We recently wrote that a team of seismologists has discovered that microquakes in California?many of which can’t even be felt?predict when a Big One is due. A team of scientists that has gotten earlier earthquake predictions right now expects a 6.4 magnitude or larger quake in the Southern California desert, somewhere between Mexico and Barstow, by Sept. 5. And the recent 4.5 quake in Israel leads seismologists to predict a bigger one in the future. Past quakes there are described in the Bible, including one that may have occurred during the crucifixion.

As part of our series on new Communion Letters, “Gary” writes: It was about 9:30, Sunday night, November, 1993 when I saw the Black Triangle UFO.

I noticed three red lights low in the sky ahead of me. They were moving in unison, very slowly across my field of vision from east to west.

Whitley and Gian have a wide ranging conversation about mysterious disappearances and other cases of planes disappearing. This is a really fascinating treat. The other websites that Whitley mentions in the interview are no longer available.

59 animals have been killed in the Sao Paulo Zoo since last month, including an elephant, dromedaries, monkeys and porcupines. Tests show the animals were killed with a rat poison that is banned in Brazil.

For Reuters, Paula Lace quotes Sao Paulo minister Joao Carlos Meirelles as saying, “We can say with almost total certainty that the suspects will be identified by next week, give or take.”

The zoo has put 15 workers on leave while they are under investigation, and has ordered all zoo staff members to work in pairs. Ronaldo, who works at the zoo, says, “If this is an outside job, I can’t understand how they are managing to do it, given our strict security measures.”
