“Antarctic Radar Anomaly” Over Australia & NZ—What It Likely Is (and Isn’t)

Viral clips claiming a massive radar “wave” expanding from Antarctica over Australia and New Zealand are almost certainly showing artifacts in weather-radar imagery, not a literal energy front. 

  • This anomaly started at 00 UT on October 12 2025 with a big flash. Affecting New Zealand and Australia as far as the map allow me to see. This event has been Ongoing now for many hours.

National meteorological agencies document several mundane causes that create dramatic patterns: anomalous propagation (when temperature inversions bend the beam so it hits sea/ground and bounces back like rain), sun-angle interference at sunrise/sunset that draws rays/lines from many radars at once, and general clutter or processing glitches that paint rings centered on individual radar sites. These effects are well known to the Bureau of Meteorology (Australia) and MetService (NZ) and are explained on their public radar FAQ pages. 

Why the timing confuses people: there is unusual Antarctic activity right now—sudden stratospheric warming and perturbations of the polar vortex—which can disrupt Southern Hemisphere weather for weeks or months. That’s real meteorology, but it doesn’t generate a single expanding “radar blob.” Instead, it shifts wind patterns and storm tracks; the “ring” images come from how radars see (and sometimes mis-see) the atmosphere near each antenna. 

Quick ways to sanity-check future clips: (1) if the pattern is perfectly circular and centered on multiple known radar sites, think interference/clutter; (2) if straight spokes all point east at sunrise or west at sunset across many radars, think solar interference; (3) if the “feature” vanishes on satellite imagery while persisting on radar, it’s not a real weather system; and (4) if one odd shape appears near defense areas, it may be non-weather interference (this has happened before). 

Bottom line: striking visuals don’t equal a new Antarctic phenomenon. The best explanation is ordinary radar physics during an extraordinary weather season—artifacts on the screen, not a mysterious wave rolling out of Antarctica.

“They Knew.”

Image
In the days right before October 7th something big was happening in Israel. Massive protests hit the streets of Tel Aviv demanding a new government. They wanted the overthrow of the corrupt Netanyahu government. They KNEW It Was Coming — The Truth About October 7th and Netanyahu’s Cover-Up | Redacted - YouTube The “they knew” charge rests on a stack of documented warnings and post-attack admissions that—taken together—paint a picture of systemic negligence, not yet a proven conspiracy: Egyptian officials say they alerted Israel days in advance; Israeli media and the New York Times reported a detailed Hamas blueprint (“Jericho Wall”) seen by Israeli intelligence a year earlier but discounted as aspirational; and multiple IDF spotters testified their alerts about unusual Hamas training and border activity were ignored amid broken cameras, lax procedures, and faulty assumptions that Hamas was deterred; Israel’s own agencies have since cataloged failures while the state comptroller moves ...

Where Spanberger and Sears Stand

Image
Now this is an angry black woman I can get behind... Republican HUMILIATES Democrat during VA Governor Debate Taxes and spending • Spanberger: Targets middle-class relief tied to balanced budgets; cautious about cuts that drain school and local funding; favors auditing tax breaks that don’t create jobs. • Sears: Pushes broader tax relief and caps on state spending growth; argues surpluses and efficiencies can fund cuts; wants fewer fees and regulations on families and small firms. Education • Spanberger: Prioritizes funding for public schools, teacher pay, tutoring, and career/technical pathways; skeptical of moving public dollars to private options. • Sears: Emphasizes parental rights, curriculum transparency, stricter discipline, and expanding school choice through charters and open enrollment. Public safety • Spanberger: Mix of enforcement and prevention—supports community policing, violence-interruption, and reentry programs alongside targeting repeat offenders. • Sears: Stro...
