http://strangesounds.org/2017/11/mysterious-boom-after-flash-of-light-in-bridgewater-new-jersey-unexplained-booms-and-shaking-in-san-diego-california.html
Quote: "Geologist and Weather Expert Dr. Pat Abbott told Fox 5 it's likely the answer lies above us. 'If anything happened in the ground we would have known, because we monitor that. So, that means it’s up in the atmosphere,' said Dr. Abbott."
Quote: "USGS did not report any earthquakes in the area around that time. A training session at Camp Pendleton was scheduled for Thursday, although military officials said the impact from live mortar fire would not be felt or heard to the degree it was reported. A local rock quarry told Fox 5, a blast was conducted, but it was yesterday. U.S. Navy officials said jets launched off the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, but it wasn't until after 11 a.m."
Quote: "In Skyline, a woman heard the boom just before 11 a.m. '[I heard it] about 15 minutes ago. Not sure of the direction. But my house shook and my curtains blew inward.'"
Note: So all the military possibilities were eliminated, it wasn't an earthquake, and it wasn't quarry work. The windows blowing inward was the result of a shockwave from an explosion though, probably somewhere off the coast. San Diego is about 80 miles southeast of Huntington Beach, where hydrogen sulfide's been blowing in off the ocean and a committee has been formed to find out why, last mentioned in the 2017-10-02 update. When the ocean belches up gases, it's likely to be a combination of methane and hydrogen sulfide, both explosively flammable. If the concentration is high enough, then the bubble of gas may auto-ignite and explode as soon as it reaches the atmosphere at the surface of the ocean. If it's not concentrated enough for auto-ignition then it may just blow ashore and induce fires or 'electrical explosions' and/or sicken or kill people. So the explosion might actually have been a good thing, in a way - some gases would burn off in the explosion and the explosion itself would help disperse whatever was left. Still, poison gas blowing ashore, huge shockwave-generating explosions, record-breaking 'blast furnace' type wildfires destroying large swaths of land, cars regularly bursting into flame and igniting brush fires, these are obviously not good signs...

2017-11-03 - Unknown 'sweet odor' hits area in Valdosta (Georgia):
http://valdostatoday.com/2017/11/reports-of-strange-odor-closed-parts-of-clay-road-friday-night/
Quote: "'At 7:10 pm a citizen called 911 to report an unidentifiable odor in the area of Clay and Howell Roads. According to Lowndes County Emergency Management Director, Ashley Tye, multiple public safety agencies are currently conducting an investigation to determine the origin of the odor. As a precaution, citizens in the area are being asked to remain inside with doors and windows closed.'"
Quote: "Paulk stated the odor was reportedly 'sweet smelling' but dissipated before the source could be found."
Note: At LOW concentrations hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs. At non-trivial concentrations many people report the smell as 'flowery' or 'sweet' or 'sickly sweet' or like 'licorice' and sometimes just 'chemically'. I've smelled that odor myself, twice. Once was when some workers were pumping crap out of some porta-potties into an open sewer manhole at a construction site, and the other time I smelled it was during the wee hours just walking down a street, and there was no logical source for it that time other than that there was simply a cloud of poison gas blowing by in the atmosphere. In both cases I immediately held my breath, turned 90 degrees and got as far away as I could before taking another breath. When it smells 'sweet', that's when you may be in imminent danger of dying. You'd think that such a deadly poisonous gas would smell just horrible at ANY concentration, but it really doesn't smell that bad at higher concentrations, which makes it even more insidious. And your ability to smell it fades rapidly too, because of 'olfactory fatigue' or 'olfactory paralysis', which makes it yet more insidious.
The most insidious aspect of all though is that you can get poisoned on one day but not drop dead until 2 or 3 days later, which makes it very easy for 'the authorities' to disguise the deaths as 'natural causes' or 'heart attacks' or 'Sudden Adult Death Syndrome' or 'untimely death', and that also makes the poisoning/dying look somewhat more random than it actually is. Of course, because hydrogen sulfide is water-soluble, contaminated water can kill you too, and you may very well have no smell at all to warn you in that case. Any water that comes from a source that's exposed to the atmosphere could be contaminated now, including rainwater, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, oceans, wells, even municipal water supplies. Another insidious way to die is this: 1) a cloud of gas blows through, probably in the wee hours, and coats matter like grass, vehicles, railings, trash, doorknobs, etc, via adsorption; 2) you touch that invisibly-contaminated matter, getting invisible poison on your fingers/hands; 3) you eat food or rub your eyes with your contaminated fingers/hands. And you still may not drop dead for 2 or 3 days. You definitely won't smell it when you're smearing poison onto your fingers/hands by touching something that itself has poison smeared on it, which could be pretty much anything nowadays, especially outdoor stuff.
Don't expect your government to tell you anything about this. They can't protect you, so it's to their advantage if you're ignorant of what's happening - or at least remain quiet about what's happening - and die randomly like everyone else. That's the status quo and they aren't going to disturb it. Of course, the wheels do fall off that wagon of deception at some point, regardless, since there's no way people are going to remain oblivious until the very last person dies. It's really just a question of how many people will still be alive when people wake up. And on a personal level, it's a question of whether YOU will still be alive - and whether you would even want to be - when people wake up.

Quote: "Emergency crews were called out to the Corpus Christi International Airport just after noon Monday after a plane's engine caught fire upon takeoff and had to circle back to land. According to CCIA officials, a U.S. Navy 737 jet that took off from the airport circled around after a problem was reported with its left engine during takeoff. The jet circled around and landed back on the same runway, where emergency crews were on standby but were not needed. Witnesses called 3News reporting a low-flying plane approaching the airport with flames coming from its engine."
Note: This is the 100th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2017...

2017-11-07 - Multiple people go nuts, some strip naked, bark like dogs, in Sullivan (Missouri), near the Meramec River:

http://www.kmov.com/clip/13890392/police-people-run-howling-and-nude-through-sullivan-streets-after-taking-flakka
http://www.ozarksfirst.com/news/police-in-sullivan-report-people-running-around-nude-barking-from-flakka/853752204
Quote: "Police in Sullivan said they responded to multiple reports of bizarre human behavior over the weekend, likely the result of the drug 'Flakka,' a synthetic drug known to cause crazy behavior. Sullivan police told News 4 they responded to reports of people barking like dogs, running nude, and breaking into homes and business. They received at least one report of a person stripping naked to shower in a soda fountain."
Note: Yeah, they tried to blame bath salts or Flakka for the two guys who stripped naked and ate the faces off people too, but after testing, neither proved to have any drugs in their system. That seems to be their 'go to' excuse for this kind of behavior. Maybe this particular event WAS Flakka, but given the track record of blaming Flakka or bath salts for such events and then it not turning out to be any drugs at all, it'd obviously be foolish to make such an assumption. Eventually everyone who doesn't burn to death or fall over dead or die in a traffic accident or starve to death from a collapsed biosphere or whatever will go nuts just like these people. This may become widespread and start happening regularly at any time. Some people went nuts similarly earlier this year in and around coastal Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and no drugs were found in any of them, mentioned in the 2017-03-03 update...

Note: First he said we had 1000 years but didn't mention fire. Now it's down to 600 years and he mentions fire. I said a long time ago that scientists are going to be moving closer to what I'm saying - since what I'm saying is accurate and truthful - or else they're gonna look oblivious and stupid. Welp, they're moving closer, or at least Stephen Hawking is. He still needs to lop off about 580 years or so from that timeframe though. Maybe he'll have seen enough to do that before he's dead. Time will tell!

http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1580167652037328&id=157871554266952
Quote: "There’s something foul in Birmingham and Royal Oak. Just ask the hundreds of residents who’ve flooded the phone lines of the Birmingham and Royal Oak fire departments along with Consumers Energy in the last few weeks reporting a gas smell. Royal Oak assistant Fire Chief Jim Cook says an odor of gas can be detected when crews go out to investigate but when Consumers arrives with it’s equipment, no gas leak can be found. Most of the calls are in the area of 14 mile and Coolidge, west of Crooks and East of Woodward."
Quote: "Cook says after weeks of searching they believe the culprit is hydrogen sulfide. A common sewer gas which at low levels may not present a health threat, but at higher levels can be deadly."
Note: Like I've said numerous times, people are confusing the smell of the additive added to natural gas, methyl mercaptan, with the smell of hydrogen sulfide. This is another example of that...

They are usually found on sandy bottoms, flat reefs, or coral rock in warm and temperate areas."

Quote: "Something stinks in Ahwatukee; a smell so rancid it's making some people sick, and they don't know what it is. Several Ahwatukee residents called ABC15 hoping we could look into the situation and uncover the source of the stench. 'It comes in waves for hours and hours,' said Cynthia Garcia, a resident of Ahwatukee who lives near 40th street and Pecos Road. 'It's actually starting to make us feel physically nauseous because the smell is so strong.' Other neighbors reported smelling the stink as far west as 24th Street, and all the way to 48th Street to the east between Pecos Road and Chandler Boulevard. Residents said it usually peaks overnight and into the morning. 'Sewer gas,' said one Ahwatukee resident, describing the smell while on a neighborhood stroll. 'Sulfer, sewage...maybe even gas,' said Garcia."
Quote: "'My concern is that it's a gas, and that it's starting to affect our health because it's been going on for about six months,' said Garcia."

The issue has been going on for more than six months. Employees located in the Wilson Building, on the corner of Northeast First Street and East University Avenue, have complained of a gaseous odor, as well as suffering from symptoms that include a sore throat, a weird taste in their mouths, burning eyes and respiratory issues, resulting in some taking sick days."
2017-11-23 - As the world warms, more methane being released, which causes more warming, which releases more methane, and so on:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5104747/Global-warming-increases-release-methane-bubbles.html
Quote: "Due to climate change, including rising temperatures, more and more methane is bubbling up from lakes, ponds, rivers and wetlands throughout the world. The release of methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- leads to a further increase in temperature, thus creating a positive feedback loop (also known as a 'vicious circle')."

Note: The atmosphere is filling up with explosively flammable gases. It'd be odd if there weren't an increasing number of 'mysterious explosions'. The rise in these 'mysterious explosions' coincides with the rise of methane levels in the atmosphere and the increasing frequency of unknown rotten egg or 'gas odors' hitting cities around the world. Scientists can always drop by here if they want the explanation, or they can remain 'baffled' until they burn to death or fall over dead or whatever...

Quote: "California's 2017 wildfire season was the worst on record according to the state's firefighting agency. More than a half-million acres have burned so far this year, and unseasonably warm weather in Southern California is extending the fire season there. CAL FIRE Spokeswoman Lynne Tolmachoff said the season was already at near record numbers prior to last month's massive fire outbreak in Northern California."

Quote: "An unidentified driver died early Monday afternoon when a motor vehicle ignited on Interstate 93, state police said. Motorists reported that a vehicle traveling south on Interstate 93 left the highway near exit 5 and stopped about 30 feet from the road. Moments later, witnesses told state police the vehicle was on fire. Troopers rushed to the scene but were unable to rescue the driver, who was inside the vehicle, state police said."
Note: I bet the driver smelled smoke or saw fire and pulled over, but couldn't exit the vehicle, either because the smoke or lack of oxygen knocked him or her out or because the windows and locks were disabled by the fire. Once your car is on fire, you have seconds to act, and if you don't have something handy with which to break windows and cut seatbelts then that might just be the end of the line...
