Three of Four Clovis Sites radioactive according to Haynes et. al.

I’m reading the recent Vance Haynes paper and there is much on which to comment.  But this caught my eye and I just had to share. Haynes et. al. took the surprising step of analyzing the sediment profile above and below the layer where the last of the first Clovis indians are found — for radiation.   At three of the four sites there was a distinct and inexplicable peak in radiation…

Just Published: Independents locate ET Black Mat and more in Venezuela

An international team of scientists representing a number of disciplines locate bizarre materials and ET impact markers in a distinct layer of well-dated sediments from the initiation of the Younger Dryas and publish their findings in a major scientific journal.  2007 Firestone et.al. in PNAS? Nope.  W.C. Mahaney et. al. Geomorphology — March 2010. In a total surprise to me (and I think…

AGU Fall Meeting Re-Cap Part Two: Tom Stafford's Texas Hill Country Paleo site littered with ET evidence at start of Younger Dryas

Guest Blog: Hermann Burchard on Siberian Hot Spot Tracks

From Hermann Burchard: This note is a summary of aspects of Siberian geology as far as I have been able to gather relevant facts, occasioned in part by and meant to correct errors in what I heard on a TV program dealing with the Siberian traps [“Earth’s Deadliest Eruption,” Feb 9, History Channel, AETN, affiliated with British Sky Broadcasting, often runs programs from…

Firestone's response to Paquay and Surovell papers blogged -- Stafford, Sharma and Courty left out of discussion

Little Bird Update: A little bird called me to make a couple of points related to my blog last night regarding the (limited) Firestone  quotes provided at Anthro.net. 1)  Rick  apparently used “we” inappropriately when claiming Surovell was biased. Other YD team members do not think Surovell was biased — and surely not malignly biased to the extent he would deliberately…

Material found in bogs suggests cosmic relation to historic climate downturns

Wow.  I tossed up an oldish link to an abstract by Lars Franzen — and today Lars sends me a nice note with a more recent article attached.  Until I hear otherwise I am sharing it. Absolutely facinating.  Lars’ paper shows a link between abrubt climate change and cosmic material.  He doesn’t speculate too heavily on the precise nature of the cosmic flux — could be little…

German researchers have found those same pesky nanodiamond encrusted Carbon Spherules

Sometimes it seems the YDB team is treated as though they are the only researchers who are finding these interesting little orbs.  I don’t know if that is because the critics are ignorant of the other research, or just giving things a spin.  Fact is, more than one group unrelated to and certainly not in collaboration with the YDB folks are finding the same things.  Note the German…
