Mt Kilauea Lava Flows due to Solar Flare
The recent Solar Flares due to a massive Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) have caused a spike in Lava activity at Hawaii’s Mt Kilauea. There was also an increase in Aurora Light shows and as many people have noticed the weather is unusually hot for this time of year in the Southern Hemisphere and incredibly hot in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sky-watchers and astronomers witnessed a spectacular display of natural lights on Friday caused by the strong solar flare that occurred on Aug. 2, 2011.
The flares, which are backed by a small radiation storm and a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME), stimulated aurorae on Friday night and could disrupt power grids and satellites.
The Northern Lights lit up the night sky unusually far south on Friday. Auroras were photographed in United States in Montana, Maine, Colorado and even Nebraska, while reports of Northern Lights also came from many European countries including Germany, Denmark, Scotland and the Netherlands.
An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions. It is usually observed at night and typically occurs in the ionosphere. It is also referred to as a polar aurora. It is caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth’s magnetic field.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a warning for G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm as G2 (Moderate) conditions has already surpassed.
This activity leads directly to the Crop Circle debate in which UFO believers have said that the crop circles are a message to humanity to be aware of the events of the coming year as we come to the end of the Mayan calendar. We should be prepared for a massive spike in the suns energy due to a natural cycle which is going to be unusually intense this time round.
