UFO? NASA GOES satellite catches photo of unknown object in Earth Atmosphere.
WordPress and YouTube do not seem to be in communication anymore thanks to the Google update. You’ve got to click the link directly to see, well- something over the ocean between California and Japan.
What in the Sam Hell is that triangle thingy ma bopper? Is it coming or going? Up or Down? The images come from reliable NASA GOES Satellite. http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goeseast/fulldisk/3band_color/ This is NASA folks, the most reliable scientists going!
Could it be from Fukushima? A giant amount of super heated particles damaging the ozone layer? Is that why HAARP picked up absolutely NOTHING? That is one heck of an entry for Phobos-Grunt. Not.
There are are whole bunch of other Satellites checking on our blue marble. Maybe someone else has time to search the databases for oddities on December 4, 2011.?.

Iceland is very seismically active and has numerous volcanoes and it looks like another eruption could occur anytime.
The Eyjafjallajokoll volcano that erupted last year created havoc and some great conspiracy. Air travel was interrupted grounding airplanes all over Europe. The stoppage was supposedly due to silica in the ash possibly clogging the engines; even though airplanes fly sand storms in Afghanistan and Iraq.
We thought we found a face on the surface.
The scream: A radar image shows the crater of Eyjafjallajokull in southeast Iceland, which looks like the nightmarish face painted by Edvard Munch. AFP GETTY IMAGES.
Some blamed global warming. Icelandic Met Office http://en.vedur.is/hydrology/articles/nr/2110 said, “In some areas of Iceland’s glaciers, where ash from the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption was sufficiently thick, glacial melt increased. However, on western Mýrdalsjökull ice cap which is next to Eyjafjallajökull, the ash was so thick that it acted as an insulator.”
“Increased glacial melt due to volcanic ash, unless thick enough to insulate.”
Hard to imagine a scientist that doesn’t blame global warming isn’t it? One thing we learned more about from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption is that there seems to be a connection between earthquake swarms and eruptions. We wouldn’t have thought it to be rocket science, just rock science. When adding one and one you get two. When the earth shakes it makes sense that the likelihood of a fissure releasing volcanic ash and lava increases.
Volcanic System of Iceland
The Volcanic System of Iceland runs the length of the country, pretty much right down the middle. Last year the great worry was that Katla, the big sister of Eyjafjallajokull was also going to erupt. This image from the Met office is from May 21, 2010 to give an indication of the rumblings underground. Katla did not errupt.
On May 24, 2010 the eruption was declared over. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/icelands-volcano-eruption-endstops/ It was also about the same time Scientists in China succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles) A connection, an off switch? Of course we could always blame HAARP.
Like a pregnancy, here we are 9 months later and mother nature looks like she is about to give birth to more eruptions in Iceland.
Earthquake count in the last 48 hours as of Friday, Feb 11, 2011, about 10:30 am EST:
The Icelandic Met Office has issued that there is no eruption about to start in Bárðarbunga volcano. News that claim that are wrong and remain that until proven otherwise.
Iceland Met Office announcement. Original announcement can be found here (IMO web site)
Specialist remark
Presently, there are no signs of an imminent volcanic eruption in Iceland. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) did not issue a warning last weekend in connection with increased seismicity beneath the Vatnajökull ice-cap. If signs of an eruption were apparent, IMO would issue a warning immediately.
A lot of earthquakes does not always mean that an eruption is immanent. It sometimes just means a lot of earthquakes and nothing more. Media dramatization does not chance this fact.

There is no ashfall being reported although there is still some steam and the earthquakes have subsided a bit. We are still seeing seismic activity creeping towards Katla as we reported previously this week at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/icelands-katla-volcano-recent-earthquakes/ There were two mild tremors detected in the last 24 hours near the Katla volcano.
Earthquakes Subsiding, May 25, 2010
Who turned off the volcano’s switch? A few days ago there was no end in sight.
Scientists have several ways of forecasting when the Eyjafjallajökull eruption will stop. But their data – and history – suggest the Iceland volcano’s ash cloud could persist for some time…The rumblings of small earthquakes can suggest that magma is still welling up from the bowels of the earth, feeding the eruption. The distension of the mountain itself – measured through global positioning system devices – can also provide hints as to whether the volcano is swelling or deflating. As of last week, scientists were still measuring dozens of small earthquakes beneath the volcano, suggesting that no end was in sight. http://www.truthout.org/iceland-volcano-ash-cloud-when-will-eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull-eruption-stop59600
No end in sight but something is going on inside? Maybe something is going on outside. HAARP, CERN, FERMI and similar particle physics labs were doing the usual. There were no reports out of the ordinary unless, you call teleportation ordinary.
Bob and Alice Photons Teleport 10 Miles
Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal.http://www.physorg.com/news193551675.html
Could it transmit a signal deep into the earth to cause an earthquake? Could the energy of a photon, atom or a HAARP array have the power to move energy from one volcano to another? Say to maybe Costa Rica?
(PhysOrg.com) http://www.physorg.com/news193990952.html — By demonstrating how a single artificial atom can be used to amplify electromagnetic waves, physicists from Japan are opening up new possibilities for quantum amplifiers, which can be used in a variety of electronic and optical applications.
Amplified electromagnetic waves?!?We already know HAARP’s high-frequency radio waves can accelerate electrons in the atmosphere, increasing the energy of their collisions. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/earthquake-haarp-connection-evidence/ Now we are now talking about an Atom possibly having the same ability to amplify electromagnetic waves, if not into the atmosphere certainly here on earth..
Maybe the author is right, maybe he is wrong. Should we just take off our tinfoil hats and be happy that a major volcanic eruption in Iceland just stopped?
Can’t help but thinking:
David Rockefeller said, “All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” In the Project for a New American Century document Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century we find the following: “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/
For now, one catalyzing event that grounded air travel over much of Europe seems to be over. Too bad we can’t teleport in time to fix a whole lot of what is wrong in the world.

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull last status shows a decline in the ash cloud. The ground continues to rumble and earthquake activity is increasing under the bigger volcano, Katla.
The earthquakes at the Katla volcano site appear to possibly be increasing in frequency as of this moment (time will tell however). Since May 17 there have been four earthquakes at or very near Katla, while a 5th just on the edge of the Myrdalsjokull glacier.
Although 4 or 5 earthquakes at the volcano site in 4 days does not indicate a drastic change in pattern, the interesting notation at the moment is the fact that the two most recent earthquakes occurred within 3 hours of each other on 21 May, 2010, at depths of 5km and 13km. That in itself is an increase in occurrence. It may be an anomaly, but it justifies keeping one eye on Katla, the big sister of Eyjafjallajokull.
There is some correlation between earthquakes and the prediction of an eruption, but they are unreliable. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how to predict when a volcano will stop erupting? In Hawaii, the world’s longest erupting volcano, Kilauea began erupting 10,000 days ago yesterday. It began erupting January 23, 1983 and has no end in sight. Blogger Leigh Hilbert lives near the volcano and has daily updates and fabulous photos- http://hawaiianlavadaily.blogspot.com/2010/05/hawaii-volcanoes-national-park.html. I wish we could send him to Iceland for awhile to make the comparisons between the two and to provide better photos than we are getting from the press there. Are there no professional photographers in Iceland?

Mount Saint Helen’s volcano erupted thirty years ago today-May 18, 1980. “The devastation erupted so violently that it leveled 150 square miles of trees, sent the mountain’s north face 14 miles down the Toutle River and dropped gray ash around the world.” http://www.usatoday.com/NEWS/usaedition/2010-05-17-mtsthelens17_ST_U.htm?csp=34
The destruction began at 8:32 a.m. on May 18, when the north side of the mountain slid away after two months of intense earthquake activity and weaker eruptions. The landslide uncorked pressurized magma and released a blast so powerful that 1,300 feet of the mountain’s peak collapsed or blew outward, 24 square miles of valley was filled by a debris avalanche, 250 square miles of land was damaged by a lateral blast, and 57 people were killed.
Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull began the eruption in the same way, with an increase an increase of earthquake activity. Eya continues to erupt and cause disruptions, but no one has died and the lava has not spread 150 miles of devastation. Eya is holding us hostage, not sending us running for cover-at least not yet.
It is Iceland’s other major volcano’s that are becoming increasingly the center of debate. Scientists are predicting decades of ash disruptions and predictions of eruptions from Katla, which lies only 15 miles to the east of Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruptions.
Lo and behold there was a quake beneath both Hekla on May 16 and Katla, May 17. via The Ice Met Office. Uh, oh.
An eruption at Katla would cause very sudden jökulhlaups (glacier outburst floods). They occurred during the subglacial eruption in Eyjafjallajökull volcano but have slowed. Katla’s ice crater is estimated to be 2,000 feet thick and if she blows, that ice is going to melt fast and quickly wiping out everything in it’s path. It is the fourth largest volcano in Iceland -220 sq. miles (580 sq. km). A large caldera 9 miles (14 km) in diameter underlies the ice.
At least three other big Icelandic volcanoes are building towards an eruption, according to Thor Thordarson, a volcanologist at Edinburgh University. The three other volcanoes cited by Thordarson as being potentially close to a large eruption are Grimsvotn, Hekla and Askja — all of which are bigger than Eyjafjallajokull. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article7127706.ece
Looking ever so peaceful, is the Hekla crater in this 2008 photo by David Adamson. http://picasaweb.google.com/thunder.son Hekla is 75 miles (120 km) east of Reykjavik and last erupted in 2000.
The Institute of Earth Sciences reports, “Hekla is a volcano with special seismic characteristics. During non-eruptive periods it is virtually aseismic, and does not give any obvious long-term or intermediate-term precursory warning before eruptions. The eruption-related seismicity starts only 30-80 minutes before its onset. http://www.earthice.hi.is/page/ies_heklaseismicity
Mount St. Helen’s and Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruptions gave obvious seismic warning signs far ahead. A quiet Hekla poses a huge challenge for predictability, warnings and safety.
Human curiosity via webcams and tours to view volcano’s are common. Falling to your death in one is not so common. In February 2010, Joseph Bohlig posed for a picture with Mount Rainier in the background when he turned around and took a final step on the cornice and fell to his death.
Though the connections go down pretty often, I’ll stick to the webcams at:
Putting our tinfoil hat back on, we search for any connections between natural physical science and the possibility of man causing volcano’s, earthquakes, tsunami’s and related disasters. A cover-up of some sort? An intervention with HAARP, ESCAT, CERN, etc., and quite possibly the impact on Earth’s magnetosphere from the atmosphere all offer some plausibility. Others would say, God is just ticked off, that some catastrophes are just an, “Act of God.”
One thing for sure, volcano’s and magma’s muscle put humility in man and the power beneath our planet.

The Earthquake count at Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano had a total of 103 earthquakes occurring in the area with in a 48 hour period. From Iceland Met Office.
Earthquake count:
Magnitude less than 1: 52
Magnitude 1 to 2: 41
Magnitude 2 to 3: 10
Magnitude more than 3: 0
Total: 103
The number total changes with the clock, but 100 plus detectable quakes in a 48 hour period is nothing to sneeze at. These earthquakes were only the ones around the eruption. We are now beginning to see increases in magnitude and frequency across all of Iceland. There is little doubt that seismic eruptions and deformations in the earth’s crust could cause magma to flow toward fractures around the larger Katla volcano.
RUV reports a series of earthquakes under and around Eyjafjallajokull which could signal changes to the volcanic eruption. According to geophysicist Steinunn Jakobsdottir, the quakes could be a sign of a new vent about to open. The volcano already has three vents, but only the one on the northernmost edge is still erupting.
Ash fall in the area has been decreasing and is currently very fine but large rocks have replaced the ash production, apparently caused by the earthquakes. The rocks are being shot high up into the air and crashing down onto the glacier, making holes in the ice. The size and weight of the rocks means that they are a very localised problem and only fall very near to the volcano.http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2010/05/11/air-travel-normalising-again-as-volcano-changes-behaviour
While ash fall has certainly NOT been decreasing, apparently, the volcano is also bulging slightly, read here…link to content.usatoday.com
Today’s earthquakes locations are all over Iceland, as opposed to just being centered around Eyjafjallajokull only reporting 3 mild quakes so far.
Earthquake Swarms Under All of Iceland
Connect the dots and there is a pattern. Perhaps the level of Magma is rising and spreading. We’ve all heard about the chance of another volcano eruption and maybe these changes are a significant predictor of things to come. In the below image you can see the plate boundaries, and that is where most of the quakes are occurring.
Looking above ground and watching the numerous web cams we found a live video stream for May 11, 2010 that has an unknown object flying around http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9734/volcan0.mp4. The stream was recorded from this site. http://mulakot.net/images/myndavelar/14flugv.jpg It is a condensed 6 hours in 40 seconds, each frame is 15 seconds apart or close and runs a minute or two long.
A UFO, a spotter plane, a Chinese lantern? What ever it is, it is flying about in the Tephra fallout.
Looking at more of today’s images, it looks like there may be a new vent or crater as geophysicist Steinunn Jakobsdottir suggested. It appears the be releasing steam or gas at this time. None the less, most of the world’s airspace remains open even though it has reached as far as Africa. The latest updates on the Ash Cloud …
One has to wonder if the recent horrible plane crash has any correlation to the ash?

Some of these quakes getting closer to fault line toward Helka and Katla, which if she blows will certainly send folks running for the hills. The Seismic Station, Godabunga located between Eyja and Katla and is dancing up a storm.
Godabunga (GOD) Tremor Reading May 10, 2010
We know of four Eyjafjallajokull eruptions in the past [dating back to AD 500] and in three out of these four cases, there has been a Katla eruption either at the same time or shortly after.
“By shortly, I mean timescales of months to a year. “We consider that the probability of Katla erupting in the near future has increased since Eyjafjallajokull went.” But we know there are fissures running between the two volcanoes. And they’re quite close to each other.
“They’re also being subjected to the same tectonic forces. So the chances are that if magma can find a pathway to rise beneath one of them, it can find its way to rise beneath the other.” Researchers do know that the two volcanoes have separate magma chambers, but many suspect that these chambers are physically linked in some way, deep beneath the surface of the Earth. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8668604.stm
Anyone ready to make a prediction how many quakes we will see in total just for today? At this rate we may reach a hundred! Last updated a few minutes ago-

The Ejyafjallajokull Volcano in Iceland continues it’s eruption with an increase in earthquakes and ash, once again causing air travel disruption. The Earth has just been hit by a solar storm, there is a new Sunspot capable of producing massive CME’s, and there is an Eta Aquarids meteor shower today at 4:49 GMT.
…increased earthquake activity beneath Eyjafjallajökull has been recorded. Precise locations of the earthquakes show that their source is at first very deep, at about 23 km depth, but then migrates upwards. This strongly indicates that “new” magma is intruding into the magma conduit and pushing on the over-lying magma, causing a difference in pressure at the surface. It is therefore anticipated that the eruption will continue at FULL FORCE in the next days.
Significant changes in horizontal movement at GPS stations around Eyjafjallajökull have been observed in the last 48 hours. Sourced from Iceland Met Office Update on May 5, 2010.
Besides significant GPS movements the earthquakes are increasing in Magnitude today-
Magnitude less than 1: 0
Magnitude 1 to 2: 19
Magnitude 2 to 3: 8
Magnitude more than 3: 0
Total: 27
Iceland’s Volcanic activity today is relatively calm compared to other corner’s of the world.
Yet, the world turns. The Iceland Review is reporting a “A bluish mist or gas has been seen rising into the air at Gígjökull, an Ejyafjallajokull glacial tongue, where the lava from the volcano is flowing. The mist is believed to be connected with the lava flow.
strong>UNKNOWN GAS CONNECTED TO LAVA FLOW?
May 4 Eruption 11:00:03 GMT
Vulcanologist have been study long enough to know what to expect. We’ve all heard the predictions that no one can predict anything, but who would predict that with in about an half and a half , the white gas like substance has dissipated in these time stamped photos from Google. How long has it taken for the ash to dissipate the airspace in Europe? Oh, that’s right, IT HAS NOT.
There has been something…lava or water, flowing out of the keyhole portion of the glacier since the original eruption. We have seen nothing anywhere near this amount of haze until now.
The "cloud" is mostly gone by 12:49:36 GMT, and the Sun is Shining!
No matter that it is a restricted area, at 15:39:58 this guy stopped to do whatever. It must not bee too cold up there, the guys wearing shorts standing in the middle of a glacial flow of liquid.
Nothing to see here, move along. Time for dinner, 15:39:58 GMT.
GRAB YOUR TINFOIL HAT! During the first of the major eruptions most of Europe was grounded by ash and particles in the sky. Whatever this gas is- or was, stayed close to the ground eventually blocking out the entire volcanic area. Aren’t silica particle supposed to go up, damaging plane engines? Yet this gas is eerily on the ground like a fog machine on Halloween.
Is there something to hide in all that gas under the auspice of another eruption?
HAARP? Could a government be running HAARP like tests, zapping the volcano with it’s ionospheric heat beam that, if you don’t know exists by now, you can find the HAARP home page all by yourself. Perhaps EISCAT or any of the other arrays in the area?
Weather Modification? Could the gas cloud have been a weather modification attempt? We know that weather modification has been banned by a U.N. Treaty, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. In the United States silver iodide has been injected into clouds by airplanes and from the ground for years. In the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada it has been used for decades. pdf-http://www.energy.ca.gov/2007publications/CEC-500-2007-008/CEC-500-2007-008.PDF,
A LASER BEAM, not Lightning? Ah, the beauty of a lightning storm over a volcano. Looks pretty cool, until one realizes that a laser could be used to discharge lightning to attempt to deprive a cloud of energy. It is usually associated in the case of hurricanes, but perhaps in this case- a volcano.
A liquid nitrogen cloud? Perhaps someone came up with the idea of pouring liquid nitrogen into the volcano to try to calm it down by freezing the crater to death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen Liquid nitrogen is odourless, colourless and tasteless. No one would be the wiser if it were used to try to cool magma.
Where’s the Plinian events? On April 24, 2010, the smoking volcano Eyjafjallajokull shows rainbow-like shockwaves belching from the crater like snakes from a can of nuts. Nothing to fear, though, it’s merely the aftereffects of Plinian events reported FOX NEWS via https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/iceland-volcano-visible-shockwaves-ufo/
The after effects of SOLAR STORM? A high-speed solar wind stream hit Earth’s magnetic field last night (May 2-3), sparking a geomagnetic storm that lasted more than 15 hours. In Scandinavia, the Northern Lights were so bright they could be seen through the glow of the midnight sun. Red auroras spilled across the Canadian border and were spotted in several US states.
FAST-GROWING SUNSPOT: New sunspot 1069 didn’t exist yesterday. Today it is growing rapidly (movie) with several dark, planet-sized cores and a complex magnetic field that harbors energy for C- and M-class solar flares. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments. http://spaceweather.com.
Strange sighting on April 23, 2010
ALIENS ‘n UFO’s? What’s an article on conspiracy without the aliens and ufo’s? Could this unidentified gas be some sort of spent fuel from a UFO? Perhaps the aliens just needed a walk to study the volcano? Could a fleet of UFO’s have laid a gas cover to escape or get into an underground location?
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it’s day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
hmmmmmmm
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you’ll never hear their voices
and you’ll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end. http://www.lyricsdomain.com/16/pink_floyd/two_suns_in_the_sunset.html

Boobquake, the event to create an earthquake is set for Monday, April 26, 2010.
Just when you think you’ve heard every conspiracy theory regarding the volcano’s and earthquakes, along comes a Muslim cleric saying that woman who reveal their breasts can cause earthquakes. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Tehran (April 24, 2010): A senior Iranian cleric opined that social decency would avoid earthquakes, the Tehran press reported Saturday.
Ayatollah Ahmad Janati, head of the senate-like Guardian Council, said that although no one can predict quakes, moral lifestyles filled with prayer and the giving of alms could prevent seismic activity.
The remarks by Jannati followed comments last week by cleric Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi suggesting that social immorality – such as improper women’s clothing and extramarital sex – would increase the probability of earthquakes.
In the name of science she is offering her boobs to disprove that breasts cause earthquakes and wants women around the world to help her disprove the Ayatollahs statements. So far 159, 266 people have agreed to participate in the event on facebook.
I have a modest proposal.
Sedighi claims that not dressing modestly causes earthquakes. If so, we should be able to test this claim scientifically. You all remember the homeopathy overdose?
Time for a Boobquake.
On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that’s your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I’m sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn’t rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it’ll be one involving plate tectonics.
So, who’s with me? I may be a D cup, but that will probably only produce a slight tremor on its own. If you’ll be joining me on twitter, use the tag #boobquake! Or join the facebook event!
Breasts Soap Dispenser
In an attempt to not objectify women she later wrote, “I just want to apologize if this comes off as demeaning toward women.” She also promises to do some follow up on her research.
And to the scientists who are concerned with my methods – don’t worry, I fully plan on doing some statistics after the event. I know many earthquakes happen on a daily basis, so we’re looking to see if Boobquake significantly increases the number or severity of earthquakes.
Science definitely won’t be boring for Boobquake Monday.

The explosions are called Plinian events, after the historian Pliny who described the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The gases expand rapidly and separate from the magma, causing explosive bursts of tremendous magnitude equivalent to a significant dynamite explosion. As the video shows, the explosion hurls incandescent blobs of lava hundreds of feet into the air — and cause visible shockwaves.
Bursts of tremendous magnitude? As big as a dynamite explosion? Visible shockwaves? Mmmm?
The seismic activity surrounding the volcano isn’t showing the kind of activity you would expect from an eruption large enough to create visible shockwaves.
We have this report that things are relatively calm:
The power of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption has remained stable for at least the last two days according to emergency coordinators in South Iceland. The volcanic cloud has swung round to the northwest of the glacier today, but there is little ash fall. The cloud has become lighter in colour, indicating more steam and less ash. http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2010/04/23/iceland-volcano-update-2/
The GPS stations have provided important constraints on the evolution of the activity at the volcano. Thorvaldseyri (THEY) started moving south in the end of December followed by rapid deformation at Skogaheidi (SKOG) and Steinsholt (STE2) in the weeks prior to the eruption. Stations Solheimaheidi (SOHO) and Godabunga (GOLA) have also shown significant deformation due to the activity.
Two new sites were installed in the two days prior to the eruption on Fimmvörðuháls (20. March), FIM2, a quadripod station on Fimmvörðuháls, and BAS2, steel rod in Básar. Another steel rod site, SVBH, was installed north of THEY and closer to the summit crater on the 15. April, day after it started erupting.
BAS2 Monitoring Site
Hard to believe something so simple looking could provide so much data. Surprisingly though, the readouts aren’t showing the kind of shifts one would expect from an earthquake spewing lava.
In opposition to Ice News saying things are calm, The Institute of Earth Sciences and various collaborators said in the most recent update, “Some fluctuations, with a peak shortly after midnight 22 April related to a small flood of meltwater. Since the onset of the explosive eruption the tremor has overall been gradually increasing, with superimposed fluctuations.” http://www.earthice.hi.is/page/ies_Eyjafjallajokull_eruption
Visible shockwaves aren’t uncommon, occurring with any volcano having an explosive eruption, Quick explained.(sic. Associate vice president for research and dean of grad studies at Southern Methodist University) On the smaller scale, Plinian events cause them and lead to ejecting blobs of lava. But Quick notes that such rumbles can have much greater ramifications.
“On the larger scale, they cause Plinian eruptions like Mt. St Helen in 1981,” he pointed out. via Fox News.
UFO or Solar Flare?
In the debate over whether or not the volcano is becoming more or less active, and how much invisible ash there is; there has been a frenzy of odd images and conspiracy. Check out this UFO in the above photo, a black sphere shaped object sitting in front of the sun near the volcano at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/ufo-near-iceland-volcano-on-webcam/
A perfect sphere or just the sun? A lense flare caught at just the right moment?
The Iceland volcano UFO was a single scout craft of the terraforming fleet, serving within the Federation. A craft of the member Star Nation of Tau Ceti…from the constellation of Cetus 11.8 light years away…..
So not actually a “formation,” as conjectured..
These boomerang or diamond-shaped scouts were similar types to those observed over Phoenix Arizona in 1997, known as the “Phoenix Lights.”
