Re: Magnetic Northpole shifted 15 degrees in 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used my compas and noticed the magnetic northpole shifted 15 degrees in 3 hours to the east!!!! What on Earth is happening here ???
 Quoting: PhillSmoker

Checking... nope, nothing's happening – except OP is either bullshiting or hallucinating.

Have to admit though that the brass is so shiny on the dial that it is very hard for me to read the tiny little degree marks. Using a flashlight makes it even worse. For a minute there I thought it said 17 degrees to the North East.

Same here ... strange thing is ... sometimes it points to a whole other direction. I keep on seeing shift in a radius of about 15 degrees in a time interval of a few hours. So it can be that you look at the compas and you see nothing changed, but 2 or 3 hours laters, you can see it shifted about 15 degrees. Please keep checking the compas for a few hours and see if you have the same effect.

For once, I pick up my compass and the OP is finally right.


It is off.......

Let's pin this please. Let's have a bunch of people checking their compas and see what differences we get and where they happen. Maybe the magnetic field of the Earth is very active, causing the volcanoes, big earthquakes and extreme weather.

Re: Magnetic Northpole shifted 15 degrees in 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!
This compass of mine is really old and has a mirror on the inside cover as you open it up with a brass pointer sticking up which you are supposed to align with a fine line on the mirror. I do not no what this is for. There is also some sort of movable square inside of it which you can swing around from one 90 degree mark to another, which I also do not know what it is for. On top of this movable square is a little bubble level like in a builders level. Next to this is a little round level circle with a little bubble ball in it. I have put the compass down on a table and have tried to level the bubble in the regular level to stay in the middle with match covers and a razor blade. I am afraid to say that the reading now is much worse that the one I gave you before. The compass is also under a good light now. The commpass now says it is 30 to 31 degress to the magnetic north now. Perhaps someone here can tell me how to use the little square thing that you can move back and for for 180 degrees. Also on the top of the compass is iscribed something called the natural sine numbers whic I also do not know what they are for.

I took my spherical kerosene filled hiking compass that I bought at Walmart in North Vernon eons ago, and I went outside and it pointed in the normal direction.

You ought to be more careful to check the facts.

I think you checked he compass inside the house. I did that at first but I knew I was near some aaa batteries, andthat is whI went otside.

You used to be a smarter man, Phillip K. Dick.

Why don't you write some more stories, we'll give you some excellent IQ increasing drugs, like gold clhoride and other for instance. I basically read everything you wrote, particularly the collected stories i the Indianapolis Library.

step away from the metal objects.....
 Quoting: saintk 1405324

I did ... i put it at exactly the same spot as I did 3 hours ago. I put my compas on the floor exactly the same spot as 3 hours ago. Should I be concerned?
 Quoting: PhillSmoker


Is your floor wood or contrete? Because the rebar in the crete will throw it off, and so would nails. Best to take it outside and place it on a stump or rock. Then let it SIT STILL

Same thing here in Omaha Nebraska!I checked it yesterday pm because the sun looked to be setting North!Compass pointed W for the sun and North on the compass loomed more like it was pointing to what I have known for years as ENE!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I think it's concrete. Can that makes the needle move by itself? If so ... case closed lol.

Re: Magnetic Northpole shifted 15 degrees in 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's believed to be this way during a pole shift... There would be lots of mini poles they say during the shift. So we are in a pole shift. Even tho it's slow now, it has been speeding up, and once it reaches a certain point, it will break into several poles. That's whey you know it's about to flop!! At least that's what I've read, and how I understood it...

A good way to test this is to do this:

Find a nice rock, outline the compass on it with a marker, next make a line to where north is. Then come back and compare it at random times. This should give you a better idea of how fast it's changing and or moving.
A few years ago, they said the N pole was moving around 1 km a year. Now it's over 40 km a year. So we ARE headed into a pole shift. If it's slow all the way, we're good to go, if it happens faster, then we are doomed because the shields will go down for a bit. Gamma rays would rain down and burn the heck out of a lot of the earth. Maybe all of it. Keep an eye on it man, I'll check back to give advice, but I don't know it all. :-)

Re: Magnetic Northpole shifted 15 degrees in 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will you let us know if it appears to be a more pronounced wobble?

A shift in any direction will eventually become "an equal and opposite" compensation. Are wobbling more than normal?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1424609

Well, now it's normal again ... dont' know if this is usual behaviour .... I checked my compas 3 hours ago ... it pointed North ok ... Recently I check and it was 15 degrees off .... after half an hour I checked again and it was normal again ... any explanation for this?
 Quoting: PhillSmoker




it's been doing that off and on for several months

so expect more of same

mine shifted ten t0 fifteen degrees but it went from east to west then back, then back to the west again.

PNW here

it has been hanging at around (descriptor being clock hands) ten after the hour or midnight (to the east of straight up)

now it's at about 5 till midnight - to the west of straight up

I've been watching it for months. It has been doing this intermittently. Not steady at all.

I had to change my sleeping direction and meditation direction because of the further shift of the pole i observed yesterday.

I really hate to step into this but my husband and I had our compass out last night and noticed the same thing. I checked this morning and it's more normal again but not totally.

And he's a vet, he knows how to use a compass for anyone about to say that it was us.

There is no doubt here that something is happening.
