EDITOR'S NOTE:  observing strange surge in Kp Index, two days before predicted, are events overlapping (see image for m-class flare, 10/20), or is something mysterious happening?  In any case NASA forecasts have been way off target!

Are we beginning to see the unimaginable, the multi-dimensional world of energy and magnetics, ethereal dialogues between the sun, moon, earth, the galactic entities--and a presumptuous interference by man?

WELL-POSITIONED POWERFUL LONG DURATION M-CLASS FLARE

New Millennium

Long Duration M7 Flare Occurs 09.23.98 1300 UTC

At 0640 UTC this morning [240 EDT], a long duration M7 Class flare event began. The event lasted nearly an hour and was accompanied by strong radio bursts and sweeps indicating a coronal mass ejection [CME] likely occurred as well.

A flare of this strength was rather unexpected by the SEC as the statistical probabilities forecasts for major flares was very low. There was also a C9 [threshold M-Class] event around midnight UTC last night.

If the M-Class event generated an Earth directed CME, the energy would likely impact our magnetic field between the 26th and 28th, depending on the trajectory and speed of the ejection.

Magnetic Storm Watches Issued 09.24.98 1200 UTC

Magnetic storm watches have been issued by the SEC [Space Environment Center] for September 24, 25, and 26. The watches for the 24th and 26th are for Magnetic-A Indices of greater than 20... and the watch for the 25th is for Magnetic-A Indices of greater than 30. These watches are likely in response to the very long duration M7 event that occurred early on the 23rd.

Solar/Magnetic/Quake Update - 9.25.98 2230 UTC

Solar flare activity was low today with only two C-Class events reported. The forecast is for continued C-Class activity with only a small chance for M-Class events. There continue to be numerous active spotted regions on the visible solar disk.

The geomagnetic field went into severe storm conditions today at middle and high latitudes with planetary magnetism [PK] readings topping off the chart at "9." The GOES magnetometer readings were extremely volatile with readings dropping to near zero at times. According to NASA and the SEC, Magnetometer readings at or below zero can cause negative magnetism and highly variable magnetic fields at the satellite level. Magnetic-A Index readings for the day exceeded 50... qualifying this event as a major to severe magnetic storm event. Electron readings were highly volatile throughout the period. The Proton event which began yesterday peaked early today and continued in a slow decline. The SEC forecast is for continued active to minor storm conditions for the next 24 hours, and a continued magnetic storm watch is in effect through tomorrow.

The only new quake reported by the USGS was a 5.2 in eastern Ohio near the Pennsylvania border. I have not seen any news stories about this quake as of yet which is surprising because of the rated magnitude and very shallow depth. IMO, there is a high chance for enhanced seismic and volcanic activity until 18-24 hours after the planetary magnetism readings return to green levels.

 NEWSFLASH

SEPT 25 — ECRNEWS — EDGE OF SOLAR SYSTEM — PROBES VARY COURSE — The Los Alamos National Laboratory announced that 3 space probes, Pioneer-10, Pioneer-12, and the European Ulysses were pulled slightly off course on the fringes of the solar system. The cause remains a mystery.

HURRICANE GEORGES PUTS ON A LIGHT SHOW

Mother Nature treated hurricane researchers to a rare light show as they flew the last mission of the most ambitious hurricane study campaign in the Atlantic Ocean. Rarely seen lightning fields and purple sprites were detected in the eye of the hurricane by the ER-2 pilot as he flew more than 19.8 km (65,000 ft) above the Atlantic.
