USGS retracts three 'ghost' earthquakes, blames Northern California sensors
In the past two days, malfunctions in the network of sensors that detect earthquakes in Northern California have issued three false alarms, forcing the U.S. Geological Survey to make a series of embarrassing retractions.

Just after midnight Friday morning, a magnitude 6.7 quake struck off the coast of Alaska. When its waves reached sensors operated by the Northern California Seismic Network, they were mistakenly interpreted as a 5.1 temblor near the Oregon border in Lewiston, officials say.

“There was a ghost in the machine,” Don Drysdale, spokesman for the California Geological Survey, said Friday. “There was no earthquake.”

what a coincidence….last week they said a sensor was bad reporting lake mead had lost a lot of water in a day. Hmm?

Yeah, also caused a false report of an 8.5 off the coast of Peru.
Causing much chaos here at glp.

Type Peru into the search bar, there was at least 3 threads of glp'ers freaking out.

Re: USGS retracts three 'ghost' earthquakes, blames Northern California sensors
Look up Dynamic Triggering... It's the thing they dont want us to believe is an occurrence..

But here's the thing...

I've been watching quakes using the USGS as one of my sources for over 6 years now...

Almost every single time there is a sizable quake - let's say 7.8+ - other seismic monitors AUTOMATICALLY send out information based on the wave the 7.8+ quake creates...

The monitor may actually feel a shake but it gives lots of false information like location, depth, and magnitude...

Only when a seismologist reviews the data do we know for sure if the quake actually occurred at the location, depth and magnitude the AUTOMATIC sensor detected...

USGS is NOT hiding earthquakes in this sense...

They are making sure the data is factual in this case...

Not to say the USGS does not downplay or downgrade seismic activity - but THIS is NOT a case of foul play...

I just looked up what youre talking about...

So go to this site:

[link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

The first post I found when I searched Peru and saw what you were talking about - there was an imgur link to one of these seismographs...

Did you know that EVERY SINGLE TIME there is an eq above 7.5 that pretty much every single one of these seismographs show massive movement?

Actually every time there is a massive earthquake I always link that site to my friends so that they can see how the seismic wave actually travels worldwide...

USGS is not hiding earthquakes - I mean this data is open to all of us... If you had just gone to USGS GSN after the most recent Japan quake you could have seen it with your own eyes...

I'll keep you and this thread in mind next time there is a big quake and I'll screenshot and post to this thread for you guys...

Yeah, lol, I tried pointing that out on one thread, but glp was in full panic-conspiracy mode and I don't think anyone was listening.
First thing I did was go to the seismos, it was obvious that it was a mis-read on the Alaska quake.

Exactly :)

I look at the "Latest Data Contributions" on EMSC:

[link to www.emsc-csem.org]

You see a lot of Automatic posted events and you can see when they were reviewed...

I think its too bad people are focusing on this idea that USGS is "hiding" earthquakes because of the autor readings instead of the fact that it is pretty wild an 8.5 earthquake in Japan will ring on a seismo on the East Coast of the United States within 20 minutes :)
