CME, Aurora Borealis and an uptick in "weird"

 

  Yesterday, at work, someone made a comment about everyone being a bit crazy lately. At least

more than usual.

 The night before I had read about the solar storm hitting this week so I made mention that it's possible

that it's messing with people's minds, like the full moon does to "lunatics".

I was surprised to see this post from BCE talking about the same thing. It would be interesting

to go back and see if there is any data from previous CME's and the effect on how the public reacts.

Have any of you noticed any slight changes lately?

  2. There was a story on this yesterday @spaceweather.com about aurora's being seen as far south as San Diego. I just went there to get a link, but the story is no longer up. There is this story about aurora's being photo'd at/near Big Bear from the same event: https://www.yahoo.com/news/geomagnetic-storm-causes-northern-lights-182016402.html

    ...and there's another one coming. Read para 2: https://spaceweather.com/

    So, based on the title premise of this article, It's gonna be a crazy week.

    Maybe the CME is what prompted Fox to can Tucker!?! ;-))

  3. Sunday night they had to shut down multiple precion directional drilling rigs because a side effect of the cme was gps systems where giving erroneous readings. Not enough you would notice in your car bur enough they couldnt dril.

    I woke up sunday night and could not get back to sleep till after 3am. Which for my area i found out corresponded to the high point of the electronagnetic storm.

  4. I've been having some issues this week. After my head injury, barometric pressure is a stone cold bitch. Cold fronts play merry hob with me. Hard to explain, but it's like I've only had three hours of sleep after a rough day. But this week has been a little different. Doesn't look like the K Index matches the symptoms. But with the warning, I'll keep better notes.

  5. Although I didn't personally see the Aurora some folks here in the Western North Carolina mountains have said they've seen the phenomenon over the last weekend.

  7. All geomagnetic storms are not the same. The one that's coming is looking to be the weakest category, G1, while the one on the 24th peaked at G4 on a scale of 1 to 5. A G1 isn't going to have the same affects on "crazy" as a G4.

    It takes a high G5 for auroras to be visible along the southern tier of states. If the crazy was really tied to the geomagnetic storm, people would be full-tilt crazy in New England while people in the south were unaffected.

      I've been saying this for years now; look at Massachusetts.

    2. Satcom service calls because of sunspot activity with customers who did not have a service agreement or were in warranty was often a welcome thing. It allowed us to do a systems check, service, and educate the customers who did not have a true Satcom operator.

    3. @SiGraybeard How long has it been since you've interacted with any Yankees? Up in the northeast, those Yankees are batshit, howl at the moon crazy. I know. Some of them are my in-laws.

  8. Local news says I should be able to see it. It's always been on my bucket list. Unfortunately it's been cloudy and raining off and on for 3 days and area's desperately need it.

    Heard one factual story yesterday that wheat crop insurance was paid in the heart of prime country in my state so get ready people the bread for the circuses is going to jump beyond the money printing inflation.

  9. a youtuber I follow is in alaska right now, and he said one of the reason he's there is to film the lights..

  10. I doubt the increase in crazy can be attributed to solar patterns. I would guage crazy on the number of entitlements the government hands out. Seems to be some correlation there, especially if you go back to the 1960's.

  11. “…messing with people's minds, like the full moon does to "lunatics".”

    My dad worked at a VA hospital for patients with, how shall we say, psych issues. He said that indeed there was more weird than usual during a full moon, but only if the patients could see it.

    As to CME’s, they are electromagnetic, and one shouldn’t have to see their effects on the environment for one to see a spike of screwball behavior, and other effects important to survival of an ancient agricultural society. Here’s an interesting video on the topic.

    What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not! You're no crazier than the average asshole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it.

  13. Odd thing happened to me a couple of days ago…
    I was waiting at a stoplight when my car seemed to stutter. At the same moment the entire setting around us seemed to dim for the briefest moment without a cloud in the sky. “Weird”, I thought, and asked my wife if she had noticed anything. But, of course, Instagram was the distraction of the moment.
    I immediately thought “solar”.
    And now this.
    Weird.

  14. I’ve seen the lights in North Texas.

  15. Sir,
    I am sure you know what the Aurora are (interactions with the global EM field). Briefly, that field is decaying as part of a much longer cycle of change, and so the lights will be seen further and further south as the field is bent more readily under the pressure from the solar wind stream. While beautiful, these are indications that the EM field is decaying precipitously, and for that reason I do not find them beautiful. Instead, it is terrfying, because one day within our lifetimes that field strength will finally fall below the threshold needed to protect us from various kinds of solar radiation, and the game will be afoot.
    Have you noticed the colour of the sun in the last year or so? Less yellow, more white?
    Some years ago, research was done regarding the effects of changing mag field strength and distribution on the human brain. This was done at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, by a guy named Dr Michael Persinger. Short version is, changing those parameters will result in all kinds of aberrant behaviours and effects, from alien abduction memories to psychotic reactions to past-life regressions.
    It would seem that the EM field has a profound effect on us, and thus its decay will equally affect our lives. We call it 'The Insanity', and we have noted the correlation between increasingly irrational behaviour and the ongoing collapse process of the EM field. Should these curves continue, and we suspect they will, you can imagine a scenario where a majority of people are not rational, acting crazy, and easily engaging in violence over the most inconsequential things...
    Eating ze bugs is the least of our worries. There is a much larger backdrop against which all this social engineering is taking place. It explains why the elites are building bunkers and why their efforts to control us are so half-assed; they know it's not going to work out. Keeping us distracted during these preliminary stages, when we need each other more than at any other time in our history, keeps us from panicking and getting the way of their preparations.
    This is the short, short version.

  16. Mom was a dispatcher for the PD in Tecumseh, Ok. They had one permanent stoplight and a stop sign on a a wheel they rolled out when the school kids had lunch. She said she could watch the number of calls increase, sure,but the Reason for the calls was weird, too.

  19. Today and yesterday, the customers have been extra weird to the point of being unbalanced, trying to argue silly shit about repairs, why is the price of oil filters so high, etc..................

  20. I did my PhD studying geomagnetic storms.
    The only paper I could find claims they don't directly affect crime, but was very limited in it's methods: https://journals.sfu.ca/seemj/index.php/seemj/article/view/102
    However, based on discussions I had with older colleagues, I think most studies about this sort of thing were done in the USSR during the cold war, and therefor not easily accessible in the west.

  21. We need CederQ to chime in here, he's been in the belly of the Beast - both clinical and psych wards.

    What say you, Kevin?
