Strange Frequency Readings Near Thorne
Research Facilities
Filed September 14, 2000 | Horizon Watchers
Network
Beginning in early June 2000,
multiple independent observers
within the Horizon Watchers
network began reporting
persistent, anomalous
electromagnetic readings in the
ELF and VLF bands in areas of
the Pacific Northwest associated
with known or suspected Thorne
Research Corporation (TRC)
facilities and operational
zones.
The readings do not correspond
to identified natural
geomagnetic sources, regional
power infrastructure, or any
catalogued military transmission
system in this frequency range.
Amplitude and modulation
characteristics suggest an
artificial, scheduled origin. As
of this filing, 12 independent
observers have contributed
corroborating data. Monitoring
continues.
Thorne Research Corporation did
not respond to requests for
comment submitted by two network
contributors in August 2000.

Thorne Research Corporation
(TRC) is a privately held
research and technology firm
whose published work spans
"quantum organic systems,
climate enhancement
technologies, and cognitive
digital links between humans and
digital worlds." Public records
and patent filings suggest at
least one active research
facility in Skagit County,
Washington, and a secondary
operational site on the Olympic
Peninsula. The company does not
publicly disclose facility
locations.
Horizon Watchers began receiving
informal field reports of
unusual readings in the Pacific
Northwest corridor in late
spring 2000. Initial assessments
attributed the anomalies to
equipment artifact or local
power line harmonic
interference. After independent
corroboration by three separate
observers using three different
receiver platforms in June, the
network opened formal monitoring
file HW-2000-047 on June 21,
2000. Contributors have grown
from 3 to 12 since that date.

independent observers and
cross-verified against network
baseline data collected since
1997:

|
Consistent timing.
Observed primarily
July 20-28. No
natural or
industrial analog
identified.
|
All observed signals fall within
the ELF (Extremely Low
Frequency, 3-30 Hz) and SLF
(Super Low Frequency, 30-300 Hz)
bands. These ranges are
associated with geomagnetic
field research, experimental
high-power transmission
technologies, and certain
submarine communication systems.
Background readings for this
region have been characterized
by network observers since 1997.
These signals are anomalous
against that baseline. The 11.2
Hz primary in particular shows
none of the diurnal variation
expected of a natural
geomagnetic source.

The following summaries are
drawn from direct field reports
submitted to the network
coordinator between June and
September 2000. Observer handles
are used with permission. Full
observation logs are on file
with the network coordinator.
RADIOGHOST
—
Oregon/Washington
Coastal Region
Equipment: Icom IC-R75
wideband receiver, Wellbrook
ALA1530 active loop antenna,
Spectrogram 5.1 logging
software running on Windows
98
First documented the 11.2 Hz
anomaly on June 3, 2000,
during a routine evening
monitoring session. Initial
attribution was power-line
harmonic artifact from
regional grid. Subsequent
monitoring across three
nights confirmed signal
persistence independent of
local grid load
variations.
Signal strength shows a
rough inverse correlation
with distance estimates to
TRC operational areas in
Skagit County, consistent
with a fixed-point
terrestrial source. By
mid-June, the 47.3 Hz
carrier had become reliably
detectable on clear
evenings. No radio astronomy
sources, military
transmission schedules, or
industrial equipment in this
region have been identified
that match this combined
signature.
SPECTRUMWATCH
—
Greater Seattle Area,
Washington
Equipment: Custom-built
ELF/VLF receiver (based on
MIT Haystack Observatory
design documentation),
30-meter buried horizontal
loop antenna, Windows 98
logging system with 24-hour
unattended recording
Independent observation
commenced June 17, 2000,
after receiving alert from
network coordinator.
Confirmed the 11.2 Hz
primary signal and 47.3 Hz
carrier within 48 hours of
beginning monitoring. The
24-hour logging setup
allowed SPECTRUMWATCH to
document the temporal
pattern of the broadband
82-91 Hz interference band
across three distinct active
cycles in June and July.
Particular note: the AM
modulation pattern on the
47.3 Hz carrier is not
consistent with any
industrial equipment or HVDC
transmission line noise
characterized in this
region. SPECTRUMWATCH
describes the modulation
pattern as appearing
"deliberate" in the sense
that it is too regular and
structured to be artifact.
No decoding of the
modulation has been
attempted.
CASCADELISTENER
—
Cascade Mountain Range
Foothills,
Washington
Equipment: Delta Radio
DR-1000 VLF receiver,
vertical whip antenna array
(x3, triangulated), Stanford
Research Systems SR770 FFT
spectrum analyzer
Monitoring from a
low-interference site in the
foothills, approximately 40
miles east of the nearest
suspected TRC operational
area. Despite this distance,
the 11.2 Hz primary signal
is clearly detectable.
High-resolution FFT data
from the SR770 shows the
signal with a narrow
bandwidth inconsistent with
natural geomagnetic
fluctuation of any kind.
CASCADELISTENER's data
reveals a clear operational
pattern: signal intensity is
highest on weekday evenings
between approximately 20:00
and 02:00 local time.
Weekend readings show
consistently reduced
intensity. This schedule is
inconsistent with natural
sources and consistent with
a facility running on a
standard operational
schedule. Working
hypothesis: a scheduled
high-power ELF transmission
from a fixed installation.
FJORDWATCHER
—
San Juan County,
Washington
Equipment: Icom IC-R75
wideband receiver, Wellbrook
ALA1530 active loop antenna,
custom low-noise
preamplifier (homebrew,
schematic on file)
Monitoring from the San Juan
Islands, positioned between
the Olympic Peninsula and
the Washington mainland.
This location provides clear
signal paths to both
identified TRC operational
areas. FJORDWATCHER
confirmed all primary
signals documented by other
observers. The 3.7 Hz
periodic pulse was first
identified at this location,
subsequently confirmed by
RADIOGHOST with more
sensitive equipment after
being alerted to look for
it.
Of particular note:
FJORDWATCHER reports that
signal intensity spiked
sharply during a three-day
window from
July 22-25, 2000.
Readings during this period
were approximately 2.4 times
the established baseline
intensity across all
documented frequencies.
Levels returned to prior
values by July 27.
During this same July 22-25
window, FJORDWATCHER
observed and documented what
are described as notable
disruptions in local marine
mammal behavior. Harbor seal
populations along the
eastern shore exhibited
unusual proximity to land. A
resident orca pod was
observed behaving in ways
described by a local
commercial kayak operator as
"off"; tight grouping in
unusually shallow water,
repeated surface agitation
without the feeding behavior
that typically accompanies
it. Two island residents
independently reported
unusual animal behavior near
the water during this
period, without
prompting.
FJORDWATCHER does not assert
a causal link between the
signal spike and the animal
behavior. The temporal
correlation is noted because
it may be relevant to future
analysis. The observation is
included here for the
record.

Two network contributors
submitted written requests for
comment to Thorne Research
Corporation via both the
company's published corporate
mailing address and the general
inquiry address listed on their
website.
The first request, submitted
July 8, 2000, asked
whether TRC operated any
transmission equipment in the
ELF or VLF frequency ranges in
Washington state, and whether
the company was aware of the
signal characteristics
documented here. No response was
received.
A follow-up request was
submitted August 3, 2000.
No response has been received as
of the date of this filing.
Thorne Research
Corporation did not
respond to requests for
comment.

The following external resource
may be of interest to
researchers reviewing this
report:
deepwebleaks.org/thorne-darpa-links.html
Analysis of TRC's alleged
connections to
government-funded research
programs, including a
defense-agency behavioral
modeling initiative.
References to classified
ELF-band research in the
Pacific Northwest are
potentially relevant to the
transmission patterns
documented here. We have not
verified the sourcing of
that document
independently.
|
This file remains open. The
signals documented here have not
been identified, explained, or
attributed to any known natural,
industrial, or military source.
The corroboration across 12
independent observers using
different equipment platforms
eliminates equipment artifact as
a probable explanation.
This report has been reviewed by
the network coordinator and two
regional advisors prior to
publication. The data is
considered reliable. The
interpretation is not settled
and we do not speculate here on
the nature or purpose of the
source.
Monitoring by the four primary
contributors continues.
Additional observers have been
invited to contribute,
particularly from Skagit County
and the eastern San Juan
Islands, where signal density is
highest.
We will continue
monitoring. If you are in
this area and have
equipment, please
contribute.
