Nuclear Explosion Over Netherlands
Status: Undetermined
Gerrit forwarded links to radar maps showing some extremely unusual cloud activity over the Netherlands. I managed to visit the radar sites myself in time to see the unusual clouds. However, the maps have since updated and are no longer showing the same activity. But I can vouch that, for a while, they really were displaying the sudden appearance of a mysterious ring of clouds around the Netherlands. Screenshots of the radar image have been posted here and here. Has anyone checked that the Netherlands are still around?

About 10 years ago, the Aum Supreme Truth sect (the ones that gassed the Tokyo subway) bought some land in Western Australia and started doing some weird experiments.
I think it was to do with either seismic or electromagnetic technology, but one of the effects of it was large circular cloud formations in the area. And the sheep turned inside out
OK that last bit was a bit rich, but I 50% sure the rest of its true.
The cloud formations would presumably have been on a much smaller scale than the pic above but there's no harm in getting hysterical about it.

Don't worry about the lack of shells on the Zombie kit. Once you shoot a few of them, they always seem to drop more ammunition. Of course, I don't know why zombies carry shotgun ammunition, but they always seem to.

I think Logic Fan, when mentioning "roost rings" (flocks of birds) is severely underestimating the diameter of this particular ring! That would be one hell of a bird-flock...

It's kind of sad that the first thing I thought of when I saw this pic was "coffee ring."

"It seems there's been a few logical explainations for the image. I just wonder which one is true."
It's not roost rings. Apart from being almost perfectly circular, it is too large (its radius is about 200 miles).
It's not anaprop either. One of the authors of the paper I linked to has emailed me to say "[I]t probably isn’t anomalous propagation per se because it’s all around the radar - it looks more like a long range artefact which could be due to hardware or software.

Ground radars sweep the skies in circles. Sometimes their range is cut off at a certain distance for various reasons. When this happens it shows up as circular. Doh!!

A little while ago, the weather radar had three concentric perfect circles forming a bull's-eye over the state of Delaware. I wondered if it was the radar doing something more odd than the usual weirdness, or if the Delawarians had done something to really annoy God. But the state still seems to be there, so they must have survived whatever happened.
What else can be fun to see is when there are military exercises (or actual operations) going on, and they start using radar jammers or radar reflecting chaff and things like that. You can get some very funny looking results on the weather radar then.
