Your daily dose of natural disasters and amazing phenomena for January 10, 2023...
Normally, the polar night in Norilsk and Dudinka, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia lasts from November 30 to January 13. But this year the sun poked out from behind the horizon 10 days ealier, on January 03, 2023. Scientists don’t actually understand why. I don’t either… But Arctic residents are sharing photos of the first rays of the sun on social networks... Here’s one… Eerie…
The X-flare of Jan. 9th that I discussed in yesterday’s newsletter did something rare. It jerked Earth's magnetic field (in yellow in the graph below). Here is a composite of magnetometer recordings from Boulder, Colorado; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Fredericksburg, Virginia:
The phenomenon is called a 'magnetic crochet.' Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere and caused currents to flow 60 km to 100 km above Earth's surface. These currents, in turn, briefly altered Earth's magnetic field. Everything returned to normal a few minutes later.

For many years, countless strange artifacts have been found - books with strange codes, unexplained maps, stones carved with unusual shapes, ancient figures that depict strange things, and... the case of the Betz sphere, a mysterious metallic sphere accidentally found by an American family during the 1970s that had the ability to move on its own... At the time, the sphere caused a great media frenzy and came to be described by many as "alien technology." It all started in April 1974, when a family from the city of Jacksonville, Florida, found a strange spherical metallic object with an approximate weight of 20 pounds and dimensions somewhat smaller than those of a bowling ball…

An interesting case for sure. Basically Pfizer offering to pay for the copay component of the treatment will saddle Medicare with the rest of the costs.

During the last week, several major volcano related news stories occurred. For one, new volcanic eruptions began at three different volcanoes across the planet, with one of these eruptions occurring at the Marapi volcano in Indonesia. In India the nation's sole volcano with a historical eruption produced a brand new eruption on a remote island. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the alert level was raised at a volcano famous for producing blue lava via liquid sulfur, the Ijen volcano. And in Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano erupted once again…

The Betz Sphere:
Maybe it was alien tech? Spectrographic analysis was very interesting. I didn't buy the check valve dismissive conclusions. I think it was very strange. Funny, I do not remember that story in 1974. I was a teen, in boarding school, and had no tv then.
At least the nurses aren't making tik tok videos any longer.
