For over a hundred years geoscientists have been trained to think of oxygen anions in natural materials as O2- and nothing but O2-. To introduce O- as a new variant, but at the same time point to the fact that O- is not an ion but an electronic state with unusual properties, most appropriately discussed within the framework of semiconductor physics, requires a level of rethinking for which most geoscientists are ill-prepared.
Lastly, once fully told and understood, the story of p-holes is basically so simple that many mainstream geoscientists are left to wonder why it has taken so long for them to be discovered. If they are so ubiquitous as they appear to be, why did p-holes go unnoticed for over a hundred years? Confronted with this question, by a twist of logic, many mainstreamers succumb to the impulse to reject the p-hole concept out of hand.
The difficulties encountered in the connection with p-holes are similar to others that have punctuated the history of science. The discovery of the p-holes as dormant, yet powerful charge carriers in the Earth s crust calls for a new paradigm in earthquake research and beyond. More often than not, any call for a new paradigm elicits opposition. Therefore, I close with a quote from the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer who ventured to say: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
I call them 'chembows', because this rare phenomenon commonly occurs during periods of heavy 'spraying'.
People can say what they want but every morning when the sun comes up there is a grid of 'chem trails' that don't dissipate but spread out throughout the day creating a hazy sky and many times these 'sun dogs' and 'chembows'.
It's pretty obvious when these 'high wispies' are only being laid down where the sun is coming up so that the angle shields a large metropolitan area from reaching high temps in the early morning.
It is also heavily sprayed in the evening virtually everyday, but that's because in morning and evening the solar radiation is greater;
I heard a rumor that not only do these particles reduce solar radiation but they are used to induct cold fronts but heating these particulates so they rise up and suck in cold air (relatively speaking) into the area.

Hello westcoast,
I read your book and loved it. I had a hard time putting it down. You kept me courious. Bravo!
Great work!
With that said, maybe your next book should include the sights many are experiencing,
like in your pics.
Back on subject:
I am quite the sky watcher, both day and night and have seen more sun-dogs in the last year &1/2,
than I've seen in the 7 yrs before that.
I am surrounded by forest so rainbow is scarce.My distance view is mostly up.
I've seen quit a few moon-bows too, now tha I think about it.
I have had friends and family comment about rainbows,sun-dogs and moon -bows
more than I can ever remember.
I do tend to think it has to do with the methane overload in the air. With credit given to the rapid
melt of the Arctic ice releasing more methane than ever recorded.edit on 14-6-2013 by azureskys because: correctionsedit on 14-6-2013 by azureskys because: correctionsedit on 14-6-2013 by azureskys because: (no reason given)

Off subject, but have you identified the object in pic number twelve ?

I've been seeing the bright flashes of light on the east coast. A few weeks ago it was a clear starry night

The huge double rainbow we have seen twice and one thing you didn't mention, we saw huge lightning strikes on the hills with no thunder. We actually jumped in the truck and tried to get closer it was so very strange. The strikes were thick and wide but no sound at all.
and saw the flashes right above me at first I thought it was heat lightning, I'm not so sure that explains it there was no sound at all and estimate 20 to 30 seconds in between flashing. I checked the weather and no storms systems in our area, so if someone has an explanation I would love to hear it.

Beautiful pictures my friend.
Where I live I don't get to see things like sun dogs, noctiluscent clouds and aurora.
You should be thankful to see such sights, not fearful.

We are on the North end of the Oregon border area. We have been seeing every single thing in your pictures, like you I have not seen any of these things but a few times in my life, but now we consider some of them "common" especially the circle around the sun.

I seem to have all the same interests as you, unfortunately I broke my good camera and have only a small one and have not been taking any pictures they always are so bad.

Looks like you may have also caught a UFO in this photo (did anyone else notice?):
And this one is set as my new desktop picture Great photo!

A thought occurred to me ,OP, maybe the solar maximum is doing part of the alterations to our sky?
perhaps there is some subtle influence there which is prompting the changes?
I am at loss to explain this flash however....but the changes are definately real....
Maye we could look back at the intervals of maximums and examine older photos/stats of those years?
just a thought, ill never follow up on however.....................
