Strange Energy Burst Coincides With 3I/ATLAS At Earth’s Closest Point
Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic standing waves generated primarily by lightning activity within the cavity formed by Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. Under normal conditions, their frequency bands fluctuate gently, smeared by storms, solar wind interactions, and diurnal atmospheric changes. What appeared at 02:40 UTC was not that. This was not a thunderstorm signature, not ionospheric noise, and not an instrumentation artifact consistent with local interference. The energy increase was cleanly isolated at 25 Hz, a feature that immediately separated it from typical environmental causes.
That frequency matters. Observational seismology literature has long identified the 15–35 Hz range — and more specifically the 24–26 Hz window — as a recurring electromagnetic precursor band preceding certain major earthquakes. These signals do not announce an imminent quake on their own, but their appearance has been documented ahead of significant seismic events. The last time a comparable Schumann resonance anomaly appeared was just days before the December 8, 2025 magnitude-7.6 earthquake in Japan. That event broke a months-long quiet period in global resonance monitoring. Now, another anomaly has surfaced — this time coinciding with an interstellar object’s closest proximity to Earth.
