Are there any unusual seismic, cosmic, lunar, solar or electrical activities that have been occurring?

There was a meteor shower the last few days, but those happen about once a month or so, with varying intensities, so nothing new there really.  I think there's no reason to think there's a correlation between your animal's behaviour and cosmic events (since there has never been shown to have a correlation before, except during solar eclipses).  Check their food or any stressful factors instead before trying to blame the universe.

Aurora can also look like waves or ripples going through the sky.  I think radiating away from the pole.  That's the only kind I've seen, but it was cool and really weird.

Umm,.. hmm.  You should probably google this, keyword: superconductors.  Its not really a new discovery.

The Tunguska Event.\n\nA huge non-nuclear, sub atomic explosion in the skis over Siberia. \n\nThe theories around the cause of the explosion are varied;\n\nStray Anti-Matter particle.\nComet/ Meteor overheating and exploding on entry.\nSolar Particle disruption caused by mass sunspot activity.\nBy product of a Solar Mass Ejection event. \nA Primordial Black hole.\n\nOne theory I read stated that according to the "math" the instantaneous opening and collapse of a wormhole would release the same amount of energy.\n\nAny way, it happened in 1906, but a "rescue" mission wasn't sent for 10 years because at the time that part of Siberia was so remote they had to build railways roads and bridges to get there.

check out this link...shows all recent earthquake activity in California.  Looks like Sacramento and north are clearest.\n\nhttp://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm

Go to the United States Geological Survey website at www.usgs.gov  They have a list of the most recent earthquakes. It's kind of a fun site to see anyway.

Absolutely!  There are too many unknowns out there to dismiss life's mysteries (like ghosts or aliens).  I think we all have felt very strange and unique impulses that we couldn't truly define, which when acted upon helped us either avoid bad situations (like choosing a different route to work that helped us avoid an accident) or feeling like something good was about to happen and then running into an old friend.  \n\nIf this type of stuff interests you, you should read the book The Celestine Prophecy.  It's a fiction book that helps bring home how few coincidences there are in life.  In other words, most things are supposed to happen for a reason.  It's a fun read that won't take more than the weekend.  \n\nLastly, I don't know what "astral projection" is, but I'm going to Google it and check it out.

Space.  No kidding.  Sprites and Elves show us that the energy is coming from way up in the ionosphere, which is the outer boundary of the Earth's electric field.  Unfortunately, all the scientists we have nowadays are stupid or the satellites have been hijacked by someone who doesn't want us to know what causes lightning. Either way, it's not official yet.  But with all the crazy weather we've been getting nowadays and with all the awesome thunderstorms that cause hundreds of thousands of cloud to ground strikes, it shouldn't be too long before somebody realizes all this energy has to be coming from somewhere other than the clouds themselves.

(m)\n\nAustralian and American researchers investigating forces exerted on the Indo-Australian tectonic plate have discovered that the considerable stresses being exerted on the plate could be leading to its breaking up.\n\nARC Professorial Fellow, Mike Sandiford, from the University of Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences was recently awarded ARC funding for research aimed at understanding the forces that drive the motion of the Earth’s tectonic plates and the distribution of stresses in the Earth’s crust that give rise to great earthquakes such as the magnitude 9 Boxing Day Sumatran quake.\n\nProfessor Sandiford says the research shows that as much as 10 per cent of the huge amounts of energy being created at plate connection points at Sumatra and Java are being transferred back into our plate and causing major stresses.\n\n“This is enough stress to contribute to mild earthquake activity in the central regions of the plate, such as in the Australian continent or central Indian Ocean, and provides us with clues as to why our plate has been slowly breaking up,” he says.\n\n“The Indian Ocean quakes are, in effect, leading to the active rupture of the Indo-Australian plate into separate Indian and Australian plates. This new research provides us with important information about the stresses that are driving this drawn out tectonic plate divorce.”\n\nThe research, which was conducted in collaboration with Wouter Pieter Schellart of the Australian National University and David Coblentz of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US, will be published in the journal Geology (27 January).\n\nThe research is also important for understanding why smaller intra-plate earthquakes such as the 1989 Newcastle quake, which occurred nowhere near the edge of the plate, take place. Up to now, why earthquakes occur in apparently safe zones in the centre of plates has not been very well understood.\n\nProfessor Sandiford says, “Earthquakes such as the 1989 Newcastle quake that killed 13 people and caused more than $1 billion in damages are just one manifestation of mild tectonic activity that has been affecting the Australian continent for the last 5-10 million years.”\n\nThe new research shows that stresses originating at points of collision between two plates are being dissipated back into our plate and generating enormous internal stresses.\n\nThe ARC funded project will map the spatial and temporal pattern of this tectonic activity and relate it to the factors that drive the motion of the Indo-Australian plate.\n\n“This research will contribute to our understanding of the factors that drive plate motion, to earthquake risk assessment in Australia and other comparatively stable continental regions, and to the factors that have shaped our distinctive Australian landscapes,” he says.\n\nBACKGROUND INFORMATION\n\nWhat causes tectonic plates to move?\nThe Earth is made up of a series of layers. The outermost layer is called the crust and the innermost is the core. In between lies an area called the mantle (in turn made up of upper and lower mantle), which is arguably the most important when it comes to understanding where big earthquakes occur.\n\nThe outer part of the Earth, comprising the crust and top 100 or so kilometres of the mantle (together called the lithosphere), consists of a collection of eight major plates which almost fit perfectly together. The continents and oceans all lie on these plates, the major ones referred to as the African, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, Antarctic, Philippine, Pacific, Nazca, North American and South American, depending on their geographic location.\n\nThese plates (also referred to as tectonic plates) float on the softer mantle underneath. Convection currents within the upper mantle layer are a major driving force driving plate motion and therefore behind earthquake activity.\n\nThe lower sections of the mantle closest to the molten core of the earth are also the hottest parts of this la

Even the tilt of the Earth is messed up from that tsunami.. Where I live, I noticed the sun and moon's rising/setting patterns of changed immensely.

Yes.  There was even one today!  Magnitude 4.8 at a depth of 8.4km in the north east.\n\nCheck out this site:\n\nhttp://www.iris.edu/seismon/\n\n{edit}  Doh!  Someone beat me to it!

I can't give any explanation to your question, but I've had a similar experience some 9 yrs before. I was studying for my college exams that time and I came out to the terrace to relax. It was about 4am and the moon was going down. Suddenly it started to decrease in size just like during an eclipse - but only much faster and finally vanished.\nI asked about it to my Professor who said it couldnot've happened.\nNow, atleast I know somebody who have had a similar experience.

Ben Franklin discovered electricity when he was visiting Mars. They have electrical storms something fierce up there, if memory serves me correctly.

National Geografic website has a lot of information about it. \nIf you go to the linlk provided and then to the section of Natural Forces, you will find a lot of material to support your research. \n\nSecond link is about simulate and understand these events, explaning how it works at all their levels. You can find it to Earthquake, Hurricane, etc. I've putted the link to Vulcanoes\n\nGood luck

whether ballons, electrical diffuses in sky due to sun flares if you live near the poles. Some times we believe and see things which are actually not there. satellites can also be mistaken for UFO's
