Mysterious "UFO lights," known as "ground lights" or "earthquake lights," sometimes appear before or during earthquakes and take a number of forms, including spheres of light orbs floating through air. The mysterious "UFO lights" may occur at rifts or nearly vertical faults as the crystalline structure of the magmatic stones, subjected to intense pressure, releases electrical energy.
          Some have confused the globular luminous air masses with UFOs. For instance, seconds before the 2009 L'Aquila, Italy, earthquake struck, pedestrians saw 10cm high flames of light flickering above the Francesco Crispi Avenue in the town's historical city center. In 1988 a bright purple-pink globe of light moved through the sky along the St. Lawrence River near the city of Quebec, Canada, 11 days before a powerful quake.
          Scientists said the "earthquake lights" are more likely to occur on or near a rift, an elongated depression in the Earth's crust bounded on both sides by normal faults.
          Stress-activated mobile electronic charge carriers, termed positive holes, flow swiftly along stress gradients. Upon reaching the surface, they ionize air molecules and generate the observed light.
          "Earthquake lights as a pre-earthquake phenomenon, in combination with other types of parameters that vary prior to seismic activity, may one day help forecast the approach of a major quake," said Robert Thiriault, Geologist of the Ministry of Natural Resources in Quebec.

         The following is a letter to the editor that appeared in the Reedsburg (Wis.) Independent last May 2, 2013.

         Monday, April 29 was the beginning of Citizen Hearings on Disclosure (CHD) at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Following is a direct quote from the CHD Web site:
         "The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure will attempt to accomplish what the U.S. Congress has failed to do for forty-five years -- seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time.

         "Witnesses will include the top researchers in the world along with government/agency/political persons of rank and station."
         Last week's premiere of Sirius was probably just a prelude to the CHD. The movie was about the UFO coverup. Okay, now people can start giggling, grinning and smirking if they wish.
         Why might CHD be important to our small, insignificant city and county? The relevance is easy to see when the dots are connected. Those who might find this subject not worthy of their time are those who fit into the category of "don't bother me with the facts -- I've already made up my mind." Start with credible testimony, written and oral, from respected individuals instead of the Jeff Foxworthy "you might be a redneck" stereotypes.
         Disclosure of explorers and ambassadors from off-planet civilizations would lead to the obvious question, "How are they getting here?" The answer would naturally lead to the emergence of New Energy that has been suppressed for nearly a century already. The conspiracy, many believe, was never about that people could not handle the truth about Space Brothers, but rather that the Powers That Were could not handle the end of financial tyranny. The dots have been connected from ending the use of oil, coal and nuclear to resulting in the end of the Federal Reserve and the end of fractional banking.
         What happens when energy becomes abundant and non-polluting? How much will food, transportation, utilities or anything cost now? How many hours does one need to work to survive, thrive, and retire? How much cleaner would the air, water and soil be? Life would be more than "good," would it not? There is a downside, though. The IRS, Wall Street, and international banks and wars for oil could end. Maybe that is what is meant by a "threat to National Security"? Everyone and everything is happier and healthier, except for the elite few that neither produce nor contribute anything of value to humanity.
