I don't know quite why, but we love this DUMB phenomenon.

Since we're shamelessly plugging old articles *wink*, here's one we did on this topic: https://theobservermagazine.substack.com/p/that-sounds-dumb

Looking forward to your next installment. Spring in the high country has to be a wonderful time of year!

Some people scoff at the whole DUMB thing, but I don't understand it.

That's another great article, as usual. It's funny it should mention "Project Gasbuggy." A few years ago my brother and I were driving in the area around Dulce with one of my brother's former coworkers, who grew up in Los Alamos and whose father was one of the scientists in the early days.

The area up there between Dulce and Aztec is full of natural gas wells and derricks, and my brother's coworker starts talking about Project Gasbuggy. He says when they detonated the thing, all the wells in the area exploded and vented radioactive gas for days…if not longer!

Personally, I think it's just a cover story for the government's attempt to nuke that alien base underneath Archuleta Mesa near Dulce. You just can't have aliens experimenting on people on your own territory.

Anyhow, thanks for the comment! We've had a lot of moisture out here this winter, so spring is looking to be lush and green.

You're incorrect on a lot. Read Adam Gorightly.

Thanks Jeremy. I'd like to read Gorightly's "Saucers, Spooks and Kooks," based on The Observer's excellent review mentioned in the linked article above, and probably also "Round Trip to Hell in a Flying Saucer" based on the title alone.

Do you have any suggestions for some of his titles that I should read?

Oh yes…I remember all about the "earth groaning." Still shows up from time to time. I think Linda Moulton Howe used to talk about it a lot. Fascinating stuff.

And you're absolutely right. Clickbait writing is the most miserable, soul-sucking, hope-destroying, life-denying hackwork in existence. I'm fairly certain it was devised by whatever evil civilization is lurking in those tunnels underneath the western United States.

That's a great article; it does a fantastic job of investigating this baffling phenomenon. I hadn't heard of the "Auckland Hum"—but I think I saw somewhere that Auckland is built atop a volcanic field, just like Taos. I wonder if that has something to do with it?
