| Primary Exempt Purpose | BASIC RESEARCH, INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION, EDUCATION,HEALTH AND ENVIROMENTAL AWARENESS.THE INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE (IEA) EMPLOYS A UNIQUE APPROACH TO STIMULATE STUDENT AND PUBLIC INTEREST, AWARENESS AND CURIOSITY ABOUT SCIENCE. INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE INVESTIGATES HIGH VISABILITY BUT LITTLE UNDERSTOOD ANOMALIES AS LEARNING VEHICLES.USING RIGOROUS SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY AND STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY, INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE DIVERSE AREAS OF PUBLIC INTEREST THAT ARE OFTEN NEGLECTED BY MAINSTREAM SCIENCE. AMONG THESE AREAS ARE LANDS WHERE MEASURABLE GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALIES EXIST SUCH AS SACRED SITES, EARTHLIGHT AREAS, AND GEOPATHIC ZONES. HEALTH ISSUES AT SOME OF THESE ANOMALOUS GEOPHYSICAL SITES ARE UNDER STUDY. ADDITIONALLY, TEMPORAL ANOMALIES PRECEDING SEISMIC ACTIVITY,BOTH GEOPHYSICAL AND ANIMAL BEHAVIOR, IS PART OF INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE'S ENVIROMENTAL STUDIES. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |

| Description Program Srvc Accom | THE INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO COLLECT MAGNETIC, WEATHER, IONIZING RADIATION, ELECTRIC FIELD,SEISMIC,PHOTOGRAPHIC AND OTHER DATA 24/7 AT ITS GEOPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY IN SEDONA AZ. DAILY LOGS OF NASA, AND NOAA SOLAR TERRESTRIAL DATA, AND USGS, CSEM/EMSC SEISMIC DATA CONTINUE TO BE RECORDED TO SUPPLEMENT OBSERVATORY DATA. THE STUDY OF NIGHTIME CHROMATIC SHIFTS (SKY COLOR) PRIOR TO LARGE MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKES IS PROGRESSING WELL AS ADDITIONAL EARTHQUAKES OCCUR TO COMPARE TO THE GROWING PHOTOGRAPHIC DATA BASE. MORE THAN A MILLION PHOTOS HAVE BEEN TAKEN.AS FINANCES ALLOW, WE CONTINUE TO PURCHASE INSTRUMENTS, CAMERAS, AND DATA ACQUISITION EQUIPMENT TO AUGMENT THE SEDONA OBSERVATORY AND PORTABLE FIELD LABORATORY. A THIRD NIKON D5000 WAS PURCHASED IN ORDER TO TAKE PICTURES OF DIRECTIONS NOT PREVIOUSLY COVERED, AND TO SERVE AS A "ROAMING" CAMERA TO RECORD PHOTOS SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS. NIGHTTIME AND DAYTIME CONTROL PHOTOS WERE TAKEN IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA.FREQUENT INSTRUMENT AND COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO PLAGUE INVESTIGATIONS. INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO INVESTIGAGE THE PROBLEM OF "NOISE" ON THE INCOMING POWER LINES AND IN BUILDING WIRING AND ITS EFFECTS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND HEALTH. EQUIPMENT WAS PURCHASED TO FILTER OUT "NOISE" (ALSO KNOWN AS DIRTY ELECTRICITY) ON SOME OF THE MORE VULNERABLE EQUIPMENT.MEASUREMENTS OF THE ANTENNA EFFECT OF INDOOR WIRING ON HUMANS WERE CONTINUED AND REFINED. ADDITIONAL EFFECTS FROM NEARBY CELL PHONE TOWERS WERE NOTED. THESE MEASUREMENTS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC OF THE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION.THE OUTDOOR GRID WHERE ELECTRICAL SHOCKS OCCURRED IN 2011 WHEN TOUCHING A SURVEYOR'S FLAG, CONTINUES TO BE INVESTIGATED.SEVERAL PEOPLE FROM THE VERDE VALLEY DOWSERS ASSOCIATION PARTICIPATED IN EXPERIMENTS TO SEE IF DOWSING RESULTS WERE REPRODUCIBLE FROM ONE DOWSER TO ANOTHER, AND TO SEE IF SPOTS THEY REACTED TO WERE MEASURABLY DIFFERENT. WE ALSO SOUGHT TO DETERMINE WHAT THE QUALITY OF THE DIFFERENCE MIGHT BE. ONLY THREE OF THE DOWSERS IDENTIFIED SIMILAR LOCATIONS. WE CONCLUDED THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME EVIDENCE FOR TALENTED DOWSERS, BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE WHO CLAIM DOWSING SKILLS ARE MEASURABLY EFFECTIVE.INTERNAITONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE ATTENDED THE "CONTACT IN THE DESERT" CONFERENCE TO EVALUATE NEW ANOMALY INFORMATION. THE PRESENTATIONS RANGED FROM INTRIGUING TO OUTLANDISH. OF PARTICULAR INTERST WAS A LITLE KNOWN CLUSTER OF MILLIONS OF STONE CIRCLES OF UNKOWN ORIGIN, PROBABLY SACRED SITES, THAT EXIST IN SOUTH AFRICA.VIDEO TAPING WILD ANIMAL/HUMAN INTERACTIONS CONTINUE. THROUGH AN ALLIANCE WITH THE SEDONA HUMANE SOCIETY AND A LICENSED WILD LIFE RESCUE FACILITY, ADDITIONAL WILD BIRDS WERE VIDEOTAPED, CLEARLY DEMONSTRATING TWO WAY COMMUNICATION WITH HUMANS. WE ASPIRE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC OF THE INNATE INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS, AND THAT THEY DESERVE OUR RESPECT AND STEWARDSHIP.PUBLIC OUTREACH PROJECTS WERE INTERVIEWS BY MARSHA ADAMS, WHICH CAN BE VIEWED ON YOU TUBE. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS APPEARANCE IN A DOCUMENTARY BY JAPAN'S NHK TV.ADDITIONALLY, INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLLIANCE HAD A FUND RAISING AND INFORMATIONAL BOOTH AT THE ANNUAL SEDONA GEM AND MINERAL SHOW. INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE OFFERS DONATED ITEMS FOR SALE AT THE SHOW.PAGES CONTINUE TO BE ADDED TO THE NEW INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE WEB SITE. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
