120 dead elk found near mysterious crop circle in northern New Mexico

          As reported on Sept. 17 from the Web site http://altereddimensions.net, here is something really strange not too far from home ...
         Game and Fish investigators found 120 dead elk carcasses near a mysterious crop circle near Las Vegas, New Mexico on Aug. 26, 2013. The animals were found about 20 miles north of Las Vegas and a few hundred yards south of the crop circle. All of the animal carcasses were found within a single square mile of ranch land and authorities noted that the deaths seemed to have happened overnight. None of the animal carcasses bore any visible wounds.

         Biologists have collected water and tissue samples for testing, but experts noted that it is doubtful that disease was the cause of the mysterious deaths since infectious disease would have to run its course many times before such a large number of animals would die. In addition, disease would not result in the animals all dying in such close proximity to each other. No other die-offs have been reported in New Mexico this year.

         
ISS captures UFO

          The International Space Station (ISS) photograph taken by an Expedition 13 crew member of the Aurora Borealis took this amazing photo of a UFO flying through space. The UFO craft appears to be using some type of cloaking device. The caption on the photo taken by NASA is: ISS013-E-69634 (20 Aug. 2006).

Fukushima Disaster Worsens

         Japan has raised the severity level at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to its worst point in two years. The move comes one day after the plant's operator said about 300 tons of water contaminated with high levels of radiation have leaked from a storage tank and will likely seep into the ocean, reportedly the worst such leak to date.
         Mr. Mycle Schneider, who is lead author for the World Nuclear Industry status reports, "It is leaking out from the basements; it is leaking out from the cracks all over the place, it is much worse than we have been led to believe, much worse. The leakage is coming from five ruptured parts of the containment housing."
         "Allegedly the US Navy is moving ships in the Sea of Japan -- due to the increased radioactivity in sea water -- you know it's a major, major issue!" comments George Filer.
         At a news conference, the head of Japan's nuclear regulation authority, Shunichi Tanaka, appeared to give credence to Mr. Schneider's concerns, saying that, "I fear there will be further leaks. We should assume that what has happened once could happen again, and prepare for more. We are in a situation where there is no time to waste," he told reporters.
         The lack of clarity about the water situation and the continued attempts by Tepco to deny that water was leaking into the sea has irritated many researchers. Dr. Ken Buesseler is a senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who has examined the waters around Fukushima.
         "It is not over yet by a long shot. Chernobyl was in many ways a one week fire-explosive event, nothing with the potential of this right on the ocean. We've been saying since 2011 that the reactor site is still leaking, whether that's the buildings and the groundwater or these new tank releases. There's no way to really contain all of this radioactive water on site.
         "Once it gets into the groundwater, like a river flowing to the sea, you can't really stop a groundwater flow. You can pump out water, but how many tanks can you keep putting on site?"
         Several scientists also raised concerns about the vulnerability of the huge amount of stored water on site to another earthquake.
         Groundwater is also running down from the surrounding hills and mixes with radioactive water leaking out of the reactors and then leaches into the sea. "Our biggest concern right now is if some of the other isotopes, such as strontium 90, gets through to the ocean. They are entering the oceans at levels that then will accumulate in seafood that feeds millions of people and will cause new health concerns," said Dr. Buesseler.
         There are also worries about the spent nuclear fuel rods that are being cooled and stored in water pools on site. Mycle Schneider says these contain far more radioactive caesium than was emitted during the explosion at Chernobyl.
"There is absolutely no guarantee that there isn't a crack in the walls of the spent fuel pools. If salt water gets in, the steel bars would be corroded. It would basically explode the walls, and you cannot see that; you can’t get close enough to the pools," he said.
         A letter to the UN secretary general, Mitsuhei Murata, says the official radiation figures published by Tepco cannot be trusted. He says he is extremely worried about the lack of a sense of crisis in Japan and abroad. This view is shared by Mycle Schneider, who is calling for an international taskforce for Fukushima.
         "The Japanese have a problem saving face and asking for help. It is a big mistake; they badly need it." Thanks to BBC and Greg Dempsey. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23779561
