K, the guy "reporting" the story is Richard C. Hoagland, a regular on the radio show Coast to Coast w/ George Noory... http://www.coasttocoastam.com/ , a sounding board for conspirocy theorists, ufo geeks and psychics. While I don't question mr. simmons credentials and theory, Hoagland and Noory have serious credibility issues. I have a pretty wacked out cousin who produces a competing radiostation and they won't have anything to do w/ Hoagland.
There are several versions of the vid floating on YouTube.
While it's food for thought and I hope to god they're wrong I still am not convinced.
