Yes , of course , Rue...You ARE 'curious' .

What a capacity for overstating the obvious .

Thank you for your expert opinion .

With your 'logic' , brains are rendered completely obsolete...

Heh , heh...

But , for the benefit of curious Folk , here's a little tidbit :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_ducting




As a geophysicist who's specialized in wave propagation, mostly in the solid earth but also with some studies carried out in the atmosphere, I must ask:

1. Could you expand on *exactly* how Doppler radar works? My 17-18 year old students can do this, so it shouldn't be too hard for an educated grown-up. Right? Please, give it a try... And don't cut and paste from wiki. I know how to check for that.

2. Explain how local weather patterns will never disrupt mapped patterns detected by radar scans. ie even with varied weather patterns moving across a continent, any "doppler radar" map will be perfectly symmetrical.

Oh, and I did a research project marginally related to the second question: the trajectory of sound waves in the atmosphere due to temperature and wind speed variation with altitude. I know how that works. So you'd best not respond like an idiot with no actual familiarity with wave propagation physics.

I just might end up ripping you a new one, son.

hmm-burble-blah, blah-blah-blah, take a left


I guess you'd be the guy to ask about this theory

" Could the circle not be the result of sunspots

with the ozone layer being thinner towards the poles giving it a greater than normal effect, and the pic we are looking at being a composite picture of several Doppler radars, perhaps with the involved area being at the edge of signal range

perhaps the computer systems which blends the data together into one image tags an area of interference in such a manner "

or am I completely out there too ?

Oops. How'd that get in there?

Two problems with those first two pix.

1) They're fake, and they're from your own site.

2) According to the file tags, they're not HAARP sites at all, but MK-ULTRA towers.


Nice fail.


By the way, no problems with the third pic.

Well, not the *guy* to ask precisely... :)

Earth's magnetic fields do trap particles from the solar wind, but the ions escape into the polar regions. That makes a kind of circular pattern when viewed from space, but it's centered on the poles, not some random spot in Western Australia. And it's not super symmetric. Here's an example on Jupiter - pretty! But nothing at all like this alleged event in Australia.

I think that the compositing (is that a word?) of images is behind this, but not the usual work done with radar images. This is a fake, is my bet. It's another plea from PN that we click on his loony links so he can earn his pennies.

Of course, I could be wrong. O2B, you seem to have another idea. That was an interesting article about EMPs you posted. Is that what you're saying caused this alleged ring of clouds? Please expand... A nuke was set off at high altitude and that did what exactly? Do tell. Amaze me.

Was cool for a while. Until I saw all the politics behind funding research. Lord, what a mess!

BTW Kwicko - excellent cartoon a ways up the thread. I find myself in exactly that position while grading tests LOL! "And then a miracle happened, and the resulting solution is..."

I have to post that in my classroom.

Mal4: The beauty of the internet - I remembered that cartoon from an issue of "Omni" magazine back in the 80s, and Google did the rest! Gotta love it.

What cartoon? What cartoon? I can always use a good laugh, but I scrolled up, then back down again, and can't find it!

The first two photo's of PN's last three pictures are taken from the TV show Flashforward if I'm not mistaken. Maybe the government does have something like this, but these are not it. just sayin'.

The last picture is from Dollhouse. :)
