Trying to make sense of the elk die-off and some rumor about a 6.5 quake in WYO on 2/7/04 that wasn't reported by USGS. It was reputed to be a "mine explosion." Add that to the possibility of Yellowstone's caldera possibly acting up again. Also discussing the Tesla theory that VLF waves cause "scaler waves" which can soften rock and have been being broadcast by the Russian "Woodpecker" at the US since 1976. More on Tesla: You'll need to CTRL+F to search for terms. It isn't formatted.

I think I've found about all the details is on this Wyoming EQ story now.

This is what I know.
My original post was wrong, the mystery quake was 5.3, not 6.5.
It occurred around Newcastle Wyoming on Feb. 6, 2004 at 19:03 GMT.
The event was recorded by at least 3 seismic monitoring agencies, one in the US (USGS), one in France, and the third one from South Dakota, (not a USGS site apparently).
Jim Berkland of www.syzygy.com has also chimed in saying he believes this was a real event.

The event occurred very far from where the elk deaths are occurring, so there is not likely to be any connection there.

Mitch Battros, of EarthchangesTV, is the person pursuing this story with the most zeal.
He contacted several officials at the USGS. He has an e-mail from one of them that states that this event was not an earthquake, but a mine blast. For that reason, the French agency was told to remove the quake from their records. It was also removed from USGS records.

When Mitch presented this explanation to other USGS officials, their response was that because of the magnitude of 5.3, there was no way this could have been a mine blast, unless it was a nuclear mine blast. So that's how the rumor of nuclear testing got started. It originated from conversations with the USGS.

It appears that something DID happen in the Newcastle area that registered 5.3, and the event was ordered expunged from seismic records by the USGS.

Most of this info came from this thread on the TB2000 board.

There was a suggestion on that thread the event was proof from AQ to our gov't that they did have nukes and could detonate them. Could this tie in to daleel's mentioning Yellowstone so much on his earlier threads?
