Top-Secret Weapons Testing Source: Nexus Magazine April-May 1997 © Strange fireball events have been witnessed in many
remote parts of Australia recently. With the meteor theory ruled out,
could these moving plasmoids be part of some military
secret-weapons program, or even the work of UFOs?
My research into the subject of Australian fireballs
began about two years ago in early 1995. A colleague and friend, John
Watts, of geological consultants Mackay & Schnellmann Pty Ltd, asked
for my opinion on earthquake risk in an isolated area of the Eastern
Goldfields of Western Australia (WA). John knew of my long experience
in the Laverton region, conducting geological and geophysical field
exploration surveys there for gold mineralisation - hence his approach
to me for scientific advice concerning an odd series of events that
occurred in this area of WA in May 1993.
THE BANJAWARN FIREBALL EVENTS
Whilst visiting a small underground gold-mine John had
noticed a Kalgoorlie Miner newspaper article, dated 1 June
1993, attached to the barracks' kitchen fridge door. This reported
that on 28 May 1993 at 23.03 hrs a meteor fireball
was seen by several observers to be flying from south to north between
Leonora and Laverton. This was immediately followed by a significant
3.9 Richter-scale earthquake - picked up by 23 seismic receivers
around WA and the Northern Territory (NT). Ed Paul, a geophysicist at
the AGSO (Australian Geological Survey Organisation) Mundaring Seismic
Observatory near Perth, had received several telephone calls from the
public, as had the Laverton Police. Ed had reasoned that there was a
possible
connection between the meteor fireball and the quake due to
an impact with the ground.
The small gold-mine (the Alycia mine) experienced this
quake event as underground three-inch steel pipes sheared
clean in half and drives and shafts collapsed. My friend John has done
a considerable amount of earthquake risk assessment during his
consulting career and thought that this damage pattern was more like
instantaneous blast damage, as is normally caused by big explosions,
rather than standard earthquake damage. The key to this was the
underground damage, and the type of damage caused, in comparison to
the more normal quake mine damage which is usually limited to surface
building collapse caused by
quake-induced seismic ground waves.
Many observers reported that the fireball passed
overhead making a pulsed roaring noise, similar to a very loud
road-train diesel engine, and that after the seismic wave hit they
heard a huge, long-drawn-out explosion - similar to a very major, but
long-drawn-out mine blast, but somehow peculiarly different. (Note:
The seismic ground wave moves much faster than the speed of sound from
an explosion).
At the time we reasoned that Ed Paul was probably
correct and that a meteor fireball (a bolide) could have impacted
explosively into the ground and caused the apparent "earthquake" by
impact or by airburst-explosion shock-wave induction. This area of WA
has had no recorded quakes since seismographs were first installed in
1900, nor Aboriginal racial memory of any quakes.
As such an impact event is a major geological curiosity,
often observed in the Earth's geological record but rarely recorded as
occurring in human history, we decided to
embark upon a private research project to document the
event - leading, we hoped, to scientific fame and glory. We
did not then appreciate just where this research work and
interest would lead...
I visited the area in May and June 1995 and began to
interview, by personal visit or telephone, the inhabitants
of a 300-kilometre-radius area centred upon Laverton. This
Eastern Goldfields region of WA is semi-desert and very isolated with
an extremely low population density. It contains several very large
sheep stations, a couple of small gold-mining towns (Leonora and
Laverton), plus several isolated gold-mine sites, a few gravel or dirt
roads, a lot of thick mulga bush and gum-tree scrub vegetation with
some sand dune fields and spinifex-grass
cover.
I hired a light plane so I could visit outlying stations
and Aboriginal settlements to search for eyewitnesses and for "ground
zero". This took some three weeks. A summary of
all currently available witness data follows:
A large orange-red spherical "fireball" with a very
small bluish- white conical tail had flown from low down in the
south over observers to the north. Some observers reported
that the fireball was cylindrical in form and more yellow-blue-white
in colour. It was heard as a pulsed,
roaring or loud diesel-engine sound - well before it passed
overhead. It dropped off no glowing fragments, and had no
long, luminous tail or sparks - as is common meteor activity. Its
speed was similar to a 747 jetliner or a fast jet-plane and was
obviously less than the speed of sound since loud noises were heard in
advance of its arrival.
The sounds heard before the "object" arrived were most
definitely not "normal" electrophonic sounds as have been
quite commonly reported from historical meteor fireball events. Such
electrophonic sounds are experienced as weird "pings" and "whees" of
low-volume intensity and are not fully understood at this time, but
they are believed to be due to hertzian electromagnetic (EM) waves
produced in the bolide plasma trail and propagated at the speed of
light to the observer - in advance of the bolide. These sounds are
thought to couple harmonically with the inner ear or cause nearby
objects to vibrate sympathetically, thus producing the characteristic
low-volume sounds. No sonic booms were reported, and no observer
believed that any explosion was heard until the object had got to
ground level, or very nearly so, behind low hills or treeline cover
and then exploded or impacted.
The fireball object flew apparently parallel to the
Earth's curvature in a long, "nap-of-the-Earth" arcing trajectory
at low altitude (possibly some 1,000 to 2000 metres), from low down on
the southern horizon - not with a "normal" meteor's inbound
high-angle, high-altitude trajectory.
The fireball lit up some observers and their vicinity as
it passed overhead. Its flight trajectory was observed over a distance
of least 250 km - although it probably had a much longer flight path
well out over the southern Indian Ocean from Antarctica. It then
appeared to arc down towards the
ground before it disappeared out of sight behind trees or
low hills.
This was followed by a near-blinding, massive
high-energy burst of blue-white light that rippled for about three to
five seconds. This lit up the windless, cloudless, moonless night sky
as if it were daylight. Observers could see for some 100 km in every
direction at ground level - "as clear
as day". The energy intensity involved in this light flash
was similar to the light flash generated by a significant
nuclear blast, and in many respects the incident strongly
resembled a night-time nuclear test.
A huge red-coloured flare then shot vertically skywards
for some considerable distance (several kilometres?). This event was
immediately followed by a massive seismic ground
wave that hit the observers nearest to "ground zero" such that rocks
and beer cans vibrated off tables and the ground shook so violently
that persons tending a campfire fell over.
Then followed a very loud, major explosive blast that
was heard over a 250 km by 150 km corridor. Minor quake damage was
reported as far as 150 km southeast of ground zero (the other
directions, excepting Leonora to the southwest, being
largely uninhabited). Located that night in Laverton was an
engineer - with Gulf War experience of missiles and aircraft breaking
the sound barrier - who described it as "definitely a major explosive
concussion-wave blast [not a sonic boom], similar to, but much bigger
than, a normal open-pit mine blast".
A large, deep-red-orange-coloured hemisphere of opaque
light, with a silver outer-shell lining, then rose from
ground level to hover around over the "ground zero location". This
structure, when fully developed, was approximately three times the
size of a typical Goldfields setting Moon, as seen by observers
located 30 to 50 km away (in other words, it was very big), and it
"bobbed around a bit for nearly two hours before disappearing
suddenly - as if someone threw the light switch off".
This "half-soup-plate structure", looking like a
"deep-red, very large and half-set Sun", was seen by two observers
from widely separated locations, one at the Banjawarn
station buildings and one at the Deleta station buildings. Dogs at
both locations went totally berserk, whining and howling and
attempting to get off their leads whilst the aerial light hemisphere
was up. Presumably there was an ultrasonic or EM wave propagation to
which the dogs were extremely sensitive.
Aboriginal prospectors who were camped very near to
ground zero at the Freeman's Find gold prospect were extremely
spooked by the event, believing that it was "the end of the
world". Some of them thought that they had witnessed a "jumbo jet"
crash behind a range of low hills. They gathered their swags (bed
rolls) close together as they were too scared to sleep apart. In the
morning they climbed a hill to look for fires in the distance but
could see no smoke. They quickly departed the area for the safety of
Leonora.
One Aboriginal stockman observer, located at the
Banjawarn station buildings, believed that he was witnessing a fairly
slow-moving "UFO" and became very worried that they were
going to land and abduct him and his two companions - since
it flew directly at him and then passed, very noisily, low
overhead before going into its final downwards-arcing plunge.
Almost exactly one hour after the first big event, three
observers located at the Banjawarn station buildings saw a
second, much smaller fireball which they described as being
more of a blue-green-white colour. It appeared to rise from
ground level, but definitely rose from behind distant trees
well south of the station perimeter, and then flew to the north in a
high mortar-shell-type arc before coming down to ground level behind
distant bush. Its flight path was divergent to the north-northeast
when compared to that of the first major fireball event of that night.
This later event then created a second but very small
explosion and concomitant minor ground shake, similar to
the first event but much smaller in size and with no resultant rising
hemisphere of opaque light. A prospector located north of the Mulga
Queen Aboriginal settlement also reported seeing parts of this second
event.
This second event does not appear to have been of
sufficient enough magnitude to register on AGSO seismographs. However,
analysis of the best AGSO seismic records by USGS (US Geological
Survey) energy conversion equations suggests that the energy involved
in the first main event quake was probably of the order of one to two
kilotonnes of TNT equivalent. The blast itself was probably bigger, as
not all such explosive energy is transmitted efficiently into the
ground and along the Earth wave path to the seismic observatories.
The main fireball eyewitness "explosion ground zero" was
located near to the northern edge of Banjawarn station,
whereas the calculated AGSO quake epicentre fix was close to the
southern perimeter of Banjawarn station, the difference reflecting the
difficulties involved in calculating accurate quake epicentres from
remote seismographic locations.
In spite of the excellent eyewitness "ground zero
impact" cross-fixes, a considerable time in the air in a Cessna-172
failed to find any crater or ground anomaly of any kind there or
anywhere else in a 300-km-diameter search area.
Ground and air examination of the nearby Celia fault lineament
produced no evidence of any movement on this structure.
Banjawarn is arguably the most isolated station area in
the Eastern Goldfields region of WA. This sheep station has gained
notoriety since its purchase the same year (1993) by
the Japanese Aum Supreme Truth (Aum Shinrikyo) sect - of 1995 Tokyo
subway gas-attack fame. Research soon showed that a Japanese Aum
Supreme Truth sect representative - deputy leader Hayakawa - had been
inspecting sheep stations for sale, around and including Banjawarn, in
early April 1993.
Hayakawa initiated purchase procedure for Banjawarn in
late April 1993, desiring to "conduct experiments there for the
benefit of mankind". The station actually changed hands
when papers were signed and a bank cheque was provided on 1
June 1993 - only three days after the fireball event. However, the
agreement regarding the sale to the Aum sect was completed on 23 April
1993 - some 35 days prior to the fireball event.
As the 28 May 1993 event did not appear to fit any
normal meteor impact scenario, we began to joke that the Aum sect
had probably sent a cruise missile with a pulse jet engine
and detonated a nuclear weapon on the uninhabited desert fringe
immediately north of Banjawarn station...
Meteors usually travel at hypervelocities, greater than
25,000 mph, and do not normally fly low-speed,
"nap-of-the-Earth", low-level (1,000-to-2,000-metre-altitude)
trajectories. They usually have long, luminous tails and drop-off
fragments, and are not documented as triggering earthquakes.
Pressure changes due to storms (or, possibly, pressure
waves created by a meteor flypast) are known to trigger
quakes in stressed-plate regions of the crust, but this region can
hardly be assigned a high-stress fault signature, given the total lack
of such quake events in human memory. It is a very stable Archaean Age
cratonic shield area, with the nearest location demonstrating quake
activity being located in the Fraser Ranges, some 500 to 600 km to the
south, east of Norseman.
In response to recent ABC radio interviews given by the
author, three truckies reported seeing yet another fireball
soon after starting work at 5.00 am one day (exact date unknown) in
May or June of 1993. Their "Moon-sized" fireball flew from south to
north at low level (some 1,000 metres) with a high-speed jet-plane
velocity. It was yellow-orange-red in colour and had a very small
blue-white tail. It lit up the early morning dark sky in an intense
blue-white light flash that silhouetted the countryside as it headed
immediately west of Laverton directly for Banjawarn station. As the
truckies were sitting next to
loud diesel engines of their own, they do not know if this
third Banjawarn fireball made any pulsed, roaring noise.
This third fireball held a course that would not only
pass over Banjawarn but might ultimately have reached the
Exmouth Peninsula in far northwest WA.
Now, for three fireballs to be heading towards Banjawarn
is just too much of a coincidence for a meteor-type event. Meteors of
this size are very rare events, let alone three
heading around May-June 1993 into one small space on the Earth's
surface at Banjawarn. If we assume that fireball no. 3 was seen at
5.00 am on 29 May 1993 - and thus followed fireball no. 1 by six
hours, as in, say, a south-to-north-travelling chain of bolides
(rather like the recent Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts on Jupiter) -
we have a problem with the meteor theory, for in that six-hour period
the Earth would have rotated 90 degrees about its
north-south axis and fireball no. 3 should have come in over East
Africa!
OTHER FIREBALL EVENTS IN AUSTRALIA AND NZ
Since the May 1993 event, there have been many other
reports (in excess of 1,000 and often of multiple events)
concerning aerial fireballs and associated light-energy emissions.
They involve exotic, spherical fireballs making
diesel freight-train noises (although there are some noiseless
variants), flying long trajectories over different parts of Australia.
Isolated but similar reports have also originated recently from New
Zealand.
These fireballs have been observed in all our Australian
states (as late as 4 February 1997), and in many cases have exhibited
variations on and combinations of the following
actions: very-low-altitude; nap-of-Earth trajectories;
small-to-nonexistent tails; no fragment drop-off; apparent
velocity often very slow and commonly less than that of sound; no
associated sonic booms; considerable and sudden changes in course, as
well as speeding up, stopping dead, reversing course and flying
vertically upwards into space; creation of intense vibration of ground
and housing during flypast; explosion in massive blue-white arcing
light displays with major explosive sound events or silent, intense
light-flashes; regular creation of power generation overvoltage
outages and other electrical effects.
The Banjawarn case demonstrates a cause-effect
relationship with a 3.9 Richter-scale earthquake, and other fireballs
have possibly been related on at least two occasions to 3.0 to 4.0
Richter-scale earthquakes in eastern Australia.
If meteors are the source of these observations, then
lately we appear to be continually encountering a very odd
species of meteor that exhibits a previously undocumented,
very exotic behaviour and a very high statistical rate of
arrival in Australia, apparently (until recently, i.e.,
1996) largely ignoring the rest of the world.
Other possible causes such as natural-gas fireballs,
min-min lights and earthquake stress lights may be easily discounted
by many aspects of these multiple fireball
events - but not least because of their usually very-low-energy output
when compared to the very large energies involved in these recent
Banjawarn fireball incidents.
However, possible scenarios such as off-planet alien
UFOs, or Earthbound powers testing new exotic power-plant,
military spacecraft and/or EM weapons systems, cannot be so
easily discounted.
THE PERTH FIREBALL EVENT
Probably the most spectacular of these fireball events
was that which occurred at approx. 2.00 am on 1 May 1995 above Perth,
WA. At that time, a large spherical orange-red
fireball with a small conical blue-white tail was observed
as it flew from the Indian Ocean over Bunbury, in southwestern WA, in
a north-northeasterly direction at a relatively high altitude,
apparently with a trajectory that was parallel to the Earth's
curvature. The altitude of this fireball is open to question as many
observers thought that it was not very high in the sky, but newspaper
reports later placed it at several kilometres in altitude.
The fireball soon arrived above the eastern side of the
City of Perth (population >1 million) and was seen and
heard by many eyewitnesses over its 150-kilometre land-flight
trajectory. Observers reported that the "object" emitted a loud,
roaring, pulsed noise - similar to a diesel freight train - before it
arrived, and that it flew at a steady velocity similar to a high-speed
jet aircraft. There was no report of a sonic boom.
Whilst moving over the eastern part of Perth, near
Midland, the fireball reportedly stopped dead in the sky and the
tail inverted through the fireball to point towards the previous
direction of travel! Then there was an enormous burst of blue-white
arcing light-energy that briefly lit up the city and its suburbs as
clear as daylight for many kilometres. In many ways the event was
similar in force level to a nuclear blast. A loud, vibrating, massive
explosion-cum-seismic wave reverberated around Perth, causing the city
buildings to shake and books and objects to fall off shelves.
Several observers reported that, at the instant of the
explosion, four white lights raced apart from the centre of
the main "object" and formed a right-angled white cross in the sky. No
actual object was seen at any time - just a bright orange-red fireball
of light emission and its very small blue-white-light conical tail.
One observer reportedly told the Perth Astronomical
Observatory of seeing sparks drop off the fireball during its flight
and that it had a long tail or streak of orange colour. All other
police and public eyewitnesses reported that the fireball had no tail
(or, at best, a rudimentary, very short tail) and that they definitely
saw no sparks. They noted that it was spherical or cylindrical in
form, as defined by light-energy emission.
About half the city's population, some 500,000 people
were estimated to have been woken up by the violence of this
explosive, seismic-wave event. The ground vibration wave
was picked up by the AGSO Mundaring Seismic Observatory as
a paper analogue recording lasting some two minutes, timed
at 17.57 UTC, i.e., commencing at 1.57 am WA time.
This event raised some discussion in the WA press over
the next few weeks and was generally explained in the media by the
Perth Astronomical Observatory as the explosion of a
meteor fireball with a power of one or more megatonnes of
TNT equivalent, at an altitude of several kilometres. Surprisingly,
this event was apparently not widely reported
in the world press. One would think that something with a
force level equivalent to a large hydrogen bomb detonating
above a city like Perth would be worthy of great discussion. Obviously
it was not loud enough to wake Canberra...
Reports soon came in of small lights and strange aerial
noises that had moved to the north-northeast of Perth
towards the small town of Toodyay and beyond, on the night
in question. Amateur meteor astronomers spent a considerable amount of
time interviewing farmers out that way but no meteor fragments have
been recovered to date (December 1996).
Later reports noted that on the same night, some 1,900
km to the north-northeast of Perth, a couple situated on
Sunday Island, near One Arm Point north of Broome in the
Kimberley region of WA, were woken some time around 3.00 am
by a loud, roaring, pulsed diesel-engine noise, "similar to
a D9 bulldozer or tank engine", advancing directly towards
their front door. This noise rose to a crescendo and books
and objects fell from their shelves. The seismic
ground-vibration wave and sound event lasted for one to two
minutes.
Believing they had experienced an earthquake, the family
listened to the early morning ABC radio, but the only story was of the
explosive meteor fireball event above Perth. A
check of the Mundaring seismic records has shown that no
earthquakes of any magnitude at all occurred at Sunday Island or
anywhere else in their region that night.
One possible interpretation of these events is that a
meteor fireball exploded on contact with the Earth's denser
atmosphere high above the east of Perth and that small fragments,
including a very large fragment, flew north-northeast over Toodyay,
eventually to be heard flying low over Sunday Island in the Kimberley
region.
This meteor interpretation ignores the fact of the
fireball's slow speed, reportedly similar to that of a jet
plane. Due to its roaring sound being heard before it
arrived, the fireball apparently travelled at less than the
speed of sound at some 750 mph. Most meteors are generally
hypervelocity objects flying at many thousands of miles per
hour, often greater than 25,000 mph.
The meteor hypothesis also ignores the strange
aerodynamics of an "object" that reportedly stopped dead in the sky,
whilst the very small luminous tail inverted through the
spherical fireball. Moreover, it ignores the lack of recovered
fragments from so great an explosive event, and the accumulated
evidence from many other similar fireball events that have occurred
throughout Australia in recent years.
Observations of the fireball's flight, or effects
associated with the event, cover some 2,000 km in strike across WA and
thus allow a reasonably reliable attempt at reconstruction on a globe
from a planetary perspective. The trajectory starts somewhere to the
south-southwest of Perth - possibly in the Indian Ocean or in
Antarctica - and projects north-northeast towards the northeastern
coast of Japan and across the centre of the Siberian Kamchatka
Peninsula. If continued, the trajectory would cross over northern
Alaska and over Arctic Canada to emerge into the Atlantic somewhere
near Nova Scotia.
It is interesting that the projected trajectory skims
Antarctica along its coast near Enderby Land. At this
location is a complex of three research bases: the Japanese
bases of Syowa (approx. 40° East) and Mizuho (approx. 45°
East and inland), and the former USSR base of Molodezhnaya
(approx. 45° East on the coast). Further northwest, the former USSR
base of Novolazarevskaya (approx. 15° East on the coast) also lies
approximately upon the projected trajectory. The former USSR also has
bases ringing the coast of Antarctica at the following approximate
locations: 92°E (Queen Mary Land), 105°E (Vostok, inland near the
South Magnetic Pole), 163°E (Oates Land), and 224°E/44°W) (opposite
the Rockefeller Plateau). These bases effectively give a good
arc-coverage of the entire globe from the radio transmission
viewpoint.
The Kamchatka Peninsula in Siberia was the site of the
infamous KAL 007 incident. Recent research by David Pearson, published
in his book, KAL 007: The Cover-up, concerning this 747 jumbo-jet
shoot-down by the Soviets, suggests that KAL 007 was attempting to
gain intelligence on a very large transmitter site located in the
central part of the peninsula.
It has been suggested by Japanese journalists
(Archipelago magazine) as well as American scientific researcher Tom
Bearden that this Kamchatka transmitter is one of a series
of former Soviet EM weapons complexes.
Such weapons are believed to have the ability to
transmit explosive and other effects, such as earthquake induction,
across inter-continental distances to any selected target site on the
globe, with force levels equivalent to major
nuclear explosions.
Evidence for the existence of such exotic weapons is
given in part in a "Voice of Russia" radio broadcast on their
Science and Engineering program of 23 December 1996, where they
discussed modern Russian electromagnetic weapons of the microwave
plasma variety. The following is a part-transcript of that program,
featuring the interviewer Yekimenko and the science authority Boris
Belitsky:
Yekimenko: How would a microwave generator be used 'in
anger', Boris?
Belitsky: It would be used to fire a plasmoid - that is,
a blob of plasma - into the path of an incoming missile, its warhead
or an aircraft. The plasmoid would effectively
ionise that region of space and, in this way, disturb the
aerodynamics of the flight of the missile, warhead or aircraft and
terminate its flight. This makes such a generator and its plasmoid a
practically invulnerable weapon, providing protection against attack
via space or the atmosphere.
Yekimenko: Boris, I hate to ask this question, but
still... The generals and scientists who speak of this weapon - they
couldn't be bluffing, could they?
Belitsky: Oh, no. This is evident if only from the fact
that a few years ago, in 1993, at the Russian-American
summit in Vancouver, the Russians proposed a joint experiment in
testing such generators - or plasma weapons, as they are called here -
as an alternative to the Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI. In such an
experiment, which was proposed to be code-named Trust, the system
would be used to repulse a missile attack. In this way, Russia hoped
to strengthen the new climate of post-Cold War security in the world.
These comments of course emphasise that many observed
"objects" in the night sky may in fact have no mass
associated with them at all, and are actually holograms of light being
given off by slugs of dense EM energy, these being held in place by
three or more transmitters' Tesla wave outputs manipulating plasmoid
blobs in 3D space.
SILENT FIREBALLS
Another fairly typical (but silent) fireball event
occurred in October 1994 at the iron ore mining town of Tom Price in
the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
One night in mid-October 1994 a family was having a
patio barbecue at about 8.30 pm. They saw a very large
red-orange-coloured ball of fire moving at very low altitude directly
towards them at a steady, slow, light-aircraft speed (100 mph?) at an
altitude of 200 to 300 metres. It was bigger than the Moon in apparent
size.
They rang the local police to alert them to a possible
aircraft on fire. The two policemen raced outside to watch. By now,
half the town (population of some 4,000) was
outside watching the fireball. From front-on it appeared to
be a fiery orange-red-yellow colour; from the side it appeared to be
yellow-white and pulsing up and down in light intensity (as captured
on video).
Our original barbecue observers, by now some 200 metres
directly below the "object", reported that it was an
intense ball of orange-red fire or plasma with the fire swirling in a
spiral pattern and the flames disappearing internally upwards into "a
central black hole" or void within the spherical mass of flames. The
fireball had no tail and made no noise at all, and there was no ground
seismic/noise wave as experienced in many other recent Australian
fireball events. It was described as a sort of "implosion ball of
flames", with all the fire or flames
originating in local space outside the fiery, spherical form, and then
being sucked into the centre where they disappeared - "like a moving
plasma ball in a local space-time warp around a central black hole".
"Never ever seen anything like it before, therefore difficult to
describe accurately." (Really aware people, these outback mining
families!)
The observers said that the fireball took about five to
seven minutes to cover the distance from a line of hills
west of Tom Price to a line of hills to their east. At this
point it flashed a bright blue-white colour that lit up the
area; then it took off at very high speed, moving very quickly to the
east and disappearing almost instantly. Other observers simply
believed that it just disappeared with the intense, bright blue-white
light-energy emission flash/explosion, but with no explosive noise.
The observers turned around to look back to the west.
Immediately, a second fireball appeared in the west,
following the path of the first. It flew slightly lower, but at the
same slow light-aircraft speed (i.e., about 100 mph) and, similarly,
at constant altitude. Again it flew directly over the barbecue
observers and was identical in all respects to the first fireball.
Likewise, it moved at very high velocity to the east and disappeared
in a massive blue-white flash of light-energy.
This was followed by a third fireball that was exactly
the same size and travelled exactly the same low-level altitude
(nearly in the treetops), exactly the same slow
flight-speed, exactly the same course, and again disappeared at high
speed to the east in exactly the same kind of light flash.
The time between the appearance of each separate
fireball "pulse" was almost identical. Observers reported that after
the first one had disappeared to the east, they swung
around to look west, only to find that another fireball had
arrived; and after that second one disappeared, they turned
again to the west to see that a third fireball had arrived
straight away - just like clockwork!
There remains a difference of opinion between observers
as to exactly how many fireballs were seen in sequence that night. All
observers agree that two fireballs were seen,
but several claim that three were actually seen, but that
strange time-space-mind distortion effects were in operation
(emanating from the fireballs) such that confusion reigned
immediately, during and after the sightings, leading to disagreement
and argument over the exact number of discrete fireball events.
This entire sequence of events (or parts thereof) was
seen by many of the inhabitants of Tom Price, i.e., possibly
well over 2,000 people. Many eyewitnesses attempted to take
photographs, but when they got their developed film rolls back from
Perth they discovered their photos showed good family snaps and only
white blanks where the fireballs had been! The films were developed by
friends and were not tampered with, suggesting that X-ray or similar
EM radiation from the fireball may have fogged the film.
One videocamera tape recording was made, but later
accidental over-recording meant that only two minutes of this incident
remained - taped as a pulsing light or fireball, as seen from well
south of the fireball track. This videotape has since been
appropriated by a UFO researcher in New South Wales and has never
since seen the light of day.
All residents were shocked by what they had observed,
eventually believing that someone deliberately wanted them to see
these fireballs as some sort of test over an
isolated outback town. They confirm that the object appeared to have
no solid mass when seen close up, but from a distance many thought
they were seeing an aircraft on fire - but the second and third
fireballs disabused them of this idea. No one could align their
sighting with anything within their experiential memory. Some thought
that "it was like the end of the world" - that same expression yet
again!
The two policemen were taken the next day to a point
halfway to the Paraburdoo townsite (residents there also
saw the fireballs to their north that night), located some
50 km south of Tom Price. The policemen were briefed by "officials" on
what had occurred and thereafter refused to discuss the evening's
events with their friends in Tom Price.
Being a small town with few inhabitants, and pretty
lonely if the other residents cold-shoulder you, one policeman
later admitted that he would like to say what it was all about but had
been ordered to keep his mouth shut and it was more than his job and
life were worth to say more.
The residents of Tom Price discussed these events for
days, but attempts to go public on Perth TV were met with
ridicule and loony epithets.
They noticed that the fireballs had flown from the
direction of the Exmouth Peninsula "US radio communications
base" and knew that, in spite of recent newspaper publicity
claiming that "this base has been deserted by the USA and handed over
to the Australian government", there were still many Americans to be
seen in the town of Exmouth who continued to live and work at the base
(as is the case even now, in early 1997). Many suspect that there is a
secret underground part to this base which contains peculiar, large
aerial systems at ground level.
It was later discovered that the Dampier power station,
further northeast, went off line at the time of the Tom
Price fireballs due to a huge overvoltage pulse on the
transmission lines.
Residents of this district have commonly seen or even
been followed by bright white lights whilst traversing roads at night
near the coast and adjacent to the Exmouth base area.
They report that these lights move at low or high speed, at
low or high altitude and commonly alter their courses.
Very bright white glows have been observed at night
emanating from uninhabited bushland just to the east of Tom
Price. Fireballs have been reported on several occasions in
the period 1973 to 1994 as flying from Exmouth towards the
east and the Great Sandy Desert.
SECRET WEAPONS TESTING AND OTHER SCENARIOS
In this Tom Price instance we appear to have a possible
direct link to US bases. Thus it is feasible that
high-powered EM weapons systems are being tested by the USA
- or some other foreign government - on Australian soil, or
that off-planet alien UFO interest in the Exmouth US base is being
demonstrated in these sightings.
Regular passage of three such slow-speed fireballs,
ultimately increasing rapidly to very high speed, occurring
at exactly equally- timed intervals, along the same
very-low-altitude trajectory and course, cannot involve any
normal meteor or bolide-train event. These fireball events
do not appear to represent any known natural phenomenon, and certainly
appear to fit the alien UFO, secret military spaceplane-testing or EM
weapons-testing scenarios.
Eyewitness information about the interior of the Exmouth
Peninsula "US VLF submarine communication base" proves to
be extremely interesting. The main transmitter (Tx) site consists of
one very high central aerial called "Tower Zero" positioned upon a low
hilltop and surrounded by 11 equispaced smaller towers (each about
1,000 feet high). Each tower is connected by aerial wire forming a
series of three concentric circular loops (in excess of 2.5 km
diameter). Tower Zero is encased in wood/asbestos sheeting to form a
very high, enclosed oblong box, and has a two-man elevator running up
the inside of the tower. The top inner aerial shape is surrounded by a
larger enclosed box.
The aerial array utilises enormous quantities of copper
tube and wire "ground counterpoise" arrays buried in the
ground under the entire complex.
Access into the hillside tunnel opening takes one into a
large (at least three-storey) underground section at the
base of Tower Zero. Here is something like the innards of a
giant "transistor radio" with a huge heavy-duty copper-wire
coil some 50 feet high and 15 feet in diameter - all supported on
hardwood (Jarrah) frames fixed with wooden (Jarrah) nuts and bolts!
Sections are lined with stainless-steel sheeting. There may be further
and deeper sections under the copper coil which were not seen by this
eyewitness.
There is a large power station at the site, possibly
running on gas from boreholes into a large natural-gas
reservoir nearby.
Although officially recently handed over by the US Navy
to Australian Navy control, the base still has many US
"consultants" who live in the nearby town of Exmouth. The
Jarrah fittings and copper coil in Tower Zero were
installed in 1968, after the main building contractor teams
had left the facility.
Supposedly this Exmouth Tx site is transmitting VLF or
ELF radio messages to submarines. However, this eyewitness
description of the underground wooden frame and giant coil is a dead
giveaway. It perfectly describes major elements of Tesla's
Wardenclyffe, Long Island, Magnifying Energy Transmitter - and his
earlier Colorado Springs research versions. The wooden construction is
required to handle very high voltages and very high frequencies
(possibly as high as microwave-band frequencies) by containing the
induced coil electrostatic wave from discharge. It is not needed to
handle very low frequencies (VLF) or extremely low frequencies (ELF).
Tesla claimed in 1908 that he could hit any antipodean
planetary city with an enormous EM energy pulse, delivered in
microseconds, that would "create an explosion equivalent to more than
the power of the extant world navies' combined 'Dreadnought'
battleship broadsides" (i.e., a huge force
similar to that of a nuclear explosion) from just such a device.
Therefore, it would appear that the Exmouth US Tx site
contains "Tesla" or "scalar" EM weapons systems and has
been active since about 1969, i.e., in time to conduct the
1970 and earlier tests for which we see evidence, due east
of there in the Great Sandy Desert, as many grid rows of
10-km-spaced earthquakes, looking like a chessboard - each
of 3 to 5 Richter power.
EARTHQUAKES TO ORDER
In 1965, this section of the Great Sandy Desert area was
(uniquely for Australia) covered by high-altitude U2 aerial
photography, paid for by the US Government. Why?
In 1966, the French oil company Aquitaine Oil (now
called ELF Aquitaine) took out a large oil exploration permit in
this most isolated and difficult-to-access area of Australia. Canberra
even paid half the exploration costs to help explore the hinterland.
No other company known to me ever got this type of deal - especially
to explore an area of poor conceptual potential in a poor geological
environment when many easier-access and far better geological
environments with excellent conceptual potential existed elsewhere in
Australia and were open for
acquisition and exploration.
Aquitaine commenced exploration in 1967 and carried out
aeromagnetic, ground gravity, seismic traverse, and ground
VLF/ELF EM studies. (These EM techniques were quite rare and odd
exploration techniques to be used in oil exploration.)
In 1968-69, Australian Army MPs with 4WD Jeeps were
airlifted into the Great Sandy Desert to round up a couple of hundred
nomadic Aboriginal tribespeople and ship them out to Broome. This
region was declared "off limits to the public", and all access tracks
into the desert were guarded by Military Police. The published reason
for this was the danger from a series of test launches from Woomera in
South Australia, over the Great Sandy Desert and Broome, of the
British Blue Streak missiles, and of the European four-stage space
rocket satellite-launching system. (They even got this one into orbit
eventually in early 1970 and 1971.) Thereafter, the British missile
program and the European space effort were rather mysteriously and
suddenly closed down.
In 1970 Aquitaine did no field work. In late March 1970,
a series of concentrated 3.0 to 5.0 Richter-scale earthquakes
commenced in the eastern Great Sandy Desert. (Note: no earthquakes
have ever been known there since seismometers
were installed in WA in 1900; also, there is no Aboriginal
racial memory of quakes in this region.)
These quakes stopped in early October 1970, only to
recommence the following year. Isolated quakes have continued every
year since 1970. The late March to early October period is the only
viable field period in this region - due to the extreme temperatures
of 50+ degrees Centigrade in the months of November to February.
In 1972-73, Aquitaine drilled two stratigraphic holes
(both dry) and walked away from the permit. Their annual
exploration work reports (1966-1973) should be on 'open file' at the
WA Mines Department library in Perth; however, they are listed as
confidential. No copies exist in Perth as they are held under lock and
key in Canberra at the AGSO (ex-BMR) offices. This situation is unique
in all my WA exploration experience.
In 1973 the BMR (Bureau of Mineral Resources) published
a report about the strange explosion of new earthquakes in the eastern
Great Sandy Desert. This report contained incorrect quake epicentre
maps - apparently biased not to show the strange, regular positioning
of these quakes along a 10-square-kilometre-spaced grid over an 80 km
by 70 km area, with a central two-kilometre- spaced series of quakes
along two lines forming an apparently central 'aiming point' cross.
The 1996 AGSO Mundaring Observatory epicentre data
demonstrates this regular quake epicentre pattern very well. The
accuracy of epicentre determination is thought to be +/-10 km. Other
Australian areas of dense quake distribution show chaotic elliptical
area spreads clustered statistically around central points - not
regular grid lines of quakes marching through the desert. These quakes
are not due to seismic explosives - unless they used several
kilotonnes at each shot hole!
The Great Sandy Desert earthquakes are distributed
almost exactly due east of the Exmouth VLF Tx site and,
intriguingly, are also located upon a Magnetic North Pole great circle
route from Exmouth's sister transmitter complex located at Cutler,
Maine, on the northeastern seaboard of the USA near the Canadian
border.
Thus, if the several sightings concerning fireballs
emanating from Exmouth (reported during the period 1973 to
1994) to the east towards the Great Sandy Desert are taken
into account, it would appear that this area of Australia
has been utilised for the testing and eventual deployment
of a diabolical EM weapons system of prodigious power.
Slugs of EM energy could have been fired from Exmouth
and steered or explosively initiated from Cutler, and/or other US
global transmitter sites onto the target test range
within the Great Sandy Desert to initiate major earthquakes
in a region previously and totally devoid of same.
On a globe one can see that the great circle geographic
polar route north from Exmouth passes through the following locations:
Hong Kong; Thule (US air base in Greenland);
Cutler, Maine (known VLF Tx); Arecibo, Puerto Rico (known VLF Tx);
Tucumán, Argentina (known VLF Tx); Palmer and Amundsen-Scott US
Antarctic bases; back to Exmouth Tx in NW Australia. Such a series of
Tx sites would allow good coverage of the entire planet.
Interestingly, the Puerto Rico site is a near exact
antipodean site for Exmouth, and both sites are areas where UFO
sightings are common - especially Arecibo, where I suspect the
sightings are mainly atmospheric Tesla light-energy-emission 'UFOs'
from the testing and operation of both Tx EM weapon sites.
There are many fascinating coincidences in this
research. Take for instance the case of Harold E. Holt, Prime
Minister of Australia from 26 January 1966 to 19 December 1967. He
disappeared whilst swimming one Sunday - apparently after reporting to
family and close colleagues over the preceding days that he had
discovered something about the USA, its activities here and its future
intentions, that deeply offended and worried him. Intending to raise
these issues in Cabinet and then Parliament on the following Monday,
he was never seen again.
Rumours of CIA assassination, shark attack or removal by
Chinese submarine have continually surfaced over the years. Recent
stories even suggest that Holt is alive and well in
China...
The Exmouth Peninsula communications base is now called
the "Harold E. Holt Naval Communication Station". One would think that
the Australian Federal Police or ASIO/ASIS could
have solved the disappearance and/or possible murder of an
Australian Prime Minister in some 30 years. One does not have to look
too far for a connection and possible line of enquiry.
Then there is the case of the two young cattle-station
hands who died under very mysterious circumstances a few years ago in
the Great Sandy Desert - on the very seismic
grid-lines put in by Aquitaine Oil, and within the very
area of the Great Sandy Desert "earthquake test range"...
It would appear to be high time for Australians to do
something about this state of affairs - since we actually
host a weapons system that has led clandestinely to the deaths not
only of Australians but quite probably of tens of thousands of fellow
humans in many countries across the globe.
But all of that - the science of earthquake-inducing EM
weapons systems and their recent deployment and use on planet Earth by
Russian, Japanese and American forces - must wait until the next
article in this series.

his time and expertise to researching
mysterious Australian outback phenomena of natural and
man-made origins.
Strange light-events have been reported over many remote
parts of Australia in recent times. With the meteor theory ruled out,
could these energy bursts and beams be part of some classified
Tesla-style weapons program?
RECENT EXOTIC AUSTRALIAN LIGHT-ENERGY EVENTS
Whilst researching the 1993 Banjawarn
fireball-explosion-earthquake incident, I became aware of an entirely
different spectrum of bizarre, non-fireball-related light phenomena
events reportedly being observed in our skies by very reliable Western
Australian bush observers (such as those who described the fireballs
over the town of Tom Price). In common with the fireball events, these
events were rarely, if ever, being reported in the press and do not
appear to have been
commented upon by our scientific community. These events vary in
style, but nearly all involve essentially static atmospheric light-
emission events that have apparently never been reported or observed
before the 1980s, have been reported rarely post-1985, but now have an
increasing event periodicity in post-1993 years.
One such event type commonly reported consists of
massive high-energy five-to-ten-second bursts of blue-white light
seen in the night-time skies of the upper atmosphere. Such events have
been reported in WA by many observers including meteor experts and
amateur astronomers who are categorically certain that these are not
transient light bursts due to single meteors or multiple meteor
showers.
Normally, no massive object or moving light source is
seen in association with these events. However, the massive
blue-white light energy emissions are at times quite similar in power
output to those very bright, blue-white light flash events often
reported occurring in conjunction with fireballs and their
'explosion'.
Similar events involving massive blue-white light burst
emissions have also been reported as occurring at ground
level. For example, one October 1994 incident that was seen
from Minara station (50 kilometres east of Leonora in the Eastern
Goldfields of WA) possibly involved a night-time UFO landing and small
beings with torches combing around the station buildings. The exotic,
brilliant blue-white flare was observed at ground level as the alleged
alien spacecraft accelerated off the nearby Minara airstrip. The light
from this flash lit up the entirely dark station buildings in a
brilliant and "beautiful" blue-grey glow silhouette.
Another 1996 night-time incident was observed near Rocky
Gully in the south-west of WA and was described as a very
scary event where massive blue-white streamers of arcing
electricity issued from the forest floor into the atmosphere, creating
an intense, violent, blue-white glow (and an attendant "electrical
noise") that was visible for miles-"like someone with a giant arc
welder". This event persisted for at least several minutes. The
observers fled the area in fear for their lives, phased out by the
apparently enormous energy involved in the event.
These massive energy bursts of high-altitude, blue-white
light and/or ground-level electrical arcs are reasonably common and I
have about 100 such documented events in the WA database. Publicity
from my first NEXUS article has
resulted in three similar events-one of them from eastern
Victoria-being reported to me. I am unaware of any such similar events
being reported historically in the literature anywhere on planet
Earth-except as referred to below in connection with circa-1900
high-frequency, high-voltage EM wave experiments by Nikola Tesla.
Other exotic events involve post-1993 night-time and
daytime observations of golden-orange or silver-blue-white
beams or cylinders of energy propagating vertically downward from high
altitude and hitting the Earth's surface-with no noise or surface
damage and no thunderstorm activity reported-usually in isolated
outback areas.
Another style of light-energy emission event being
observed involves orange-red- coloured forms hanging statically in the
night sky. Commonly pencil-beam-shaped (vertical or at
45 degrees), but including rare spherical forms, this style of event
has been reported since about 1985, with an apparent increase since
about 1990 but with many more sightings reported since 1993. Some 100
such events have been reported.
Luckily, in this case, an alert amateur meteor
astronomer, experienced in night-time astrophotography, has captured
one such case on film. John Goldsmith photographed this
beam from his home in Bedfordale (east of Fremantle in the Darling
Ranges) at about 9.50 pm on 24 May 1990. John's photographs are shown
on the following pages.
I took a compass reading (at the spot indicated by John
Goldsmith near his telescope observing platform) across the
trees as visible in photos 2-4. The bearing was about 262-263 degrees
magnetic (local deviation is a degree or less as is the compass and
reconstruction accuracy). The beam bearing is on a direct line to the
"prohibited" area of the Fremantle Garden Island Naval Base.
This "island", or promontory, is riddled with
underground installations from World War II when it was used as a
submarine base by the US Navy/British Royal Navy/Royal Australian
Navy. The southern end of Garden Island is occupied by HMAS
Stirling-our current submarine base-where most of the Australian
Collins Class subs are to be based. Naval yards are also present under
the beam bearing on the mainland.
Although we cannot deduce the exact range of the beam,
it has to be fairly close to the observer as it is in front of the
clouds and lights up some of them. It is therefore a
good bet that this beam was hanging above, or very close to, the
Garden Island naval facility.
John Goldsmith had come out of his house that night to
do some astronomical telescope work. He saw the orange beam
hanging vertically in the sky and raced back inside for his
camera. Being used to capturing transient meteorite events,
he knew exactly how to set up the photo. He used 400 ASA
film on settings of 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds and
120 seconds for photos 1 to 4 respectively.
John stated that the beam lit up some clouds and was not
as bright as the images captured on film-probably due to light capture
in the exposure time, or perhaps his recall of the
intensity is a bit out. The beam did not appear to move around or
change much over the five to six minutes that it was in view, but John
was concentrating hard on the camera.
A video reconstruction utilising his four photos, each
registered on the same bright stars, demonstrates that,
indeed, the beam location is entirely static over the duration of the
event. Finally, after about five to six minutes, the beam just faded
away to nothing. There was no sound event.
The stars are seen to move over the exposure time, and
possibly the centre of orange light intensity changes a
bit, downwards along the beam. The overall beam light energy varies up
and down in intensity from photo to photo-possibly due to the varying
film exposure times or variations in the beam's actual light-emission
intensity.
On the original colour photos one can see beside the
orange beam a band of weaker red lines, then blue lines, then an even
weaker band of red lines, and then blue lines again,
as follows (to the left of the major beam): O RRR BBB rrr bbb, and so
on. Note that similar spectra also exist to the right side of the
beam. The spectral lines are distributed either side of the major
orange beam across a considerable width of sky-at least twice the
length of the visible beam length and possibly more. These photos also
suggest that a 'ghost' basal tail of the central major beam goes much
lower, possibly to ground level.
The photos were taken in the dark at about 9.50 pm
(sunset here in WA on 24 May 1990 was at about 5.30 pm). Note that the
near-vertical white line on the left hand side of image
no. 2 is an original film glitch and not an event of the time.
It was originally suggested that this beam was an effect
created by a ground-based laser, but checks by atmospheric
scientists who employ such devices in Australia and the USA
have completely discounted such a theory. One major problem is that
the light-form appears well up in the atmosphere and is not connected
to any ground-based laser. Another problem is the large width of the
beam when compared to normal pencil-thick laser probes which are
normally only visible within two kilometres of the beam. In addition,
there are harmonic spectral lines visible across the image.
Another suggestion was that the beam is a searchlight,
yet it cannot be a normal searchlight as it appears at high altitude
with no connection from ground level. It also has no conical section
diverging upwards, and it has exotic
parallel harmonic spectral lines.
In 1991 a Japanese astronomy magazine published an
article with a very poor black/white version of the photo,
suggesting the main beam was caused by refraction of ships' lights by
a horizontal layer of different density air. If so, why has this
effect not been previously documented anywhere over the world's
oceans?
I now have many eyewitness accounts of such vertical
orange beams seen at night over land over the past two years here in
WA. These land locations are generally uninhabited and have no light
sources (such as searchlights, etc.) for
refraction by air layers as suggested by the Japanese magazine.
One 1996 Brisbane beam event report was very significant
as the observers saw very-high-voltage, blue-white discharge streamers
issuing from their house wall-mounted mains power box as an orange
beam hovered nearby in the sky. Members of
another household reported their power box hummed violently as the
orange beam hovered some distance away in the sky.
This data confirms the probability that Tesla-style
longitudinal scalar EM potentials were involved in this Brisbane event
(and therefore were possibly present during the other beam events),
probably created by a remote Tesla EM transmitter and issuing from
local space-time 'vacuum' at the standing wave target node, i.e., the
beam location.
One quite feasible explanation for the orange beams is
that they are due to electromagnetic 'holograms' of light-energy being
emitted from invisible but concentrated slugs of EM standing waves.
Such waves may be of natural (e.g. Earth
stress lights), human or alien origin, but all involving
multiple scalar EM wave interference.
The massive, high-altitude, blue-white light energy
flashes are possibly due to Tesla EM wave emission coupling briefly
with the upper atmosphere, whereas the ground-level flashes are
possibly due to the operation of a Tesla Magnifying
Transmitter (located either in Australia or overseas) that
is transmitting EM energy through the planet to the antipodean target
site where electrical arc energy is being violently released.
None of the reported events involving either blue-white
light energy flashes or orange-red beams or spheres
occurred during or near any kind of electrical storm or unsettled
weather pattern. There is a possibility of some unknown natural
phenomenon electrically charging selected Earth fault plane systems
across WA, thence creating huge "Earth stress lights" hanging above
selected energy concentrations.
Solar charged-particle output, coupling in some peculiar
style with the Earth's ionosphere/surface, is a further
possibility, but this implies that there has been a very significant
recent change in the Earth-Sol electromagnetic
and/or electrostatic equilibrium.
Such powerful and localised exotic light events,
occurring in large numbers and in such a relatively short time-span of
a few years, have never been previously reported from WA, or anywhere
else on planet Earth, in documented
scientific history.
However, on occasion, isolated single high-energy (Earth
stress light?) events have been reported; e.g., in Eastern
Tibet in 1947, prior to the Red Chinese invasion, a large
earthquake struck this border area and was followed by huge,
high-power, orange-red glows of spherical light-forms which hung for
days over the eastern sky. Buddhist monks reported that these
apparitions were visible from Lhasa and they considered them at the
time to be very evil omens (and correctly so!).
These Australian events are very high-power events and
should not mistakenly be compared with the average, isolated and very
rare, low-power "Earth stress light" and/or "min-min light" reports as
occasionally observed near seismically active earthquake zones and
only rarely reported in historical literature.
The concentrated high energies involved in the recent
Australian fireball and associated events and in the exotic static
light events, as well as their increasing event
periodicities, suggest a non-natural origin, or possibly a
rapidly evolving natural system of unknown type.
At this time, scalar EM wave interference is the
preferred physics mechanism for the formation of both fireballs and
their associated phenomena as well as the exotic static
light emission events.
Alien UFO activities cannot be completely discounted,
but they do not fit the available human intelligence pattern which
strongly points to Earth-based technological
activity.
BANJAWARN NUCLEAR BOMB SCENARIO?
During my early research enquiries in 1995 into the
"Banjawarn Bang" of 28 May 1993, Australia's ABC radio broadcast a
news item from the USA referring to US Senator Sam Nunn who was
chairman of a US Senate Inquiry into the "Japanese Aum Sect and
Weapons of Mass Destruction". Nunn was reported to have stated that
the Senate inquiry team had evidence that the Aum Supreme Truth (Aum
Shinrikyo) sect had attempted to purchase nuclear weapons from the
Russians and had also attempted to develop same from their own
scientific laboratory base-and had probably succeeded. I became
worried that, since the 28 May 1993 Goldfields event did have
characteristics similar to a nuclear blast, possibly these Aum sect
loonies had indeed acquired nuclear weapons and some sort of pulse jet
(i.e., Nazi V1 type
cruise missile) delivery system.
I contacted Dan Gelber, chief counsel of the US Senate
inquiry, and told him of my data and research. His agitated response
was: "Please express airpack everything that you have to us asap-at
our expense." I complied with his
request, and also spoke to him and his assistant several
times more on the phone.
I now believe that, although the energies involved in
the Banjawarn event were of nuclear-bomb power level, the
explosion was not of nuclear but of scalar EM technology
origin.
THE TESLA CONNECTION
In an early telephone call, Dan Gelber informed me that
the US had found evidence that in 1992 the Aum sect had sent a
research team to study at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade,
Yugoslavia. Their objective was to get data on Tesla's electromagnetic
wave transmission technology, as related to an earthquake-inducing
weapons system. Gelber, being a lawyer, did not seem to understand
much about this weapons system, but discussed it 'in passing' as
evidence for the Aum sect's deep desire to obtain exotic new weapons
systems with potential for mass destruction-such as nuclear bombs,
nerve gas technology, etc.
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was the scientific genius who
singlehandedly invented modern AC electrical rotating
fields and electrical generators, motors, plus radio (Marconi
apparently stole Tesla's ideas whilst apprenticed at Tesla's New York
laboratory) and a host of other electrical and electromagnetic
devices. Most of the foundations of modern 20th century electrical
civilisation is due to Tesla's pioneering work in the period
1880-1908.
As it happens, I have a large library of Tesla's works
and many books written about him. Tesla's electromagnetics and his
understanding of physics have always intrigued me and I
have spent many hours pouring over his patents, attempting
to visualise the circuits and his understanding.
I was greatly intrigued by Gelber's comments and
pondered over their possible significance, if any, to the Banjawarn
events of 28 May 1993. I began to reread my Tesla library, searching
for any possibly relevant information.
TELEGEODYNAMICS AND TESLA WAVES
I found references to Tesla constructing a vibrating
mechanical oscillator with a perfect periodicity that he used to
'ping' the Earth. He also tried it out on his
laboratory building structure and found that when it received a return
signal of longitudinal (i.e., scalar) seismic or sound wave energy it
added a new impulse "ping" to the return. After a few minutes this
wave reinforcement built to such a level that harmonic oscillatory
forces created local ground earthquakes and/or began to vibrate the
target building to pieces. Tesla built this device to provide a
mechanical analogy to his EM wave research and to help him visualise
the system dynamics.
Tesla describes taking a sledgehammer to one of his
first devices, as this was the only method capable of stopping
the rapid collapse of his laboratory and nearby buildings which were
all vibrating increasingly violently and in sympathy with the
mechanical oscillator's seismic wave packets.
There were vague references in the literature to Tesla's
mechanical telegeodynamics theories coupled to suggestions that he
could create the same seismic effects with EM
"Tesla waves", as produced by his "Magnifying Energy
Transmitter"-a giant Tesla coil linked to a special circuit
design and a large, spherically shaped 'aerial'.
Tesla utilised these "Tesla waves"-longitudinal (scalar)
EM waves (like sound waves) of pure electrostatic potential with no
'E' (electrical) or 'H' (magnetic) transverse
vibrational fields. He certainly proved that he could transmit usable
electrical energy in very large quantities, without any wires and with
only minor energy losses, via his EM Magnifying Energy Transmitter. He
claimed that he was bouncing these Tesla waves through the Earth's
core to the antipodes and back to the transmitter (Tx) site. A
relatively small, 10 kW-generator energy supply of just a few
horsepower would rapidly allow the buildup by resonance of millions of
horsepower in the coil circuits of this Magnifying Energy Transmitter
device.
Sheets of man-made lightning and blue-white electrical
streamers would arc out of the circuit to Earth grounding points, or
from the top spherical aerial system. Locals, many miles away from
Tesla's Colorado Springs laboratory,
complained of experiencing sparks and blue-white streamers
of electrical energy issuing from power lines, generators,
electric motors, etc., and even from the soles of their
boots to the ground.
Tesla had previously demonstrated that fire and flames
can be exactly reproduced by very-high-tension, high-frequency,
electrostatic potential waves (in fact, that is all a fire is when
considered in physics)-dimensions higher than the standard 'burning
of, say, carbon in oxygen' philosophy of
atomic molecular chemistry.
In his patent for the EM Magnifying Energy Transmitter,
Tesla mentions that it can transmit electrostatic potential energy to
the planetary antipodes, or create a grid of
standing waves and nodes of pure electrostatic potential energy across
the entire planet. He provides a method for steering the antipodean
target site by utilising two or more waves of differing frequency and
amplitude from two or more widely separated Tx sites.
It is important to realise that he was not transmitting
standard Hertzian waves which vibrate transversely to the string
direction in normal 3D space with a constant rate of time flow-as in
standard HF radio transmission. Lord Kelvin
of the London Royal Society of Physics once had a serious
argument with Tesla at a scientific meeting in New York as
Kelvin considered transverse vibrational 'E'- and 'H'-field
Hertzian waves to be the only form of EM wave propagation.
However, when invited to Tesla's laboratory, Kelvin was
astounded to see by experimental demonstration that Tesla
was indeed creating longitudinal vibrational or scalar EM waves of
pure electrostatic potential-or, as Tesla called them, non-Hertzian
radiations. Kelvin then apologised in public and confirmed the
existence and nature of the new Tesla wave.
Recent private research in the USA has demonstrated that
Tesla wavescan propagate in 'n'-dimensional space and may
be engineered to operate in a non-linear time dimension at
any speed from zero to infinite (not being limited to 'c',
the speed of light).
Several Tesla waves sent from different transmitters may
also be engineered to combine by interferometry to produce an EM slug
of very-high-level infolded or contained energy, with any desired
light emission shape, colour and
intensity. This slug of EM energy may be moved around the planet at
will-visibly or invisibly). The contained energy may be released by a
further specific transmission. The EM slug can be moved into the
Earth, through the air or into the sea. If 'detonated' in the Earth,
an earthquake is the result. In a building or a city, a violent
explosion of pseudo nuclear style is the result (even up to nuclear
force levels).
TESLA'S "DEATH RAYS" AND SUPPRESSED EM WEAPONS
TECHNOLOGY
In his later years Tesla claimed that he could produce a
"death ray", with a range of hundreds of miles, which would be useful
against aircraft. Tesla also stated that another
of his inventions would allow entire cities to be devastated by
explosive EM transmissions across intercontinental distances, to
anywhere on the planet, with no defence possible; and that EM "Tesla
shields", produced by the same new device, could defend an entire
country or a city against aircraft and shells.
He certainly made several public announcements about the
"death-ray" and "city-buster" EM weapons systems in the
1920s and 1930s, but no details of techniques have survived
in the public domain to my knowledge.
In 1924 a plethora of "death ray" and "anti-aircraft
ray" stories appeared in the New York Times. The Western Australian
Kalgoorlie Miner newspaper also published
stories on these inventions during the 1920s.
Various inventions were linked to scientists from
several nations, e.g., Grindell H. Mathews (UK), Dr T. F. Wall
(USA), Herr Wolle (Germany), and Grammachikoff (USSR) (as revealed by
belligerent statements by Trotsky). Details of
the technology allegedly employed by these systems are currently
unavailable in the Western literature.
An Australian inventor of such a "death-ray" device,
Charles Sidney Way, was found dead-shot through the heart
under mysterious circumstances-on the promenade of an
English seaside resort in late 1937.
News stories were also published in the USA about
Tesla's "death ray" inventions in 1924, 1934 and, finally, in 1938.
The 1938 press releases stated that Tesla would employ
50 million volts in a new form of ray wave, only
one-hundred-millionth of a centimetre in diameter, based upon an
entirely new principle of physics that produced a great repelling
force. Tesla stated that this device could melt any engine and that
there was no defence against it. It could travel through interstellar
space faster than light and, if aimed at the Moon, it would turn a
spot on the surface into incandescence.
It would appear that Tesla was referring to something
vaguely similar to modern concepts of laser or particle
beam weapons, but possibly utilising micro-wave EM transmissions of
enormous power, travelling at speeds greater than 'c', the velocity of
light. In actual fact, physicists call waves with dimensions of
one-hundred-millionth of a centimetre (i.e., 10-9 metres) X-rays, but
the size mentioned by Tesla is also quite close to the arbitrary
boundary designated for even smaller
radiations-defined as gamma rays.
To achieve such wave-packet velocities of greater than
'c' was thought to be impossible in Einsteinian Western
physics-until the recent redevelopment of new ideas in physics
concerning the theoretical relativistic hyperspace transmission of
scalar EM waves-or Tesla waves.
It is also now known that longitudinal scalar EM waves
do indeed produce a great repelling force on the atomic
nucleus, bypassing the outer electron shells and directly
engineering or interfering with the components of the nucleus.
Tesla was not known to make idle statements, but some of
his ideas were so incredible and beyond the 'ken' of so
many other physics peers that mainstream academics commonly
just ignored his work. Only in recent years have some brave
souls come out with experimental and theoretical studies
that confirm the brilliance of this amazingly practical and
innovative mind. Most modern Western university physicists
simply ignore Tesla's work. Only Eastern European and
Russian universities normally include a study of Tesla's
work in their curricula.
As early as 1914, Tesla predicted the electrical control
of atmospheric moisture, and he gave some thought to how this 'weather
control' could be achieved using his magnifying
transmitter. He implied that it would be possible even to affect the
Sun's EM fields and output, or certainly modify its effects upon the
Earth, by means of EM Tesla wave transmitters.
Tesla suggested a means for lighting the ionosphere by
EM waves to produce a dull white glow-to turn night into day
and make sea and air navigation safer. This apparently magical thesis
would work along the lines of an analogy between the rarefied upper
atmosphere or ionosphere and a standard evacuated fluorescent tube:
both can be lit up by a Tesla coil radiating Tesla waves, without any
wires having to be used.
Tesla believed that nuclear radiation from specific
isotopes, such as radium or uranium, was not just the result of atomic
nucleus instability, but that the decay was caused by interaction of
the nucleus with a special ray emanating throughout the universe. He
stated that it would be possible to engineer EM "shielding" to stop
the rays and hence terminate the action of nuclear disintegration, and
that therefore, presumably, it would be possible to generate
concentrations of such rays and stimulate the nucleus into explosive
or rapid general transmutation.
Tesla's radiation and other theories, as well as more
recent theoretical studies by US physicist Tom Bearden,
have enabled a full elucidation of the reasons for a series of quite
bizarre activities associated with the Japanese Aum Supreme Truth sect
at Banjawarn station, Western Australia, during 1993, and demonstrated
the sect's close connection to the Banjawarn fireballs, explosion and
mini-Tunguska earthquake events.
As research into the "Banjawarn Bang" has progressed, an
entire collection of bizarre events and coincidences has begun to
unravel-but you will have to wait for Part 3 for that...
The next article in this series will cover intelligence
on the Japanese Aum sect as regards their interest in EM weapons and
their activities in Australia. It will also
summarise the known physics and effects of modern scalar EM weapons
systems, including their wave-transmission health
effects on human and other life-forms, and will detail a variety of
recent Earth history events where such weapons are believed to have
been employed by Russian, Japanese and covert US power groups.

Lately he has been devoting his time and expertise to researching
mysterious Australian outback phenomena of natural and man-made
origins.
Did the Japanese Aum Supreme Truth sect purchase an
Australian outback sheep station for its own Tesla-style weapons
testing, or to eavesdrop on someone else's secret tests, or both?
"BANJAWARN BANG" REVISITED
Part 1 of this "Bright Skies" series of articles
described an anomalous event-consisting of a bright, flat-trajectory
fireball, a huge flash of white light, a major explosion, a red flare
rising skywards to a great height, and a 3.6-3.9 Richter-scale
earthquake-which occurred on the late evening of 28 May 1993 on or
close to Banjawarn sheep station
(ranch) in the northeastern Goldfields region of Western
Australia. The majority of eyewitness evidence placed the "ground
zero" of the 1-2 kilotonne explosion on the northwestern edge of this
Banjawarn property. A large hemisphere (some two times as large as a
half-setting Sun) of opaque orange-red colour with a silver lining
then rose from ground level to bob around for two
hours before turning off as if a light switch had been thrown.
The Banjawarn sheep station soon became newsworthy due
to its purchase and occupation in 1993 by the Japanese sect,
the Aum Supreme Truth (Aum Shinrikyo), of Tokyo subway gas-attack
fame. The sect's stated purpose at that time was "to conduct
experiments there [at Banjawarn] for the benefit of mankind". It was
reported in the media in 1995 that Aum sect members had experimented
there with sarin nerve gas on sheep-as a prelude to the Tokyo gas
attack on 20 March 1995.
The Aum sect's deputy leader, Kiyohide Hayakawa, visited
Perth in April 1993. Aided by Perth-based Japanese Mahikari sect
agent, Japanese-born Yasuko Shimada, he hired a light plane and flew
with a Perth real estate consultant
(Japanese-Australian, Micky Webb) out to the northeastern
Goldfields to view several "for sale" sheep stations.
Interestingly, in his pre-Aum days, Hayakawa had studied
for his Masters degree at Osaka University in "Greening
Technology". His thesis is marked highly confidential and is under
top-secret wraps. The University authorities originally stated that he
studied "Anti-Desertification" in the Climate Engineering department.
However, Japanese investigative journalist Yoichi Shimatsu (see web
site www.pelago.com) has uncovered strong evidence that this
department is a cover for secret Japanese electromagnetic (EM) weapons
research. More recently, in response to Shimatsu's published story
concerning Hayakawa's true area of study, Osaka University now insists
that Hayakawa studied "Landscape Engineering". The outcome of the
deployment of certain types of EM weapons is, if you like, a higher
order of "Landscape Engineering"!
These weapons systems appear to be candidates, amongst
many other examples, for the geophysical environmental warfare weapons
originally envisaged by Professor Gordon McDonald
in Nigel Calder's 1968 book, Unless Peace Comes.
Hayakawa left Osaka University and soon found his way
into the Unification Church-the Korean Moonies sect. The
Reverend Moon was a long-time friend of the recently deceased North
Korean "Great Leader", and is now known as an associate of George Bush
in new Moonies ventures in South America. After some years, Hayakawa
became a high-ranking member but broke with this sect under cloudy
circumstances in 1987. He left the Moonies (with their
permission?)-with US$20 million of their funds, the deeds to several
Tokyo buildings, and the rights to several
Moonies businesses-and joined the Aum sect.
According to an analyst for the Japanese Police,
Hayakawa was under surveillance at this time-believed to be a
possible spy for the North Korean military. He inadvertently led them
straight to the relatively unknown Aum sect.
Hayakawa apparently utilised these Moonies assets to buy
his way into the Aum sect-to whom he brought some 35 fellow Moonies.
He rose almost immediately to the position of
deputy leader, running a nearly separate organisation surrounded by
his ex-Moonies cadres, in his so-called "Aum Construction Ministry".
Hayakawa reportedly began to use the multi-faceted Aum organisation as
a convenient cover for a variety of drugs, arms and high-tech
scientific equipment (of use in weapons manufacture) dealings around
the world. For instance, during the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein was among
his trading partners.
Hayakawa visited Russia 22 times, and North Korea 17
times since 1992. He traded with KGB official Vitaly
Masenko-operating under cover of the Ukraine Ministry of
Industry and Trade. Masenko had previously worked closely
with the Ukrainian chapter of the Unification Church since
at least the mid-1980s.
JAPANESE CULTS: COVERT POLITICAL SUPPORT
Yasuko Shimada, Hayakawa's contact and helper in Western
Australia, also had an interesting career prior to her 1993 Banjawarn
role, according to author Garry Greenwood.
In his 1997 book, All The Emperor's Men, Greenwood
discusses his experiences with the international Japanese cult
Mahikari. He was a devoted member of this "New Civilisation" spiritual
healing religion for some 17 years and was their number-two spiritual
leader/executive in Australia for about 10 years.
Several years ago Greenwood left this sect upon
discovering that its founder, Lt Colonel Yoshikazu Okada (ex-Emperor's
bodyguard and Imperial Guards), had been instrumental in planning the
Japanese Army's infamous "Rape of Nanking" in China prior to World War
II. He also found out that at the higher Japanese Mahikari command
levels the cult was viewed as designed with just one purpose: to
initiate the
placement of the current Emperor of Japan back to his "rightful"
position as Emperor of Planet Earth within our lifetime. Apparently
these people believe that in an earlier lifetime, many of thousands of
years ago, the present Japanese Emperor ruled this entire planet, and
it is now his ordained destiny to rule the Earth again.
Greenwood noted that Yasuko Shimada, Hayakawa's 1993
Perth contact, was instrumental in establishing Mahikari in
Australia in 1974. This cult has only some 2,000 members
here, but it concentrates on the rich and powerful.
Jo Court, the wife of Western Australian Premier Richard
Court, has been a member for some 15 years, and she and her husband
celebrated his February 1993 election win all the
next day at the Perth Mahikari temple, before leaving two
weeks later on a holiday tour of Japan, reportedly
involving many meetings with powerful and influential
Mahikari-sponsored Japanese "businessmen".
It is interesting just how many events in this Banjawarn
story happened in sequence during early 1993.
In April 1993, yet another Japanese group arrived in WA.
The Japanese Environment Ministry approached the Western
Australian Government with a plan to undertake an
"Anti-Desertification" study in the eastern Goldfields area
of WA. This project went silent after the Aum affair exploded into the
world news, but after help by Richard Court and Deputy Premier Hendy
Cowan it is now in full swing around Kalgoorlie and Laverton. Japanese
university post-graduate students are tending electronic monitoring
equipment installed all over these areas of the eastern Goldfields-"in
order to learn how to green third-world deserts".
Joint research by Yoichi Shimatsu in Japan and Garry
Greenwood has uncovered a trail of connections between the
covert Japanese money-power supporters of both the Aum and
Mahikari sects. These included prominent LDP (Liberal Democratic
Party) politicians such as Shintaro Ishihara, co-author (with the late
Sony chairman Akio Morita) of a book entitled The Japan That Can Say
No. This 1989 book's basic thesis suggested that Japan should ally
with Russia, and that by mating Japanese microchips to Russian
super-weapons they could put the finger up to the USA and jointly rule
the world. It appears to describe the plan
that is currently being followed by a covert money-power group that
controls the Japanese Government.
Much evidence suggests that both the Japanese Aum and
Mahikari sects are offshoots of covert Japanese God-Emperor
worship groups and serve mainly as deniable political (and
military technology) action arms intended to aid their particular
Japanese brand of world hegemony. It is unlikely that most
international members are aware of this or their dupe roles in this
scenario. Jo Court was informed of this Mahikari-Emperor scenario by
her (now ex-) friend Garry Greenwood, but she refused to believe it.
HAYAKAWA'S FIELDWORK
In April 1993 Hayakawa, aided by the Perth real estate
consultant, spent 12 days examining sheep station
properties in the Leonora-Laverton outback region of
Western Australia.
Flying in to each station, Hayakawa strangely and openly
asked to be shown immediately the uranium prospects that
were located there. Hayakawa took small rock samples away for assay
from each uranium prospect that he was shown. He then requested a
station 4WD vehicle to "tour the station alone to view the property
potential and make up his mind re purchase".
According to information from the consultant, Hayakawa
drove to locations within the central areas of the
properties, often over the soil-covered granites. At first he
attempted to drill two small holes into the ground with a small
portable rock-drill, but the drill soon failed and he had to dig small
holes by spade. He placed an electrode into each ground-hole,
connected the two electrodes to a small electrical instrument about
the size of a fax machine, and proceeded to record some electrical or
electromagnetic variable for several hours at each site. He did not
move the electrodes at all during this process.
Back at the station quarters he would "number-crunch"
this data all night long on a powerful portable computer.
Hayakawa was rather touchy when the consultant asked him
what these procedures were all about, and he mumbled that it was
necessary for the Aum's future experiments "for the
benefit of mankind" to choose the correct location. In fact, he
carried out these ground geophysical surveys without the knowledge of
any of the station owners, who thought he was merely sightseeing
around their properties in station 4WD vehicles.
As a geophysicist often involved in geophysical surveys
of many types for mineral exploration purposes, I could not
immediately understand or deduce what electrical system
Hayakawa was utilising or for what purpose. Normal electrical and
electromagnetic ground surveys involve moving the sensors along lines
over the prospective ore-body location, not measuring some parameter
for hours at one static location, and they never involve
number-crunching measurements all night long.
Hayakawa repeated this procedure of uranium sampling,
ground geophysics and all-night number-crunching at each sheep station
that he visited.
Eventually, after further aerial surveying of Banjawarn,
Hayakawa decided that this station was ideal for Aum's
purposes. It appears that he chose Banjawarn due to its isolation
rather than its contained uranium prospects which, if anything, were
much smaller and lower in grade than those located on the other
stations he had inspected.
Banjawarn is arguably the most isolated sheep station in
the eastern Goldfields, and the area lying along its
northern, northeastern and eastern perimeter is even more isolated
sand-dune/spinifex country linked to the edge of the Gibson Desert.
The entire area is almost totally devoid of inhabitants.
Hayakawa attempted to purchase the station then and
there in mid-April 1993, showing the owner a briefcase full of
Australian paper money notes. The owner, being a prudent man and well
aware of colour ink-jet printers, refused to deal in that manner and
requested a properly signed legal purchase document and the handover
of a reputable WA bank cheque.
Obviously Hayakawa was keen for the Aum to own the
Banjawarn station right away, in mid-April 1993-which suggests he was
operating to a tight time schedule.
Hayakawa then immediately returned to Perth and left for
Tokyo, but in early May 1993 he travelled to the Soviet
naval base at Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam-according to Japanese
Police inspection of his travel agent's ticket stub lists.
Later in April 1993 two other Aum personnel arrived in
Perth from Tokyo, whereupon they utilised the services of a
firm of solicitors to establish a WA company and draw up a legal
purchase document which would be satisfactory to the owners of
Banjawarn station. These Aum representatives had a poor command of
English and were quite agitated at the slow and lengthy legal process
necessary to effect the purchase agreement-which again suggests a
tight timetable for their agenda.
This Banjawarn purchase agreement was signed on 23 April
1993. Yasuko Shimada, being an Australian resident, was
co-signatory on the Banjawarn ownership papers in order to
help the Aum get past Australian land ownership
regulations. Without her Mahikari help, the Aum would have
had severe problems gaining title to Banjawarn and
conducting experiments there "for the benefit of mankind".
I find it interesting that the Mahikari sect includes
amongst its members the wife of the Premier of Western
Australia; the same Premier who had an investigation conducted into
the Aum sect's activities in connection with the "Banjawarn Bang". He
was prompted by my 1995 report to him regarding the early
fireball/explosion/quake data that suggested this event could have
been nuclear in nature and was certainly suspicious enough to warrant
a full scientific investigation.
Premier Court stated in a letter to me (dated 15 May
1996) that this WA Police inquiry had established that the
Banjawarn event was natural in origin. Yet not one of the
eyewitnesses (whose testimony was detailed in my report) was ever
approached by the WA Police (or anyone else) during the alleged
investigation. It appears there is room here for some interesting
scenarios and, at least, a few important questions require answering.
The exchange of Aum's bank cheque to the owner of
Banjawarn took place on 1 June 1993. Thus, actual ownership of
Banjawarn station was in the hands of the Aum sect via a front company
only three days after the fireball event of 28 May 1993, though this
had been guaranteed by signed agreement some 35 days before the
Banjawarn fireball event.
The WA Government's Pastoral Board finally registered
the official change of ownership on 1 September 1993.
THE AUM THAT NEVER WAS
In mid-1995 the chief lawyer of the US Senate inquiry
into the Aum sect informed this author of the Aum's great
interest in Nikola Tesla's EM earthquake-inducing weapons technology.
This suggested an interesting line of research and posed the question
of whether there was a connection between the bizarre fireball events
of the night of 28 May 1993 and the interest shown by Hayakawa and the
Aum sect in Banjawarn station.
On 26 May 1993 a party of Australian and Japanese
amateur astronomers was touring the Goldfields en route from
Leonora to Meekatharra when they encountered several Japanese people
camped in the bush north of Leonora. The Japanese astronomers remarked
to their companions that these people were quite strange in their
demeanour and conversation, and they were seen to be very oddly
attired. It is quite possible they were Aum members, as the sect is
renowned in Japan for strange dress and behaviour.
From where they were camped it was only about one hour
by 4WD vehicle on bush roads to the 28 May event's ground-zero
location near or on Banjawarn station. These people were ideally
placed to cover the fireball events that occurred
just two days later. Japanese tourists are very rare in this region
which is well off the beaten track.
The Australian Federal Police informed me in April 1995
that Aum sect personnel, including their science minister
Hideo Murai (a nuclear physicist, regarded as "the most intelligent
living Japanese"), were at Banjawarn on 28 May 1993, having arrived in
Australia in mid-May. (Interestingly, Murai also had a pre-Aum
background in EM technology. He had worked at Kobe Steel, researching
microwave and other EM ray/wave technology applications for cold
moulding of steel, having graduated as an astrophysicist specialising
in cosmic X-ray analysis. His Kobe Steel laboratory was at the
epicentre of the great 1995 Kobe earthquake.)
About one month later the Federal Police retracted this
story, stating that there was no evidence of any Aum
members being at Banjawarn (or in Australia) at the time of
the fireball event, therefore the Aum could not have been
involved in the event of 28 May.
The amateur astronomers' information suggests that the
Federal Police were at best mistaken. Unknown Aum members
could easily have arrived in eastern Australia posing as Japanese
tourists and might have been missed by Australian immigration
authorities.
The Australian Federal Police also claimed later that
ownership of the Banjawarn station was only transferred to
the Aum sect as late as September 1993, hence there was no
possible tie-up with the fireball events. Technically this is correct,
since this was when the WA Pastoral Board registered the change of
ownership. However, this claim is very misleading since the purchase
agreement was signed by both parties on 23 April 1993, and Aum handed
over the bank cheque on 1 June 1993.
At the time of the "fireball" event at 23.03 hours on
Friday evening 28 May 1993, the Aum knew that Banjawarn was
theirs by legally enforceable right. They also knew there was rarely
anyone in residence at the station buildings during weekends from
Friday to Monday when, typically, the station owner and his wife would
drive 100 km to the southwest to stay with relatives.
The party of strangely dressed Japanese persons (Aum?)
could easily have checked that all tracks in the event
ground-zero were devoid of personnel-if this was even considered
necessary. They could certainly have filmed the events of 28 May
and/or carried out monitoring of field scientific parameters.
In late September 1993 Shoko Asahara, the bearded
guru-leader of the Aum sect, arrived in Perth with deputy
leader Hayakawa and several group members (including young
teenage girls), carrying excess air freight baggage
reportedly costing some A$330,000.
This "baggage" included laboratory and "mining
equipment" in the cargo hold, as well as dangerous chemicals
(hydrochloric acid) concealed in toiletry containers and sake bottles
in personal luggage. Many of these items were confiscated by
Australian Customs, and two Aum members spent time in detention over
their infringement of air safety regulations.
The Aum entourage hired a couple of twin-engined planes
to fly them out to Banjawarn. They later utilised the planes for
low-level aerial recce around the entire station area
as well as examination of areas outside the station to the east, south
and north. The Australian Federal Police alleges that the Aum sect
tested sarin nerve gas on sheep at Banjawarn station during its
September 1993 occupation. The evidence for this is
slim and would probably fall down if ever tested in court.
Moreover, there is copious evidence that sarin was not the
gas used in the Tokyo subway gas attack.
Gas attacks on the Japanese railway system, and strange
(possibly terrorist-initiated) "accidents" in Japanese
nuclear power plants, have continued well after Asahara's
incarceration. There is some evidence that points to North
Korean terrorist activities being the source of all of these
incidents-including the original Tokyo subway gas attack.
Today, Asahara is generally being vilified in the Japanese/world media
and is kept in a cold cell; but Hayakawa is hardly ever heard of while
under house arrest (where his 'warders' call him "Sir"!). It appears
likely that the Aum was simply nominated as the source of the gas
attack to shut down a compromised
intelligence asset and hide the true state of affairs regarding North
Korea.
NUCLEAR BOMB SCENARIO
The eyewitness observations of the Banjawarn explosion
of 28 May 1993 resemble a description of a night-time nuclear blast.
Calculations utilising the seismic signals received around WA
suggested that the energies involved in the
explosion were at least 1-2 kilotonnes of TNT equivalent, i.e.,
similar to a small nuclear bomb. Following mid-1995 press reports that
linked the Aum to attempts to procure nuclear weapons, I decided that
this possibility was serious enough to alert the US Senate inquiry and
the Australian authorities. However, a lack of radioactive dust
particles in Australian collectors for that month, as well as
intelligence information and other considerations, soon led me to
discount the nuclear bomb theory. However, the US Senate is still
researching this possibility.
During their brief one-month occupation of Banjawarn
station in 1993, the Aum entourage established a field
chemical laboratory in one of the Banjawarn station houses. They also
built a new graded track down to the edge of the large salt lake south
of the station buildings, presumably to allow better access for
uranium sampling.
There is solid evidence from Australian Federal Police
sources that the Aum re-sampled many uranium mineral shows
in the district and air-freighted a trunkload of local uranium ore
back to Japan. Samples of this ore left in the Banjawarn laboratory
and found by the Federal Police have been analysed in the WA
Government Laboratory in Perth. These rocks contained such low levels
of uranium that the chemists and Police laughed at the Aum's apparent
stupidity in attempting to use these ores for nuclear-bomb-making
purposes. There is no other evidence of any illegal uranium mining or
large-scale sampling by the Aum at or near Banjawarn.
Thus Hayakawa had undertaken geochemical sampling of the
local uranium shows before and after the 28 May '93
Banjawarn fireball event with its associated explosion,
earthquake and two-hour orange-red hemispherical structure.
Later news reports, sourced from an Aum detainee
imprisoned in Tokyo, suggested that Aum had attempted to extract
fissionable uranium from the Banjawarn ore.
This nuclear technology story fitted the earlier press
releases of US Senator Sam Nunn, who, as senior member of
the US Senate inquiry into the Aum sect and Weapons of Mass
Destruction (Oct-Nov 1995), had argued that there was evidence the Aum
had attempted to acquire nuclear weapons from their Russian contacts,
and had also attempted to develop their own nuclear weapons in Aum
factories.
On the available evidence, Nunn was worried that the Aum
may have succeeded in either endeavour and had therefore
acquired nuclear weapons. His worry was justified, given media
information suggesting that Aum leader Asahara was not only predicting
a future major nuclear war between Japan and the USA, but was also
plotting to initiate such a war by detonating a clandestine nuclear
weapon within continental USA.
The ore available to the Aum at Banjawarn was very low
grade, and, in common with all uranium ore, consisted of
99.999% 238U with only very minuscule amounts of 235U-the highly
reactive, fissionable bomb-making uranium isotope. Until the recent
development of laser extraction technology, it would take years to
acquire useful amounts of this isotope-using large centrifuge and gas
extraction industrial plants operating on huge amounts of ore with
massive electrical power requirements. It still takes large amounts of
ore but can now be achieved in months rather than years.
It was obviously impossible for the Aum to effect
recovery of sufficient 235U for a standard uranium nuclear bomb in
their field laboratory and with their limited mining actions at
Banjawarn. But a "dirty" bomb (238U-cased tactical or micro-nuke, as
acquired from Russia?) could possibly have been achieved by the Aum's
actions.
However, Hayakawa had expended a great deal of effort in
his geophysical all-night-long number-crunching surveys and in his
geochemical sampling of the local uranium shows.
What was his purpose, and was there a link with the events
of 28 May 1993?
The possible links between the Aum sect and the
Banjawarn events can be summarised as:
(1) The Aum's interest in the same piece of Planet Earth
as the strange "fireball" and its associated events, and at
approximately the same time;
(2) Hayakawa's earlier "Landscape Engineering", i.e., EM
weapons studies at Osaka University, and Murai's EM work at Kobe
Steel;
(3) The US Senate inquiry chief lawyer's comments re the
Aum's interest in Tesla's earthquake-inducing EM weapons
systems;
(4) The strange nature of the "fireball" events, as
reported by eyewitnesses, apparently not fitting a normal,
natural meteorite scenario.
SOVIET/RUSSIAN-JAPANESE EM WEAPONS SCENARIO
Japanese seismologists' first inkling of EM
earthquake-inducing weapons technology came at a joint meeting between
them and Soviet seismologists after the huge Armenian earthquake of
1988.
Strongly supportive evidence about these weapons came
from a Moscow source developed by Japanese investigative
journalists. This person was present during a conference in
Moscow (January 1990) when a top Japanese delegation, led by Foreign
Minister Shintaro Abe, met with USSR President Gorbachev and his aide,
Politburo member Alexander Yakovlev. Their intent was to establish
"bilateral cooperation".
At further meetings in January 1991, Gorbachev via
Yakovlev offered the Japanese the USSR's super-secret
intercontinental EM weapons technology-capable of producing
earthquakes-for US$900 million. This EM weapon system had
been on active service in the USSR since the early 1960s.
Gorbachev also agreed with Japanese Diet member Toshio
Yamaguchi to the setting up of a joint Japan-Russia
University in Moscow that would be tasked with co-opting the brightest
young nuclear physicist minds of both countries to develop new second-
and third-generation EM super-weapons by mating Japanese microchip and
electronics know-how to Russian first-generation weapons technology.
Note the scenario similarity to that of the book, The Japan That Can
Say No.
This university was soon formed, and under the cover of
"Cultural Studies" was administered by the Aum sect and one Lobov.
Lobov became Yeltsin's head of the Security
Council-after the late 1991 coup that removed Gorbachev. The Aum
cadres first arrived in Moscow in late 1991. Under the support of
Lobov, given many hours of free time on Radio Moscow and access to the
Russian Army, the Aum soon had more Russian members (over 50,000) than
Japanese (around 30,000).
The Aum sect was utilised to effect many covert arms
purchases in Russia as cover for the Japanese Government.
Yakovlev still managed the Japanese/Aum relationship-but from behind
Lobov, due to this close association with the now-tainted Gorbachev.
Both met Hayakawa repeatedly over the next few years.
The asking price for this EM weapons technology exchange
was US$900 million-but it was not destined for the USSR
exchequer. The US Senate inquiry into the Aum found evidence that very
large sums of money had indeed been transferred to Lobov's Swiss bank
account, but did not know why! Several people ended up very dead in
Russia whilst attempting to research this scenario.
This intelligence raises the possibility that a test
site would be required for demonstrating the intercontinental range
and effectiveness of said EM weapon system to the purchaser. The
weapon would need to be 'fired' from an
existing KGB transmitter (Tx) site somewhere inside Russia,
and/or from a KGB-controlled naval vessel. (Remember, Hayakawa visited
the Russian Navy at Cam Ranh Bay soon after his April 1993 visit to
WA.) Probably two or three actual transmitters would be required to
effect the fireball and associated events. This test site could not be
in highly populated Japan for obvious reasons; nor could it be inside
Russia's borders, where the Russians totally controlled the target
site, since the purchaser might suspect a sham-set up to extract their
money.
Western Australia demonstrates a similar
intercontinental test-range distance from, say, the Siberian Kamchatka
Peninsula, as that from Japan to the eastern seaboard
cities of the USA.
Kamchatka contains a huge, 30-km-diameter, circular EM
weapons Tx site-which the infamous flight KAL 007 was attempting to
gain intelligence on, before being shot down by Soviet forces on 31
August 1983.
Obviously one or several test-firing demonstrations of
the EM weapon system's many capabilities would be in order
before any US$900 million could be handed over for the weapon. What
better way than to purchase an isolated Australian outback station to
act as the independent Japanese target and test range? Practically no
one lives in this desert to notice the tests. If someone did, they
would dismiss them as natural meteorites. The biggest and most
explosive test, and the one involving major earthquake initiation, was
best conducted prior to the Aum's official residency there.
US nuclear physicist and former US Army Lt Colonel Tom
Bearden has researched Soviet EM weapons systems for over
20 years. He has documented many eyewitness accounts from around the
world of "Tesla fireballs" and large spherical or hemispherical
orange-red "Tesla shields". Bearden believes that the Banjawarn
incident and associated events fit perfectly to known Soviet/Russian
EM weapons technology.
A Tesla fireball is created by two or more transmitters
broadcasting Tesla rays to create a slug of very high 'infolded' EM
energy that is moved across three-dimensional
space by manipulation of the ray parameters. When over or in the
target, their contained EM energy is released in microseconds to
create nuclear bomb-sized explosions or large earthquakes.
A Tesla shield consists of highly charged scalar EM
field-generated plasmas capable of blowing electrical circuits in
missiles or aircraft, thus downing them or removing their threat
potential for accurate weapons delivery. A Tesla shield is also
believed to be capable of engineering changes within the atomic
nucleus such that slow application of low-level EM energy transmutes
the nuclear isotopes within a warhead from, say, 235U to 238U; i.e.,
this technology can 'dud' nuclear warheads in their silos or in
flight. Alternatively, rapid application of
high EM energy levels may cause warheads to be prematurely
detonated.
HAYAKAWA'S REAL PURPOSE AROUND BANJAWARN
So why was Hayakawa carrying out a recce field
geophysical survey on the sheep stations around Banjawarn in April
1993? The following scenario is considered plausible.
Hayakawa needed to know the local 'infolded' EM (Tesla
ray) telluric or magneto-telluric parameters. This data would allow
for accurate targeting of the Russian EM weapon, and
for a study to detect changes induced during and after the actual
fireball-explosion-quake weapon test. Obviously the Japanese powers
wanted to know all they could about the technology.
For test purposes Hayakawa also required knowledge of
the U208/U205 ratio in the local uranium ore shows around the
district. Repeating these analyses during and after the tests would
allow an assessment of the nuclear warhead 'dudding' ability of the
Tesla rays within the huge orange-red hemisphere that formed north of
Banjawarn on the night of 28 May '93.
Thus, the simple Aum Banjawarn field laboratory could
easily handle analysis to determine the 238U/235U ratios of
the local uranium ore samples. Any changes in these ratios would
demonstrate the Russian claims about the transmutation of radioactive
warhead material. Such a scenario appears more plausible than the
impossibility of the Aum attempting to extract 235U from the Banjawarn
ores in the field laboratory.
A second fireball was reportedly seen at Banjawarn that
night, at 24.00 hours. It appeared to arc up from ground
level, high over Banjawarn, before crashing to Earth inside
the orange-red hemisphere structure. Was this a small test
missile, with electronic navigation and a payload of
uranium ore, designed to aid testing of this Tesla shield's
ability to dud both electronic and radioactive nuclei?
AMERICAN EM WEAPONS TESTING SCENARIO
A third large fireball was seen over Banjawarn at 5.00
am by truck drivers in May or June of '93. It flew a nearly
identical low-level nap-of-the-Earth trajectory and track to the first
fireball of 28 May '93. It was similar in all respects, except we do
not know if it made a Diesel-engine roaring noise in flight. Another
low-level, large roaring fireball was observed by a dogger (dingo
trapper) flying this same track from Laverton to Banjawarn in about
1988-89. Other "Tesla shield" structures consisting of orange-red
hemispheres and spheres were seen north of Banjawarn much earlier in
the 1980s, and in late 1988-89
and during 1992.
This data suggests either that a very strange natural
Earth EM system is operational in this region, or possibly that alien
activity has been ongoing in this area for some time. Or perhaps a
group other than the Japanese Aum has been utilising the area as its
EM testing ground for some years.
Certainly I and several witnesses experienced odd
effects just west of this area in 1988 whilst engaged in a gold
exploration project. Three HF radio systems, a computer and
three 4WD vehicles all suffered burnt-out electrical circuits at 11.00
am one morning. All of these systems were isolated from each other and
spread apart by distances varying from 10 to 50 kilometres. At the
time we joked about nuclear EMP blasts and UFOs (none seen!).
This electronics burn-out incident now looks like a
strike from an OTHR EMP plasma wave system-such as is currently
being deployed at Laverton, WA, Alice Springs, NT, and Longreach, Qld.
Sold to the public as simply "Over-the-Horizon Radar" (OTHR) utilising
HF hertzian waves, these systems actually have other, hidden effects.
By utilising pulsed radar beams of high power, they can create and
project a charged EM plasma via waveguide layers in the ionosphere.
This can be triggered to create severe
Earth-dielectric induced currents, causing electronic damage, human
electrocution, and other collateral damage upon targets located
thousands of miles distant-a modern on-off switch equivalent of a
nuclear bomb EMP blast.
Over recent years the Laverton district has had a
history of strange electrical events involving the burn-out of
power station generators, overvoltage blow-out of power lines,
interference on microwave telephone links, and radio receivers picking
up powerful, sparking current-flow interference at specific times.
It is quite possible that Hayakawa and Aum were actually
eavesdropping on someone else's EM weapons tests in this
area. If so, the best source candidate is the "ex-US base" at the
Exmouth Peninsula VLF/HF microwave transmitter site, located in
northwestern Australia. This is where so many reported fireball
flights appear to have originated. However, other fireballs have been
seen to fly towards this facility (due to Tx-reversed Tesla wave
polarity?). The Banjawarn "fireballs" also appear to have been on
course for Exmouth.
This Exmouth site also contains a large "mushroom farm"
(HAARP clone) aerial system-believed to be a prototype
experimental OTHR plasma weapon. Presumably this system has been
carrying out propagation tests for several years across the outback to
target sites located on Australian soil.
Hayakawa would still have needed to check for the
Exmouth Tx ground-infolded Tesla ray-wave, and ordinary EM hertzian
wave, signal strengths-in order to deduce which was the
best sheep station area to purchase for eavesdropping on these
presumably US-controlled tests. The Aum would probably still have
wished to test the nuclear dudding ideas by sampling the local uranium
ores in an attempt to study the effects of the local Tesla shield
developments.
On a related note, there is evidence that in April 1993
the Japanese Mitsui Corporation sent a field crew into
Australia to study "ground truth" geology obtained by their
high-definition Earth Resources Satellite. (The images produced by
this system appear to be of very high military-intelligence-resolution
definition, rather than
standard Earth resource exploration resolution.)
This Japanese team recruited the services of an
Australian prospector to help them survive in the outback-and obtain
stereo aerial photography over the Exmouth Tx site.
This request was queried by Canberra, but they allowed
the sale of these photos when he notified Canberra that they were for
oil exploration.
The prospector noted the Japanese team's interest not
only in outback geology but in the Exmouth, Laverton, Alice
Springs (Pine Gap) and Longreach OTHR Tx sites (planned or
constructed).
It would appear that certain powers in Japan viewed
these locations as dangerous and in need of urgent covert
intelligence-gathering. They were most likely alerted to
these OTHR systems by the Russian KGB.
This intelligence and spying scenario probably also
explains the many lone Japanese motorcyclists who, from
1990 to the present, have been mapping the entire system of
WA/NT outback bush tracks at 1:50,000 scale on Mitsui
Corporation satellite imagery (searching for other hidden
US-Australian defence bases?).
Similar reasoning could explain the strange Japanese
"desert greening" research being conducted in the eastern Goldfields.
Could this work be a cover for field
instrumentation emplacement across the region for observing
the Laverton OTHR EM weapon system and any Exmouth Tx field
emissions? Remember Hayakawa's research at Osaka University
in "Greening Technology", i.e., EM weapons?
US SURPRISE AT "GROUND ZERO" CALCULATIONS
The US Senate inquiry under Senator Sam Nunn sent my
early 1995 Banjawarn fireball incident report to the Incorporated
Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). IRIS is
charged with developing US seismological methods and technology to
search for violations of the United Nations nuclear test-ban treaty
using chains of seismograph receivers located around the world.
IRIS has published a preliminary report by Gregory van
der Vink et. al., suggesting that although this Banjawarn
incident in many ways resembles a clandestine test scenario, it was
not caused by an explosion (nuclear or otherwise) or a normal quake,
but was probably due to a three-metre iron-nickel meteorite impact.
Van der Vink has been interviewed by (Australian) ABC
radio and continues to propagate the meteorite impact theory in spite
of the lack of any impact crater discovery, the
peculiar evidence from eyewitnesses on the nature of the
fireball flight and its associated events (e.g., the large
orange-red hemisphere structure), and the evidence of
multiple fireball flights along the same track at
Banjawarn-each occurring on different dates/times and
demonstrating very odd, sentient, meteorite behaviour.
Continuing its research, IRIS established the best
possible fix on the 28 May 1993 earthquake epicentre. This brilliant
work was achieved by studying the seismic energy paths from recent
mine blasts at the newly developed Bronzewing
gold-mine (located some 50 kilometres west of Banjawarn).
IRIS recomputed the Banjawarn quake epicentre using new
algorithms deduced from this mine-blast wave-path research,
coupled with input from the seismographic record data provided by the
chain of AGSO (Australian Geological Survey Organisation) receivers.
AGSO data has always shown that the 3.6-3.9
Richter-scale quake epicentre was south of Banjawarn-but with wildly
varying results from three different calculations, due to a lack of
knowledge of the regional seismic wave propagation.
Earlier Leonora-Laverton mine blasts demonstrated errors of
±100 kilometres in standard AGSO algorithms and calculations.
IRIS proudly sent me a map detailing the small
rectangular area that, with 95 per cent confidence, contained the
Banjawarn 28 May '93 quake epicentre. It exactly coincided with the
plan outline of the Laverton-Jindalee Rx (receiver) site.
IRIS was presumably operating on a "need to know" basis
within US Government circles and was unaware of the
existence of this Laverton OTHR Rx site. In fact, I supplied IRIS with
most of its detailed topographic maps of this area, and I had not
included information about the Laverton-Jindalee Rx site as it seemed
irrelevant at the time. This OTHR system consists of a Tx site located
east of Laverton at White Cliffs, and an Rx site west of Laverton,
close to the southern boundary of Banjawarn station. About five per
cent of eyewitnesses to the "Banjawarn Bang" suggested that this Rx
site area, where the fireball exploded into a huge red flare, was
"ground zero".
Most other eyewitnesses placed "ground zero" much further north, so I
discounted these few isolated reports, but I searched this location in
mid-1995 from the air and on the ground-just in case.
The reason for this discrepancy between 95 per cent of
eyewitness evidence of the explosion site and the quake
epicentre calculation remains unexplained at this time. (The five per
cent of eyewitnesses who saw an explosive flare at the Rx site were
present that night with the many other witnesses who observed the
explosion well north of that location.)
At the time of the 28 May '93 "Banjawarn Bang", the
location was virgin bush and just a planned rectangle noted on the
local Mines Department maps-to warn prospectors that no mines could be
allowed in this area due to future OTHR developments.
In mid-1995 whilst flying an aerial search for the
Banjawarn "meteorite crater", I flew over this site and later visited
it on the ground. Bulldozer clearing of bush scrub was in progress
over an area of a few square kilometres.
Unfortunately for IRIS, there was no meteor impact
structure there; nor has one been found anywhere else within 300
kilometres of Banjawarn. The bulldozers were not filling in a crater,
either!
However, one is left with the strong impression that
this site is a very bad place to install an OTHR military
system, possibly due to rare and highly accurate "meteorite
impacts", rapidly evolving exotic "natural" Earth EM events, strangely
coincident earthquakes (in a region where no quake has ever been
recorded since detectors were first set up in 1900), or other alien
phenomena.
Or perhaps someone else knows that it is not just a
radar system but also a projective plasma weapon system, and this
someone sent one of his own EM weapon blasts to hit the target fair
and square at 23.03 hours on 28 May 1993 with a warning: "I can take
out your proposed weapons asset whenever I like."
Perhaps this same someone is responsible for the 1,000+
major fireball events known to have occurred in Australia
over the last four years (right up to 24 June 1997)-100 of
these involving huge aerial explosions of nuclear-bomb-force levels,
and 10 of these involving huge aerial explosions coincident with
medium-power 3.6-4.0 Richter-scale earthquakes (equivalent to 1-2
kilotonnes of TNT explosive).
Who, or what, is that "someone"?
Whatever the source or cause, it is now obvious that
these events pose a severe and rapidly evolving threat to human life
and property. It is only a matter of time before a
modern "fly-by-wire" electronics-controlled airliner is brought down
by a ray-wave field coupling with onboard electronics.
Ground or air-burst explosions or induced earthquakes obviously
threaten many "ground zero" deaths if any of these events occur within
a built-up area. Unfortunately, it appears we have to wait for a
fireball event to destroy Canberra before any government action will
occur. We probably won't have to wait too long!
