1 00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:09,380 [Music] 2 00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:12,380 we're going to talk about some possible 3 00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:15,400 atmospheric color changes that happens 4 00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:18,670 prior to large magnitude and also some 5 00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:22,689 local earthquakes we have at the 6 00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:25,990 observatory in Sedona a camera that an 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:27,310 all-night camera that takes pictures 8 00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:30,610 once every other month every minute oh 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:33,550 that's better once every minute all 10 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:36,970 night long and we have observed some 11 00:00:42,330 --> 00:00:40,360 chromatic shifts before large magnitude 12 00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,340 and local earthquakes we've also 13 00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:44,800 observed what could be infrared flashes 14 00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:49,140 and some suggestion of ultraviolet 15 00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:53,320 flashes and some GPS disturbances the 16 00:00:58,860 --> 00:00:56,080 photograph suggests that anomalies can 17 00:01:02,660 --> 00:00:58,870 be detected over great distances very 18 00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:02,670 surprising and we are questioning both 19 00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:05,560 ultraviolet and infrared transmission 20 00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:09,720 how might they might across great ranges 21 00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:12,220 we're looking at possible mechanisms 22 00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:14,590 which is are very very speculative at 23 00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:16,120 this time we're looking at air 24 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:18,670 refractive index ionospheric changes and 25 00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:22,110 total electron content we'll end up 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:25,180 looking at a possible simple inexpensive 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:28,450 inexpensive way to detect the timing but 28 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:32,170 not the location of large earthquakes it 29 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:35,650 started a long time ago since the 1980s 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:40,000 I have been residing in the Bay Area and 31 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:44,290 noticing that prior to the California 32 00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:45,970 earthquakes which are almost constantly 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:48,580 ongoing that you would see atmospheric 34 00:01:53,039 --> 00:01:50,170 color changes I don't know how well you 35 00:01:54,899 --> 00:01:53,049 can see them in the slide here but the 36 00:01:57,390 --> 00:01:54,909 sky would take on kind of a reddish 37 00:01:59,460 --> 00:01:57,400 ruddy hue before the earthquakes and I 38 00:02:01,620 --> 00:01:59,470 have probably taken a couple hundred 39 00:02:05,219 --> 00:02:01,630 photographs of this phenomena this is a 40 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:05,229 normal sky color and smog is usually 41 00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:07,330 white to yellow so there was something 42 00:02:15,449 --> 00:02:09,750 peculiar about the color changes here 43 00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:15,459 fast forward into the future here 44 00:02:21,930 --> 00:02:18,340 other people have reported optical and 45 00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:21,940 anomalies prior to earthquakes but they 46 00:02:26,820 --> 00:02:24,550 haven't been well-documented so here are 47 00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:26,830 just a couple this is before the 48 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:29,830 Szechuan earthquake in China you can see 49 00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:32,980 this as a video on YouTube there was a 50 00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:36,310 fire rainbow that was taken by two 51 00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:39,580 separate individuals 30 minutes prior to 52 00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:44,830 the Szechuan earthquake and here a Kia 53 00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:47,860 Aquila Italy these photographs were 54 00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:50,680 taken about 10:30 at night so this is 55 00:02:56,490 --> 00:02:53,350 not a sunset you'll see the purple color 56 00:02:58,950 --> 00:02:56,500 and this sort of rose color and you'll 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:02:58,960 see a lot more of that in my slides that 58 00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:06,600 now this is a reason you can't try this 59 00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:08,830 at home or at least not very well that 60 00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:10,990 humans are basically color blind at 61 00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:14,680 night and so our our rods work but our 62 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:17,220 cones that perceive color can't work 63 00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:21,280 this is a picture of a sky glow that was 64 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:24,420 very very bright that occurred in Sedona 65 00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:27,970 just prior nine and ten hours to two 66 00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:31,860 large magnitude earthquakes and this 67 00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:36,160 photograph has been changed so that you 68 00:03:40,830 --> 00:03:38,680 can actually see what we saw with their 69 00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:40,840 eyes which was a basically a black and 70 00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:43,600 white sky glow this it was looked like a 71 00:03:47,699 --> 00:03:45,940 big lens overhead it looked like there 72 00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:47,709 was a full moon it was as bright as a 73 00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:49,540 full moon looking through the clouds 74 00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:51,790 except there was no full moon it was 75 00:03:56,699 --> 00:03:54,700 very close to the new moon and the new 76 00:04:00,690 --> 00:03:56,709 moon was just about setting in the 77 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:00,700 opposite direction this is what the 78 00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:03,970 camera sees the camera can see far more 79 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:06,910 colors at night than humans can with our 80 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:12,910 eyes okay basic primer and the colors 81 00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:15,850 that are normal and natural for the 82 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:19,060 camera to see during quiet seismic 83 00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:23,440 periods the color depends really on the 84 00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:26,680 moon if the moon is is up and there are 85 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:28,990 a few clouds you'll see this basically 86 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:32,770 gray sky and gray to blue and if the 87 00:04:37,019 --> 00:04:33,969 moon has set you'll see 88 00:04:39,179 --> 00:04:37,029 sort of a ruddy hue and things are 89 00:04:44,459 --> 00:04:39,189 fairly dark the sky is black you can see 90 00:04:47,489 --> 00:04:44,469 stars quite vividly the progression of 91 00:04:50,369 --> 00:04:47,499 the moon you can see here is Twilight up 92 00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:50,379 here and you'll see the gray sky and 93 00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:52,269 then as the moon sets you'll see a very 94 00:04:59,539 --> 00:04:55,389 consistent colors fading into this 95 00:05:02,399 --> 00:04:59,549 basically red and that was during a 96 00:05:04,829 --> 00:05:02,409 seismically quiet period where there had 97 00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:04,839 been no magnitude six earthquakes for 98 00:05:09,719 --> 00:05:07,149 more than a week during the full moon 99 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:09,729 you'll see a pale blue sky with the 100 00:05:16,499 --> 00:05:13,769 clouds the clouds are basically white 101 00:05:20,309 --> 00:05:16,509 this is what we see prior to large 102 00:05:23,789 --> 00:05:20,319 earthquakes or local earthquakes this is 103 00:05:27,989 --> 00:05:23,799 normal but we will see glowing storm 104 00:05:31,799 --> 00:05:27,999 clouds we will see rose colors purple 105 00:05:33,929 --> 00:05:31,809 colors and aqua ultramarine colors and 106 00:05:36,899 --> 00:05:33,939 these color shifts happen they're very 107 00:05:40,489 --> 00:05:36,909 intense and they're very rapid they take 108 00:05:43,799 --> 00:05:40,499 place often within less than a minute 109 00:05:45,989 --> 00:05:43,809 this is an example of a chromatic shift 110 00:05:48,119 --> 00:05:45,999 you can see a Depot ultramarine which is 111 00:05:50,459 --> 00:05:48,129 not a normal color and then you'll see 112 00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:50,469 it going to a purple hue I hope you can 113 00:05:55,679 --> 00:05:53,110 see it with this projector and then here 114 00:06:00,199 --> 00:05:55,689 it's fading back to the ultramarine very 115 00:06:04,019 --> 00:06:02,519 all of the photographs that I'm going to 116 00:06:06,659 --> 00:06:04,029 show you happen in the middle of the 117 00:06:09,479 --> 00:06:06,669 night that these are not dawn or sunset 118 00:06:12,749 --> 00:06:09,489 pictures prior to large magnitude 119 00:06:14,789 --> 00:06:12,759 earthquakes we see about seven to eight 120 00:06:17,339 --> 00:06:14,799 days we begin to see these chromatic 121 00:06:20,459 --> 00:06:17,349 shifts and they tend to maximize about 122 00:06:22,529 --> 00:06:20,469 three to four days in advance and the 123 00:06:26,729 --> 00:06:22,539 day of the earthquake oftentimes we will 124 00:06:29,159 --> 00:06:26,739 see the situation change back to normal 125 00:06:31,619 --> 00:06:29,169 although sometimes we do continue to see 126 00:06:34,169 --> 00:06:31,629 shifts we're going to look at six 127 00:06:36,719 --> 00:06:34,179 earthquakes the three largest 128 00:06:39,419 --> 00:06:36,729 earthquakes that have happened during 129 00:06:42,769 --> 00:06:39,429 the time that these cameras have been in 130 00:06:45,149 --> 00:06:42,779 operation we'll look at the largest and 131 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:45,159 closest earthquake which was Mexicali 132 00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:46,770 7.2 133 00:06:52,969 --> 00:06:50,340 and to really anomalous earthquakes that 134 00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:52,979 occurred just 12 miles from where we are 135 00:06:57,649 --> 00:06:56,159 in Sedona and this is significant 136 00:07:01,040 --> 00:06:57,659 because earthquakes basically don't 137 00:07:02,719 --> 00:07:01,050 happen in Arizona and there is no 138 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:02,729 historical record of earthquakes 139 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:06,960 happening in this exact area before okay 140 00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:09,090 I'm going to cut to the chase here 141 00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:12,900 and show you very rapidly the chromatic 142 00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:16,500 shifts that that precede earthquakes and 143 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:18,270 not dwell on them but what I would like 144 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:21,360 you to observe is the variability in the 145 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:23,520 colors and you've seen the controls and 146 00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:29,039 look at how the colors change starting 147 00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:31,169 seven to eight days maximizing about 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:33,990 four days prior to earthquakes well go 149 00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:36,690 into the time machine now and we will go 150 00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:41,340 and look step backwards from eight days 151 00:07:46,249 --> 00:07:44,879 out to the time of the earthquakes first 152 00:07:49,899 --> 00:07:46,259 earthquake is an eight point one at 153 00:07:53,689 --> 00:07:49,909 Samoa this earthquake occurred about 154 00:07:58,209 --> 00:07:53,699 4,500 miles away from the Sedona 155 00:08:01,070 --> 00:07:58,219 Observatory here you'll see the normal 156 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:01,080 moon set colors but then all of a sudden 157 00:08:05,659 --> 00:08:03,210 you'll see color shifts to gray and then 158 00:08:07,339 --> 00:08:05,669 back to to the ready color and so on and 159 00:08:10,730 --> 00:08:07,349 so forth and you see this continues 160 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:10,740 through day seven and then at four days 161 00:08:16,459 --> 00:08:13,490 you'll see some new colors come in this 162 00:08:19,459 --> 00:08:16,469 sort of an aqua color and maybe a little 163 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:19,469 bit pink and you can see the variety of 164 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:21,330 colors that are occurring here's an 165 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,370 example of a chromatic shift that has 166 00:08:27,950 --> 00:08:25,199 happened in just one minute from an 167 00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:27,960 ultramarine - back to a normal gray so 168 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:31,710 this is an enlargement also quite 169 00:08:36,079 --> 00:08:33,690 significant I was hiking during just 170 00:08:38,029 --> 00:08:36,089 before the two days before this 171 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:38,039 earthquake and I could not receive 172 00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:43,770 satellites on my GPS receiver okay a 173 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:45,570 little bit more than a day you see the 174 00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:47,610 colors changed but you will see these 175 00:08:53,540 --> 00:08:49,740 shifts continuing there's a bright moon 176 00:08:57,380 --> 00:08:53,550 up now and after the moon sets you'll 177 00:09:00,440 --> 00:08:57,390 see the shifts between gray and rust 178 00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:00,450 color at 10 hours away you'll you 179 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:03,750 see continuous shifting the next 180 00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:05,730 earthquake was magnitude eight point 181 00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:08,340 eight at Chile and again this was more 182 00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:11,820 than 4,500 miles away and you'll see 183 00:09:17,210 --> 00:09:14,940 some new colors which are a kind of a 184 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:17,220 rose color and then feeding back to gray 185 00:09:22,370 --> 00:09:20,730 this is with the the moon is up and then 186 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:22,380 you'll see some clouds come in that 187 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,770 start glowing yellow a storm came in and 188 00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:28,320 the clouds became very very luminous and 189 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:31,790 you can see all of the variety of 190 00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:36,210 intensely glowing colors at that point 191 00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:38,190 in time the camera broke down I had a 192 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:40,560 second camera fortunately in operation 193 00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:41,970 facing in a slightly different direction 194 00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:44,580 and you can see that another cam and 195 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:46,110 this is not a camera artifact 196 00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:48,360 that this second camera also picked up 197 00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:50,340 all of the color shifts even though it 198 00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:51,750 was in a different direction different 199 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:55,590 camera for days I saw a color that I had 200 00:09:59,270 --> 00:09:57,450 never seen before before the Chile 201 00:10:02,180 --> 00:09:59,280 earthquake which was this very intense 202 00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:02,190 pinky purple color and this lasted for a 203 00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:05,100 long time usually we just see colors 204 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:09,720 lasting for a few minutes and here's an 205 00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:13,410 example you know the pinky purple color 206 00:10:18,190 --> 00:10:15,480 and you notice that the rocks here in 207 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:18,200 the foreground seem almost iridescent 208 00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:21,450 and then two hours later you can see 209 00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:24,230 that things have changed back to normal 210 00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:27,030 - two days the moon is up and bright 211 00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:28,710 there's some clouds but you can see that 212 00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:33,870 the colors continue to shift also two 213 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:36,560 days though there's a rose color that 214 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:40,560 begins one day you can see the cut the 215 00:10:45,950 --> 00:10:43,440 color continued to shift and then things 216 00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:45,960 kind of stabilized out even though this 217 00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:48,360 color is not really a normal color the 218 00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:50,040 normal color is gray but the 219 00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:52,230 fluctuations have basically stopped and 220 00:10:57,260 --> 00:10:54,660 at the exact time of the earthquake it's 221 00:11:04,460 --> 00:10:57,270 a full moon it's overcast and there are 222 00:11:07,730 --> 00:11:04,470 no chromatic shifts occurring then one 223 00:11:11,390 --> 00:11:07,740 difficulty is that we can't really see 224 00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:11,400 this with our eyes because our 225 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:14,430 receptions even in good lighting 226 00:11:19,340 --> 00:11:16,800 conditions aren't very good in the 227 00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:19,350 ultraviolet and ultra red or infrared 228 00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:23,279 but this color here had a kind of a 229 00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:26,520 reminiscent ring to it to me and so did 230 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:30,300 this because I had done some previous 231 00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,690 tests of the cameras and I'd found that 232 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:36,000 the cameras can see a little bit more 233 00:11:40,579 --> 00:11:38,850 beyond the optical spectrum they see a 234 00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:40,589 little bit more into the ultraviolet and 235 00:11:45,019 --> 00:11:43,680 a little bit more into the infrared so 236 00:11:47,420 --> 00:11:45,029 the tests that I have done with some 237 00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:47,430 transmission filters this is what the 238 00:11:54,139 --> 00:11:50,310 same scene looks like in the ultraviolet 239 00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:54,149 and in the infrared and these seem to 240 00:12:02,500 --> 00:11:57,660 match somehow at least in a suggestible 241 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:02,510 sense that perhaps we had some 242 00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:06,570 ultraviolet and infrared components to 243 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:10,680 the lights that we were seeing here is 244 00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:14,130 an infrared flashlight and again by 245 00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:16,470 comparison so being a nonprofit 246 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:18,420 organization in order to test the 247 00:12:25,449 --> 00:12:20,850 hypothesis if there was infrared 248 00:12:28,579 --> 00:12:25,459 involved in some of these color shifts 249 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:28,589 we chose a very quick and dirty cheap 250 00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:31,440 way of detecting infrared which is a 251 00:12:41,150 --> 00:12:39,390 motion sensor floodlight and what I did 252 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:41,160 was to set the flood light up in the 253 00:12:45,530 --> 00:12:42,720 same direct and the camera was facing 254 00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:45,540 and whenever it detected an infrared 255 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:47,700 signal it would illuminate the bushes in 256 00:12:54,590 --> 00:12:51,120 the foreground and so this was our cheap 257 00:12:59,210 --> 00:12:54,600 test to see if we could detect the 258 00:13:01,160 --> 00:12:59,220 infrared so moving right along here to 259 00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:01,170 the Japan earthquake there's good news 260 00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:02,430 and bad news 261 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:05,700 the bad news is that I had been 262 00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:08,130 traveling and I only got back to the 263 00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:10,950 observatory the day before the Japan 264 00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:12,750 earthquake so I miss collecting all of 265 00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:15,839 the data that would have been you know 266 00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:18,870 classic data unfortunately prior to this 267 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:21,480 earthquake the good news is I actually 268 00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:23,850 had been negotiating for more than a 269 00:13:27,150 --> 00:13:26,790 month with people at a different 270 00:13:29,999 --> 00:13:27,160 location 271 00:13:32,430 --> 00:13:30,009 to set up another camera there and night 272 00:13:36,059 --> 00:13:32,440 before the earthquake I did set up for 273 00:13:38,129 --> 00:13:36,069 the first time a second camera and so we 274 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:38,139 have one at rodeo Road and when it 275 00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,250 Golden Eagle Observatory and you can see 276 00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:44,079 in the last hours prior to the 277 00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:46,300 earthquake at Japan you can see these 278 00:13:51,150 --> 00:13:49,000 color shifts are ongoing at both 279 00:13:52,889 --> 00:13:51,160 locations 280 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:52,899 we also got something that I won't go 281 00:13:57,150 --> 00:13:54,730 into very much here but we call them 282 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,160 micro lights the little tiny flashes 283 00:14:04,189 --> 00:13:59,920 these were occurring at the rodeo road 284 00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:04,199 site three hours before the earthquake 285 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:07,750 the infrared sensor was flashing like 286 00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:09,850 mad you can see here that in seven of 287 00:14:16,889 --> 00:14:14,230 these nine frames the infrared sensor 288 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:16,899 was illuminated and this was pretty much 289 00:14:21,569 --> 00:14:18,970 consistent for the whole night I think 290 00:14:25,290 --> 00:14:21,579 there were 78 flashes you know in that 291 00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:25,300 time interval there was also the 292 00:14:35,009 --> 00:14:32,100 rose-colored glow at Golden Eagle and 293 00:14:38,490 --> 00:14:35,019 here is an example of a color shift and 294 00:14:41,970 --> 00:14:38,500 here you see a sort of a grayish and 295 00:14:44,129 --> 00:14:41,980 then you see the detector detect a flash 296 00:14:48,269 --> 00:14:44,139 and you can see the the chromatic shift 297 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:48,279 to a more pink purple color okay I'm 298 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:50,110 going to skip ahead here these are just 299 00:14:58,170 --> 00:14:53,050 colors before the earthquake another 300 00:15:01,319 --> 00:14:58,180 micro flash this is the nearby Clarkdale 301 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:01,329 you can see purple again and the variety 302 00:15:07,650 --> 00:15:04,930 of colors and skip through these the 303 00:15:09,090 --> 00:15:07,660 same thing I was taking a field 304 00:15:11,790 --> 00:15:09,100 measurements the field 305 00:15:14,579 --> 00:15:11,800 doubled right after this Clark Field 306 00:15:20,939 --> 00:15:14,589 earthquake and I'll skip over that you 307 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:20,949 can see the colors okay 308 00:15:26,249 --> 00:15:22,930 the mechanisms sometimes there's a 309 00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:26,259 capacitor like discharge of the infrared 310 00:15:33,929 --> 00:15:30,600 flashers but how do we get from 311 00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:33,939 transpacific transmissions there are 312 00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:37,420 some candidates the Aurora airglow total 313 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:40,510 electron content variations 314 00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:42,730 there's been corroboration by recently 315 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:46,240 published paper by all's enough on the 316 00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:49,210 Japan Earthquake who he has taken 317 00:15:54,329 --> 00:15:50,980 infrared measurements and found them 318 00:15:58,110 --> 00:15:54,339 that correspond very much to our time 319 00:16:01,290 --> 00:15:58,120 sync sequence here's the possible 320 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:01,300 capacitor here's a map of the total 321 00:16:06,660 --> 00:16:03,130 electron content you can see that the 322 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:06,670 subsolar area is massive massively large 323 00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:10,690 so reflections or some kind of skipping 324 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:13,630 phenomena might be possible due to the 325 00:16:18,810 --> 00:16:16,810 electron content here and this is just a 326 00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:18,820 hypothesis this is what it looks like 327 00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:20,350 normally this is what it looked like 328 00:16:24,570 --> 00:16:22,089 before the Japan earthquake I've shifted 329 00:16:28,829 --> 00:16:24,580 Japan is over here and the Pacific Basin 330 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,839 is there so this is one potential area 331 00:16:35,490 --> 00:16:30,880 another is called airglow 332 00:16:39,329 --> 00:16:35,500 which occurs at the boundaries of the 333 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:39,339 ionosphere oxygen species can color the 334 00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:40,000 air globe 335 00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:43,950 both into the intro into the ultraviolet 336 00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:46,800 monoatomic oxygen can be red and 337 00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:51,760 hydroxyl ion can give a red glow is 338 00:16:56,910 --> 00:16:53,380 there something special about Sedona 339 00:17:02,010 --> 00:16:56,920 well before the Chilean earthquake there 340 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:02,020 was a purple fog it reported in Hungary 341 00:17:08,579 --> 00:17:04,959 so these are probably not just local the 342 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,589 Aurora we might look to that there were 343 00:17:12,179 --> 00:17:10,480 many purple Aurora that occurred before 344 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:12,189 some of these large magnitude 345 00:17:20,220 --> 00:17:15,490 earthquakes so the Austin off data shows 346 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:20,230 that he found 8 days prior to Japan he 347 00:17:28,890 --> 00:17:24,160 got increases in total electron content 348 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:28,900 and also infrared satellite imaging 8 349 00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:32,410 days prior his maximum anomalous day was 350 00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:36,220 3 to 4 days prior to which corresponds 351 00:17:41,630 --> 00:17:38,500 to our observations so there's something 352 00:17:45,419 --> 00:17:41,640 about the timing sequence here 353 00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:45,429 so we propose to look more closely at 354 00:17:52,590 --> 00:17:48,640 the total electron the electron content 355 00:17:53,730 --> 00:17:52,600 and for an area to start to 356 00:17:55,890 --> 00:17:53,740 investigating we might 357 00:17:58,110 --> 00:17:55,900 radar anomalies and all of the 358 00:17:59,940 --> 00:17:58,120 reflection problems that they have such 359 00:18:02,669 --> 00:17:59,950 as surface ducting and anomalous 360 00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:02,679 propagation we might find that there are 361 00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:08,920 some IR an e/m reflectivity so what we 362 00:18:16,049 --> 00:18:13,929 see is that that sky chromatic shifts 363 00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:16,059 can be detected remotely seven to eight 364 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:17,740 days in advance of large earthquakes 365 00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:20,170 digital cameras can detect non optical 366 00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:22,660 colors the white balance of the camera 367 00:18:25,860 --> 00:18:23,679 might play a part 368 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:25,870 infrared might be a component of the 369 00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:28,809 chromatic changes anomalous infrared 370 00:18:32,490 --> 00:18:30,790 emissions and ionosphere changes before 371 00:18:34,919 --> 00:18:32,500 larger earthquake have been described by 372 00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:34,929 Austin off a tell at similar time 373 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:37,630 intervals to what we observe inexpensive 374 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:40,090 motion detectors are able to detect 375 00:18:46,410 --> 00:18:42,730 these IR flashes UV is a possible 376 00:18:48,750 --> 00:18:46,420 optical wavelength that may contribute 377 00:18:51,870 --> 00:18:48,760 we haven't investigated that the 378 00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:51,880 mechanism for IR and UV over great 379 00:18:56,460 --> 00:18:54,670 distances we look to possibly radar 380 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:56,470 science and to forecast earthquakes 381 00:19:00,770 --> 00:18:58,450 let's look at the atmosphere and not the 382 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:00,780 ground thank you 383 00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:14,340 you said you had a second camera was it 384 00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:16,929 oriented in the same direction generally 385 00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:19,630 yes if you thought of setting up a 386 00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:22,559 system of maybe three cameras or 387 00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:26,200 possibly if you can afford it for say to 388 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:28,480 north south east and west and see if 389 00:19:34,169 --> 00:19:31,450 there's any effect in the color and the 390 00:19:36,690 --> 00:19:34,179 intensity of the light compared to where 391 00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:36,700 the locate the location relative 392 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:39,520 location of the earthquakes yes we'd 393 00:19:43,950 --> 00:19:42,010 love to do that the cameras that are 394 00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:43,960 capable of getting high quality color 395 00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:46,390 cost about two thousand five or six 396 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:49,150 hundred dollars so we are limited by the 397 00:19:55,919 --> 00:19:51,760 financial resources of how many cameras 398 00:20:00,419 --> 00:19:55,929 we do have two cameras possibly a third 399 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:00,429 camera but the they're not as good as 400 00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:03,610 the primary camera which is ad700 and we 401 00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:05,080 would love to get the funding to do 402 00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:07,120 exactly what you recommended these 403 00:20:12,210 --> 00:20:09,760 cameras by the way we're facing in the 404 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:12,220 opposite direction of the Pacific Basin 405 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:15,250 they were facing northeast so whatever 406 00:20:23,340 --> 00:20:18,250 these changes are they appear to be all 407 00:20:26,130 --> 00:20:23,350 over the entire horizon and globe yeah 408 00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:26,140 hi Masha um one question I everything 409 00:20:32,490 --> 00:20:28,750 was pretty much taken from Sedona other 410 00:20:34,980 --> 00:20:32,500 than what you noted and there's why 411 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:34,990 aren't you using the vastly available 412 00:20:39,779 --> 00:20:36,730 satellite data because we are measuring 413 00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:39,789 in every wavelength possible and it 414 00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:43,150 seems that you know maybe even you know 415 00:20:47,909 --> 00:20:44,980 writing a grant to try to do some 416 00:20:50,430 --> 00:20:47,919 modeling and working with climatologist 417 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:50,440 and and because there's a tremendous 418 00:20:56,159 --> 00:20:52,450 amount of stated satellite data that we 419 00:20:58,350 --> 00:20:56,169 are collecting on this very thing well 420 00:21:00,149 --> 00:20:58,360 that's great I do review a lot of 421 00:21:04,039 --> 00:21:00,159 satellite data but I'd like to talk to 422 00:21:06,930 --> 00:21:04,049 you and find out the availability of 423 00:21:10,649 --> 00:21:06,940 what is available yes definitely thank 424 00:21:12,570 --> 00:21:10,659 you okay is this data hand analyzed and 425 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:12,580 looked at or is there a computer model 426 00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:15,970 for automating the analysis and have you 427 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:18,340 had any false positives 428 00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:20,710 right now it has been all hand to 429 00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:23,350 analyze this is you know really a 430 00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:27,340 prototype initial observation empirical 431 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:31,260 data and I am looking into being able to 432 00:21:36,690 --> 00:21:34,330 get quantitative and qualitative data in 433 00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:36,700 order to analyze it because there were 434 00:21:43,950 --> 00:21:41,590 since we've been looking at the infrared 435 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:43,960 flashes there are about a hundred and 436 00:21:48,649 --> 00:21:46,690 eighty thousand pictures and more than a 437 00:21:50,879 --> 00:21:48,659 million pictures to look at 438 00:21:53,310 --> 00:21:50,889 high-resolution pictures since we've 439 00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:53,320 started taking these so I'm desperately 440 00:21:58,139 --> 00:21:56,559 looking to computerize thank you if you 441 00:22:02,310 --> 00:21:58,149 have any suggestions I'd like to hear 442 00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:02,320 that many of the phenomena you described 443 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:04,870 are similar to what HAARP is supposedly 444 00:22:08,669 --> 00:22:06,610 doing to the ionosphere heating the 445 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:08,679 ionosphere which would affect the 446 00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:10,720 infrared have you correlated any of this 447 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:13,600 with the activity of the HAARP station 448 00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:16,570 there are some groups that track when 449 00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:20,559 it's on when it's off etc no I haven't 450 00:22:24,330 --> 00:22:23,350 and I wasn't aware that there was you 451 00:22:28,139 --> 00:22:24,340 know I know that HAARP 452 00:22:31,409 --> 00:22:28,149 takes a lot of data observational but 453 00:22:32,879 --> 00:22:31,419 I'm not aware of the websites that tell 454 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:32,889 when it's transmitting I guess I'd like 455 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:34,809 to know that but no I haven't done 456 00:22:41,789 --> 00:22:38,850 anything like that Sedona is noted for 457 00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:41,799 anomalous activities I believe I wonder 458 00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:44,740 if any of other remote sites that you 459 00:22:52,620 --> 00:22:48,480 mentioned are also noted for anomalies 460 00:22:58,490 --> 00:22:52,630 and also do you have access to any 461 00:23:01,049 --> 00:22:58,500 magnetometer at the observatory we run 462 00:23:04,019 --> 00:23:01,059 magnetometers 24/7 we have two 463 00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:04,029 magnetometers very sensitive down to one 464 00:23:09,779 --> 00:23:07,480 gamma and I have not yet had the 465 00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:09,789 opportunity the time to try and 466 00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:14,769 correlate it with these flashes so and 467 00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:16,870 as far as the normally that's that's why 468 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:41,049 I didn't do it 469 00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:43,910 we're gonna have two quick questions and 470 00:23:54,730 --> 00:23:52,470 then that's a wrap on this Marsha Marsha 471 00:23:56,510 --> 00:23:54,740 a few months ago I was at the New York 472 00:23:59,780 --> 00:23:56,520 Metropolitan Museum and they had a 473 00:24:01,460 --> 00:23:59,790 screen up there that shows earthquakes 474 00:24:05,270 --> 00:24:01,470 happening around the world over the last 475 00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:05,280 month and there were probably 50 or 60 476 00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:07,710 of them shown including some magnitude 6 477 00:24:12,140 --> 00:24:09,809 and I'm just wondering how are you 478 00:24:14,330 --> 00:24:12,150 considering that you are separating out 479 00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:14,340 the actual earthquakes that you're 480 00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:16,110 looking at versus the earthquakes that 481 00:24:27,230 --> 00:24:24,270 are occurring all over the world it's 482 00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:27,240 hello ok it's a rare day that there is 483 00:24:32,690 --> 00:24:29,630 not a magnitude 5 earthquake somewhere 484 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:32,700 on the planet and a magnitude 6 485 00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:34,650 earthquake happens about every 3 days 486 00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:37,620 somewhere so we really have to be very 487 00:24:42,770 --> 00:24:39,900 careful with the magnitude selection and 488 00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:42,780 that's why I showed you by not selecting 489 00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:44,760 earthquakes using the three largest that 490 00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:46,320 have happened since the system has been 491 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:49,110 in operation and then also the largest 492 00:24:55,850 --> 00:24:51,530 and closest and also the most anomalous 493 00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:55,860 close earthquake they do other 494 00:25:00,410 --> 00:24:58,530 earthquakes do cause some noise in the 495 00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:00,420 system and this is where we need to do 496 00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:03,030 some statistical Monte Carlo or 497 00:25:08,690 --> 00:25:05,760 superposed epic analysis and this is the 498 00:25:11,630 --> 00:25:08,700 next step but basically I would say that 499 00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:11,640 we see the anomalies in magnitudes 7 and 500 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:13,260 above earthquakes unless they're almost 501 00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:18,090 right under our feet last question 502 00:25:22,430 --> 00:25:20,760 thank you for that talk did you're 503 00:25:24,650 --> 00:25:22,440 probably aware that the silicon sensors 504 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:24,660 that are used in digital cameras have a 505 00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:27,690 basic response from 380 nanometers out 506 00:25:34,220 --> 00:25:31,710 to 1,100 in the eye is at 555 so the 507 00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:34,230 sensor itself and they put filters in 508 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:36,360 front so to get the human eye response 509 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:37,770 which if you want to look in the 510 00:25:40,669 --> 00:25:39,330 infrared it's just what you don't want 511 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:40,679 so I wonder if you had thought about 512 00:25:45,530 --> 00:25:42,690 talking to a manufacturer to take off 513 00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:45,540 that filter that they put on the front 514 00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:48,000 of the sensor then you'd automatically 515 00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:50,670 have a very wide-ranging infrared 516 00:26:01,160 --> 00:25:55,940 yes that's a very good idea and I have 517 00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:01,170 done that the graph that you that you 518 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:03,750 saw shows the series of filters that are 519 00:26:10,670 --> 00:26:05,850 in place in most cameras and also the 520 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:10,680 hot mirror which takes out the wings of 521 00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:14,610 the spectrum and I think it's Sony it 522 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:19,230 might be Sony or there is a manufacturer 523 00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:21,600 that makes a camera without the hot 524 00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:23,550 mirror again it's very expensive and 525 00:26:29,690 --> 00:26:26,940 we're limited by our you know funding 526 00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:29,700 capacity but yes I in fact I've been 527 00:26:35,770 --> 00:26:31,110 celebrating over getting one of those
