SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Worst Pole Shift News, Solar Record Shatters | Oct. 18, 2026

SpaceWeatherNews on what the episode calls the worst pole-shift news, tied to a solar record. The first linked paper is a flash report from the Russian Ionosfera-M satellites on the geomagnetic storm of 19-21 January 2026. The authors report a G4 storm with Kp 9 and a solar proton flux they call the highest of Solar Cycle 25 and of the 21st century so far.

The second paper finds that recurrent high-speed solar-wind streams are followed by a small, repeatable rise in the first Schumann resonance frequency at high-latitude stations. That response lines up more clearly with geomagnetic activity than with solar-wind speed alone.

Description: 

Paul Stonehill says that on the evening of February 9, 1913, people from Canada to Brazil watched 40 to 60 huge flaming spheres move slowly and in parallel, when falling satellites and rocket parts were still extremely rare. He then reads Russian press from the 1912–1913 wave, including objects that fort guns and searchlights could not bring down, and treats those reports as the same kind of sightings described today.
