Storms were well east of the Little Rock, Arkansas radar when the mysterious anomalies began to appear. Four times between 9pm, December 31st and 1am on January 1, these circular radar echoes popped up on NEXRAD Doppler radar, expanding outward and then fading away. All in about 15 to 20 minutes. What's more, each time, these anomalies developed in the exact same spot: over Beebe, Arkansas. |

Satellites have to AVOID the South Atlantic Anomaly -- [link to en.wikipedia.org] . The South Atlantic Anomaly is not due to a 'crack' in the magnetosphere. Had you read the link you posted, you would see that its due to the magnetic field contracting and bringing the radiation belts closer to the earth, not some crack. The radiation belts themselves are caused by charged particles being trapped in the field lines of the magnetosphere. The fluctuations you are talking about are not cracks or breaks or anything akin to them, they are simply weaker spots. You could think of the magnetosphere as paint, and in some spots the paint is not as thick as in other spots, which allows more light (or in this case, radiation) through. |

I Read it. Extremely interesting - especially this part: In 1961, Dr. Jim Dungey of the Imperial College, United Kingdom, predicted that cracks might form in the magnetic shield when the solar wind contained a magnetic field that was oriented in the opposite direction to a portion of the Earth's field. In these regions, the two magnetic fields would interconnect through a process known as "magnetic reconnection," forming a crack in the shield through which the electrically charged particles of the solar wind could flow. (Image 2 illustrates the crack formation, and Animation 1 shows how solar wind particles flow through the crack by following invisible magnetic field lines.) In 1979, Dr. Goetz Paschmann, of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Germany, detected the cracks using the International Sun Earth Explorer (ISEE) spacecraft. However, since this spacecraft only briefly passed through the cracks during its orbit, it was unknown if the cracks were temporary features or if they were stable for long periods. |

I posted here on GLP about it but it got little notice. A local weatherman saw these radar images and posted a video of them. He thought it was the flock of birds itself being picked up on radar. Go to www.katv.com and click weather and go to the weather blog. Scroll down to find the videos. I posted a thread about it on GLP called "Dead birds in Arkansas". |
