8.7 – CREATURES OF THE DEEP (9.4.15)

VAN ALLEN BELTS ^[8g]

August 30, 2012. NASA launches Storm Probes into the Van Allen Belts, intense radiation zones that surround planet Earth like a doughnut.

“Because of the Van Allen Belts, incoming charged particles are sent on curved paths that safely protect the Earth, and we don’t get hit by them.” – Michael Dennin, Ph.D. (Physicist/Prof. of Physics & Astronomy, UC Irvine)

During the two-year mission, the probes record the belts’ radio waves and discover something incredible. The sound they produce in space is nearly identical to the song of a humpback whale.

“What’s nice about the Van Allen Belts is the radio waves they emit are at the same frequencies as sound that we listen to. And so you can record these radio waves and play them, and they make music basically.” – Michael Dennin, Ph.D. (Physicist/Prof. of Physics & Astronomy, UC Irvine)

“Radiation and things in the Universe make noise. Planets emit a sound. Everything emits a sound. And the similarity to the humpback whale sound I mean, is that a coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences. But it is weird.”   – George Noory (Radio Host, Coast to Coast AM)

“It’s possible to me that other aquatic, humanoid life-forms that are out there in the Universe might be able to notice that these electromagnetic belts around our Earth are ringing like a gong, saying, “There’s water here.” And that could very well attract them and draw them to our planet, almost like a beacon to a watery world.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), (Author, The Source Field Investigations), (The Synchronicity Key)

Could the Van Allen Belts actually be of extraterrestrial design, acting as a beacon to indicate that our planet is rich with water? While scientists are discovering that water is more prevalent throughout the Universe than previously thought, it has become increasingly clear that planets with large bodies of liquid water believed to be essential for complex life are scarce.

“Earth is a little bit special. It’s got abundant water, but it’s also got abundant land, and that may be a peculiar feature. But seeing as liquid water is so critical to life as we know it, when we look to worlds elsewhere, we’re primarily looking for liquid water.” – Paul Davies, Ph.D. (Theoretical Physicist / Astrobiologist, ASU)

“If life exists that’s intelligent on a planet that hosts water-based life, then one can suggest that the only other planet that they would be looking for intelligent life is also water-based.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (Publisher, Legendary Times Magazine)

“We seem so fixated on finding life on other planets, yet there’s so much potential here on Earth. If there’s anything that we’ve learned from history, it’s that anything is possible. We can’t discount the possibility that somewhere in the vast, unexplored ocean depths lies some highly intelligent and highly dangerous life-form we haven’t seen yet, deep-sea aliens, if you will.” – Ken Gerhard (Cryptozoologist / Author)

“75% of our planet is ocean. I think Jacques Cousteau said, it should be Planet of Ocean, not Planet of Earth. And we only know about ten percent, of what actually lives in our ocean.” – Leonid Moroz, Ph.D. (Prof. of Neuroscience, Univ. of Florida)

“Today, as we look deeper into our own solar system and beyond, we realize the importance of H2O, and that water isn’t only a life force for us, but possibly other organisms within the galaxy. And knowing that our oceans are as deep as they are, it’s very possible that there’s a whole other world of exploration waiting for us. We might even discover that there are other races living on the planet Earth, but at the deep parts of our oceans.” – Jason Martell (Founder, AncientSchool), (Author, Knowledge Apocalypse)

Is it possible that extraterrestrials inhabit our waters all over the world? Could exotic fish, terrifying sea monsters, and even humanoid creatures have come to our planet through underwater portals? Perhaps when we finally make contact with alien beings, it will not be in the furthest reaches of space, but right here on Earth, lurking in the deep.
