What You Need to Find out about Group Mediumship

Group sittings are not a type of home entertainment and you are asked not to come or organize to a sitting simply out of interest or since you have absolutely nothing better to do. Each group reading enables individual time with spirit and the medium who is acting on behalf of spirit for all members of the group.

When hearing messages, Group Readings can be handy

Often spirits will certainly come through with evidential messages for a certain member of the group. A specific message can be simple as verifying the present circumstance or evidence of the spirit being around the loved one. Those messages can assist you comprehend that life continues beyond the death of the physical form.

The Paranormal.

For me the Paranormal has always been normal. I have seen things since I was two and in fact my very first experience, a memorable one, was of seeing a “ghost”.

This was when I was walking between my parents past manor park cemetery and on being aware of “something” going on I turned round to see a man rising horizontally from the pavement to up end and stand on his feet.

As amazing as that may seem to me that wasn’t what was “wrong” he was wearing what I now know to be Victorian clothes, the whole suit with a top hat. Not seeing anyone dressed like that was odd, nothing else.

So, when my Dad asked what was wrong I simply replied “there is a funny man behind us” that was my first introduction if you like or I prefer to call it “awakening” that remembering  that I had come from somewhere else, that I was borrowing this time though not perhaps entirely sure why at that young. Some of course are far more aware.

I have seen a few since as I grew up but mostly I have felt them and the atmosphere they create.

There are basically two types of ghost phenomena.

There are basically two types of ghost phenomena, one is the “imprint type” where energy is concentrated in an area and reacts in a similar way to a recording, I simply replays the energy stored sometimes at a predestined or preset time on a par with an alarm clock, we have all heard of the “White lady who reputedly appears on such and such a date at midnight.”

This can also be triggered by events and conditions. The second type vastly more interesting is the interactive type which is where much of the current interest in media is concentrated.

This is a spirit, conscious, who interacts with our world. It will react to us in some way and shows intelligence in its responses and those responses will vary enormously. They can be from friendly, timely warnings to poltergeist phenomena, to gross interaction.

A proliferation of programmes, some obviously dubious, are not doing any favours for the serious research and work that real professionals undertake. These programs are only interested in sensationalism and are aimed at feeding a particular market.

One program in particular has a rather angry gentleman who tries to antagonise any particular spirit that is supposed to be around. This is a particularly ignorant and dangerous thing to do especially if the place itself is “haunted” the knowledge of protection is sadly misunderstood and this kind of example only encourages those who are either foolish or sceptics to try their luck.

The Paranormal is not new.

There are one or two genuine paranormal programmes in the world but generally because of the actions of some that have gained notoriety it has given the subject media wise a bad name.

This subject is one that deserves proper scientific investigation. The Paranormal is not new, throughout history people have experienced and noted down,  since man began we have had this instinct that “something exists” some have of course passed into legend and like many urban myths some have passed into folk law and become a “myth of a myth” human nature being what it is and the Chinese whispers syndrome there are many reports which will fail proper investigation but, like all things paranormal there are some that defy any “rational explanation” rational that is to tall except he debunking sceptic.

New inventions.

With the inventions of new sensitive equipment, and ways of measuring for instance there are some wonderful cameras around for example the Go Pro camera which has such a range of accessories and is highly adaptable, waterproof and extreme low light capabilities that can be used are becoming available to many people and new discoveries on of scientific investigation and some great website’s provide information on how to use equipment and where to find suitable places to investigate. Everyone now uses mobile phones, tablets etc all of which are highly portable.

Fakes, Hoaxes and sheer fraud.

This has provided very many opportunities for phenomena to be recorded and uploaded. There are of course so many fakes and there must be a good proportion of fakes propounded by debunkers who not only take great pleasure in fooling a public and underlining the fact that people can be fooled quite easily, giving them (debunkers) more confidence that “they are right” of course some are meant to fool the more serious investigator and a debunker highly prizes a piece of work that gains notoriety as real when they can at a suitable time, say “rubbish this was produced like this, we faked it and so is everything else!”

In that light there have been some notable hoaxes one of the best ever, screened as a live ghost watch was screened on 31 October 1992 with Sarah Greene and best of all Michael Parkinson which gave the show much credibility, Mr Parkinson not especially known for hoaxing being a real positive for the show apparently being real. For a link to that go to: – http://hoaxes.org/archive/permalink/ghostwatch

There are many great and genuine phenomena captured and so interesting to find. We in the UK are the most watched people in the world apparently… and the fact means that we and the world is videoed and screened more than at any time and with 24/7 surveillance more and more is captured in “normal circumstances”, daylight, and in what previously would have been unexpected places, petrol stations for example.

Science is moving fast

Science is moving incredibly fast in the field of the paranormal and especially in particular with Quantum physics.

I have been told that in 20/30 years time that “this place (Earth) will be very different” and what we do in ASSMPI as much as any real general awakening, will have a large effect on the world. Quantum physics, the awakening and the fact that people will make a different correlation to religions will all tally together to show people that the “Paranormal” is in fact actually the “real normal”.

Light, always, Leo Bonomo

The Interest in the paranormal, Ouija boards and spirit communication has risen thanks to TV shows that play on our screens. Walk into any spiritualist church and they will tell you that the entity such as Satan and demons do not exist; it is merely a wandering or grounded spirit that’s looking for help. A simple quasi-attempt to communicate with a incorporeal entity or dabble in aspects of the occult without the proper protection will undoubtedly open a pandora’s box of problems. More often than not you will certainly recognize the signs and symptoms of a possession or of a darker force until it is too late. By then, the gateway is open and your simple attempts to clear and cleanse could be little more effective than attempting to blow out a tricky candle– THE FLAME ALWAYS RETURNS.

The problem that we face is that by our nature we are an inquisitive species and will study what we do not understand– thus attempting to gain some kind of reason for knowledge. Often we will try to control the outcome of something in any way possible– even to the detriment of ourselves– believing that we have achieved the Unachievable. Let’s look at a few of these.

Ouija Boards

This is perhaps the simplest and most misunderstood method of spirit communication. According to some sources (Chinese occultists), the first historical mention of something resembling a Ouija board was found in China around 1200 B.C., a divination method known as Fuji “planchette writing”. Other sources claim that according to a French historical, a philosopher Pythagoras, in 540 B.C. his sect would conduct seances at “a mystic table.”. This was the first use of the Ouija board that came with the spiritualist movement in the mid-19th century.

Divination at that time was used to gain messages in many ways such as using a planchette to communicate. The spirit would control the planchette and move it to show letters on the board and thus spell out messages.

It is widely known and accepted that the board is used for occult practices, but it must be understood that the board is not the problem; it is merely a tool with which the user can focus his or her intent. The intention behind the use of the board is the problem. You create what your thoughts dictate and if you have the pure intent that you wish to contact spirit– you will.

As I have mentioned the board works by intention only and is not the harbinger of some mysterious power. These entities will more often than not be grounded spirits or darker entities with malice on their mind. The only spirits that can be contacted through the utilization of the board are spirits who have not crossed and often these are lower vibratory entities. A demonic entity may attach itself to a grounded spirit and thus get a piggy back ride– right to your playground. Think about this, do you really want that happening?

Investigating spirit activity. The problem we have here is that it needs some form of interaction between the spirit and the investigator entity. We are seeing time and time again, investigators calling on spirits or even challenging them which is like playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun. Professional researchers will always use a professionally trained medium as they know that they need someone who can control and discern spirits. One thing you must realize is that we are all energy in motion and are spirits in human form not the other way around. It makes sense that these spirits already have a handle on manipulation of energy and know exactly your thoughts and your fears. Never challenge the spirit – for you can’t fight what you can’t feel or see.  This is another method of ‘Calling on spirits’ and can be more bother than it is worth. By calling on a spirit you are sending out an invitation for any spirit to contact you and even if you think it is good and from the light– you can be a victim of deception and deception that could cost your life. I said before that a demon can come in the form as a being of light and if you do not have the power of discernment mastered– you are inviting all sorts of problems.

Demoniac activity. I mentioned previously that you could be inviting demons and allow me to build on this. A demon can show itself in the form of light– yet it can not by definition stand anything from the light and if questioned will show its weakness.

Invitation. Infestation. Oppression. Obsession. Possession.

Even in our modern times, satanic cults are springing up everywhere and even the Vatican has been subjugated by satanic influences. With that in mind– you have a war that is going on right now in the unseen planes of the spirit realm and this war is for the souls of mankind. You may also note that religious icons that you may have are often removed, damaged or defiled. There will be an increase in argumentative episodes or even violence. Often in cases that present evidence of demonic influence, there will often be heard noises of animals clawing or scratching and even growls not of this world.

Clearances. You can take part in as many clearance rituals as often as you like, but the truth is, if you are infested with diabolical spirits, it will take more than a simple cleansing to be rid of the influences that surround your family, your property and your own life. A clearance using ancient remedies such as sage and cedar will only work in certain occasions such as a grounded or trapped entity that is looking for help rather than being the cause of mischief. If you attempt to use a clearance on a darker entity– you will only anger this spirit and you will cause far more devastation and destruction than you realize.

Finish on a high note. Now all this may sound quite scary and in reality it is, but one thing that you should take from this article is that the realm of spirit and psychic ability is not an easy task to take on. Like all things in life there is the great balance of negative and positive and if you do not understand the balance of its nature– you will surely fall into a dark abyss that can be difficult to get out of.

Keep a true heart and study under a reputable source.

Amiable Aliens Came On A Peace Mission.

Edgar Mitchell, the former astronaut and the sixth man to moon declared after years that aliens were peacemakers who came to our planet Earth for the sake of saving us from the nuclear war that might have busted out between America and Russia.

A veteran of the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, during his interview with Mirror online said that he has always had believed in aliens and the top-ranked military basis during weapons testing spotted UFOs. The astronaut is the most prominent figures in the worldwide UFO community after he landed on the moon.

Further, Edgar Mitchell stated in his interview that military basis spotted a strange looking craft flying on the top of the missile base and the White Sands facility where world’s first ever nuclear bomb was set off in the year 1945.

Former astronaut said he grew in the New Mexico area of bomb testing and Roswell, where this world renowned encounter of UFO happened. Plus, those aliens came here on a peace operation, particularly in order to stop the humanity from destroying itself.

He said he very well knows the area of the White Sands, a famous testing ground of atomic weapons which aliens were really paying attention to. The aliens wanted to know about all the military potential and were serious checking the area.

After having discussed with many people about the incident astronaut said he clearly understands that the aliens arrived just to stop us from war and bring peace on our planet Earth. He said many other officers involved in military bases during the 20^th century had similar stories to tell.

Mitchell said further in his interview that he had spoken to many Air Force officers who worked in silos during the Cold War faced the incident when they saw UFOs flying over their bases and disabled their missiles.

He further said not only him, but many other officers had seen their missiles shot down by aliens. They had seen alien spacecraft flying very frequently in their areas and set off their test missiles.

According to Nick Pope, former Minister of Defense and UFO researcher believes completely what Edgar Mitchell had claimed. Nick Pope in his interview said that he respects Edgar Mitchell because of his truthfulness and feel it is a privilege of meeting him.

Nick Pope completely agreed with Mitchell’s statement by saying that Mitchell is a very honorable person and had all access to any of the government and intelligence community, and it is understandable he would not reveal anything which is not sure about, and therefore whatever information he has revealed about the UFOs must be right.

Also, adding to his thoughts Pope said he believes that aliens are millions of years ahead and can do whatever they want.

So, if you agree or not that peaceful aliens came to stop the nuclear war so as to save humanity, whatever you feel do leave your comments in the comments section. We welcome your thoughts on this!

There are a few names that are synonymous with the world of the paranormal; some who have gone before us and now live on the other side of the veil and some who are alive today and continue the great work of paranormal investigators before them.

First, one has to understand what the paranormal is and contrary to popular opinion driven by ignorant knowledge in the media; A paranormal investigator is not just interested in ghosts and ghouls. Paranormal Investigators research subjects that go beyond the comprehension of ordinary material understanding. They will be interested in phenomena that is unusual such as UFO, Ancient mysteries and so much more than Ghosts. However, the primary focus of Paranormal Investigators is the research and science behind what people perceive as a haunting,

John Zaffis

In the modern day; we have a few well known Paranormal Experts such as John Zaffis, who’s work is renowned throughout the world. John has been involved in some of the most terrifying investigations into hauntings and of course exorcisms of Demonic forces. John is also a prolific author and details many of his experiences in his best-selling books. As the nephew of the famed Ed and Lorraine Warren – John had some pretty big boots to fill, which he has done admirably.

Ed and Lorraine Warren

You can’t discuss anything about Paranormal Research or Paranormal Investigators without including Ed and Lorraine, who, in their time were the most experienced paranormal investigators of their time. They were known for many cases that involved Demonic possession, but one, in particular, that was portrayed in a modern day Hollywood film, “The Haunting in Connecticut”. However they were also known for many other cases such as;

• Amityville – Another well known case that hit the big screen in the 70’s
• Demon Murder – In 1981, Arne Johnson was accused of killing his landlord, Alan Bono. Ed and Lorraine Warren was called into the case prior to the killing to deal with an alleged demonic possession of the younger brother of Johnson’s fiancée. The amazing twist here was that Ed and Lorraine also claimed that Johnson was also possessed.  The case was described in the 1983 book The Devil in Connecticut by Gerald Brittle.
•  Enfield Poltergeist – In 1977, Ed and Lorraine Warren visited a home in Enfield, England that was allegedly haunted by a poltergeist. This case was awarded a lot of media coverage at the time and is considered to be a hoax by many. The case was featured in a 2015 Sky Atlantic series The Enfield Haunting starring Timothy Spall. It will also be the subject of the 2016 sequel to James Wan’s The Conjuring.

Ryan Buell

Ryan was born in Pensylvania and started the Paranormal Research Society when he was only 19 and studying at Penn State University. His investigations became the focus of a top A&E Show. He has since stopped the PRS and is continuing other pursuits in the film making industry.

The Spectacular Crop Circle.

The crop circle appeared this summer in South West England really marked as the first crop circle of the summer season in Britain. A large complex pattern of many geometrical lines and circles appear in the fields of Dorset county. Some feel it’s created by pranksters living in the local area of South West fields of England and some believe it shows the intervention of the aliens. It is estimated pattern covered 400ft. area in a field of crops. Many have stated this spectacular crop circle as the most mysterious one than other crop circles emerged in the Summer 2014.

The crop circle formation was exclusively filmed by recreational pilot, Mathew Williams, an enthusiast about crop circles. He believes it to be the most massive crop circle that has intricacy sight and emerged with a perfectly formed circle shape. This formation was formed in the wheat field that has spectacular design with perfect circular shapes. Another crop circle maker and a veteran John Lundberg think best crop circles are formed in the wheat fields because the stems are straight up right position creating crop circles with precision.

The makers of crop circle in the wheat fields of Dorset county are still unidentified and nobody knows who created them. Williams stated that there are no more crop circles makers openly found making their masterpieces because farmers hate the fact of such creations due to the loss of their crops with many people visiting their fields. These makers also avoid getting identified as they have to pay the hefty fine to the farmers and does not make circles together.

Plus, Williams had to pay an amount 100 GBP as fine in 2000 for creating crop circles. He has stopped making crop circles as he has developed hay fever due to spending too many hours in the fields.

Crop Circles Paranormal Activity?

The crop circles usually appear in the grain fields and appear suddenly during the night. There are many myths about the crop circles which are believed to be created by aliens. These created with simply bent of the grain stalks, the designs are usually of geometrical forms.

The crop circles found last year were stated to be of very low quality and marked as -crap circles by the enthusiasts. Most crop circles are created by people, but the one that appeared suddenly during the night flummox people’s mind. It makes them wonder out of the box and declared to be the paranormal activity or made by space invaders.

Williams in his interview to Daily Express stated that there are many paranormal experiences he had in the past while making crop circles. Although these creations are believed to be made by human beings, but such inspiring, and unbelievable formations as happened in Dorset force people to declare it to have paranormal origin. In his interview he further stated that he’s not the only one who experience such paranormal things in the wheat fields, but there are many others who feel the same about it.

“Each wave of sightings adds to the accumulation of reports which defy analysis by present methods….An investigative process in depth is necessary here if, after twenty years of confusion, we want some answers.” “When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science but a mighty and unexpected quantum leap.”
from an interview in The Chicago Sun Times, August 1966

James E. McDonald, PhD
Senior Physicist, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Arizona

“The type of UFO reports that are most intriguing are close-range sightings of machinelike objects of unconventional nature and unconventional performance characteristics, seen at low altitudes, and sometimes even on the ground. The general public is entirely unaware of the large number of such reports that are coming from credible witnesses….When one starts searching for such case, their number are quite astonishing.”

“It is time for the truth to be brought out…Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense….I urge immediate Congressional action to reduce the dangers from secrecy about Unidentified Flying Objects.” (Note his concern is not for the dangers from the objects but the dangers from the secrecy.)

Bas Lansdorp, a Dutch engineer and entrepreneur, plans to establish a permanent base on Mars in a mission he hopes will take off in 2022 if he can find the necessary $6 billion.

One in four of the 202,586 applicants for the one-way trip are Americans, said Mars One, the non-profit group which initiated its hunt for “would-be Mars settlers” in April.

There are also hopefuls from India (10 percent), China (six percent) and Brazil (five percent), among other countries, it said.

By 2015, Mars One expects put up to 10 four-member teams through intensive training, with the first of those teams reaching to Mars in 2023 on a high-risk journey that would take seven months to complete.

Bas Lansdorp, a Dutch engineer and entrepreneur

If they survive the trip, the human Martians will have to deal with minus 55 degrees C (minus 67 F) temperatures in a desert-like atmosphere that consists mainly of carbon dioxide.

They’ll also have to consent to being observed back on Earth full-time as stars of a reality TV show that would help cover expenses.

The project has the support of Gerard ‘t Hooft, the Dutch joint winner of the Nobel prize for physics in 1999.

“The long term aim is to have a lasting colony,” said ‘t Hooft in New York in April. “This expansion will not be easy. How soon that will be accomplished is anyone’s guess.”

Space agencies including NASA have expressed skepticism about the viability of Lansdorp’s plan, saying the technology to establish a human colony on Mars does not exist.

Mars One says on its website that the mission is a decade-long endeavor, with funding intended to come from the global audience of an interactive, televised broadcast of every aspect of the mission.

So far, there have only been unmanned missions to Mars undertaken by NASA, which has signaled its intent to send astronauts there within 20 years.

Phytoplankton uses carbon dioxide to grow and produces oxygen as a by-product. It needs sunlight and nutrients to grow, when it dies, the carbon dioxide in its cells sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

Phytoplankton needs iron to grow, yet it is not always available in sufficient quantities. The iron sulphate dumped in the ocean is thought to cause a large Phytoplankton population, soaking up more carbon dioxide, and removing it from the air.

Geoengineering is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climatic system with the aim of reducing global warming. The term geo-engineering or climate engineering is a bracket-term for two categories of technologies- carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management.

The long-term effects of these projects are unknown and could cause entire eco-systems to change or collapse. The effect of even one species of bird or insect dying off could be devastating and cause a chain reaction that would lead to an environmental disaster.

Who is to blame?

The operation was executed by Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation, under the direction of businessman Russ George. It was done in secret, without scientific peer review or process, and without international collaboration. It could have global ecological consequences.

It is yet another example of a quick-fix, of the symptom not the cause of
pollution.

If that is the case, then we might be able to understand more clearly how this Earth has been a sort of a way station, a distant outpost that lies at the mercy of these interstellar travelers passing through on their way to other mysterious worlds.

Police have drawn a blank so far in their investigation into the death of a horse which was found badly mutilated in a Cornwall field.

The stallion, called Erik, suffered severe injuries to its head and body at Stithians.

The two-and-a-half-year-old horse was attacked between 8 and 9 January.

Police are waiting for the results of toxicology tests on the horse and say they are still hopeful of catching the attacker.

Investigating officer Insp Chris Strickland said: “We are no further forward.

“We’ve followed up almost all lines of inquiry and have drawn a blank.

“We are taking the investigation very seriously. It would be great to catch whoever did this.”
Horse struggled

He said investigations suggested more than one person was involved in the attack on the horse, which had been sedated.

Insp Strickland said: “The horse did struggle at some point. Whether it was before or after they sedated it, we do not know.”

He said that he had received more calls from the public about the case than any other in his 24 years as a policeman.

“We know how concerned people are about this case,” he said.

“For anyone to attack an animal like this is quite shocking.”

He said the force was keeping an open mind about the reason for the attack, including ritual killing “but it could just be a nutcase”.

Devon and Cornwall Police have been advising horse owners to improve their security.

They pair say they saw something strange in the sky as they drove past a wooded area near Arlaw Banks.
Mrs Wetherill said: “We saw this thing heading towards us – it was coming right at us and was as low as the car and huge. It was very frightening.
“Bruce kept driving but we both ducked down, expecting it to hit us. I thought, ‘This is it, we’ve had it’.”
The Wetherills said the UFO, which was shaped like a flying saucer, was dark on top but glowed underneath and made no sound.

At the last moment, it lifted up and narrowly missed the car, they said. Mr Wetherill said: “It was an amazing thing – it came so close to us that I thought it was going to crash on us.
“We were waiting for an explosion, but then it disappeared. It all took place in a split-second.”
The 84-year-old said the UFO disappeared into the sky.
“I’m a realist, but I know what I saw and it was unbelievable.

“If I lived to 200 I would never see anything like it again,” Mr Wetherill said.
Mrs Wetherill, who is also convinced about what she saw, said the UFO had steel-like tentacles hanging down.
The couple said the flying saucer came so close that they expected to see scratches on the roof of their vehicle.
But when they investigated, there were none.

Mrs Wetherill said that since the encounter, she has been too scared to drive past the spot at night.
The couple said the incident happened two years ago but they wanted to come forward after a spate of recent UFO sightings in Teesdale.

Late last month, the Air Force Research Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing revamped a call for research proposals examining “Advances in Bioscience for Airmen Performance.” It’s a six-year, $49 million effort to deploy extreme neuroscience and biotechnology in the service of warfare.

One suggested research thrust is to use “external stimulant technology to enable the airman to maintain focus on aerospace tasks and to receive and process greater amounts of operationally relevant information.” (Something other than modafinil, I guess.) Another asks scientists to look into “fus[ing] multiple human sensing modalities” to develop the “capability for Special Operations Forces to rapidly identify human-borne threats.” No, this is not a page from The Men Who Stare at Goats.

But perhaps the oddest, and most disturbing, of the program’s many suggested directions is the one that notes: “Conversely, the chemical pathway area could include methods to degrade enemy performance and artificially overwhelm enemy cognitive capabilities.” That’s right: the Air Force wants a way to fry foes’ minds — or at least make ‘em a little dumber.

It’s the kind of official statement that’s seized on by anyone who is sure that the CIA planted a microchip in his head, or thinks that the Air Force is controlling minds with an antenna array in Alaska. The same could be said about the 711th’s call to “develop technologies to anticipate, find, fix, track, identify, characterize human intent and physiological status anywhere and at anytime.”

The ideas may sound wild. They are wild. But the notions aren’t completely out of the military-industrial mainstream. For years, armed forces and intelligence community researchers have toyed with ways of manipulating minds. During the Cold War, the CIA and the military allegedly plied the unwitting with dozens of psychoactive drugs, in a series of zany (and sometimes dangerous) mind-control experiments. More recently, the Pentagon’s most revered scientific advisory board warned in 2008 that adversaries could develop enhancements to their “cognitive capabilities … and thus create a threat to national security.” The National Research Council and Defense Intelligence Agency followed suit, pushing for pharma-based tactics to weaken enemy forces. In recent months, the Pentagon has funded projects to optimize troop’s minds, prevent injuries, preemptively assess vulnerability to traumatic stress, and even conduct “remote control of brain activity using ultrasound.”

The Air Force is warning potential researchers that this project “may require top secret clearance.” They’ll also need a high tolerance for seemingly loony theories — sparked by the military itself.

This stunning detection suggests radon progeny generated by continuing fissile re-criticality at the three melted down and out Fukushima nuclear reactors and perhaps additional radiation caused by the Japanese government’s decision to burn over 550,000 tons of radioactive waste in October, much of which will end up as fallout.

Pockets of lethal levels of radiation have been detected at Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in a fresh reminder of the risks faced by workers battling to contain the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
