Where Did Red Dust Come From? [Dec 16] http://www.channel3000.com/news/2709497/detail.html ‘National Weather Service officials have identified where mysterious red dirt in Wisconsin was coming from - New Mexico. The red, clayish dirt started showing up on cars in the Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Waukesha counties during Tuesday morning´s rain.’ [and from another source] Dust fuels red alert in Houston [Dec 17] http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2301294 ‘Houstonians woke to a red dawn Tuesday, thanks to a fast-moving cold front and a West Texas dust storm. A swarm of rust-colored sand caught an express flight from the High Plains to the Gulf Coast courtesy of the weather system that also brought a new round of chilly temperatures to Southeast Texas.’ [Note: this is what the news reported.]

This morning [Dec 16] in northern Illinois I was completely taken aback when we were going to get into our car and it was completely showered in what it looked like mud at a distance, so did all the cars on the lot. After I scraped it with my fingertip I realized that it looked more like the oxidation that settles on iron after you get it wet, I was really taken aback. My girlfriend even cracked a sarcastic joke about the end of the world. [and from another source] I live in central Arkansas and am plagued by red clay-everywhere. I have lived here since 1974. And have never awoke to such deep red dust (from rain) everywhere. This crap is thick and sticky and very red. It is hard to wash off. Very unusual for our area. Much talk at my corporation about the weirdness of it. [and from another source] Here in East Texas, on Monday night everyone from Texarkana to Jefferson had their cars covered in a greyish-red dust, apparently followed by a brief rainfall. It looked as if everyone had driven through the same mudhole repeatedly, it was that bad. I have samples of it, I am unsure what it is for certain but it is not soil, it has an unusual appearance under magnification. [and from another source] We got a red muddy rain here yesterday [Dec 16] in western Michigan. It rained red from Kalamazoo to Muskegon. [Note: this is what was reported by individuals.]

San Francisco red dust? Is this red dust too? It looks dusty dirty, not just red lit up clouds?

[Note: if this is dust from New Mexico and Texas, how did it get into the San Francisco skyline on Dec 16, not there previously on Oct 29, Nov 25, Nov 25 again, Nov 27, but incoming by Dec 4. Was the wind blowing west as well as east?]

This morning 15 of us were outside having a smoke break [Dec 17] in Bend, Oregon, and was watching the Sun rise. A small orange-red sun appeared first. We decided that it was to small to be the actual Sun. Someone grabbed some binoculars from his rig and we all took turns looking at this thing. It had a Tail. We all said the same thing. This is a comet! Pretty large for a comet, bigger then any I´ve seen in the past. 10x larger then Hale-Bopp. 5 minutes later the real Sun broke the plane and this comet faded from view. I don´t know how high on the horizon it appeared 5 mins before the Sun, so I´d say it was just over the horizon 10-15 degrees. We couldn´t believe what we just saw. We were all speechless. Then the discussion began of why this isn´t being reported on any major or local media. [and from another poster] I and my wife saw the same thing here in Yakima Washington on our way to work this morning, some of our co-workers saw it too. [and from another poster] I saw the same thing here in PA last week. At first glance I thought it was a comet but then thought that it was a jet with a short contrail. It was orange and vanished as the sun rose. When I saw it it was not as large as Hale Bopp but that was about 10 days ago or so. [and from another poster] I saw something very similiar last week here in Fargo.

According to the USGS, the latest update for Yellowstone earthquakes is: ‘Wed Dec 17 6:00:02 MST 2003, which is 13:00:02 UT’ according to the following site: http://www.seis.utah.edu/recenteqs/Maps/111-45.html This means they are 11 hours 4 minutes late in reporting the earthquake swarm that hit Yelloswtone on Wed Dec 17 at 1:58 UT. These earthquakes can be seen at: http://quake.utah.edu/helicorder/heli/yellowstone/Uuss.YML_EHZ_WY.2003121600.gif It´s worse if you include the earthquakes that occurred at 15:50 and 22:05 on the 16th. http://quake.utah.edu/helicorder/heli/yellowstone/Uuss.YMR_SHZ_WY.2003121600.gif For an area under as much scrutiny as Yellowstone, this is totally uncomprehensible.

I live in SE Michigan. Since late October I have observed a white object over the sun. At first, it may be mistaken for a Full Moon. But I see it between 1:00 and 3:00 PM. The only time that it is visible is when the Sun is covered by clouds and the object is in an opening in the clouds. This object is completely round and white. As the Sun is coming from behind the clouds the object is illuminated by the Sun to the point that you can not diffentiate it from the Sun. At this time the Sun looks bigger and brighter than I have ever seen it in my life. Also, just before sunrise the sky around the Sun is so red and there is an object rising a few minutes before the Sun, but if it is cloudy you can not see it. After watching this object for a month I could not take being the only one to observe it. I pointed it out to a complete stranger and asked her what she thought it was and she said ‘it's that time of the year when you could see the Moon during the day’. The only problem is that the Sun and the Moon should be opposite each other in the sky not the moon above (next to) each other. I have shared this information with over 100 people who have seen what I see and the majority agree.
