Anonymous Coward User ID: 8547422 United States 03/26/2013 09:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can not indipendantly verify but I will tell you what I know. Quoting: Switchblade I have a Friend that's Stationed at Base Borneo in the high Arctic, nothing special, just works for a tour company that takes people to the pole. he just called me to see if I could get any information for him about what is happening. "All of our radios are down, and we saw a huge flash from Russia, fallowed by a deep growling sound coming from the ice around ten minutes later." any ideas? all radios are down but his phone works. nice He already said "satellite phone" douchebag, which is all they would use from the North Pole. Derp. yea derpina, you know tv and satellite radio work through satellites aswell right?! its not like they have antennas to receive radio, as they are on the pole. derp anyways: Yes, but he didn't say tv or sat radio, I think he's referring to radio communications. What might cause that? an EMI, or electromagnetic interference. Remember the recent posts regarding strange things going on with the magnetosphere here on Earth? Thread: Look at Earth's magnetosphere go to shit. |

That explains both the sound and EM disruption of radio waves, and yes it's believable that it could be felt in that base, because the radio waves are traveling better on sea than land. why would russia need to test nukes. |

DogEye User ID: 31976295 United States 03/26/2013 10:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why are these threads pinned without any facts? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35333887 I just emailed my cousin who is working at the arctic and he said nothing unusual has happened there its quiet as normal so stop this bullshit! the arctic isn't a SMALL place Nice! Very true, I thought the same. I find the most interesting possibility mentioned is that of a meteor - - though that doesn't explain equipment failure, but may not be related. Dunno, am looking forward to seeing what this could be. If you want to run with the big dogs you can't pee like a puppy. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1582540 United States 03/26/2013 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | possible he was looking towards Iceland and not russia, but it looks like nothing from that volcano, no idea at all. he didn't really sound too worried about it, just that it happened and the radios weren't working right or at all. he sounded more concerned when he was explaining the ice. EMP? nuked! Looks like the found that lost nuke in Thule... [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Switchblade (OP) User ID: 35433002 Canada 03/26/2013 10:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When the OP has been gone out of a thread for over an hour, you have to figure the thread is BS. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36426283 or maybe the OP is busy doing something else? Yes I was trying to get through to my mom who is at Thule, no luck getting a hold of her but not due to radio issues or military alertness or anything I would expect for real doom, just because she is out in the field. That said, Thule is a long way away from both Russia and Base Borneo. so I don't know. I'm guessing it was nothing big, but at the same time with shit so close to hitting the fan I wouldn't be too surprised either. Unity is the great goal toward which humanity moves irresistibly. But it becomes fatal, destructive of the intelligence, the dignity, the well-being of individuals and peoples whenever it is formed without regard to liberty, either by violent means or under the authority of any theological, metaphysical, political, or even economic idea. That patriotism which tends toward unity without regard to liberty is an evil patriotism, always disastrous to the popular and real interests of the country it claims to exalt and serve. Often, without wishing to be so, it is a friend of reaction – an enemy of the revolution, i.e., the emancipation of nations and men. -Mikhail Bakunin- |
