 		A Ley line did spring to mind, but also someone or something travelling towards Redmond. Ley lines are usually linked to old places though stone circles and the like so...

If this is the case then Alabama is a little off course Very Happy

Please correct this if I'm wrong, (and it's possible, I did lose the thread a couple of times Embarassed ) but wasn't the idea that the events were happening along the line in BOTH directions?

If so, then couldn't the location of the events be where an outward spiral crosses a line at 500M intervals?

 		Note to self: Must pay attention to actual details! Embarassed

Just thought with the speculation that the next event would be near Redmond it was heading in that direction Question

If not a anomoly trail, then maybe a line joining two places?

This is much better than working....

You're right, I can't believe it! Hopefully you'll have better luck with the next one. There's no real news here. Everything at the office is as hectic as it was when you left. When you get back I want to talk to you about MLO, I think that the stress is beginning to get to him, though I'm sure you know him better than I do. Your place is still standing and Laika is having a blast here, though she does miss you. She has really enjoyed the backyard and only got through the fence once. Nothing to worry about though, she came as soon as I called for her.


Apoligies if this has already been mention i couldnt find it anywhere so i posted it.

Looks like Laika is going to get through the fence one more time and never come back.

 		Satellites
Alright, I hadn't thought about that idea at all, but here is some info you all might want to take a look at.

http://science.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/3D/JTrack3D.html

This is a real time satellite tracker and if you check on the satellite named orbcomm FM 16, then you will notice that its path is on an angle that it actually does run through appx where many of those points would be. It updates every second, so you might have to do a little estimating. Also, this satellite does move fast enough to cover the ground between the dates of occurances because the satellite has moved from over alabama (weird) to just now passing Rio. I think this may be a real possibility.
Late,

 		just some food for thought, but has anyone looked at the actual times of the anomolies? We might see a pattern there. Certain events in daylight, other in darkness. We see similar events happening, maybe they are in some sort of order, or occur in predictable intervals?

We might even be able to determine the speed at which the anomolies appear, maybe the are speeding up, or slowing down in a predictable pattern. We know the path they are taking, and we know the direction, so I'd venture a guess that the time is predictable too.

I live on food for thought. Very Happy

This is part of the problem of figuring out the timing pattern ... nailing down when the events actually happened. In the case of 94 - Loss of Visible Light in the Night Sky, we don't even have a date. I think we might have to assume it is on August 15th (at the same time as 95 - Thruster Flare, nearby in Idaho ... just as 92 & 93 were on the same day near each other in Georgia ... so 92/93 and 94/95 could each become a single data point ... incidentally the two events where there is no date in the archives 92 & 94 are the very ones that are double bookmarked! 92 does have a date in the Current section).

Similarly, the cows disappear at 2 PM on Sept. 11th in Lincoln, AR (96 - Cow Tripping) and 97- Ill-timed Fireworks in Ozark National Forest occurs sometime during the same day, a mere 50 or so miles away. Maybe the fireworks frightened the cows? Those two locations are also pretty close together, they could also be a single data point. The following five points and don't have that paired quality to them.

But back to the time of day ... looking through Beth's stuff, here's what I can find:

Code:
ID    DESCRIPTION     LOCATION DATE     TIME
94-95 In the Sky      Idaho    08/15/03 night
92-93 Lights          Georgia  08/21/03 unknown
96-97 Frightens cows  Arkansas 09/11/03 aft.(2 PM)
98    Flying cat      Kansas   09/24/03 aft.(4:54 PM)
99    Watch your step Wyoming  10/01/03 daytime
100   Fallen house    Arkansas 10/06/03 afternoon
101   Seeing no red   Idaho    10/16/03 unknown
102   Horse           Alabama  10/27/03 daytime

No idea about a pattern in time yet, but I think that is all we can get out of Beth's data in terms of when they events occurred.

(EDIT: ID and date for horse event are provisional ... and I have changed my mind and decided to guess that the horse event should be on the 29th for reasons detailed in a post below)

(EDIT AGAIN: It turned out to be the 27th ... )

 		Looking at the maps something came to mind ...... what path is Mars taking? Its the closest its going to be in a gajillion years (ok I made that up but its a freaking loing time) and the coincidence is enought to warrant some investigation.

There is an anomoly that the stars and moon vanished one night ...... maybe we need to look at the stars and constellations? The North Star has served as a guiding light for thousands of years ..............

Most definitely, I think I already posted about this somewhere else, saying about the fact that kat wouldnt bring up the fence thing unless so she at a later time could say "im sorry, i already told you about laika going thru the fence, there was nothing i cud do...the lorry just went straight over laika and then reversed...then drove forward, and then reversed again, then finally the driver jumped out and landed on laikas neck...im sorry beth". (sorry to any animal lovers, im just kidding...i love dogs Smile lol)

Although there's no evidence to support it, this would probably be a daytime thing, the absense of red would be less apparant at night.

Has she actually assigned the code to this one anywhere or is this just speculation?
Yeah, I know it's likely to be this - unless her archives get "adjusted" before she posts it Wink

Blast! Forgot to mention that in my post (Mad at self). Can anyone glean on exactly what day the horse incident occurred from Beth's communications? I'm guessing the 28th, but it could just as easily have been the 29th (or on an earlier day). I'm pretty sure it should be daytime since the guy was working his barn. And no, it's not in her archive yet, so no official number (just easier to work with as data if you give it an ID like the others) ... I gather she'll get around to it unless something happens in her life that makes that impossible Very Happy

(EDIT: I am recanting on this. I now think the working assumption should be on the 29th ... this is not the sort of thing Beth could possibly keep to herself ... her email to Katgirl on the 29th reads as pretty excited ... she must have wrote that email on the day of the event.)

(EDIT AGAIN: It turned out to be the 27th)
