Don't think I can cut and paste it. Is Yahoo's radar flakey? It's not on the weather.com radar.

Any military sites in the center? Too weird.

Actually, there is a military base in southern Arizona (I know someone stationed there), but I'm not sure if it is within the ring. Sorry.

sorry, the phrase 'happy hunting 'is NOT part of the address....oops!

So what is supposed to be there?

-- Forrest Covington (theforrest@mindspring.com), September 03, 1999.

I checked the radar again, and now it's gone. It was a huge ring, very similar to the one referrenced in a previous thread.

Evidently the radar was updated.

Roland,

Maybe we're witnessing FAA ATC/Radar Y2K implementations.

-- hey, they said (they'd@be.ready), September 03, 1999.

The center of the circle appears to be around Tucson, Arizona. There are military facilities in that general vicinity.

-- Nabi Davidson (nabi7@yahoo.com), September 03, 1999.

OK, so now it's back. Go figure.

Thanks Nabi.

On the above link Look at Chicago its only a little more than a blip but what is that?

-- Johnny (JLJTM@BELLSOUTH.NET), September 03, 1999.

I'm sure we are witnessing the NWO saucer that has come to put us all in concentration camps and give us anal probes. They are also responsible for the poison contrails, out of control comets, Klintons third term, the illuminati and Tinfoil worries about Y2K.

Most likely being picked up and added to the overall picture by the weather radar in Tucson.

1. The sharp outer boundary of the ring is the limit of the instrumented range of the radar. It doesnt report anything that might be further out in range, which is why this outer boundary is so well defined.

2. Intensity changes with time. Whatever it is grows from very light to moderate over about 1/3 of the update period of the radar picture. It isnt present during the beginning or the end of the period.

3. Whatever it is must be at high altitude. Why? Picture a rotating pie shape, with the center at the radar. This is the radar beam. Near center the pie doesnt see to high altitudes, but as the range increases the altitude coverage of the radar increases. Since the returns only occur at long ranges, they must be high altitude.

4. It would be interesting to know if the area were engulfed in high altitude dust during this time. During the Gulf War some radars were able to pick up dust devils that had altitude extents of over 100,000 feet. This was bad, since those dust devils limied radar performance. In this case a dust devil would closely resemble rain.

However, the fact that it appears to be only from one radar -- no supporting data from overlapping radars -- indicates a malfunction or anomaly from the Tucson radar (or malfunctions from all overlapping systems, which isn't likely).

Oh yes, once again, y2kpro demonstrates his total inability to contribute anything useful to any thread. Tsh, tsh.

-- de (delewis@XOUTinetone.net), September 03, 1999.

Pro is an anal probe... what more did you expect?

-- (puckered@closed.up), September 03, 1999.

"Y2K Probe"...I like it!

-- Roland (nottelling@nowhere.com), September 03, 1999.

Adding something useful to this thread? How could that be possible? With the recent deterioration of Timebumb 2000 to include every wacky white-wing theory known to mankind, the word "useful" seems to be an oxymoron. Hope you mouth breathers are still on-line in January - you're gonna have a lotta crow to eat...

Try this link http://www.toledolink.com/~flash/flashx.html It was posted on an earthquake watch site I really couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be all about

-- anon (anon@anon.com), September 03, 1999.

Seems to be an artifact of the radar system - I took a close look at that area on intellicast and several radars in that area are down. So the system is probably trying to stretch the limits of the radar in the middle of the ring that is reporting. The IWA radar seems to be at the center of the ring, and is the one that is up.

(radar@scope.com),

Had to delete your Yahoo weather map post. Whatever you did messed up the HTML and the ability to allow people to Contribute An Answer to the thread. Couldnt fix it.

Y2kpro,

Did your mother beat you a little too much when you were little? Or maybe she dropped you on your head. What makes someone as non-productive and poisonous as you are? All you can do is jump in and start flinging your feces around like a rabid monkey - you never make a rational point or rebuttal. If you're behavior here is any indication, you are going to be a lonely (or even lonelier) little guy, come 2000. I can't imagine anyone tolerating you in person for very long - even others of your own kind.

Pro,

You know, I have a real problem with anyone who overgeneralizes about a group, regardless of whether they're coming from a right, centrist or left wing position. Narrow mindness is narrow mindness. You can't pass it off as something else, just because your not a right-winger. Suffocating zealotry and arrogance isn't pretty, coming from anyone's mouth.

There's a whole buncha people here, interested in this phenomena, for a whole buncha different reasons. If you have a problem with a particular view, then take it up with that person.

It is around Uranus

-- carlsagan (Hubble@Nasa.now), September 03, 1999.

I have seen this phenonemon once before appear on 4-5 radar sites in north and south dakota at the same time. The rings were centered on the radar locations. I would guess that it has to to with a particular weather contidion that causes a return at the perimeter of the radar sweep.
