Just for fun, here's a stack of 4 long exposure photographs of the remarkable Ada, OK storm on 09-23-23. These images, which were all taken in a span of less than one minute, represent the intense electrical activity this storm exhibited. I doubt I'll ever see something like it again. #Photography
A colorful supercell thunderstorm hovers directly over a road. The road is illuminated by the lights of a passing vehicle. Multiple lightning bolts strike the Earth over the road, illuminating the rain shaft, revealing the storm's structure, and providing the storm with gorgeous colors of orange, blue, and purple. On the left of the storm is a clear blue night sky full of stars.

An email below, received today from NARA, indicating some records coming down the pike in the near future. Get caught up on Santesson and company here: www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/fbi-tap...
NARA indicates 79 pages of FBI records responsive to Hans Santesson were reviewed, 68 of which will be provided in full. Eleven pages will be provided in part, citing Exemption b7D, "identities of confidential sources," for redactions.

JZ Knight Followers Claimed Cell Phone Signals Interfered with Ramtha's Signal, per Email

A second installment of records obtained on Ramtha's School of Enlightenment from the Thurston County (WA) Prosecutor's Office
www.patreon.com/posts/jz-kni...
A 2015 email, stating in part, "The research indicated there was little risk at ground level from a typical tall tower. The issue was brought to us by several Ramtha followers who complained at a State Board of Health open forum that the cell signals were making it tough for JZ Knight to tune in to Ramtha's signals, and that they were 'proven' dangerous to human health, causing elevated brain cancer rates."

A younger Dr. Donald Menzel, per FBI files obtained today from NARA. Similar to previously obtained material but not identical. Menzel was a Harvard astronomer, a lifelong IC contact, & named as one of the infamous MJ-12 in the almost certainly fraudulent papers. Will organize a database & share.
