2012: Something going on

[GeorgeG.]

Has anyone seen this video? I'm not the tinfoil-hat type guy but this definitely makes you wonder.

Strange phenomenons happen everyday. People try to put them together when it's convenient to get you to believe their doomsday and fear mongering bullshit.

If the world is gonna end then why worry about it. What can you do to prevent it? Nothing. So live life on day at a time. We where born to die

This.

Do you cut yourself?

Nope. That is the truth weather you like it or not. The minute you are born your clock starts ticking. That thought is not at all depressing. Its a eye opening thought to tell you the truth.

I'm seeing a lot of home videos with people going wtf? Or reporters (how often do they know what they hell they're talking about anyway) babbling on about unusual events. Never any followup.


Increased solar activity due to strong current solar cycle combined with better solar imaging resolution...Solar tornadoes seen for the first time.

Atmospheric sounds likely due to increase in solar activity, as well. More widely reported due to widespread access to recording devices and media distribution.

Kelv-Helmz (tsunami wave) clouds are unusual, but not inexplicable.

Mini ice age, like the little ice age that happened 500 years ago that Europe somehow survived?

Beirut river turned red... Might have been blood dumped from local slaughterhouses, or more likely chemicals. The river reportedly was bright blue the day before. I don't know, I got tired of digging through all the kooky religious websites spouting apocolpytic nonsense.

Global animal deaths. I dunno, I was thinking about it until about 4:45 when I see Hosea 4:3 come up.

Not surprised. :/

ROFL "The ground is shaking in an unusual way..." Really??? No shit? How does it USUALLY shake?

I need to start going to church more. Has there been any kind of scientific explanation for these events besides what people think it could be?


Well, did some Googling and the scientific evidence is weak! If anyone knows where I might find some good scientific reasearch lmk,

[Broncojohnny]

I always look for solid thought provoking videos such as this while cruising "WorldStarHipHop.com" and watching their videos of jungle warfare.

I find the juxtaposition of these two sentences delightfully amusing.

You searched for 10 minutes. What did you expect to find?

[sspstang]

Maybe Baby Jesus can do something about this.

I'm complex

I knew you'd say that. Acctually, I've been Googling for a while, just did a little more since the topic came up again

Here's a little bit of what I've found:

Solar tornado:
Possibly discovered around 1950; not sure.
Described here in this 1998 article:

Rotating Transition Region Features Observed with the SOHO Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer

Solar Physics
Volume 182, Number 2, 333-348, DOI: 10.1023/A:1005065704108

Abstract
Strong evidence has been found from SOHO-CDS (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory – Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer) observations to support the hypothesis that rotation plays a major role in the dynamics of transition region features. A comprehensive survey of the CDS daily synoptic rasters has been carried out to select dynamic events by searching for spectral line shifts in the Ov emission line at 629.73 Å (formed at a temperature of 2.5×105 K). Unique CDS observations of a macrospicule were reported by Pike and Harrison (1997), and several more macrospicule-like solar features have now been identified in the polar regions both on the limb and disk. These show blue- and red-shifted emission on either side of an axis stretching above the limb from a footpoint region on the disk. These observations are interpreted as indicating the presence of a rotating plasma, a sort of solar tornado. In the examples studied, the rotation velocities increase with height. The implications for coronal heating models are discussed.

The video we're familiar with was recorded on 9/25/2011, released only recently, with NASA's solar dynamic observatory satellite, launched in 2010.



Atmospheric sounds:

Ok, so this isn't a peer-reviewed scientific article, but then Elchin Khalilov is Azerbaijani and publishes in Russian. I can't read Russian. Khalilov is a respected member of the scientific community, with over 250 peer reviewed publications.

http://geochangemag.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=142:strange-sounds-in-sky-explained-by-scientists-&catid=1:global-news&Itemid=9

Mr. Khalilov, what is the nature of the unusual very low-pitched sounds reported by a great number of people in different parts of the planet since the summer of 2011? Many call them “The Sound of the Apocalypse”. Information about that comes from all over the world: US, UK, Costa Rica, Russia, Czech Republic, Australia, etc.

We have analyzed records of these sounds and found that most of their spectrum lies within the infrasound range, i.e. is not audible to humans. What people hear is only a small fraction of the actual power of these sounds. They are low-frequency acoustic emissions in the range between 20 and 100 Hz modulated by ultra-low infrasonic waves from 0.1 to 15 Hz. In geophysics, they are called acoustic-gravity waves; they are formed in the upper atmosphere, at the atmosphere-ionosphere boundary in particular. There can be quite a lot of causes why those waves are generated: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, etc. However, the scale of the observed humming sound in terms of both the area covered and its power far exceeds those that can be generated by the above-mentioned phenomena.

In that case, what could be causing this humming in the sky?

In our opinion, the source of such powerful and immense manifestation of acoustic-gravity waves must be very large-scale energy processes. These processes include powerful solar flares and huge energy flows generated by them, rushing towards Earth's surface and destabilizing the magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Thus, the effects of powerful solar flares: the impact of shock waves in the solar wind, streams of corpuscles and bursts of electromagnetic radiation are the main causes of generation of acoustic-gravitation waves following increased solar activity.

Given the surge in solar activity as manifested itself in the higher number and energy of solar flares since mid-2011, we can assume that there is a high probability of impact of the substantial increase in solar activity on the generation of the unusual humming coming from the sky. It should be pointed out that solar activity began to rise sharply since early 2011, with its amplitude significantly higher than all forecasts given by a number of influential scientific institutions in 2010 and 2011. Meanwhile, the observed increase in solar activity is fully consistent with the forecast of the International Committee GEOCHANGE published in the Committee's Report in June 2010. If this growth rate of solar activity continues, its amplitude by the end of 2012 will be higher than the amplitude of 23rd solar cycle, and in 2013-2014 the solar activity will reach its peak the amplitude of which was predicted by us to be 1.5 - 1.7 times higher than the amplitude of the 23rd cycle.

But you said that the cause of the "sky hum" can lie within Earth's core as well, what does it mean?

There is one more possible cause of these sounds and it may lie at the Earth's core. The fact is that the acceleration of the drift of the Earth's north magnetic pole which increased more than fivefold between 1998 and 2003 and is at the same level today points to intensification of energy processes in the Earth's core, since it is processes in the inner and outer core that form the Earth's geomagnetic field. Meanwhile, as we have already reported, on November 15, 2011 all ATROPATENA geophysical stations which record three-dimensional variations of the Earth's gravitational field almost simultaneously registered a powerful gravitational impulse. The stations are deployed in Istanbul, Kiev, Baku, Islamabad and Yogyakarta, with the first and last one being separated by a distance of about 10,000 km. Such a phenomenon is only possible if the source of this emanation is at the Earth's core level. That huge energy release from the Earth's core at the end of the last year was some kind of a start signal indicating the transition of the Earth's internal energy into a new active phase.

Intensification of the energy processes in the Earth's core can modulate the geomagnetic field which, through a chain of physical processes at the ionosphere - atmosphere boundary level, generates acoustic-gravity waves the audible range of which has been heard by people in the form of a frightening low-frequency sound in different parts of our planet.


In both cases, even though the causes of acoustic-gravity waves are of a quite understandable geophysical nature, they are indicative of the expected significant increase in solar activity and the geodynamic activity of our planet. There is no doubt that processes in the core rule the internal energy of our planet, therefore, we should expect by the end of 2012 a sharp rise in strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and extreme weather events with peak levels in 2013 - 2014.

As far as the Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds:

Turbulence statistics of a Kelvin–Helmholtz billow event observed in the night-time boundary layer during the Cooperative Atmosphere–Surface Exchange Study field program

Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans
Volume 34, Issues 2–4, October 2001, Pages 189–204


Abstract

An apparent shear flow instability occurred in the stably stratified night-time boundary layer on 6 October 1999 over the Cooperative Atmosphere–Surface Exchange Study (CASES-99) site in southeast Kansas. This instability promoted a train of billows which appeared to be in different stages of evolution. Data were collected by sonic anemometers and a high-frequency thermocouple array distributed on a 60 m tower at the site, and a high resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL), situated close to the tower. Data from these instruments were used to analyze the characteristics of the instability and the billow event. The instability occurred in a layer characterized by a minimum Richardson number Ri∼0.13, and where an inflection in the background wind profile was also documented. The billows, which translated over the site for approximately 30 min, were approximately L∼320 m in length and, after billow evolution they were contained in a layer depth H∼30 m. Their maximum amplitude, determined by HRDL data, occurred at a height of 56 m. Billow overturns, responsible for mixing of heat and momentum, and high-frequency intermittent turbulence produce kurtosis values above the Gaussian value of 3, particularly in the lower part of the active layer.

Obviously this wasn't the event recorded in the video, but similar nonetheless.
