Good evening. This is the evening edition of the daily alternative news report. Here is an updated look at earthquake activity and the visible solar disk on Saturday, as well as a bunch of links to hot headlines around the world. Earthquakes Volcanic and seismic activity are currently on the rise. Multiple 4.0M+ earthquakes across the North American craton, additional earthquake swarm activity occurring at the Oklahoma and Texas fracking operations. Dormant volcanoes and magma chambers being displaced in North America as well.... near Salton Sea (south california), Mount Saint Helens, also in North Nevada, and at the Arizona / New Mexico border. Central America needs to be on watch. Vancouver British Columbia , as well as Southern California near Salton Sea... all need to be ready for larger movement in the near term. The vast area being displaced across North America means we should see some noteworthy compensation movement along the edges of the plate boundaries. West Pacific, be on watch near Japan, and New Zealand. Possibly also include far Western Indonesia as a place to be on guard for large movement. Europe. Watch North Italy , and the English Channel into South UK. South America. Watch the area NW of Chile / Peru experiencing the current swarm. Solar Activity Solar activity is currently at very low levels. We are now down to three visible numbered regions, although a few other sunspots are now turning into view off the east limb. We will get a better look at them during the next 24 hours. Minor C-Class flares will be possible today, with only a small chance for an isolated M-Class event. Geomagnetic activity is back to quiet levels today following a period of enhanced activity on Friday. Geomagnetic storming is not in the forecast at this time. Sky watchers should remain alert however as sudden changes within the solar wind could boost activity at any time. However, there has been a global uptick in earthquake activity and with a large sunspot turning to face earth, it may be good to be prepared. HOT HEADLINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Posted by Bob Newton and Anne Tittensor in Alternative, Ancient Aliens, Archaeology, Exclusive Excerpts from "The Brien Foerster - Paracas Skull Fiasco" are italicized. (PP) Brien Foerster, the fringe theorist, publicly stated that he had taken fragments of stones at Puma Punku in Bolivia for the purpose of having them tested at a laboratory here in the United States as part of an effort to prove that archaeologists have been lying about the age of the ancient site to cover up the involvement of space aliens, a lost civilization, or Bible giants. Foerster stated this on an online fundraising website where he requested that his supporters give him cash to pay for the testing. Foerster is claiming that mitochondrial DNA was found in at least one sample and that analysis of that DNA showed mutations that don’t conform to mutations known in humans or other animals. “It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans.” What does that mean? Not much really. At best it’s inconclusive. The DNA would be identified as human, but with anomalies; anomalies that could be caused by any number of contaminants or procedural flaws. It could be that this DNA really does provide unusual results, but the only thing that can be said of it at this point is that it requires further study. The sensational release of unconfirmed and unverifiable information such as this on a radio show, is not worthy of the attention this story is receiving.  Now you see it......now you don't. AA Newsroom / BeforeItsNews Exclusive Enough about the chit chat...I'm sure you're ready to get to the good stuff. The site exclusives...am I right? Well, wait no more. A 100% unaltered and authentic chat dialogue was sent to the AA Newsroom today (Sept. 17, 2014) between concerned archaeologists and an alleged Ancient Aliens crew member about a missing skull and Foerster trespassing and stealing artifacts from archaeological sites in Peru. The transcript is nearly 20 pages long and has some juicy details... Here is what I thought most important to mention: Brien is facing persecution in the USA. If he returns, he will be arrested. If this is true or not, we do not know. But it was implied in the following document: The problems don’t stop there, though. Who is doing the skull analysis and where/when can we expect peer-reviewed publication of these results? Foerster isn’t telling, which sends up a huge red flag. In the quote above, Foerster refers to himself as doing the “sequencing”. Is this a slip of the tongue? He’s definitely not a geneticist. Secondary to this is the way in which he has “released” these findings, which is reminiscent of Melba Ketchum’s Bigfoot debacle of 2012. This is not the way science is done, though some might argue that he is not a scientist, and not much argument would be found in response. Some people are buying into what seems to amount to Foerster’s latest effort to sell books, without really thinking about the situation critically. The Paracas elongated skulls are strange, but the features people like Foerster and Childress hold out as evidence that they have an other-worldly origin doesn’t really hold up to close scrutiny. There are fossilized skulls of a race of proto-humans called the Boskop Man. They were found near a small town in South Africa of the same name, and these skulls sparked a heated debate among anthropologists and archaeologists when they were presented in 1913. They were given as evidence for a species of human that had a significantly larger brain and therefore greater intelligence than contemporary species. The Boskop skulls offered a cranial capacity of 40-50% larger than any other known humanoid species, but it’s been demonstrated that this doesn’t necessarily equate to greater intelligence. More isn’t always more. The Paracas skulls, aside from looking strange, are anatomically identical to regular skulls, and since we know how and why their culture undertook skeletal modification, it seems credulous to inject conspiracy where none exists to begin with. According to Foerster, the geneticist who discovered the allegedly never-before-seen DNA, wants to remain anonymous. If that’s not a red flag for the credibility of your research, I don’t know what is. The final nail in this story’s coffin, for me, was the revelation that Foerster had appeared on the popular History Channel program “Ancient Aliens” multiple times. In yesterday’s article, I said that the scientific and archaeological communities generally regard “Ancient Aliens” as inaccurate. “Inaccurate.” That was an understatement. Archaeologist Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews has this to say about “Ancient Aliens”: “I find it incredible and frightening that a worldwide distributed television channel that bills itself as ‘The History Channel’ can broadcast such rubbish as Ancient Aliens. If it were an entertainment programme, I’d have fewer worries (although it would still make me cross); it is the implied authority of the channel (‘The History Channel’, not just any old ‘History Channel’) that makes the broadcast of this series so potentially damaging […] A channel that is making claims for its authoritative status, which offers educational resources, has a responsibility not to mislead its viewers (no doubt its executives think of them as ‘customers’). That responsibility is one that all makers and broadcasters of supposedly factual television have, but one that few of them take seriously: the responsibility to check facts.” Foerster has not said explicitly that he believes the skulls are alien. In a YouTube interview, he said “My intent simply is to find the truth as to who these people were.” That’s a noble goal. But if you really want to find out who the people of the Paracas culture were, speak to some archaeologists. Make your research transparent and available to the public. Have your data reviewed for journals with stringent requirements and high standards. Don’t use an historical oddity as a cheap hook for your tour company, or to sell books. If your goal is to help enrich humanity’s knowledge of our ancient past, then share your information with us instead of releasing only selected snippets of admittedly preliminary results. Otherwise, we have no reason to believe you. Update: On top of everything, it’s been suggested that he may have violated international import/export laws, or at the very least Peruvian export laws, which require credentialed permits to remove any kind of archaeological material from the country. It appears Foerster had no such permit, though this is as yet unconfirmed.

Good morning sun freaks. Here is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Wednesday. Solar activity is currently at low levels. A handful of C-Flares were observed this morning around region 2164 in the southwest quadrant. Region 2158, the source of an X-Class solar on Sept. 10 which led directly to a strong geomagnetic storm on Sept. 12, is now rotating onto the west limb and out of direct Earth view. A new sunspot formed in the southeast quadrant and was numbered 2168 overnight. It is not considered a threat for strong solar flares at this time. Elsewhere, a pair of alpha magnetic spots rotated into view off the east limb and will be assigned numbers later today. There will remain a chance for at least C-Class solar flares today. No Earth directed coronal mass ejections were observed during the past day. Recent Kilauea Status Reports, Updates, and Information Releases:
