Siberian-Solar Radio Telescope Detected Mysterious Ultra Low Frequency ‘Blast’ in Sync with Minnesota Bridge Collapse

Radio_telescope_2 Russia’s Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics located in Irkutsk reported recently that their Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) detected a ‘massive’ ultra low frequency (ULF) ‘blast’ emanating from Latitude: 45° 00′ North Longitude: 93° 15′ West.

ULF is the frequency range between 300 Hertz and 3 kilohertz. It is often used in mine and submarines communications, as it can penetrate earth and water.

The time and location of the ULF ‘blast’ detected coincides exactly with the time and locations of the tragic collapse of a nearly 2,000 foot long the Interstate 35W Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota that killed at least a dozen people and seriously injured many others.

So far there has been no evidence linking its destruction to terrorist activity. However, according to Russian Military reports, the total and instantaneous collapse of such a massive bridge could only have been accomplished by an acoustic weapon. The United States Military is known to possess acoustic weapons.

In fact, one of the United States primary research organizations for acoustic weapons research is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Augsburg College. The acoustic weapons research facility is less than 1 mile from the Interstate 35W Bridge collapse.

Whether the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics reports have are accurate or not remains to be seen. Unfortunately, it would not be unprecedented for the US military to test weapons on civilians. The Orange County Register recently took a look back at human nuclear weapon testing that took place 50 years ago last month.

“In retrospect, the audacity of 1957’s Operation Plumbbob was stunning: a series of 29 aboveground atomic explosions witnessed at close range by 18,000 men testing their ability to fight on a nuclear battlefield. Planes flew through radioactive clouds. Marines marched through radioactive sand. Paratroopers jumped through radioactive skies…the National Association of Atomic Veterans estimates that more than 900,000 men and women took part in about 1,000 nuclear tests from 1945 to 1992. And more than 140,000 may have suffered cancer or other illnesses as a result.”

Acoustic weapons have been under research for decades in the both the US and Russia. Other nations reported to be involved in research on developing acoustic weapons include Russia, China, France, United Kingdom, and Israel. Sweden, Japan, Poland, Yugoslavia, and Denmark are reported to have acoustic weapons effects research programs. This type of weapon is commonly seen as a better alternative to nuclear weapons, as it leaves no polluting radioactive materials behind.

I am puzzled by the statement that the range from 300 hertz to 3 Kilohertze is inaudible to the human ear. Hertz is the measure of vibrations per second. One hertz is one vibration per second. The human ear is generally credited with being able to hear sounds in the range from roughly 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz, so the range you describe should fall well within the range of audibility.

The Russians love to point out US mistakes, and this would be disastrous news if it got picked up by the press. But if true, then it really should be reported. I suspect certain agencies are keeping this very quiet.

Jack you're right. I'm not an acoustic scientist, but it appears that not all of what is called ultra low frequency is inaudible to humans, but much of the range is.

In fact Katy Payne, a bioacoustic researcher at Cornell, has found that elephants, for example, use ultra-low frequencies to sing "songs" that are inaudible to the human ear. Female elephants make low-frequency sounds to attract males from surrounding regions. Also ULFs can penetrate earth and water making them effective for human transmitting to mines and submarines.

Of course, the ULF "blast" described in the reports were of a different nature, but at any rate some of the witnesses near the bridges actually did report hearing a loud sound or "explosion" prior to the bridge collapsing. Whether that has anything to do with the powerful ULF detection...who knows!

The ULF referred to by the Russians is radio waves not sound waves.

I don't know if any non-Canadians are aware that we had a similar tragedy when an overpass collapsed outside of Montreal last year. It was found that contractors had probably built with substandard materials-no conspiracy here. Many of the concrete structures built during the 50s and 60s are coming to the end of their life span. Certainly there is no need for the military to be causing these accidents.

So how exactly does a radio telescope pick up acoustic frequencies? Perhaps that clever Russian scientist saw his coffee cup vibrating.
And weren't the antenna pointing out to space rather than through the earth towards Minnesota?

According to this posting ( http://educate-yourself.org/pnl/minneapolisbridgecollapse04aug07.shtml ), this is a hoax and the SSRT reported no such ULF blast.

ULF electromagnetic radiation cannot destroy bridges. Even if an acoustic weapon was used, it would have to operate at the resonant frequency of the bridge over a period of time, and the bridge would not fail catastrophically, but rather gradually, and its resonant frequency would change. There's so many holes in this dumb article that I feel stupid pointing them out.

President Bush did it. He was trying to take out the Obama family reunion going on just a few miles down the road.

Persons who dismiss ULF do not know anything or very little about ULF. ULF is very powerful and most certainly could cause a bridge collapse. As far as hearing ULF, you do not feel it, it more a shaking like what an earthquake does. As far as needing to go on for a time to destroy a bridge, this also is not true. As far as two bridges and one standing, low frequency sound wave is a node, like a ring due to the measured distance of the sound wave from the source. This bridge collapse could most definitely be caused by ULF. One thing not mentioned was if any of the persons at the bridge perceived the effects of ULF which would be nausea and disorientation.

What is striking to me, reading comments on the stories of ULF and this bridge, is how many comments from Americans are tense and shallow. This is now often the reaction from Americans to subjects that before the dumbing down and control of the country would be viewed in a light of questions and answers and thoughtfully observing the physics of things. One thing about ULF is that practically no one knows what it is or has experience with it, how it affects humans or building structures.

See you later and good luck to the USA. You need it. Intellectually now you attack and think the free ride will continue forever and you no longer have to look at things, research, and think.
