Space Weather Alerts

Courtesy SEC-NOAA & your American Tax dollars which pay for their organizations through the Dept of Commerce

 

 

This is a portion of the daily Space Weather Alerts from the SEC (NOAA) for December 2006 when a supposed solar flare damaged the GPS system but neither the Solar flare or the GPS damages were made public until April 2007.... four months later.....
You will notice on the alerts below that the dates are out of sequence. You can also see how the weather messages for December 6th are in complete conflict to other weather messages. The person who inserted the cover story files did a sloppy job on this. I will provide the link to this entire page below, but I felt it necessary to copy the original as it looks today with the mistakes, in the event they go back and correct these mistakes. These space weather messages are in the original order, but I only show the timeline portion for the week the flare supposedly occurred. I will highlight the errors in yellow and add my observations in green.
 

Alerts Issued by SEC in December 2006


Space Weather Message Code: ALTPX2
Serial Number: 42
Issue Time: 2006 Dec 09 0034 UTC

CONTINUED ALERT: Proton Event 10MeV Integral Flux exceeded 100pfu
Continuation of Serial Number: 41
Begin Time: 2006 Dec 07 0345 UTC
NOAA Scale: S2 - Moderate

Comment: The current flux is 242.6 pfu s. A maximum flux of 1980 pfu s was
reached at 1930 UTC on 07 December.

Note: The warning was issued on Dec 9th but the event was set to being on Dec 7th. Issuing a weather alert 2 days after the event occurred is a bit illogical & brings question to the validity.

Note: The issue date is after the begin date. Also notice that there is no "extended or continuing" warning tag added. This is a falsified message placed after the fact to justify the solar flare explanation of the GPS failures.

Note:  Notice that the warning for timeline Dec 6, 2006 through Dec 8, 2006 is listed as minor. Also note that the date of the issuance of the extended warning is supposedly after the historical flare occurred. I believe this was one of the original messages which they forgot to remove.

Space Weather Message Code: SUMX01
Serial Number: 62
Issue Time: 2006 Dec 06 1907 UTC

SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded X1
Begin Time: 2006 Dec 06 1829 UTC
Maximum Time: 2006 Dec 06 1847 UTC
End Time: 2006 Dec 06 1900 UTC
X-ray Class: X6.3
Optical Class: 3b
Location: S05E61
NOAA Scale: R3 - Strong

Note: Let's look at the scale rating for this event. There are 5 levels of events. This is a mid-level event which can cause some temp disruption of lower level frequencies on the sunny side of the planet for about an hour. This is not a satellite system wipeout event level. For the type of damage reported for the GPS system, it would have taken the highest rating of "Extreme" (R5). At the same time, it would have also knocked down the weather satellites but we can see that the weather satellite was still working on the image loop provided on this page. However, at 19:15 Zulu on Dec 6th, 2006 which is 15 minutes after this event ended, we can see a shift from the earths position away from the template overlay. While a solar flare, radiation and other solar events can disrupt or damage radio communication abilities or electronic components, it would not cause the video image of the earth to shift from the template. That was a change of position between the earth and the satellite. An axis shift would have changed the position of the earth in respect to the satellite and would have misaligned the entire GPS system for the entire world. The fact that neither the solar event or the GPS loss / malfunction were not mentioned until 4 months later is indicative of the gov't giving themselves time to restore, recalibrate systems and correct the data and images to correspond with the solar flare cover story. I would hardly call an R3 solar event a historical event of the highest levels on record as has been touted by NASA and the SEC-NOAA. I also find it interesting that the SEC (securities & exchange commission) under the Dept of Commerce, is the controlling agency for NOAA. (Hurricane center). This means our weather reports and ratings are being controlled by the same entity which polices the stock exchange and finances of publicly traded corporations.

If you look through the weather alerts and messages for each month and each year, you will see it is normal to have one or more weather alerts and messages for every day. This you can verify by looking at some of the other space weather alert charts. So an alert in itself is not abnormal. What is abnormal is not seeing any alerts for an entire day or more.
