We have been contacted by the wife of an electrical engineer who has been officially briefed about a serious major threat to infrastructure in a few years' time.
We believe this information is credible and important but the contact may now have been lost. Therefore we are publishing what we have – with many questions unanswered.
This is the first message we received:
27 March
Hello B & K
My husband is an electrical engineer for a national power company. He has just been told that they are expecting an event in the next 3-4 years that will render every transformer in the world useless. They are desperately trying to find a solution to the problem. If they don't, the entire global electrical system will go down. I know this fits in with some of your research. Have you heard about this?

Dear Friend,
Your information is most interesting, and we'd love to know more.. even if it's a minor addition or clarification.
For instance: what degree of risk does 'expecting' involve? In engineering risk management, it makes sense to mitigate against an unlikely occurrence which (IF it happened) would have a devastating effect. Or they really MIGHT be expecting it… in other words have evaluated that such an event will probably occur. Does your husband know which category this risk belongs in?
And does he know the nature of this 'event'? I would assume that it is solar… such as the Corona Mass Ejection [CME] of 1859:
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/23oct_superstorm.htm
The information seems to tally with this New Scientist article, just days old:http://newscientist.com/article/mg20127001.300-space-storm-alert-90-seconds-from-catastrophe.html
And yes, we HAVE heard (in October 2007) from an insider scientist with a Top Secret Clearance that they are expecting a CME sometime between this year (2009) and 2012. He did NOT say how this was known or forecast. He said that it 'will' happen… not that it 'might' or 'could'. Our question about how this was known was not answered.27 March
Hi Bill:
My husband is working away from home at the moment on this problem, and I have no way of contacting him. He is not allowed to carry a cellphone on the job. I'll clarify with him when I speak to him next, but the impression I got was that it was definitely going to happen. He mentioned something about electromagnetic clouds in space that the Earth is drifting into. They are under incredible pressure to find a solution. My husband is an engineer, a man of rational logic. He is not prone to flights of fancy, but this news has disturbed him no end.

Dear Friend:
Very many thanks. This information is highly significant. We'd appreciate any more information you can give us.
1) One question comes from your own very important description here:
> He mentioned something about electromagnetic clouds in space, that the Earth
> is drifting into.If you can fine-tune that sentence a little, with his assistance, that would be critical. We assume that he's a senior engineer with a good familiarity with theoretical physics. ANY clarification that he can accurately provide about EXACTLY what he was told would be most important.
a) In what way would these 'clouds' affect transformers? (I have a physics background – please tell your husband.) This dramatic effect is a little hard to imagine. I'd love to understand this better.
b) Will non-hardened chips and circuits also be affected? (Your husband will know what 'non-hardened' means: military chips/circuits are 'hardened' to prevent them being rendered inoperable by an electromagnetic pulse such as could come from a major solar flare or a nuclear blast.)
2) Any further clarification on (a) time scale and (b) probabilities?
3) Are ALL western ('first world') nations aware of this problem?
4) Is the information formally classified?
5) How was he told, who was told along with himself, and is he expecting to be told more?
6) Any personal statement from your husband (relayed by yourself) would be very valuable.
Further thoughts: this matches totally with what our Camelot witness Dan Sherman was told: that
…at some certain event in the future, that was going to be the only way that we can communicate; because electromagnetic communications were going to be disrupted on a world-wide scale.

(Dan Sherman was trained as a military telepath, and told his story in his remarkable little book, Above Black. The above is the only thing he was told about WHY he was being prepared in this way.)Thanks again for this very valuable information. We're very much looking forward to hearing from you again.

Hello Bill,
I apologize for the lack of detail, I am not being deliberately vague, I just don't know much about it. I do not have a background in physics. I shall answer your questions to the best of my ability here, but it would probably be better to speak to my husband about the technicalities. I'll ask him to contact you when he's next home.
The problem will affect the entire planet, and I believe that the attempt to rectify it is an international one, although I don't know what nationalities are involved.
Sorry Bill, this is probably not very helpful, but my knowledge of this is extremely limited. I couldn't even attempt to answer your other questions, I'll leave that to my husband. I would not attach too much significance to my choice of words, like I say I'm no physicist. However, the term 'electronic pulse' sounds familiar. I am pretty certain my husband used that term himself.

Dear Friend:
> it would probably be better to speak to my husband about the technicalities.
> I'll ask him to contact you when he's next home.Thank you… if he'd prefer to relay information through yourself, this works just fine: there's no way of identifying you or him from these messages, and it sounds as if many people in his field would have to be aware of the problem, in various countries. So there's no way he can be traced. We're very comfortable to leave it like that.
What we WOULD like to have is a better understanding of the problem, based on the questions I posed in my last message.
> my knowledge of this is extremely limited. I couldn't even attempt to answer
> your other questions, I'll leave that to my husband.Fully understood.
Your husband sounds like an intelligent, aware and conscientious man and we would hope that he agrees that the public needs to know this news. Our stance is that the mainstream media will not pick this up (it is likely to be muzzled/ censored/ classified), and that even in the alternative media few will really pay close attention.
But we do have a following of tens (probably hundreds) of thousands of people who will listen carefully and will then add this information to their personal resource base to consider when deciding defensive steps to take to safeguard themselves and their families.
As you will understand, a major event affecting electrical power transmission impacts EVERYTHING: no petrol pumps, no transport, no food in supermarkets, no TV, no radio, no phones. The only reason why the Solar Superstorm event of 1859…
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/23oct_superstorm.htm
…had little effect on society is that it was in a pre-electrical and -electronic age. Horses and carriages, steam trains, the postal system, and local farm produce were all unaffected. These days, the world would crunch to a halt overnight. Your husband will understand the implications.The military of the world have known about this for a long time and have been preparing: hence the underground bases they have been constructing. See http://projectcamelot.org/underground_bases.html. We have a LOT about this on our site. What's so important about the information you've shared is that it gives much more specificity to how we might all be affected.
Please give our warmest regards to your husband, and let him know that we and thousands of others will very much appreciate this information and that we can guarantee to release it completely anonymously – assuming that this is his preference.

Hello Bill.
I think my husband would prefer not to get too involved in all of this, he already has a lot on his mind and he is under extreme pressure at the moment. But you are right, he is a man of compassion and a great believer in human values. He thinks the secrecy is unjustified, that people should be informed so they have ample time to prepare. So I'll ask him to answer your questions and I'll send it to you on his behalf.
I agree with you when you say there must be many others in his field who are aware of this problem. I was hoping somebody had already contacted you about it. My husband would not take it to the mainstream media in case it turned into a witch hunt. There is a lot at stake here, and he is terrified of being identified. Obviously we share a surname, hence the need for my pseudonym. I'm sure you understand that.
If the infrastructure really does collapse, I'm confident that people will stick together and help each other out. I believe the good people of this world far outnumber the bad, and humanity shines brightest in its darkest hours.

Dear Friend: many thanks.

It's an extremely important confirmation of more general information we'd learned from Dan Sherman (see my last) and from our scientist source (see my initial message) who said that a solar superstorm of some kind would be upon us sometime between 2009 and 2012.
We've also heard many other more general rumors of major problems like this in the next few years (see our recent article http://projectcamelot.org/2009.html, published just a few days ago). What your husband reports could not be more important. What we need now, if at all possible, is more detailed understanding about exactly what the threat is, based upon my earlier questions.
> There is a lot at stake here, and he is terrified of being identified.
You can trust us fully not to reveal to anyone any details that would lead to him.

Despite several follow-up messages to our contact, we have heard nothing more.
Click here for an excellent summary article by Dr Michael Salla on the problem of possibly imminent solar superstorms.
Click here and here for two important papers on solar activity by James Marusek (2007 and 2009).
Click here for a US Army technical manual, cleared for public release, on safeguarding electrical systems against various kinds of electrical interference. Chapter 5 (p.130) discusses risks from electromagnetic pulses.
