(In what seems like a follow-up to Omal’s discussion on the photon cloud, he now updates our planet’s passage through after over a year. We also cover the ozone layer and its effects as we move on the weather patterns that are related to a great combination of factors such as solar events and space events. Some of the significant events he mentions are related to Atlantis, the Incas and ancient Rome.)

Omal: okay, let us progress, let us answer more questions please.

Russ: okay, you mentioned the photon cloud and that's something that we haven’t really dealt with in a long time but it’s something since you brought it up, worthy to explore just a little bit.

Omal: okay.

Russ: at that time when we last discussed it we were on the fringes of it and it’s been approximately about a year since then that we discussed it….

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and I’m curious as to how much of that cloud are we starting to really fully get into now?

Omal: you’re starting to see more denser patches. You’re still certainly very much on the fringe of it but it is certainly more further in than you were last year and therefore like a cloud where you first get into the fringes and it is very light and wispy and you can still see around you, you’re now into patches where it is more dense and you cannot see out of but a few moments pass and you're into a more wispy area progressing into a more denser area.

Russ: okay, as such, the results and changes that might occur because of this?

Omal: I believe we covered them pretty extensively when we were discussing it about a year ago when we initially started discussing it.

Russ: I was going to use it on the website, I can’t remember what I wrote down now.

Omal: ahh, you do not have shall I say long-term memory?

Russ: I only have short-term memory.

(Skip chuckles)

Omal: ahh, I see humor going backwards and forwards. Okay, more questions please?

Skip: yeah, yeah, yeah I have one. We have destroyed or punched a hole in our own ionosphere…..

Omal: uh-huh.

Skip: I've heard reports from different sources within the last six, eight months that it’s slowly closing itself back up, is this true?

Omal: that is correct.

Skip: okay, then that means that the Freon isn’t being discharged like it was years ago?

Omal: that is correct.

Skip: okay, all right, I just wanted to verify that.

Omal: now something that I may add to that is that the ozone does regenerate itself. Ozone at a lower level is a health problem, high up it is a protectorate. So the ozone that you generate that adds into such things as smog is actual fact something that is being generated and repaired. However there is a natural cycle involving the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, it will decrease and increase. For your species to be concerned about it is very wise to be concerned about it however the knowledge that you have of the natural cycle of the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica only covers maybe 30 years, 40 years at most. So you really don’t know the cycle and the long-term effects that are being attributed to the ozone layer. Now too much ozone in your atmosphere is again a problem. Do you know what happens if you have too much ozone in your upper atmosphere?

Skip: it probably replaces the oxygen.

Omal: up at that altitude that is not a problem.

Skip: oh okay.

Omal: you do not go that high.

Skip: okay.

Russ: start to block solar radiation more?

Omal: it does the opposite, it traps it.

Russ: hmm.

Skip: oh, that’s why we’re getting the UV rays heavier, heavier.

Omal: because it is again part of the natural cycle.

Skip: uh-hmm.

Omal: it gets thicker and denser and then it thins out and moves around and there are quite a few different things that go on with the ozone layer that you’re not fully aware of. As I stated, you have at most 40 years worth of knowledge on what the ozone actually does.

Skip: in other words, it acts like a magnifier……excuse me, I didn’t mean to…..

Omal: oh certainly.

Skip: it acts like a magnifier.

Omal: in one way yes.

Skip: huh, okay that makes sense.

Omal: just as you start to name phenomena using Latin names, I don’t mean you personally but I mean your local scienity. Such things as El Niño and La Niña are pretty new terms in your vocabulary that until recently weren’t understood or even named so you had four or five years of extremely dry weather where you had a drought. Conversely you had a number of years where you had a wet period and high precipitation. These are not new phenomena, they’re just old names being revised to replace phenomena that was, “okay it was a bad winter, it was a good winter, it was a dry winter, it was a wet winter.” Now it is looked upon as new terminology and something worth studying.

Russ: hmm.

Skip: inventing new words for old terms.

Omal: more old terms, the El Niño and La Niña are terms that were introduced by the Hispanics when they came from Spain into the new....what you call the New World.

Skip: uh-huh, we are the New World yeah.

Omal: so it is something that if you were...if the indigenous aboriginals of your area had kept written records of climate, temperature, precipitation and so on, you would see a very distinct and definite pattern after all. A lot of the civilizations that have been around, if their records had survived, you would have two, 3,000 years worth of records which would give you a very interesting pattern that would be worth studying and analyzing and seeing the regular cycles. Those cycles are not clockwork regular but they are within five years of a cycle which over two to three thousand years, is fairly regular. Okay, any more questions?

Russ: uh-huh. Since we’re on cycles, one quick question on that is, are we at the point of a cycle where had we better records we can keep more track of this but through the civilizations since the dawn of man where social phenomenon, I mean natural phenomena set off social pressures that have either increased or decreased the population’s ability to deal with it where you see civilizations go under or build up due to natural phenomenon and the pressures held back by that? Are we like unconsciously or subconsciously feeling those pressures again as the cycle reaches its point?

Omal: certainly, certainly. If you had extensive records for the last let us say 5,000 years of natural events, space events, solar events, you would see that there is a definite cycle and civilizations either flourish or become extinct on how they handle those events. If you were to take something like the events of Atlantis, you would see that there are certainly very interesting cycles that a civilization if it survives becomes much, much stronger. Conversely, if the civilization is hit by it and is weakened, eventually the civilization fades away and becomes extinct. They’re not just natural phenomenon. If you take for example the Incan Empire, as soon as they had contact with the Western world, they had serious problems and eventually it became an extinct civilization.

Russ: couldn’t handle the pressure. Then what about with Rome with like say Pompeii? Pompeii happened just about the last part of Rome.

Omal: yes that certainly had an interesting factor in it. It happened in I believe 75 A.D. which definitely wasn’t the end of Rome.

Russ: right.

Omal: Rome flourished for another couple hundred years. The rot that was causing the problem for Rome had already started at that point, this was just a factor that occurred and caused problems later on. Certainly there were a number of very prominent and well-to-do individuals that were caught in both the catastrophe at Pompeii and Herculaneum which did play a part in the more widespread corruption that developed later on.

Russ: hmm, okay. Well done, thank you. Thanks Omal.

Omal: not a problem. No more questions?

Skip: no.......

Russ: no.

Skip: not for me, thank you.

Omal: okay, live long, prosper and, I will be back.
