This is unusual but possible

Cloaking or Solar Hurricane?

Invisibility cloaks are a popular trope in fantasy and science fiction, from Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter. In the real world, scientists have been tinkering with cloaking devices for several years (using microwaves, light refraction, and other methods), but haven’t yet come up with a practical way to render objects invisible. Until today...(Theme song)

I saw a massive cloaking test today or at least it seemed as such. My wife and I were standing on the Huntington beach pier when we couldn't help but notice that something very weird was taking place in front of our eyes. It was miles wide, extending from the harbor way out into the ocean. This was not fog. Visibility was clear as far as the eye could see. Catalina Island was visible.

Now you have to understand that both of us have lived here all of our lives. we know what the Long Beach coastline looks like from the pier. Today there was a mirage of sorts reflecting the buildings and landscape features. It shimmered and hid some of the view. The white Spruce Goose building seemed to shape shift right before our eyes. Becoming a hugh white mushroom that danced around.

And then the buildings were reflected in a very distorted way. The strange thing was that the wind was a cold westerly wind from the ocean so there wasn't any heat that could cause a mirage.. We watched in amazement as the thing shape shifted and undulated. I sensed that it could be some sort of a cloaking test by the Navy...who knows. My mind raced for answers. There was a column that could be seen that mysteriously moved out and away from us that looked like a small tower embedded in sort of a fog. Only problem was that it was a crystal clear day with no fog to be seen any where..except for what we were viewing. It was like a flexible fun house mirror that kept slowly moving, reflecting and distorting. But it wasn't like a heat wave or anything else I have ever seen before.

We stood and watched this strange phenomena as hundreds of people went about their business all around us with out even noticing. They walked the pier, played in the ocean on this sunny day. Only a few people seemed to be paying attention to what we were seeing,  I knew the average person wouldn't notice because few people even notice the spraying going on over head on most days.  The Palos Verdes Hills had most of the leading edge completely vanish while we watched. Now this was truly something strange indeed!

Here is one example:

Here is the technical rocket science explanation behind what we may have witnessed.

“Using these nanotube sheets, concealment can be realized over the entire optical range and rapidly turned on and off at will, using either electrical heating or a pulse of electromagnetic radiation. The research results also provide useful insights into the optimization of nanotube sheets as thermoacoustic projectors for loud speaker and sonar applications, where sound is produced by heating an alternating electrical current.”

Ok...I had my fun with the conspiracy angle point to this story...

Now the less exciting reality of all this is "Electromagnetic Radiation" hitting the earth from the sun. There is a hugh "Solar Storm" going on right now from the sun. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16701407

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/01/solar-storm-causes-flights-to-be-rerouted/

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/01/120124-solar-storm-geomagnetic-auroras-flights-sun-earth-space-science/

The sun goes through an 11 year cycle where sunspots come and go on the suns surface. During the peak of the cycle, solar storms occur.

Solar storms start with powerful magnetic fields in the sun which can snap at any time releasing immense amounts of energy into space. Some of the solar particles from the explosion could hit earth at about a million miles an hour.

Usually the magnetosphere, a protective shield created by the earth's magnetic field, blocks most of the solar particles keeping damage to a minimum. Unfortunately the magnetosphere has been weakening recently and its ability to protect earth has been reduced.

Another concern is that researchers predict the next solar peak will be 30% to 50% stronger than the last one which occurred in 2001. Solar flares have done considerable damage to the earth in the past, even when our magnetosphere was strong.

With all of the experiments going on using Haarp one wonders if the magnetosphere is weakened. Could this be the cause of the strange light bending views going on that my wife and I witnessed today? I do think that we saw what the solar storm does when it hits light photons and scatters them. Now the Xfiles element to this story is that when I  viewed the videos of all of this that I had taken with my phone, none of what we had seen had even showed up!

Is Google becoming evil? I Love A Good Conspiracy...

"The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Google will require users to allow the company to follow their activities across e-mail, search, YouTube, and other services; a radical shift in strategy that is expected to invite greater scrutiny of its privacy and competitive practices. The information will enable Google to develop a fuller picture of how people use its growing empire of Web sites. Consumers will have no choice but to accept the changes. The policy will take effect March 1 and will also impact Android mobile phone users. 'If you're signed in, we maycombine information you've provided from one service with information from other services,' Alma Whitten, Google's director of privacy, product, and engineering, wrote in a blog post."The angle of the Washington Post article is a bit negative; Google sees this as consolidating an absurd number of privacy policies for its various services into a single, unified document. ReaderMcGruber adds: "Donald E. Graham, the Washington Post's chairman and CEO, joined Facebook's Board of Directors in January 2009. Curiously, the Washington Post article neglects to disclose that."

Google has done so much to enhance the internet experience. You are here because of Google and their benevolence. This blog and all of it's bandwidth usage is/are supplied entirely by Google. We are blessed by them! So what if they want to give all our post and all of our searches to anyone. We are transparent and don't care. Go for it!

"First of all, DuckDuckGo doesn't track you, so you get real privacy when you search the web. Google tracks pretty much everything you do so they can better target you with advertisements. I have no problems with targeted advertising, and I have no issues in and of itself with Google collecting such information (in the end, I decide what I feed the web)."

"The music industry is seeking over a dozen changes to Canadian anti-piracy bill C-11, including website blocking, Internet termination for alleged repeat infringers, and an expansion of the "enabler" provision that is supposedly designed to target pirate sites. Meanwhile, the Entertainment Software Association of Canada also wants an expansion of the enabler provision along with further tightening of the already-restrictive digital lock rules. It's concerning that some of these expansions will create a risky situation for legitimate websites, as SOPA did in the US. Michael Geist outlines the legal history and complications here."
"You think European cars are small now, wait till the Hiriko takes to the roads in Spain's northern Basque country. The two-seater is about the size of a SmartCar, but when parked, the car can actually fold. After folding the car takes up about a third of a normal parking space. The Hiriko, Basque for 'urban car,' folds as the rear of the car slides underneath its chassis. Every square foot counts."
"If a ballot was lost in the cloud, would anyone know? Several states are using an online balloting website based on Microsoft's Azure cloud-computing platform to allow U.S. voters living overseas to cast their votes via the Web in 2012 primary elections. In addition to a now complete Florida primary, Virginia and California will use the system for their primaries, and Washington state will use it for its caucus. To ensure the ballots are from legitimate voters, people use unique identifying information to access their ballots online, according to Microsoft. Once received, the signature on the ballot is matched with registration records to further verify identity."
