if major
- flaring continues.
- The lower latitude limit for observing auroral activity in the U.S.
- will range between approximately 42 N for the eastern U.S. to 44 N for
- the western U.S. during the evening hours. No significant auroral
- storming is expected, although localized active periods could materialize.
- Polar and auroral radio paths will experience increased fading and
- absorption due to the increased geomagnetic and auroral activity which
- has occurred recently. Auroral flutter will dominate polar and high
- latitudes, particularly during the local evening hours. High and
- northerly middle latitude VHF auroral backscatter communications may
- become possible during the late afternoon hours and again near local
- midnight.
- A geomagnetic storm alert will be posted if middle latitude magnetic
- activity surpasses storm level thresholds.
