Here is some of my correspondence to another researcher.
I have been researching everything Velikovsky since the late 1980's, and recently Jno Cook's Saturnian Cosmology and related information.
I was wondering if you would be able to assist me with a problem.
Suppose there were geological features - lines - that ran perfectly east-west parallel to each other, and other lines that ran perfectly north-south, also parallel to each other and by default perpendicular to the east-west formations. These line formations, hypothetically, appear to be 'pinched' like one might pinch a line into existence with one's thumb and forefinger over the surface of some modelling clay. They are subtle but undeniable and the total grid-like feature extends over hundreds of square kilometers.
Nature does not normally make straight lines in the geological setting. Geological features are typically chaotic and jagged in appearance. These 'pinched' lines are not man-made. In an excavated cross section nearby one formation (not itself part of the grid-like formation), one can clearly see a magma core up-welling covered by a layer of baked clay, in other words, evidently not man-made. Mechanisms caused by magma, impact (comets, asteroids and meteorites, etc.), glacier and erosion, etc. would be discounted leaving only an electrical cause.
Do you know any electrical or magnetic properties and/or mechanisms which could - hypothetically - account for such geological formations?
If sometime during the catastrophic age Earth's surface was struck by an interplanetary plasma discharge, would it be possible for that discharge to interact with Earth's electromagnetic field and somehow cause an effect on Earth's surface like I have described above? Something, maybe, like magnetic flux lines or magnetosonic waves being 'pinched' onto a given terrain during a high energy electrical event?

Dear Mr. ----,
First of all allow my to say how much I value your research and effort in sharing it through your written works. I stumbled on your Saturnian Cosmology last year and it has provided me with the framework to clear up and deepen my understanding of a great many topics. I would be understating it to say I was ecstatic when I found your information. Would it be too obvious to say it hit me like a bolt of lightning?
As to your reply concerning my inquiry you indicated you have responded on other occasions to the same questions from people and they have gone on to create websites. Do you have any links to these websites? I would like to see if the geological formations they are observing have any similarity to the ones in my area.
Over the years I have also extensively studied ley lines as well and agree with you as to the motivation people had back then to create these. I have dismissed the ley line possibility primarily because the formations I am exploring are not man-made. They are natural, again with the exception of being 'too straight'.
I am also familiar with formations left over from glaciers - eskers, moraines, drumlins - which we also have in our area. I have dismissed this as a possibility as well for a number of reasons - primarily these are not gravel ridges or deposits of any kind like that.
In your response you mentioned 'canals'. In my initial correspondence to Andrew I only mentioned ridges and 'pinching'. I have not observed any canals or trenching. These ridges stop at the bank of a river, creek, stream or even rill and continue on at the other bank. Similar perhaps to some of Michael Steinbacher's observations where he thinks the electricity 'jumps over' the water. In some locations, instead of a ridge, this effect may cut a steeper embankment into the side of a hill, for example, but there do not seem to be any grooves, trenches or canals per se. I am still exploring so I could quite possibly be wrong on that count.
You mentioned that these east-west/north-south lines could possibly be lightning scars, but as very large arcs. I am still trying to understand the mechanism by which lightning would make such an effect on the earth's surface that is so straight.
Is Neil Thompson's mechanism still under wraps? I would love to hear it.
In the meantime, I will keep exploring these features and perhaps at some point I will gather enough data to make a presentation of some sort and perhaps after that someone may be able to table a theory for a mechanism.
(There has been no more correspondence since then).
I would like to add that I believe I have found those canal sites. Search 'Atlantis canals'. The features on these sites are not similar to the ones I am exploring.
Also, I might add that the lines which I am exploring are 'dashed lines' in that the geological formations are not necessarily continuous across the terrain.
Also, these features are 25+/- yards across consistently and are located in North America. I haven't looked on other continents. The may be there, too, - I don't know either way at this point. Sorry I can't be more specific about the location. To be honest I still don't quite trust what I am seeing in the field and I would like to spent more time exploring before I disclose and make a proper fool out of myself -in the event I am wrong.
In short, does Electric Universe/Electric Earth Geology theory, or any electric or magnetic mechanisms -theoretical or otherwise- predict or describe the geological features I have described above?
Any help from anyone here on the forum would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Terry
