Last night in the high desert (8,000 feet elevation). Beautiful, if a bit spooky.
I’ve never seen a cloud bank like that, and which hung around for so long. Literally half the night. Utterly clear skies everywhere but in the notch to the east. And why no thunder? Anyone ever seen anything like this?
Allan
I made a comment in my last post that I think is so important I’m going to paste it in here:
I found a great example of what I’m trying to tell you in this post. Go about halfway into this:

Look at this bullshit from TED! Talk about misdirection! (This is from the link above.)
She will tell you what Sykes said about no Neanderthal DNA in our mitochondrial DNA, yet we have 2 – 4% Neanderthal in our overall genome. Watch how — when she tries to get to what this really means — she stutters, changes the subject, and avoids the issue. They even have a quote about our ancestors ‘falling in love’ with a Neanderthal! She never says what the data means: the sex was always between a Neanderthal male and a sapiens female, and what that implies, i.e., interspecies rape and war. TED talk misdirection!
Last night off the coast of Florida, I saw two such storms, one northerly, one more southerly: two big cloud banks, flashing with light, though no visible bolts, and like yours, no thunder. I assume we were too far away, as they were on the horizon. I was too sleepy to watch for very long, so don’t know how long they lasted.
Allan,
It was darkness just after dusk in the mid 80’s I witnessed an identical weather phenomenon. I was with my boys (early teens) in front of our home and in the sky started this lightening storm. I could not tell how far away it was, we were looking East and the “stage” for this performance was higher than yours and a sphere shaped display with no noise. It was really eerie and went on for hours never moving. The boys got bored and went inside and I kept staring, transfixed at this display. It never moved and after a while I got on the tailgate of my truck and kept watching. I watched so long by the time I went inside all were in bed my wife thought I had flipped my lid but I could not quit watching. Next day there was no info about this in news, weather or anywhere. We were in an urban setting (Houston) and I quizzed the boys if they really saw what I saw because at one point I thought it was a dream. I actually at began to fear for my children as it looked like a war going on. There were no clouds it was like a huge globe of 3D lightening all flashing all over sequentially. Weird stuff.
I sent a link to Wal Thornhill of Electric Universe but haven’t heard back yet. He figured out one of my sky anomalies before. I appreciate the comment. Where is all the energy coming from?
The Neanderthal species had a less developed neo cortex which is the brain of logic and reasoning which means a poorer ability to control the lower primitive brain r complex (reproduction , territorial , fight or flight etc) . so I’m thinking it’s quite probable as a defensive measure modern humans wiped them out.
Also the Neanderthal were recognisable by their red caps, and vaccine hesitancy.
Maybe they became extinct due to the embarrassment of not looking as cool as their modern human counterparts when wearing a red cap due to their funny shaped sloping skulls and protruding brows ..
i figure those H. Sapiens Sapiens who now wear the Pleistocene headgear of their vanquished, less forward-minded cousins must do so as a sign of respect — as Mohawks would eat the heart of the odd frontiersman who knew to die without a whimper under enhanced interrogation — or as veterans of the Good War wore Stahlhelme when they rode a Harley out for some freedom.
Heh. But are they? I assume you mean physically forward-minded.
Very cool video and as others have noted, the classic “heat lightning”. In the Southwest it’s more visible with the wide open views and clear air.
I’ve watched these types of storms in Arizona many times before and been amazed how far away they actually are when you look them up in radar. Sometimes hundreds of miles, thus soundwaves are long since dissipated.
This time of year is “monsoon” season, sometimes storms fire up and die quickly and other times they can linger and continue to rejuvenate for hours.
I read about energy estimates for storms and was blown away by the numbers, compared to energy to power cities, bombs etc.
On a serious tangent, I also read there was some debate about using nukes to reduce hurricanes.
Back in the heyday when it seems nuclear energy and weapons were explored for all sorts of applications. As if the weapons were not scary enough…
Good info!
Allan,
In answer to your question – YES, definitely. I’ve been a sky-watcher since I was a child and there is certainly something amiss in our skies. (And yes, I do believe that there is a top-secret weather program going on in plain sight directly over our heads, aka “chemtrails”…. or more scientifically, Persistent Aerosol Contrails). When I was a kid, contrails used to dissipate usually within seconds….now they routinely hang there like ropes and then fan out to occlude the sky. The crap that the weather folks refer to these days as “overcast” is more-often-than-not completely artificial. You might be interested in perusing the following: https://geoengineeringwatch.org/documents/vol3ch15.pdf
Enjoyed the music too.
I guess the cloud bank was a message from somebody telling you to quit helping people understand HTWRW.
as far as interspecies rape, the definition of species says that if that’s what it was then there would be no fertile offspring and therefore no neanderthal genes in us.
Apparently the neanderthals were the same species as we are.
Oh really?
If you want to blame me for the bad-science labeling, go ahead. In other words, what’s your real point?
WTH, Allan? He’s rather tangentially *agreeing* with you, or at least agreeing that you could be right. In short, he’s saying “Thanks to Allan’s post I see that, since there seems to be evidence of successful sex, then Neanderthals must have been at most a subspecies and not a separate species at all. How about that.”
He was transparently using semantics to improperly disregard the point Allan was making.
Nyet, comrade.
PS. Colorado had hailstones nearly 5″ in diameter last night??
Holy shit. That’s fucking huge. Hope everything’s ok.
Gorgeous footage the high desert never disappoints. In the Midwest silent lightning is heat lightning? But your film was pretty spectacular.
Thank you, Allan. I always enjoy your videos and photography. Very strange clouds. The recent writing about DNA and ancient origins gets me thinking of giants and Nephilim, another rabbit hole of sacred origin. Keep going!
The clouds were great. If you wrote more about your actual happenings in travel instead of conspiracy baloney, it would be much more interesting to read your blog. Who the hell knows half the people you write about and can deal with the shifting topics within a same paragraph? Stick to telling everyone about where you are and what is happening in your real time.
I enjoy reading about the happenings in your travels as well.
Allan’s actual happenings in travel would make better reading than most other Recreationally Vehicular dudes’ do — but would all the same fall in an unimportant genre.
He/she who can’t deal with the shifting topics within a same paragraph ain’t got brains.
‘Conspiracy baloney’? If that’s what you think of the work I do, the time I put into it, and the fact that no one else exposes it, how about you stop wasting both our times and get the fuck off my blog? What’s wrong with the world is people like you.
Sorry, the “space program” is such a shambles and a joke, and an embarrassment, no one wants to talk about it.
Your an obvious shill based on this comment and all your past comments.
Have you been living under a rock with blinkers on??.
WAKE UP!…there are 1000’s of travel blogs ( and excellent usually ) of every flavour and mode of transport on the internet, if you are interested.
You should hit the “donate” button here , to help Allan out with all the work and research he does, to help us know all the lies out there .
Allan is the BEST at noticing or spotting the bullshit & rot , that hardly ANYONE ELSE notices!.
I know who the hell at least half the people Allan writes about are, and I can also deal with the shifting topics within a same paragraph. Since you asked…
Trouble is, every man and his dog are writing about their travels, with 1000’s of blogs, left right and center on the net.
While too many people out there ignore the blatant lies in this world.
Including the monster MOUNTAIN of evidence against Never A Straight Answer & those 3 Sadsacks at the 1969 “post moon landing news conference”.
Allan spots shit that I never noticed, with Tesla’s rocket as well!!
Brett, my response to you was censored by “truthseeker” Allan Weisbecker. I wonder why?
Hey Bill, Allan has said this at the top of his latest blog, READ > “I’ve requested before that you try to keep your comments at least in the general arena of my posts; I’ve also asked that you don’t make multiple comments when one will do. Several of you have paid no attention to these requests, and when I delete irrelevant stuff or refuse to OK it, I’m accused of censorship.
This is tiresome. I have to keep a lookout for shills/moles, and I know several of you are of that ilk. I had three attempts (one that worked) to insert a link to a theory that Jews are descended from Neanderthals. This is an attempt to discredit my information by conflating the crapola with diligent research,
More of this will result in… yes, banishment!”..&…”Another mole/shill-giveaway is long and rambling and irrelevant blather that includes deceit regarding what I actually said”.
And YOU Bill, have proven yourself to be another MOLE/SHILL, with your long rambling post here, that everyone hates.
WHY??, are you hanging out at Allan’s blog, if you don’t believe a word he say’s??. …and spare me the old “400,000” people bullshit, most of them were service&supply sheeple, who wouldn’t know, and/or, don’t want to admit to their families, that they were involved with the biggest smoke & mirrors space hoax in all of history.
As Bill said, I’ve warned you multiple times. I’m spamming your emails. I suspect you have plenty more. I’ll just keep spamming. Everyone knows you are a state shill. Go away.
The Rockies received a crazy 2,000%+ of normal snow pack this past winter, which is great for our lakes and streams. But it also makes for some super powerful thunder storms this summer. In June we were in Breckenridge for a long weekend and it thunder snowed. Thunder, lightning and a full on blizzard at 2 a.m. in the morning. It was awesome to behold and one of those moments that make you appreciate having a roof over your head.
Watched her Ted talk. Total misdirection.
This story has been around since paper, and it’s still on the internet so it must be true. There was a hairy wild woman captured by hunters in southern russia around 1850, she eventually became the village pin cushion and had several children, her descendants survive to this day. Genetics say she was sub-Saharan african, go figure.
Apparently hairy wild women are hard to resist. Bigfoot’s are people too!

I’m very familiar with that story. Watch the late lloyd Pye’s video on it.
Lovely storm. Would have liked to have seen it — most of them pass too quickly for my liking.
As for the other, why do you consider Neanderthal rape & violence to be so important? The worst I can see in the issue is not “them” lying about something, but “them” differently interpreting evidence that is at best ambiguous.
I also got to wondering, what does that mean, “we have 2 – 4% Neanderthal in our overall genome”? The mainstream view is that we have 96% chimpanzee DNA as it is. If we’re 98% similar to Neanderthals, or even 96.04% (4% of the non-chimp-like remainder), that would only imply a more recent divergence between our lines. How do we distinguish between “DNA that got shuffled in via sex” and “DNA we’ve always shared”?
Well, you might do some research, so you at least know what the MS is claiming is true, even if it isn’t. Watch a few Youtube lectures, pay attention, and your questions will be answered.
For starters, there is no lecture or youtube that will answer my first question, the one I am most interested in: Why does Allan Weisbecker think this issue is so important?
Myself, I do not care whether you are right (it was always brutally violent) or they are right (it was sometimes friendly).
And since I don’t care one way or the other, I am — on this subject, at least — genuinely dispassionate, which lends itself to genuine objectivity.
Why do *you* care so intensely about it?
I think what Allan cares mostly about is the purposeful keeping of people in the dark about HTWRW – not so much about the rape of Sapiens by Neanderthals. Do you not think the 23 pairs of chromosomes in Sapiens and the 24 pairs in primates is also quite interesting based upon all we have been told by the experts?
I saw something similar looking East from 1st Mesa on the Hopi reservation in AZ. It wasn’t quite that low to the ground, but it went on all night and no thunder. I
That’s it then. I gotta look into the causes. 4 hours. where does the energy come from?
always heard it referred to as “heat lightning”, super common on the front range of the Rockies from Boulder or Denver area

there is thunder without lightning and vice versa. Also maybe the distance was to big. It was on the horizon, far away and obviously the wind there was in in the other way, otherwise the clouds would come closer to you. I think, that’s what happen.
Super cool time lapse Allan.
I witnessed an insane thunderstorm cloud lightning show that was silent like this once and was equally impressed and confused. Didn’t have as perfect of a camera angle as yours though. Amazing time-lapse. Wonder if when the lightning is predominantly within the clouds it traps the thunder to some extent whereas cloud to ground strikes are noisy? No clue. My experience was similar where it seemed all the lightning was within the clouds themselves.
Odd and beautiful … thank you for the images…..
WOW!, I have never seen anything like it in my life, and yes, you would expect to hear thunders galore!.
