During July 2018, we made several reports regarding the earthquake swarm we observed in Yellowstone National Park. At the same time, according to the USGS, nothing seemed to happen there. However, on August 10, Fox News suddenly reported to the stunned public that there were 153 earthquakes in Yellowstone in July and geologists are talking about the swarm:
This is followed by even more awesomely informative thesis that Yellowstone last erupted 630,000 years ago, and that in October 2017, researchers Hannah Shamloo and Christy Till analyzed the minerals in the fossilized ash from the most recent eruption, based on which they are something. made up about the speed of the likely eruption. In general, empty newspaper chatter on a topic close to geology. However, 153 official shocks are real news. And no less interesting news - attention to the Fox News volcano.
And we are also not leaving the caldera behind. In particular, on Sunday, August 12, at least one significant seismic event occurred in the caldera area:
Promotional video:
The event time is 15:30 UTC. The force of the shock cannot be determined because the seismograph readings are clipped. At first glance, these red stripes even look like an artifact, but this "artifact" was observed on 8 more sensors at the same time, that is, at 15:30 UTC:
The picture, as we can see, is impossible even in theory, since if there was an earthquake in Yellowstone at 15:30 UTC, then all sensors should have seen it. If the earthquake was somewhere hundreds of kilometers away in Montana and a wave just came to Yellowstone, then again, all the sensors should have seen this wave. But half of the sensors have nothing at all.
See what everyone says about this on the site
Thus, on the USGS website, we are told that in the national park nothing comes from the word AT ALL.
Not satisfied with the answer, we go to the site of the glorious University of Utah, but even there they tell us: nothing has been registered in Yellowstone National Park over the past day:
According to this screenshot, the last time the last earthquake was on August 10th, the question about the seismic event on 08/12/18 at 15:30 UTC remains open. And exactly the same open questions on other aftershocks on August 12, there were at least three of them.
If the seismologists of the glorious University of Utah or the guys serving the USGS website were typing in the data with their fingers, that is, by hand, then one would think that summer, vacation, people relaxed and failed the service. But the problem is that the data on the site appears automatically, no one drives anything there. Hence, the following possible explanation assumes that the real data is hiding.
And this is what is most important. It doesn't matter what happened there on 08/12/18 at 15:30 UTC or on other days. The main thing is that there is some kind of intentional hardware corruption of the data. This speaks of the seriousness of the situation in the park, since they will not hide a couple of extra 1.9 or 2.0 there from anyone. And then Fox News was connected to the topic, that is, it turns out that in July there actually was a swarm. Is it so that viewers are not too surprised by the reports of the American TASS in August?
In general, it seems that, as we said back in July, the situation with Yellowstone is developing: the bison are running, the rocks are cracking, the geysers have all raised the temperature as one, a seismic swarm, only not in 153 earthquakes a month, but more than a hundred a day. And that's just what you can see.
