SESSION SUMMARY :
.
The predominate feature of the target is a pair of large, up
right objects which are crossed at the top. They are heavy and
solid and feel as if they were once part of a larger object. They
have the concept of "supported" associated with them. There is a
cluster of small roundish objects which hangs directly from the
intersection created where the up rights cross.
There is the
impression that they are not independent objects in the sense that
they are separated from a hard surface.
They feel almost as if
they are part of a carved stone relief.
The are surrounding the target made me squeeze several times.
The air was thick with a powdery material which caused my eyes to
itch as well as making me cough. It felt very hot and dry. It is
particularly bright in this area.
A
portion of the target contains an alignment of large,
squarish objects which set on one another. They are reminiscent of
monumental sized shaped stone. There is a sense of age associated
with this target with much of the target in a state of what would
be considered ruin by some.
>
I sense an underlying nature of hostility associated with
either the target itself or the region in which the target occurs.

Advance warnings of
volcanic blasts in the
Philippines and Japan
show how researchers
are getting the knack of
predicting eruptions
By J. MADELEINE NASH CHICAGO
W
hen 15,000 anxious Americans
were evacuated from Clark Air
Base in the Philippines last
week, they didn't know what to think.
Were they in real danger or the victims of a
false alarm? Within 48 hours, they got their
answer. Nearby Mount Pinatubo, after
sleeping quietly for more than 600 years,
suddenly erupted in a series of explosions
that shot plumes of steam and ash as much
as 30 km (20 miles) into the sky. Debris
rained down on surrounding villages, and a
giant mushroom cloud was visible 100 km
(60 miles) away in Manila.
The confirmed death toll was only six in
the first few days, thanks to advance warn-
ings and speedy evacuations. But great dan-
gers remained. Fearing bigger explosions,
officials ordered tens of thousands evacuat-
ed. An approaching typhoon, moreover,
threatened to send destructive mudslides
down the mountain. Whatever happens,
the swift action by the government reflected
the improving ability of scientists to moni-
tor volcanic activity and identify the telltale
events that presage eruptions.
Mount Pinatubo's blasts came just one
week after Japan's Mount Unzen blew its
top, with more deadly results. The red-hot
avalanches hurtling down the mountain's
slopes killed at least 35 people. But the toll
could have been much higher if scientists
had not sounded the alarm that an erup-
tion was imminent. In fact, many of those
killed were journalists and volcanologists
drawn to the mountain by the warnings,
whereas most residents of the area fled to
safety. They may have to stay away for a
long while: Mount Unzen erupted again
last week, and the worst may not be over. A
