Overview
The significant – nay, unprecedented -- weather changes, currently alarming
millions here on Earth, are ultimately part of an overall, mysterious
transformation that is affecting the Sun, a number of other planets and many
of their satellites… all across the solar system.
As noted in Part 1, in this Report we shall be citing specific scientific
papers backing up these “system-wide,” apparently systemic changes --
evidence derived from published, mainstream sources, compiled by researchers
at major institutions, who obviously (from the authors’ own comments)
haven’t themselves fully grasped the magnitude (to say nothing of the
underlying cause) of what they’re seeing… or, why they’re seeing it right
now.
The “cause and effect” of these remarkable planetary transformations, we
believe, is explained by appealing to a new form of Physics -- not yet
embraced by most of mainstream science. In fact, this is an “old Physics” --
once the centerpiece of 19th Century, pre-quantum reality. At its most
fundamental, it is a Physics based on the literal accessibility of “higher
dimensions.”
This “higher dimensional/hyperdimensional” description is not just an
abstract concept, left over from a few mathematicians a hundred years ago --
but is a serious, quantifiable new model, regarding the real domain of
energies that invisibly flow into and out of our “three-dimensional”
reality… literally creating in the process all of physical matter… as well
as its observed, three-dimensional, highly complex interactions.
In addition to its fundamental hyperdimensional component, this “new
Physics” is intimately coupled to a modified concept of a spatial “aether.”
This “aether,” however, is distinctly different from another old 19th
Century concept – an “electromagnetic aether,” proposed then as a medium
(analogous to air or water) necessary to carry rhythmic light and radio
vibrations across “empty space.” This “new aether” also
has no connection to
the now popular term “zero point energy” -- the current quantum mechanics
description of vacuum processes proposed by mainstream physics to generate
matter and energy from empty space.
This new, modified aether is, in fact, a “massless, non-electromagnetic aether” – a charge-free transfer medium pervading all of space, and
conveying “hyperdimensional energy” from more complex, higher dimensions…
into “our” dimension.
In the model of Hyperdimensional Physics proposed by one of us (Hoagland),
it is the innate rotation of mass in three dimensions (or, the gravitational
revolution of “one mass around another mass, via an orbit”) that opens up a
literal “rift,” or “gate,” between dimensions. “HD energy” flows through
this gate, modifying the massfree aether in this dimension -- creating a
variety of observable and measurable physical effects, including the cyclic
appearance of matter and energy in our dimension.
The overall quantity of
energy “gated” into this dimension is directly proportional to “the total
amount of angular momentum” in the spinning or gravitating system involved…
In an orbital system, this total quantity is also “modulated” -- by the
constantly changing geometric relationships between the various masses in
their orbits; certain “tetrahedral” angles (60 and 120 degrees), allow
maximal energy transmission between dimensions; while other angles (90 and
180 degrees) interfere with that transmission and restrict it… These
geometric effects are due to the inevitable “resonance and dissonance
effects” of interfering wave patterns in the underlying aether “matrix.”
The simplest solar system analogy would be “multiple ripples on a pond” –
with the overlapping “energy ripples” being the vast range of frequency
alterations of the underlying massfree aether, caused by the
hyperdimensional energy entry into our dimension via the rotating Sun, its
rotating and orbiting planets… and their rotating and orbiting moons (see
illustration, below).
In other words -- the entire “solar system” functions as a real, hyperdimensional, interconnected, resonant (or at times, dissonant) system…
The dramatically changing planetary effects we are about to recount in this
Report, we believe, are a direct result (in the Hoagland Model) of these
complex spins and geometrically-changing orbits of the solar system’s
currently known planetary members, and their quantifiable effects on this
underlying resonant aether pattern… augmented (in this Model) by additional,
yet undiscovered planets that are also affecting the pattern – but which are
orbiting far beyond the boundaries of the presently known solar system…

Figure 1 – Hyperdimensionally resonant solar system. (Hoagland)
By far the most complete laboratory work on the basic properties of this
underlying, critical “HD transfer aether” -- required in Hoagland’s Model to
transmit the hyperdimensional information into our dimension -- has been
carried out by Dr. Paulo and Alexandra Correa. A comprehensive overview of
their extensively documented research and experiments can be viewed at
aetherometry.com.
The late Dr. Eugene Mallove, former Head Science Writer at
MIT, and former President of the New Energy Foundation, as well as Editor in
Chief of its scientific journal, Infinite Energy, described it thus:
“What is Aetherometry and how to begin to understand it? It comprises the
study and measurement of the aether -- not the static, electromagnetic "luminiferous
aether" of the 19th Century, but a dynamic non-electromagnetic aether that
is amenable to measurement through the deflection of electroscope leaves,
mercury thermometers, Geiger-Muller tubes, oscilloscopes, Tesla coils,
Faraday cages, and other commonly available instruments and circuit
elements. Of course, anyone who is a close-minded believer in Einsteinian
relativity -- the Special or General theories -- would find little or no
reason to investigate Aetherometry…”
While the Correas’ work is entirely separate from our own, both authors
strongly believe that there is a fundamental connection between a “massfree aether,” and the equally demonstrable
hyperdimensional energies it is
conveying into our three spatial dimensions.
Further experimental work –
including some unique “HD aether measurements” the
Enterprise Mission
intends to carry out during the up-coming Venus Transit of the
Sun, June 8,
2004 -- will advance efforts to ultimately prove or disprove such a critical
connection.

Figure 2 – The new “massless aether” experiments. (Correas)
Hoagland’s “magnum opus” -- The Monuments of Mars: A City on The Edge of
Forever (North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, 1987) -- proposed the first 20th
Century restatement of the old 19th Century Hyperdimensional and Aether
Model, coupled with the specific discovery of hyperdimensional planetary
features identified via contemporary telescope and spacecraft observations.
Hoagland showed that “geometric resonant energy fields” within these nearby
planets directly affect their observable “atmospheric signatures,” as well
as the critical location of major surface features – such as the latitude of
the largest shield volcanoes.
Specifically, the focus was on the simple geometric solid known as a
“tetrahedron” -- a four-sided object, with each side as an equilateral
triangle. Like the other four "Platonic Solids" -- the “octahedron, cube,
dodecahedron and icosahedron” -- the tetrahedron will fit perfectly inside
of a sphere. If one of its tips is aligned with the north pole of a
rotating, planetary sphere -- then the other three points will all emerge at
19.5 degrees, south of the equator.
Similarly, if a tetrahedron is
hypothetically placed inside with one tip pointing towards the south pole,
the other three “vertices” will emerge at 19.5 degrees north of the equator:

Figure 3 - Tetrahedral geometry within rotating sphere. (Hoagland)
As explained in a series of
Hyperdimensional Physics papers authored by Hoagland et al., many planetary energy phenomena are seen to
emerge directly at this critical 19.5-degree latitude on a variety of
planets. Gaseous worlds reveal uniquely energetic "cloud bands" at these
latitudes and giant spiraling vortexes at the exact tips of the tetrahedral
geometry -- such as the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, and the
Great Dark Spot
on Neptune.
Solid planets tend to demonstrate the largest volcanic
“upwelling, hotspot activity” at those latitudes -- such as the Big Island
of Hawaii on Earth, and Olympus Mons on Mars…

Figure 4 – Resonant “tetrahedral energy pattern” inside spinning Jupiter,
producing Great Red Spot. (Hoagland)
In this Report, we will combine
Richard C. Hoagland’s
Hyperdimensional Physics Model,
with David Wilcock’s
Convergence Model, as expressed in his third book, Divine Cosmos. We
believe this synthesis can most easily explain the “mysterious” solar system
changes currently occurring.
When this paper refers to “the Hyperdimensional
Physics Model,” both of these sources are being drawn from in that
definition. It is outside the scope of this presentation to fully identify
and prove all the postulates of these overlapping HD Models (or their
individual variations), so these cited documents should be consulted for a
more complete understanding of both authors’ work. For someone reading this
who tends toward the non-technical, here are a couple of additional
analogies.
Magnetism is not a directly visible energy … but we know it is there,
because of its effects on other things. By the same token, beneath the
surface of a body of water, you can’t tell which direction the currents are
flowing … except by observing other physical things that the water is moving
-- such as particles of sand or sunken leaves.
Hyperdimensional energy is
not directly visible either – but we can see its effects throughout the
entire solar system, such as through the emergence of anomalous dust, gas
and ionized particles, as well as otherwise-inexplicable geometric phenomena
in certain fluid (planetary atmospheric) systems, which appear to be the
result of pressure currents caused by resonant vibrations in some hyperdimensional/massless aether “fluid”. (See
“The Matrix is a Reality” by
Wilcock)
So, on to our examples.

The Sun
Since at least the late 1970s, the Sun’s overall radiation emissions (as
measured by increasingly sophisticated satellites) have increased by 0.5%
per decade, which one NASA scientist said “could cause significant climate
change” if such effects were to continue over several decades.
[14]
Another NASA scientist found that between 1901 and 2000, the Sun’s magnetic field
has increased in strength by 230 percent.
[15] In 1999, a third NASA
experimenter observed high increases in the amount of helium and heavier
charged particles released during solar events, showing that a real change
is occurring in the solar wind component of the Sun’s energetic output,
neatly paralleling the other observed changes..
[16]
Prior to 2003, the two strongest solar flares on record were rated at a
previously unheard-of X20, and occurred in 1989 and 2001. Then, in November
2003 a flare occurred that some estimate to be at least 200% more powerful
than any ever seen before, at a whopping X40 … or higher.[17] As is expected
in such events, a coronal mass ejection soon followed – releasing a huge
expanding bubble of billions of tons of electrified gas into the solar
system.
These and other events in late 2003 caused one NASA scientist to say
that the Sun is now more active than in living memory, and “there has been
nothing like this before.”

Despite all of the above evidence, the case for a fundamental solar change
was never truly complete until late last year, with a study that
coincidentally emerged just three days before this massive solar explosion
occurred.
Ilya Usoskin, a mainstream geophysicist, used polar ice core
samples to prove that the Sun has been more active since the 1940s than in
the previous 1,150 years combined. [19] The Sun’s subsequent fury, just days
later, only served to underline and emphasize the point.
Considering that
the Sun contains fully 99.86 percent of the mass of the solar system, making
the planets look like grains of sand by comparison, these continuing changes
will undoubtedly affect everything within the Sun’s formidable magnetic, radiative and gravitational grasp…
Return
Return to
Cambios Sol
Mercury
Despite huge surface temperatures, Mercury seems to have ice in its polar
regions. This is blamed on comet-based ice that crash-landed into
“permanently shadowed craters,” which NASA scientists admit is a
“problematic” assumption to make; the ice supposedly has survived for
millennia, whereas a NASA probe landing at the pole is only expected to
survive one week in the heat. [20]
Mercury also has an unexpectedly dense
core of iron, consisting of almost half of its entire mass, [21] and a
strong dipole magnetic field as well. Scientists would like to know how
these anomalies are possible. [22]
Return
Venus
The amount of sulfur in Venus’ atmosphere was found to have
decreased
“dramatically” between 1978 and 1983. [23] Unfortunately, no study we have
yet located assigned a percentage figure to this planet-wide change. But in
order to earn the word “dramatic,” it could well have been a 1000-percent
decrease (or more!) of sulfur compounds… in only five years.
This huge atmospheric “global change” is currently blamed on a hypothetical
“giant volcanic eruption,” which released these sulfur compounds all at once
into the Venusian atmosphere, sometime just before 1978 (when a fleet of US
spacecraft synchronistically arrived to measure the immediate aftereffects).
This anomalous sulfur then mysteriously settled out of the Venusian
atmosphere at a very rapid rate. Importantly, this “volcanic”
model cannot
be proven, as this alleged eruption was never seen -- either by Earth-based
telescopic observations in this timeframe, or by the just-arrived Venus-orbiting
spacecraft. Despite this striking lack of actual observational confirmation
of such a planet-wide event, NASA simply doesn’t suggest any other possible
cause for such a massive, mysterious, global transformation of the entire
atmosphere of Venus in only half a decade…
[24]
Even more interestingly, Venus’ overall night-side “airglow” brightness
increased by a whopping 2500 percent in roughly the same timeframe --
between 1975 and 2001.
[25]
The new airglow is green in color, which
indicates oxygen atoms, and these oxygen emissions are as strong on Venus as
they are in Earth’s own oxygen-rich aurora (!); so one possible explanation
is that there has been a massive increase in the oxygen content of Venus’
atmosphere.
[26]
We also have yet to find a single study that mentions this “dramatic” global
decrease of atmospheric sulfur in 1978-83, while simultaneous mentioning the
airglow brightness increase, even though the sulfur study was published in
Scientific American and other mainstream scientific sources -- as there is
no current “mainstream model” that can explain both of these changes as
being part of one unified phenomenon.
The last of the six Venus images presented here (below), lower-right pane,
shows a curiously geometric pattern associated with this overall 2500%
airglow brightness increase – a linear feature that reaches almost halfway
across the visible atmosphere of the planet.
This anomalous “geometry”
suggests to us that hyperdimensionally-forced “fluid changes” in the
Venusian atmosphere could somehow be associated with this dramatic
brightening, based on the HD model as described above and in our previous
works.

(Jeremy Bailey / AAO)
A careful study of this 2002 image reveals that the geometric atmospheric
formation observed in the lower-right pane may be caused by a
tetrahedrally-shaped “energy field.” A picture is worth a thousand words,
and Figure 7 says it all.
(The position and angular relationships of the
linear formation mate precisely with the edge of a hypothetical tetrahedron
“inscribed into the sphere” of Venus.)

Figure 7 – Green nightglow of Venus (L) and Tetrahedral Geometry (R).
(Bailey/AAO/Wilcock)
(If you now go back and look at
Figure 5, you can see that the unprecedented
X40 solar flare is also at a perfect “tetrahedral” point, like the white and
red area at the bottom left tip (node) of the tetrahedron in this image –
only the solar flare is on the right, not the left. Many such “tetrahedral
energy node emissions” are visible throughout the solar system, such as the
300-year-long Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the Great Dark Spot on Neptune,
and were first brought to public attention through Hoagland’s HD model.)
Planetary scientists cannot explain this remarkable and totally inexplicable
recent change in the intrinsic atmospheric brightness of Venus – they
honestly admit it’s “a total surprise,” with “no easy explanation.”
[27]
[28]
One NASA/Caltech scientist even went so far as to say that “something
weird is going on in the upper atmosphere of Venus,” adding that “the bottom
line is that we just don’t know what’s going on.”
[29]
Yet another sign of a massive overall increase in the energetic behavior of
Venus was revealed in 1997. A tail of charged plasma trailing behind
Venus
was measured to be 60,000 percent longer in 1997 – stretching almost to the
Earth – than where it was first discovered in the late 1970s.
According to
one NASA/JPL scientist, this tail is “a really strong signal, and there’s no
doubt it’s real.”
[30]

Figure 8 - Huge Charged Plasma Tail from Venus Extends to Earth (New
Scientist, 1997)
All of these changes in the Venusian environment can be seen as part of a
larger, hyperdimensional charge-up affecting the entire solar system --
which will become increasingly clear as we continue with more data.
Return
Mars
Between the mid-1970s and 1995, Mars developed significant new cloud cover,
had an overall reduction in atmospheric dust content, and revealed a
“surprise … abundance” of ozone in its atmosphere.
[31]
NASA’s Mars Global
Surveyor unmanned spacecraft was damaged in 1997 by an unexpected 200% local
increase in the density of Mars’ atmosphere.
[32]
In 1999, a hurricane
appeared on Mars for the first time in over 20 years (Figure 9), and was
300% larger than any previously seen.
To compare it to the Earth, this
hurricane was 400% larger than the state of Texas.
[33]

Figure 9 - Giant Hurricane on Mars (NASA/HST 1999)
Though many would like to believe that a fast-acting “global superstorm” is
science fiction, a powerful global dust storm engulfed the entire planet of
Mars in only three months of 2001, as Figure 10 (below) clearly
demonstrates.
The official Hubble Space Telescope website described this
event as the “biggest global dust storm seen on Mars in several decades,”
with unusually energetic behavior, including a speed of travel across Mars’
equator that was “quite unheard of in previous experience”. The description
“in several decades” implies that this is the biggest storm in at least 40
years, if not more.
Especially interesting is a statement describing this as
part of an “abrupt onset of global warming in Mars’ thin atmosphere,” the
study of which a NASA scientist from Cornell described as “the opportunity
of a lifetime.”
[34]

Figure 10 - Planet-Wide Dust Storm on Mars, June 26, 2001 (L)
and Sep. 4,
2001 (R). (NASA/HST/WFPC2)
In 2001, mainstream media awoke to “Global Warming” on Mars, including
dramatic year-to-year losses of snow cover at the south pole, with rapid
erosion of specific icy features.
[35]
Interestingly, NASA admitted earlier
that an underlying geometric structure was somehow involved in the retreat
of the icecap. A hexagon-shaped pattern in the ice can clearly be made out
in the middle image from January 1997, and is also visible (though rotated
counterclockwise a bit) in the left image from October 1996.

Figure 11 - Mars’ North Polar Cap Retreat, Showing Hexagonal
“Wave Structure,” Oct. 1996- March 1997. (NASA/HST/WFPC2)
Also interesting is that this Martian geometry has appeared on at least two
previous occasions as well, in 1995 and 1972.
According to NASA, there is a,
“marked hexagonal shape of the polar cap at this season, noted previously by HST in 1995 and Mariner 9 in 1972; this may be due to topography [the shape
of Mars’ lithospheric crust], which isn’t well known, or to wave structure
in the circulation.” [36]
In this case, we wholeheartedly agree with NASA.
There does indeed seem to be a geometric wave structure affecting the
retreat of Mars’ icecaps as the planet generally heats up. Many scientists
are not familiar with three-dimensional wave structures, but they form when
any fluid is vibrated.
[37]
Remember, in the Hyperdimensional Model, the
“fluid” that we are looking for is not normally detectable – it is a
hyperdimensional force that “bleeds through” into our reality via the
three-dimensional, massless aether… the invisible “fluid” permeating all of
space which, in turn, then reorganizes visible structures of matter and
energy in this dimension. In this case, the HD transfer path is strong
enough to reorganize the “cold” pattern of change in Mars’ icecaps along
resonance/geometric lines, just as the same HD geometry may be organizing
the “hot,” rapidly-increasing green oxygen emissions in the Venus’
atmosphere.
Overall, Mars satisfies our model quite well. Ozone is up and dust is down,
both indicating that increased ionization is taking place – a sign of
energetic bleed-through in the HD model. The atmosphere is noticeably
cloudier and denser, a massive hurricane and a surprisingly fast-moving
planet-wide dust storm have dazzled NASA scientists, and “Global Warming”
has been announced from more than one major mainstream Martian study. The
retreat of Mars’ surface icecaps is seen to be literally shaped by an unseen
geometric “wave structure.”
Again, these changes are not unique to Mars –
they are occurring simultaneously throughout the solar system; the
formidable data on Jupiter makes this developing trend emphatically
apparent.
Return
Jupiter
Equally mysterious geometric effects have been discovered in Jupiter’s
atmosphere, and reported with little fanfare by NASA. Though the scientists
refer to the atmospheric structure in Figure 12 as a “quasi-hexagon,” it is
also possible within the limitations of the current data to perceive a
five-sided pentagon in the Jovian polar cloud structures.
What makes this so
stunning is that this stable, slowly-rotating feature of Jupiter’s northern
polar region creates a “sharp temperature drop” within its neat, geometric
boundaries, keeping “the polar atmosphere and stratospheric haze isolated
from the rest of the atmosphere.”
(One of us -- Wilcock -- believes it is
possible that we are seeing one face of another embedded, resonant 3D
geometric shape, known as a “dodecahedron,” which is a twelve-sided object,
shaped like a soccer ball, where each side is a perfect pentagon.)
Using
Photoshop, he added in the geometrically-perfect “exposed pentagon” for
reference on the left image:

Figure 12 - Jupiter’s Arctic Polar Vortex (NASA/JPL/HST/University of
Hawaii 1999) with Added Pentagon on Left (Wilcock 2004)
NASA discussed this anomalous formation openly, and even mentioned geometry,
but only went so far as to suggest that it was a “quasi-hexagonal shape”
inside instead of making any mention of its equally possible pentagonal
structure.
[38]
Remember when we were discussing the mysterious appearance of ice at the
polar regions of sun-baked Mercury? At that time, we hinted that there might
be a hyperdimensional “shielding effect” that is protecting this region from
the natural heat of the sun, introducing its own mysterious “refrigerator”
mechanism. In Wilcock’s interpretation of the Jovian clouds, the pentagonal
“wave geometry” seems to be another signature of equally anomalous cooling
in the Jovian polar regions, whereas we saw the already low-temperature polar areas of Mars contained by a hexagonal surface pattern.
It seems
reasonable to conclude from this growing evidence that a planet’s surface or
atmospheric heating pattern can be more affected, at times, by its resonant
internal aether “geometry,” than by direct external solar radiation.
If Jupiter is indeed experiencing a hyperdimensional “charge-up,” in the HD
model we might expect to see a literal vortex phenomenon appear at some time
near one of the nodes (points) of this northern pentagon. A movie made from
about 1,200 images of Jupiter taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft in late
2000 reveals exactly this – a dark vortex as large as Jupiter’s Great Red
Spot, at the same latitude (60 degrees N) as the pentagon’s points!
This
node developed a bright spot in the center and then elongated along a
straight-line pattern, consistent in its size and angle with the pentagon,
with yet another parallel straight line appearing closer to Jupiter’s pole.
A Space Daily article mentions this as “unexpectedly persistent polar
weather patterns on the giant planet,” where “the movie shows that the small
spots last a long time and move in organized patterns.”
[39]
No comment is
made, however, on how the lines that are formed are anomalously straight and
parallel -- rather than following the usual curved paths of typical cloud
movements (See Figure 9.)

Figure 13 – Straight-line formations in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere.
(NASA/JPL/SwRI, 2002)
The NASA text for the movie itself describes “the birth and motion of a dark
vortex wider than Earth,” where
“a dark patch appears and within two weeks
becomes a well-defined oval about the same size and shape as Jupiter’s
southern hemisphere Great Red Spot. While this dark vortex is nestled inside
the auroral oval, its outer edge begins to circulate in a clockwise
direction as it simultaneously develops a small, brighter, inner core. It
eventually moves out of the auroral region and deforms by flattening in
latitude and growing in longitude. Near the end of the movie, a second,
smaller, dark oval appears nearer to the pole and deforms in the wind
shear.”
[40]
A published study by Dr. Carolyn Porco and others on this event noted,
“Other evidence suggest that large oval formation in the polar regions is a
recurring phenomenon … which may be quasi-periodic, or rare but recurring,
and triggered by an unusual auroral event… However, the evolution of the
dark oval is currently unexplained.” [41]
So, we have the emergence of a giant vortex phenomenon, showing clear signs
of consistent geometry, in a region that NASA already admitted as hosting a
“quasi-hexagonal”, i.e. pentagonal, shape in the upper-level clouds. Though
some may clearly wish to argue that this is foolish “pattern seeking,” once
again we have clear evidence of an increase in Jupiter’s energetic
atmospheric activity, occurring along internally consistent,
geometrically-defined (resonant “standing wave”) patterns…
We are not the only authors to suggest that changes in Jupiter’s vortex
phenomena could be related to an overall energetic increase. A major new
study on Jupiter actually made it into the April 22, 2004 edition of
USA
TODAY, announcing the surprise disappearance of several major oval
formations in Jupiter’s atmosphere (Figure 14) -- between September 1997 and
September 2000.
The study demonstrated that without these vortices in place,
internal Jovian heat will not be released as efficiently into space as
before… and Jupiter will likely experience substantial “global warming”
within the next 10 years – a whopping projected temperature increase of 18
degrees Fahrenheit, or 10C. [42]

Figure 14 - Disappearance of white vortexes in Jupiter’s middle latitudes.
(NASA/HST 2004)
The planetary scientist behind this study also notes that the Great Red Spot
has changed from its traditional red to “something more like salmon,” and
believes that this color change may also be due to an overall increase in
Jupiter’s temperature. [43]
These changes are theorized to be part of a
70-year cycle, which is believed to have started when the three largest
ovals first appeared in 1939. What we see now may well be just the
beginning. The disappearance of the vortices between September 1997 and
September 2000 may be directly related to the appearance of the even-larger
polar vortex in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere just days later, which was
filmed from October 1st to December 31st 2000. (Figure 13)
The shift in vortex activity from the middle latitudes of Jupiter to the
polar latitudes is just one of a variety of clearly measurable changes that
are taking place in the largest known planet of the solar system. Figure 15
shows a tube-shaped cloud of hot plasma that was first discovered
surrounding Jupiter in 1979.
NASA’s Pioneer 10 and
11 probes detected
nothing of the sort in 1973-74, which means that this major Jovian system
feature, again, emerged in only five years’ time.
[44]

Figure 15 - Plasma tube (torus) in the orbit of Jupiter’s moon Io.
(NASA/HST)
If we remember that this “tube” did not exist at all as of 1974, this next
fact again makes it crystal clear that major energy changes are occurring in
and around Jupiter. In 1994, the multiple fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy
9 slammed into Jupiter, causing quite a celestial spectacle -- as many dark,
atmospheric “holes” were created by the extraordinarily energetic impact
effects in the upper Jovian atmosphere.
With the impact of the “K”
fragment,
a truly amazing thing happened – two arcs of charged plasma burst out of the
planet and maintained a visible structure for about an hour.
Though it seems
hard to believe (and admittedly it is a poor-resolution image), Figure 16 is
exactly as it appears on the official JPL website [45]:

Figure 16 – Auroral emission arcs from Jupiter after
SL-9 “K” impact, July 19, 1994. (NASA/HST/WFPC2)
"Click" image to enlarge
Even more interestingly, the JPL report states that “Based on comparison
with ROSAT satellite X-ray images of Jupiter also taken at time of the
K
impact, astronomers know that the northern disturbance was brightest near
the time of the K impact, and then faded. If HST images had been taken
during the K impact, they would likely have shown far brighter arcs than
those observed 45 min. later [in the image].”
“Far brighter” is quite an
unsubtle statement for NASA to make. Figure 17 shows us the
ROSAT image that
the JPL report is referring to when making this bold statement.

Figure 17 – ROSAT X-ray images of energy emissions from
Jupiter during “K” impact of Comet SL9. (NASA/JPL 1994)
The way the article is written indicates clearly that these arcs (Figure 16)
were a relatively new phenomenon, never before seen with such intensity,
which appear to have been first observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in
May of 1994. However, a single ring of this type became a stable, ongoing
feature of Jupiter after the July 19, 1994 impact. It was first detected
earlier that May, and filmed over time, with far better resolution, between
May 1994 and September 1995. [46]
This
ring emanates from the polar regions
of Jupiter over to the polar regions of the closest moon Io, linking the two
together like beads on a bracelet. This tube of energy is equal in its
strength to all the manmade power on Earth. Surprisingly, this ring exerts a
strong enough influence on Jupiter’s polar regions that it actually bends
the cloud flow towards Io.
We have not altered this image in any way – what
you see is exactly as it appeared on the Hubble website [47]:

Figure 18 - Jupiter’s Aurorae and their Ring-Shaped Formation with Io.
(NASA/HST 1995)
Another interesting point about this energy ring is that NASA now knows that
electrons are flowing through it in both directions – north to south and
south to north. NASA scientists call them “bi-directional electrons.”
Conventional models have no explanation for this phenomenon, but it fits
perfectly with Wilcock’s basic model as expressed in his third volume, The
Divine Cosmos, once we understand the importance of
counter-rotating energy fields in all physics.
In 1995, the Galileo probe arrived at Jupiter, and began measuring a variety
of changes. Jupiter’s atmosphere was discovered by NASA scientists to be
hundreds of degrees hotter than anticipated.
[48]
The amount of heavy
elements (such as oxygen) in Jupiter’s atmosphere decreased by a stunning
10% between 1979 and 1995, which is equivalent to 20 Earth-masses of oxygen
“embarrassingly” disappearing in 16 years. [49] [50]
Radiation emissions
from Jupiter simultaneously increased by about 25% between 1979 and 1995.
[51]
Jupiter’s closest moon is Io, the most volcanically active satellite in the
solar system. Let’s not forget that the impact of Comet SL-9 triggered a
huge energetic increase in Jupiter, beginning on July 19, 1994 with the “K”
impact and the resulting “auroral emission arcs,” (Figure 17), one of which
streamed into the north and south poles of Io and revealed itself to be a
stable, ongoing feature thereafter. One year later, in July 1995,
Io had
developed a huge, bright, 200-mile-wide feature… not at the polar regions
where the bright arc of energy was entering, but directly along the equator!
This was a more dramatic change than any seen in the previous 15 years. [52]

Figure 19 - Unexplained 200-mile-wide “Hotspot” on Io Emerges
over 16-Month Period (NASA/HST/WFPC2, 1995)
This circular formation of sudden, inexplicable brightness fits perfectly
with the HD model – in this case, showing us the “pure”
geometry of a higher
energy “octahedral resonance pattern” emerging at one of its points along
the equator of Io.
The HD energy entered into the moon in the polar regions,
and then through the angular momentum of the moon’s rotation, burst out at
the equator at a geometrically-defined point, similar to a lawn sprinkler
throwing off water. [53]

Figure 20 - Octahedral Geometry in 1994-95 Io Brightness
Increase. (Wilcock, 2004 with NASA/HST, 1995)
NASA’s
Hubble Site said that up until this bright feature emerged at the
equator, “Io’s surface had undergone only subtle changes since it was last
seen close-up by the Voyager 2 probe in 1979.” [54]
However, just one year
later, JPL (Jet
Propulsion Laboratory) said that “the changes we are seeing on
Io are dramatic… The
colors of material on the ground and their distribution has changed
substantially since the Voyager flybys of 1979.” [55] Did this change happen
in one year, or are the Hubble and JPL scientists simply interpreting the
data in different ways? This “dramatic” color change on Io could indicate
that new types of matter are being released from the volcanoes themselves,
in just 17 years.
Even more interestingly, NASA actually admitted in 2000 that
Io behaves “as
though it were a fluid,” [56] which we believe is partly responsible for the
emergence of otherwise-unexplained geometric effects. As a further support
to the fluid concept, “In a 42-hour span, every point on Io goes from high
tide to low tide, with its rocky surface rising and falling by up to 300
feet (90 meters) or more… This constant tidal motion is what triggers the
endless volcanoes.” [57]
Another suggestion of the hyperdimensional geometry of the
octahedron at
work on Io was spotted in 1997. As can be easily seen in detailed images of
Io’s surface, the volcano Prometheus sits directly on the equator,
suggesting (in the HD model) that it is caused by an internal “octahedral”
geometric wave -- similar to how Mars, Venus and
Earth all show substantial
volcanic activity at the 19.5-degree “tetrahedral” latitude. According to
NASA, an “intriguing difference” appears in Prometheus between 1979 and
1997: the volcano is “now erupting from a position about 75 kilometers (46.5
miles) west from where the hot spot resided in 1979.” [58]
Volcanoes are not supposed to get up and gallop 46.5 miles along the surface
of a satellite in conventional models, (!), but if Prometheus is a sign of
octahedral vortex activity, it is possible that the geometric wave is slowly
rotating within Io itself. The Hawaiian Islands on Earth, clustering in a
long chain at the critical 19.5-degree latitude, may be another example of
such changes… except that with the Earth’s harder, cooler crust, the old
volcanoes remain in place as the vortex slowly travels.
The comet impact, energy ring and subsequent geometric “pressure release” of
Io in 1995, as well as the volcanic anomalies, are only one aspect of a
larger change on and around Io… though this chain of events may have
signaled an important turning point in Io’s energetic transformation. Io’s
ionosphere became 1000% higher between 1973 and 1996, from 30-60 miles to
555 miles in height. [59]
Io’s surface became over 200% hotter between 1979 and 1998, sporting a
temperature over three times hotter than the sunlit surface of Mercury – and
according to NASA, “Scientists don’t yet know how to explain what is
happening on Io.” [60]
In 2000, NASA also admitted that “most of the heat
[is coming] from Io itself, rather than absorbed sunshine.”[61] New colors
[spectral evidence of new ions in the Io environment, not present before… ]
were seen in Io’s aurorae in 1998. [62] Yet additional new colors were
discovered in 2001. [63][64]
In early January 2001, Io had an inexplicable “bright spot” emerge in
ultraviolet wavelengths during an eruption of its volcano Pele, which sits
at about 19.5 degrees south latitude.
According to NASA,
“silicate lava
cannot be hot enough to explain a bright spot in the ultraviolet, so the
origin of this bright spot is a mystery.” [65]
This same article also
presents “the first image ever acquired of an active [volcanic] plume over a
polar region of Io.” [66]
(See Figure 21.) “Scientists were astounded to
discover so large a plume so near the pole, because all active plumes
previously detected on Io have been over equatorial regions and no others
have approached Pele’s in size.” [67]
Volcanoes in the polar regions make no
sense to mainstream scientists, but are an obvious consequence of the
HD
model, since there are geometrically-defined vortexes
there.
On Aug. 6, 2001, a “previously undiscovered and still unnamed volcano”
(read: brand new), released a 310-mile-high plume, “making this the largest
plume ever detected on Io.” [68] (See Figure 21.)
How, in conventional
models, would a brand-new volcano suddenly emerge on the surface of a
satellite and then release the highest plume of gas and dust ever seen
there?
Figure 21 – New Volcano on Io Releases Largest Plume Ever Seen, Aug. 2001
(NASA)
"Click" image to enlarge
The roughly 60-degrees-north geometric position of the new volcano strongly
suggests that it could be caused by the same pentagonal (dodecahedral)
polar
geometry that we see in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere… a geometry that had
fired into action beginning in October 2000, just after the white vortices
finished vanishing from the middle of the planet in September 2000. Perhaps
it took a little less than one year for this hyperdimensional shift of
Jupiter to be “gated” over to Io, causing a very similar energetic effect
there – the most massive volcanic eruption ever observed.
As we saw in Figure 15, a donut-shaped tube of glowing plasma energy fills
the entire path of Io’s orbit. Scientists think this tube is caused by
charged particles spewing from Io’s volcanoes. The charged particles in this
tube became 50% denser between 1979 and 1995. [69]
The overall density of
the tube increased by 200% between 1979 and 1995, [70] and as we saw
earlier, the tube itself did not exist prior to 1979. A ‘cold’ portion of
the tube separated itself out and became significantly brighter between 1999
and 2000. This most recent change led NASA scientists to conclude that
“sufficient data are probably not available to determine the cause or effect
of the torus (plasma tube) variability.” [71]
This is a very polite way of
saying, “We just don’t know what the hell, scientifically, is going on!”

Figure 22 - Io plasma torus (green) and newly discovered Europa
plasma torus (blue) surrounding Jupiter. (NASA 2003)
Confounding the mainstream models even further, another “large and
surprisingly dense” plasma tube was discovered in 2003 (Figure 22), this
time, sharing the orbit of the moon Europa. In this case, there are no
volcanoes on Europa’s surface that could account for where the charged
particles in the tube are coming from, despite the fact that conventional
Jovian system models insist that volcanoes have to be the main source of the
new plasma. [72]
Further underlining these dramatic changes, as of about
2003, Europa’s aurora was observed to have “a much brighter region” than it
was “expected” to have, based on a 1998 model (Figure 22). Again, the
picture (below) says it all. [73]

Figure 23 - Difference between theoretical model of Europa’s brightness
with actual HST observations. (NASA/HST/McGrath et al. 2004)
Jupiter’s third moon, Ganymede, became over 200% brighter in its aurora
between 1979 and the mid-1990s, and certain areas are now up to 700%
brighter than any before seen (Figure 24). [74]
This increase in brightness
may be caused by an observed 1000% increase in the density of Ganymede’s
atmosphere since 1979. [75]
Ganymede also has its own magnetic field, in
defiance of all conventional expectations, leading one NASA
scientist to
say, “Either something’s wrong with our [internal dynamo] theory, or our
understanding of Ganymede’s history.” [76]

Figure 24 – Green Oxygen Aurora Brightness on Ganymede (NASA/HST/McGrath et
al. 2004)
At the orbit of Jupiter’s fourth major moon, Callisto, electron density
measurements made by the Galileo spacecraft found 1000 times more electrons
per cubic kilometer than expected from Jupiter’s own magnetosphere at that
great distance. [77]
This strongly indicates some type of material (probably
water) is currently being liberated from Callisto, despite no observations
of associated volcanic activity, et cetera. When ionized by Jupiter’s own
radiation belts, this material would release excess electrons in direct
proximity to Callisto’s orbit -- another, albeit indirect, indication of
enhanced energy being deposited inside Callisto from “somewhere.”
Furthermore, when Galileo was on its way towards Callisto on August 12,
1999, before making its closest approach two days later, it encountered what
NASA called an “unexpected whopper dose of radiation.”
One scientist said,
“We anticipated the spacecraft’s star scanner would detect about 300 to 400
pulse counts of radiation, so imagine our surprise when the instruments
showed Galileo had flown through 1,400 pulse counts!... Then again, that’s
why we’re exploring Jupiter and its moons -- to discover these unusual
phenomena.” [78]
The radiation caused four different spacecraft faults that
were able to be handled by onboard software, which included disabling one
backup spin detector that had been damaged in the event.
This unexpected radiation blast “took place one week after the largest heat
output since 1986 from Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io.” It may be significant
that all these events clustered around the Grand Cross astrological event of
August 1999, where many of the planets were in hyperdimensionally dissonant
90 and 180-degree angles to each other.
As we head even farther away from the center of Jupiter, a new “dust ring”
was discovered encircling the planet in 1998 -- and, in defiance of all
expected celestial mechanics, its particles orbit in the opposite direction
to Jupiter’s own rotation, and the orbital direction of its major
satellites. [79] Again, counter-rotating fields are a basic aspect of Wilcock’s hyperdimensional model.
[80]
In the course of our research for this article, we dug up two other Jupiter anomalies that support Hoagland’s hyperdimensional model, based on the
geometry of the tetrahedron inside a sphere, as seen in Figures 3 and 4. We
have put these anomalies at the end of this section since they do not
precisely show a change in Jupiter’s energetic activity, but simply
demonstrate the underlying “new” physics at work.
First, in an article from Science magazine in March 2003, a diagram is shown
of the velocities of Jupiter’s cloud bands, based on latitude. The fastest
and slowest cloud speeds on Jupiter occur at exactly
19.5 degrees north and
south, respectively. These speed anomalies have shown remarkable persistence
-- they were there when Voyager 2 visited Jupiter in 1979, and the latest
Cassini data of 2003 continue to show the same phenomena.
According to the NASA scientist working on this,
“The stability of Jupiter’s zonal winds,
given the turbulent nature of its cloud patterns, is a remarkable feature of
its atmosphere.” [81]

Figure 25 - Graph of Highest and Lowest Wind Speeds on Jupiter,
Showing Activity at “Hyperdimensional” Latitudes (Porco et al. 2003)
The “hyperdimensional bleed-through” geometry of the
tetrahedron appears to
be creating the Great Red Spot in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere at
19.5
degrees S and slowing down the speed of the cloud rotations at that
latitude. If this formation does truly exist, then it would also come to a
point at the geometric north pole of Jupiter.
Interestingly, a recent study
has found that in approximately 45-minute intervals, flashes of X-ray
activity are emerging from the geometric north pole of Jupiter… even though
Jupiter’s aurora is not centered on the pole, as we can see in Figure 26.
The energy released by this point is equivalent to a colossal gigawatt pulse
of energy rocketing through the solar system. [82]
A NASA article discussing this phenomenon says the following:
“"We weren’t
surprised to find x-rays coming from Jupiter," he [Dr. Randy Gladstone]
continued. Other observatories had done that years ago. The surprise is what
Chandra has revealed for the very first time: the location of the beacon --
surprisingly close the planet’s pole -- and the regular way it pulses…
"The 45-minute pulsations are very mysterious," adds Elsner. They’re not
perfectly regular like a signal from E.T. might be; the period drifts back
and forth by a few percent. "This is a natural process," he adds, "we just
don’t know what it is..."

Figure 26 - Composite Image – Jupiter, Glowing Auroral Ring (Blue) and Polar
X-Rays (Red) (NASA 2002)
With Jupiter, the geometric fingerprints of hyperdimensional energy are very
clear. In the image on the right in Figure 25, we can see that the fine
lines of the X-rays (in false-color red) actually look like the top of a
tetrahedron, other than the large vertical straight-lined area of extra
brightness to the left.
The large circular bright area to the right would be
the top of the tetrahedron, and two lines are seen to extend downward from
it in a triangular fashion, maintaining a 60-degree angle from each other as
we would expect.
This X-ray phenomenon occurs 15 times for every rotation of Jupiter on its
axis. More research will probably provide an answer to what is causing the
cycle, (we do have ideas, such as varying “hyperdimensional”
angles caused
by the orbits of the four main moons of Jupiter,) but the area where the
X-rays are emanating from is clearly geometric… rather than being in
alignment with the center of Jupiter’s electromagnetic aurora.
So, to summarize and review what we have just learned, in just the last 30
years overall, Jupiter and its satellites have undergone a remarkable series
of energetic and hyperdimensional changes. Vortexes are disappearing from
Jupiter’s middle latitudes and reappearing at geometrically-defined points
in the polar regions. A plasma tube in the orbit of the moon Io has shown
remarkable increases in brightness and density. Jupiter’s atmosphere has
experienced huge decreases in heavy elements and increases in helium, and
overall radiation emissions have increased.
A comet impact caused huge, bright arcs to surge out of Jupiter, one of
which connected with Io and remained stable. The HD energy streaming in at
the north and south pole was redirected to a perfectly geometric, single
200-mile-wide point at the equator. New colors were seen on Io’s surface and
the largest volcano ever seen appeared for the first time less than a year
later. Io’s ionosphere became much higher, the surface became hotter, and
new colors were seen in the aurora.
Europa was also found to have a
mysterious tube of energy in its orbital path, and was recently observed to
be far brighter than expected. Ganymede’s aurora also brightened
substantially, possibly indicating an atmospheric density increase. Callisto’s
aurora was fully 1000 times stronger than expected, and nearby
radiation levels were as much as 467% higher than expected.
Another giant
tube of energy was found beyond the orbit of Callisto, and was inexplicably
counter-rotating.
The slowest cloud speeds are at 19.5 degrees south latitude, and the
fastest
cloud speeds are at 19.5 degrees north, in precise alignment with the
Hyperdimensional Model. A whopping gigawatt-sized X-ray pulse emerges from
the exact geometric north pole of Jupiter every 45 minutes, showing us the
top of the same tetrahedral energy field that emerges as the
Great Red Spot…
which is large enough to hold two Earths.
Taken together, these findings demonstrate the remarkable geometric
properties of Jupiter, and an undeniable evolution in the basic nature of
its temperature, composition and energetic behavior as a system.
As we move
on into Part Three of this Report, we will discover that every other
remaining planet… Saturn… Uranus… Neptune…
Pluto… Earth… is showing us
similar types of changes, thus truly demonstrating that we are dealing with
an interplanetary transformation.
We will also see evidence from studies of Earth that show how the changes we experience here are directly correlated
with changes in the greater solar system.
[14] “Since the late 1970s, the amount of solar radiation the sun emits,
during times of quiet sunspot activity, has increased by nearly .05 percent
per decade, according to a NASA funded study.

cause significant climate change," said Richard Wilson, a researcher

[16] “A team of researchers led by George Gloeckler, a physics professor at
the University of Maryland, published a paper in the Jan. 15, 1999 issue of
Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) about the unusual composition of the May
2-3 (1998) coronal mass ejection (CME) – a bubble of gas and magnetic field
lines that the sun ejects over the course of several hours… Coronal mass
ejections carry plasma, or ionized gas, away from the sun at speeds
approaching 2,000 kilometers per second…
“We were completely surprised by the highly unusual and unexpected
composition in this CME,” Gloeckler says. His team observed, for example,
that the density of 4He+ [a form of charged helium] was almost as high as
the density of 4He++ for several hours. “Such large 4He+/4He++ratios,
persisting for hours, have never been observed in the solar wind before,”
they write. They also observed high increases of helium and heavier ions in
the CME plasma. The unusual composition of the CME lasted an exceptionally
long time, they write… “This is certainly not an average solar wind but an
anomalous situation,” Gloeckler says. “Yet such anomalous findings often
lead to deeper understandings of physical processes.”

[20] “Mercury would seem to be one of the least likely places in the solar
system to find ice. The closest planet to the Sun has temperatures which can
reach over 700 K… Nonetheless, Earth-based radar imaging of Mercury has
revealed areas of high radar reflectivity near the north and south poles,
which could be indicative of the presence of ice in these regions (1-3).
There appear to be dozens of these areas with generally circular shapes.
Presumably, the ice is located within permanently shadowed craters near the
poles, where it may be cold enough for ice to exist over long periods of
time…
Water ice on the surface of Mercury is exposed directly to vacuum, and will
rapidly sublime and escape into space unless it is kept cold at all times.
This implies that the ice can never be exposed to direct sunlight. The only
locations on the surface of Mercury where this is possible would seem to be
near the poles, where the floors of some craters might be deep enough to
afford permanent shading. Whether such permanently shadowed craters exist on
Mercury is still problematic…
The Surface Lander, however, will survive only one week in the harsher
conditions on the planet. It will land near a pole…”
