THEY are the digital-age equivalent of crop circles - mysterious patterns appearing on the Bureau of Meteorology's national radar system without any explanation.

And the random images described as red stars, rings of fire and white doughnuts are sending online conspiracy websites into meltdown.

The anomalies first began on January 15 when an "iced doughnut" appeared over Kalgoorlie in WA.

Interference or something else? Tell us in the comment box below.

Satellite imagery showed there was no cloud over the area at the time to explain the unusual phenomenon but farmers' online comments claimed it was "unusually hot" all day.

It was followed by a bizarre red star over Broome on January 22 and a sinister spiral burst over Melbourne described by amateur radar buffs as the Ring Of Fire Fault.

The Bureau, which did not respond to repeated requests for comment, has acknowledged the anomalies on its popular website.

It has since posted a disclaimer above the national loop feed putting the images down to "occasional interference to the radar data".

"The Bureau is currently investigating ways to reduce these interferences," the disclaimer said.

Conspiracy websites, however, have lit up with dozens of breathless theories behind the strange anomalies from alien involvement, secret military testing to government weather modification.

One theory gaining traction online is the belief the US military has expanded its High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.

Based at a remote research station in Alaska, the HAARP project involves shooting extremely high frequency radar bursts into the upper reaches of the atmosphere to see what happens after particles of the ionosphere are temporarily excited.

Ostensibly the research is to study the effects of solar flares on radio communications and improve missile detection and navigation systems.

But, unlike the failed cloud seeding experiments of yesteryear, conspiracy theorists claim HAARP is engaged in a sophisticated form of weather modification and that testing is also being done from a secret facility near Exmouth in Western Australia.

UK electrical engineer and crop circle expert Colin Andrews said Australians deserve an explanation.

"Until [the Bureau of Meteorology] make a formal and complete response to all the various strange patterns, one can only speculate about what is taking place," he said.

Mr Andrews urged people concerned by the bizarre radar symbols and strange weather patterns to contact the Bureau of Meteorology or a government representative.

Another theory suggests the anomalies appear before major weather events such as cyclones Olga and Paul and the violent storms which hit Victoria in recent weeks.

Others argue objects in the atmosphere emitting powerful radiation could be behind the mystery.

A workmate linked me this

Another one.

The circular rings on the east coast. A sharp line that appears above it, and to the left.

Above it, the specks that make out hte rough shape of a dohnut, and again where the origional big dohnut was, down the far bottom west coast the specks are there again as well, also in the rough shape of a dohnut.

Here is also another intersting link

I have run this past one of my people and they seem to think that the solid circle is a Dethoxian ship and that the spiral one seems to be a Verzalian shipship. Take it for what it's worth. My guy hasn't been wrong yet. Do not let this scare you. I have been told they are not the enemy. I actually met one of them and they are very well mannered, for them. A little scarry looking, but good sense of humor.

The ring of fire on Melbourne..
It was a scorching weekend and then this week its going to be temperature all above 30

AN experiment?

The Dethoxian ship and the Verzalian ship would each be about 1,000 miles across.

So I'm very glad they're not the enemy. :)

Dear JOurney,

Could you/would you elaborate more on this subject please...if and when you come back
Thank you

[ponda]

An oddity that i have observed from watching the BOM radar images of Australia over several years is that there is almost always cloud/rain radar images over Woomera.

Woomera is in the desert area of South Oz yet when ever i check the radar image there is cloud cover or rain over that area.This area used to house a long range missile test site and a spacecraft tracking facility.

Quote from: http://www.woomera.com.au/index.htm

"Today, the Woomera Test Range in South Australia is a strategic defence asset used mainly for aerospace test and evaluation activities. It remains the largest land-based range in the world and hosts a wide spectrum of ground, air and space activities for Australian and international government and commercial organisations."

Here is the constantly updating BOM radar image of Woomera:

Hi JOurney, thanks for that. Are you in a position to let us know what a Dethoxian and Verzalian ship is, what line of work are "my people" in. I am taking a quantum leap in assumption that this is not a meteorlogical phenomona?
Are you in a position to describe to us your alien meeting, when did it occur, how it came about and what discussed was the speech verbal or telepathic. What was the race and what did they physically look like?

I would be one of the nosiest people here by the way;)

I wonder if this is part of the underground network??

[blufire]

What I find fascinating is Carol posted this April 2010. So these massive ships appeared almost a year ago and now Australia is experiencing insane weather.

Why would two friendly visitors be over this area?? Is the resulting weather just a phenomenon created by their presence in our atmosphere or is it for other reasons?

Thank you Bill for the affirmation.

This stuff makes my brain hurt.

Good question witchy.

I don't really know what might cause this.I first noticed this anomaly several years ago and every time i check the radar image there is rain or cloud cover there.This area is still used for classified space activities etc.

[Mike Gorman]

How do you know this, or is this an in-joke a'-la Douglas Adams?

[000]

This is something I know a small bit about technically. It looks as if these are doppler radar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar) images. Doppler does circular sweep scans by 'pinging' the surrounding atmosphere with microwaves and the returned/reflected signal determines the density of any particulate in the atmosphere. Different densities of reflection are translated to certain colours by computer and display what precipitation, if any, is in range of the radar. Now usually when a radar goes non-operational, it just won't show anything at all on the map, so these things are likely not non-operational radar stations. I suspect they are more likely stations which are online but some kind of interference is causing them to not read back data properly, or they are reading back strong microwave radiation. I would suggest that something in the microwave range of frequencies would be able to compromise the efficacy to send out 'pings' and also to receive them back.

For sure these are not satellite scans which orbit the globe and do linear, visual (usually infrared wavelength), scans. So the part of the hybrid image (these ones contain both radar and satellite) that these circles are a part of is definitely radar. They're not anything that is physically circular but I absolutely suspect they are picking up strong interference within their calibrated frequency range and the data is translated to show a visual which looks circular because the station itself is interfered with and not just picking up anomalous backscatter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter). HAARP-like technology could cause such interference if a radar station was within the area of focused radiation. Because they are not visual on satellite scans, they aren't ships (as cool as that would be to see), but intense microwave interference is plausible.

Here (http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/#map1) is a map of Australia's radar network for reference. Black diamonds = doppler locations.

It was a joke (see below). I was trying to be subtle!


The Dethoxian ship and the Verzalian ship would each be about 1,000 miles across.

So I'm very glad they're not the enemy. :)

Of course those video artifacts are not ships. (If there were 1,000 miles across, someone might have seen them...!)

[Dale]

I have run this past one of my people and they seem to think that the solid circle is a Dethoxian ship and that the spiral one seems to be a Verzalian shipship.

With all intellectual respect, an aircraft with a 1,000 mile diameter would be ridiculously visible by everyone - especially at, or slightly above, cloud level.

These are quite clearly video artifacts caused by varying interferences of the most mundane kind.

[galilava]

I need to put a question here that bothers me today

Does anybody know

if there is anything happening with the magnetic field right now, I mean today

My compass has changed...

(it's not broken, if some may think...)

last time it went crazy , the birds died in America....the same day...

May be somebody with better equipment than a military compass and more professional knowledge can give me a hand on this

Hi,
Strange you should mention about the compass. I bought a new one last week thinking the old one was broken only to find this one giving the same reading.
North seems to have moved towards the east.
Or is something interfering with the reading?

I know the Chile quake last year moved us about 3 degrees, but this wouldn't even come close to explain why I have two compasses both with the same reading & totally pointing in the wrong direction.

Also the position of the moon seems off.

Thank you , Bryn.... ,

That's right mine has moved towards the east too - about 5 min
the day before the birds phenomenon it went 10 min west, then back, then 5 min west and back again ...
I hope somebody may have more to share about this
I will look at the moon tonight
Regards

Well . . . . . I’m horribly embarrassed. :o

Note to self: absolutely no posting until I have had my morning coffee and read each post three times before even thinking about responding

I would like to take this moment first to apologize to you Bill. I know it has to terribly tedious to have to explain your posts to us “greenhorns” who jump the gun and don’t stop to actually think things through and take the time to read clearly. Although, I have never once seen you show irritation or exasperation (with us newbie’s) in your posts. But I bet the fly on the wall may have heard a few interesting exclamations. ;)

I know good and well what your basic stance is on aliens and starships coming to take us away or interfering.

Thank you deeply for all that you have done for so very many. I truly hope you take the time to “fill your own bucket”. Those simple wonderful things that make your soul smile.

Interestingly there has been a tremendous amount of interference in the infrared satellite images of the Intellisat website over the past 6-12 months.I've been observing these sat images on a daily basis for over 10 years and this interference is fairly recent.

[J0urney]

I do apologize. It seems this time he was wrong. No one is perfect. As for my meeting. That did happen. I will elaborate on that in another post. I am still in a lot of pain from these headaches. Again I am sorry for posting wrong information. It was unintentional.

[Come As You Are]

I have very little expertise when it comes to physics, but I'm a big student of Australia's weathermaps, doppler radar viewers and developing weather systems. I live out bush, and have a fairly strong instinctive feel for the weather. Over the last few years, our weather has been erratic to say the least, as has the entire planet's. Some other strange images tend to show up, which are less spectacular than those which started this topic. On the West coast, at an area near Exmouth usually, and on the South East coast, in the vicinity of Bass Strait, at times of unusually intense rainfall and storm cell conditions, peculiar straight lines become intermittently visible. Around these areas, and please don't quote me on this, I am fairly sure that there are situated Australia's only known Extremely Low Frequency antennae. There is one in West Gippsland, nearby to Wilson's promontory, although I think it has been "temporarily decommissioned". Nearby to Exmouth in WA, is where the US army has a major base and naval comms station, supposedly it only utilises VLF, from where it communicates to subs. At Kojarena, WA, Echelon listens in and probably contributes to forums such as this!(If you Google Earth Kojarena WA, you should find a strange, rather isolated, secure compound with a mob of those white domed Pine Gap type thingo's and a considerable mass of permanent structures. They sure have a lot going on, out in the Australian desert!)
Anyway, when the weather is acting up oddly, I check the maps as a matter of course, and they are rather consistent in showing up these funny little straight lines of white, from these two regions. It has been said that Exmouth has HAARP transmission capability. Yesterday, when I checked, sure enough, there they were flashing away in the loop. Might be nothing at all, just radar "irregularities", I do however, find coincidence to be most intriguing!

[Come As You Are]

Just wondering if you are aware that Woomera is very near to the "rainy lands" of Maralinga, which is where Britain tested atomic weapons in the 50's. This land is called the "Woomera Prohibited Area", you can drive through it on the Stuart Highway, but it is recommended that you do not stop. It is genuinely spooky, desolate and eerie, and I kid you not, I have seen very strange, large, hybrid type animal carcasses on the road there, which I have not had the guts to get out and look closely at. Aside from the fact that there are usually mobs of more than 40 or so exceedingly large Wedge Tailed Eagles situated about, which stare at you hungrily as you speed past! Truly scary.
A few years back, whilst driving from Alice Springs to Adelaide, a clear day, we were approaching the Area, and an enormous cloud was visible for approximately an hour and a half, it was disturbingly like a mushroom cloud. I think I have some images of it somewhere, so will do my best to dig them up and post. This area is called "rainy lands" for a reason. You should google Pitjanjatjara People, and "the lands", which is what the area is commonly called. Fascinating, and very sad history.

aus BOM radar has shown strange patterns for some time now,the last 9 months,have been extrodinary,i am in north central victoria we grow fruit the weather conditions are checked on demand,wind pressure,humidity,temp,cloud cover,etc.The radar images to my thinking suggest harrp, Come as you are ,i have seen the same things from the same sites you mention,if you look at what has occured in oz in our crop lands ,WA,QLD,VIC so far regions that produce major % of our fresh fruit and veg , do we want to eat greatwall brand, DDT,mabe grown in black water, food shotage is here .the game is on

[Come As You Are]

I'm in the Wimmera, near the Grampians, and we sure get some most unusual cloud progressions here, among a multitude of other very peculiar unexplainable phenomena. The game does seem to be well and truly on, and I must say, more so than ever, in the last few weeks in particular, I have had the feeling, and thoughts that something BIG is brewing. If it could get any BIGGER than what is going on right now. The weather pattern yesterday was spectacular. It was like a highway or corridor of relatively normal conditions, walled in on either side by extreme events. The strident demarcation was unnatural to my mind.
In about June or July of last year, I had a powerful vision and feeling within, as I was driving along near home, that I should get a team together to build an ark in my home paddock. When I pulled into my driveway, a rock was in the middle of it, which had not been there when I left, an hour or so earlier. It was the shape and form of what I would conceive a perfect ark, with an integrated rudder/ keel and a sloping deck. I was impressed to say the least! I have the rock on my combustion stove. I used to build wooden boats many years ago, so kind of put the happening away at the back of my mind, but now I am starting to wonder if there isn't more to it!
Any volunteers!?
Certainly are exciting times.
