Yellowstone might go on first stage alert soon.

Since January 17, 2010 Yellowstone has had the second largest swarm ever recorded. The swarms have been steady at about 10 miles in depth and they have subsided a few days ago.

In the past two days the depth has raised up to around 7 miles and in the past couple hours quakes vastly increased.

Remember this doesn’t mean we will see an eruption and it most likely means a normal volcano. It is very unlikely we will see a caldera eruption.
But these changes are significant and cannot be over looked

Some history:
Since the most recent giant caldera-forming eruption, 640,000 years ago, approximately 80 relatively nonexplosive eruptions have occurred. Of these eruptions, at least 27 were rhyolite lava flows in the caldera, 13 were rhyolite lava flows outside the caldera and 40 were basalt vents outside the caldera. Some of the eruptions were approximately the size of the devastating 1991 Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines, and several were much larger. The most recent volcanic eruption at Yellowstone, a lava flow on the Pitchstone Plateau, occurred 70,000 years ago.

What things SOUND like are poor criteria for assigning truth or falsehood.

I used to be one of those that strongly believed the US government was covering up UFO’s. I been to a few UFO conventions with some friends and listened to a lot of stories. Even when I was a strong believer I didn’t buy many of the stories, I knew even then many of them were just trying to sell their products. Other stories even now can not be explained away to easy.

Then I met my now father-in-law. He holds the second most number of flight hours in the US air force he was a test pilot and chase plane pilot for many test flight planes. Many are now very well known others are not. He worked for the CIA in black ops missions as a pilot and flew in and out of airports that officially don’t exist. He served in Korea, Vietnam and missions after. He also holds many medals including the Air Force Cross.

He is conservative level headed man that doesn’t BS. You can tell right off he is a good honest man.

I asked him very simply what do you think about UFO’s or what do you know about UFO’s? He jokes about it saying, yeah there are lots of UFO’s I seen them all the time when flying and when I am on the ground. Then points up and says, “there goes one right now. I can not tell that is flying there my eyes are not that good.”

We both laugh and I ask, “Seriously is it possible beings from another planet could be flying around.” his response was simple, “if there is I haven’t seen it.” Then went on to point out Einstein’s theory stating man can not travel faster then light and if there is someone or something else out there they can’t either.

[Quix]

I assume you can think of at least a few somewhat justifiable reasons that he might respond in those ways.

Many folks of such experiences . . . flight hours, lofty positions etc. have gone literally to their graves without a single word outside of the scripted ones.

Yet, other cohorts of theirs have verified that they knew an enormous amount of data quite contradictory to said scripted party line.

Cheers.

[Steve Van Doorn]

not in his case. I am a very good judge of character.

[Quix]

You seem to equate very good judge of character

with flawlessly so.

I consider it highly likely that your Father in law saw a variety of different UFO craft. I don’t consider it 100% certain.

I consider it likely that regardless of what he saw, a variety of explanations would have been offered.

And/or given his probable age . . . he’d have signed on to hyper-secrecy in an era when such vows were taken very seriously and meant very seriously.

Eyjaf’s fissure is amazing. Check out the first visible picture from the morning of the eruption.

Mountain building for sure!

IMPRESSIVE.

Back to the UFO Symposium in Aztec today.

Stanton Friedman is there.

those are some very nice shots

Steve, on this webicorder from Iceland, you can see what harmonic tremors look like in long succession.

It's the graph on the bottom.

Thanks for this i was looking for it a while ago.

[winoneforthegipper]

definite swarm has started.

Very interesting readings coming out of yellowstone!!!!

definite swarm has started.

I don’t believe the last one ever ended. yes this is looking bad.

And y’all’s predictions about the results

. . .

that they are likely to be what?

[jpsb]

I have not idea on how to read the data, could you help? What do the colors mean?

[Steve Van Doorn]

The colors just make it easier to read they don’t mean anything other than following that time line.

What we are looking for with a volcano are Harmonic tremors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_tremor

When you see Harmonic tremors it means magma is in motion. Another very important thing to follow is the depth of the magma when the harmonic waves start moving closer to the surface it is very likely but not necessarily we will see some kind of venting or fracture.

Something major just happened across the border in Utah!

[winoneforthegipper]

Something big just happened...

[winoneforthegipper]

Scratch that it was the big quake down in Baja!
