Under pressure from relatives, doctors and diplomats, Russia’s health minister Yuri Shevchenko has finally identified the mystery gas used to end the Moscow hostage crisis, saying it?s based on a narcotic called fentanyl. It killed all but 2 of the 119 hostages who died, but Shevchenko says, “By themselves, these compounds cannot provoke a fatal outcome.” He says the mass deaths occurred because the hostages were physically weak after three days in captivity.

Two highly reputable scientists are studying what used to be a disreputable phenomenon in straight science: Near-death experiences. With the advent of modern medicine, NDEs have become a much more common experience that include seeing a white light and being greeted by dead relatives. Patients rise above their own bodies and see doctors frantically trying to resuscitate them.

There have been 108 earthquakes over 5.0 magnitude in the last 30 days, and now a 7.9 magnitude earthquake has struck Alaska, 75 miles south of Fairbanks. Scientists are struggling to understand how to predict quakes in time to provide effective warning, but so far they have only managed to get a few minutes’ notice. They don’t know why quakes seem to come in clusters or if an earthquake in one area will set off a quake somewhere else. Even the idea of earthquake clusters is controversial, because too little is know about how deep areas of the planet function to be certain if there even can be a connection between quakes in different parts of the world.

The two images shown here are of a crop circle from last summer and a newly discovered nucleotide. Information relating to these images was discussed with Dr. Roger Leir on Dreamland 11/02/02.

The nucleotide was discovered at Cambridge University in England in 1986. It shows the DNA curvature around a eukaryotic nucleosome.

The scientist who discovered the nucleotide believes that the crop circle is an image of it, and the resemblance is indeed startling. He says, “Very few people on earth could have drawn that structure in such detail and so precisely. It was the first time I had returned to Cambridge in 15 years.”
