I've been intrigued for years by the controversial theory that we live in an "Electric" Universe. I found this informative article about a group of researchers that embarked on an expedition into southern Utah looking for geologic evidence to bolster this theory.
The region where they explored is a favorite of mine located in south-central Utah and is where I have hunted for gem-quality dinosaur fossils since the mid 1980s. It is an austere, spooky region that features a forbidding landscape of eerie multicolored striped bentonite hills, exposed geologic uplifts; rumors of living dinos, thunderbirds, ongoing ufo sightings; lost treasures and compelling Indian legends. In 1989, I experienced shadowy nocturnal campsite prowlers + six hours (or so?) of 'missing time' during a fossil hunting expedition in this harsh landscape that is seldom visited by outsiders.
I thought I'd share this article that upon reading, brings back memories of days and nights tramping through this remote alien-looking landscape. Enjoy!
