The strange object that moved across midwestern skies in the early evening of Friday, October 13, has become even stranger. Oklahoma UFO investigator Jim Hickman reports that he “was monitoring local law enforcement radio channels, and at 7:31 PM local time, a radio call came in that four or five fighter planes were sighted by local police officers, traveling to the northwest. At the same time, an unidentified flying object encountered the fighters and reportedly crashed into the ground north of Elk City, Oklahoma.”

Hickman further reported that the descending UFO was seen by multiple witnesses “as far west as Shamrock, Texas and as far east as Clinton, OK, north to Cheyenne, OK and south to Granite, OK.

It’s likely that greenhouse gasses have “contributed substantially to the observed warming over the last fifty years,” says an international panel of climate scientists. They warn that temperatures could rise much more quickly than previously anticipated.

Given the rapid warming that is already taking place in the arctic, this could mean that the melting of major polar features is not far off. The weight and mass of polar ice has declined by 58% over the past fifty years and blue water appeared at the North Pole in July of 2000. Should the pole melt, the resulting flood of relatively warm fresh water into the arctic oceans could cause a decline in the force of ocean currents, and trigger sudden climate change.

Extreme weather in Asia over the past six months may be a sign of a more extreme climate change, according to U.N. weather expert Michael Coughlan.

Since June, hundreds of people have been killed and millions left homeless by floods in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh and India this year. Meanwhile, drought has caused devastation in Iran and the southern republics of the former Soviet Union, and led to mass migrations in Afghanistan. In Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, over a million people are facing starvation and deaths by dehydration are occurring among children and the very old.

The case against the cellphone continues to grow more and more serious. Swiss researchers in a sleep laboratory at the University of Zurich have found that exposure to digital mobile phone radiation while awake causes changes in brain function even hours later during sleep.

The Swiss researchers conclude that “the changes in brain function induced by pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic fields outlast the exposure period.” Dr. Michael Petrides goes on to state, “The currently available literature suggests that some aspects of cognitive function and some direct measures of brain physiology may be affected by exposure to electromagnetic fields of the type emitted by cellular phones.”

The full text of this study is available at Issue 15.)
