New islands rising in the Pacific are the backdrop that other cycles play against in the decade between 1998 and 2008. Increased volcanic activity and changes in the base resonant frequency will accompany the islands' rising. Each TimeStar window after January 31, 1999 was predicted with the expectation of seismic and volcanic activity in the Pacific through 2008, as the TimeStar predicted in 1995. In April 1996, TimeStar published a forecast that activity related to the rising of islands near Hawaii would start on July 16 of that year. On July 17, 1996, the Loihi Seamount collapsed to give geologists a first-time-ever view of activity of that kind. (See below.)

Near Tonga: A new volcanic island has risen from the South Pacific near Tonga, according to reports from two vessels that passed the area… He said they could see the volcanic island clearly. "One mile in diameter and with four peaks and a central crater smoking with steam and once in a while an outburst high in the sky with lava and ashes. I think we're the first ones out here," he reported. (Published by CNN on November 9, 2006.)

Sumatra-Andaman earthquake : This quake caused the entire planet to ring like a bell and affected the North Pacific area of Alaska by way of the tsunami that followed on December 26, 2004. An event like this has repurcussion for at least a decade. The earthquake was unusually large in geographical extent. An estimated 1,200 km (750 mi) of faultline slipped about 15 m (50 ft) along the subduction zone where the India Plate dives under the Burma Plate . The slip did not happen instantaneously but took place in two phases over a period of several minutes.

Amchixtam Chaxsxii Volcano, Alaska : This is the only active underwater volcano in the Aleutians. Discovered in 2002, it will eventually be an island in the Aleutian chain. At the time of its discovery, long and extensive magma flows were present.

Kick'em Jenny is one of the most active volcanoes in the Caribbean and is currently only 190 meters below the surface. It last erupted in December 2001.
2001: [Reuters] For the fourth time in the past 90 years, a small islet off the coast of Trinidad suddenly appeared from beneath the ocean several days ago [prior to May 21, 2001]. Residents of the coastal city of Chatham awoke to find the new territory once again in the Columbus Channel about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) offshore. In the few days since the nameless island has resurfaced, it has already become home to many birds. It has also generated extra income for local fishermen, who are providing boat rides for the curious to take a closer look at the capricious island. However, scientists Jan Lindsay and Kirstie Simpson said the fragile island had formed from a mud volcano and warned people to stay off of it as it could explode in eruptions of mud or emit toxic gasses that could spontaneously combust.

Kavachi, Solomon Island: An international science team has witnessed the dramatic birth of a new volcanic island in the Pacific. The rare event was witnessed by scientists during a research expedition to the Solomon Islands on the CSIRO research vessel Franklin. The Franklin is returning to Darwin after two successful cruises looking at volcanic activity and associated mineral formation in the Bismarck Sea and the Pacific. From the first leg of the expedition, scientists are bringing back a world record size "black smoker" chimney from the bottom of the Bismarck Sea. On the second leg of the cruise, scientists found the Kavachi seamount had entered a new phase of island-building eruptive activity after 9 years of apparent dormancy.

Loihi Seamount, Hawaii: The largest earthquakes swarm ever associated with a Hawaiian island started July 17, 1996. We have never witnessed (directly or remotely) a Hawaiian submarine effusive eruption so it is possible that this could be one. The long duration of the swarm event and the moderate magnitude of the quakes are most compatible with either a pit crater collapse or an explosive eruption origin.

Metis Shoal, Tonga: This normally submerged volcano was reported to be in eruption on June 6, 1995. The New Zealand Hydrographic Office issued a warning for ships in the area to be careful. By June 21 continuing eruptions had built a small island 50-80m high and covering several acres. A 200-500m wide cinder cone is forming with ash and steam shooting hundreds of meters into the air.
In one of the best documented sightings on record an UFO escorted an exploding meteor across Turkey on November 1, 2002. The first 12 witnesses to report the event were members of six airline crews, four in the air and two on the ground. Their initial reports were supported by video footage provided by witnesses who came forward in the week after the spectacular sighting to augment a photo taken by one of the pilots. Video footage of the event shows the UFO and meteor traveled from west to east at a low altitude of 40,000 feet in a commercial airline zone over a populated area. The photo above was extracted from the video and the UFO's location circled in red.
A meteor explosion over New Zealand on July 7, 1999
offered a close view of a meteor exploding low in the earth's atmosphere.
This meteor was first detected June 27, 1999 as the
the annual Taurid meteor shower was beginning but was not
part of the Taurid meteors.
A photo of the meteor over New Zealand provides both a point of comparison for the photo and video over Turkey in November 2002 and a UFO in the area where a meteor exploded. Reports of the exploding meteor and UFO activity in the area at the time are on the TimeStar web site.
