December 1, 1999: The Coming Tokyo Earthquake - Peter Hadfield #124; Missouri Sightings - Peter Davenport

Peter Hadfield discusses growing evidence of seismic strain beneath Tokyo and the probability of a major earthquake striking the Kanto region. He reviews Japan’s seismic monitoring network, historical quake cycles, and the science behind plate subduction that makes the area one of the most volatile on Earth. Hadfield details how modern engineering, early warning systems, and community drills aim to minimize casualties, while also acknowledging the limits of prediction and the dangers of complacency. Peter Davenport provides new reports from the National UFO Reporting Center involving luminous craft observed over Missouri. Witnesses describe multiple bright objects executing sharp turns, rapid accelerations, and hovering formations not consistent with conventional aircraft. Davenport outlines methods for verifying radar returns and cross-referencing military flight data to separate authentic anomalies from misidentified aerial traffic. Together, Hadfield and Davenport explore how public response to unexplained events, whether natural or aerial, reveals humanity’s need for certainty in the face of the unknown. Both investigations underscore how observation, documentation, and open inquiry remain essential tools for confronting mystery.
