Add Ins: There have been over a dozen cetacean deaths in Scotland and one in Hong Kong. 

Also, the Temp Rise/Meteor/Alge Bloom event in California has ended. This has been the third event after the one in Florida and Australia. Looking back at Australian records, this rise in temperature, along with meteor activity, that creates algal proliferation, is rather common. Meteor activity does give rise to plankton activity in the Southern Ocean, so it is understandable that, given the right conditions, this would spin up the process elsewhere. 

Other Western Australian Meteor on the 30th of April. Detected at great distance. Comes after April 27th meteors. See previous post.

This area has seen pilot whales mass strand before, and this is the third time FKW have stranded in these shallow seas. The Belize Fisheries Department coordinated with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute.

Update: April 25. All individuals found deeper water and have ventured away from danger.

Beaked whale washes ashore in Mexico

2025, April 21. Mexico, San Antonio del Mar. Dead beaked whale.

Note: There have also been beaked whale strandings in Iceland, the Philippines (the largest known individual ever) and New Zealand. I can only suggest the wording as a global cluster. In all likelihood, I will find further cases or others that will never be recorded.  

Meteor airburst shows how devastating they can be when they occur over the ocean

Small Airburst in Australia. It's incredible to think that it was only 82,000 kg/TNT. What if it had been in the millions, or even just in the hundreds of thousands? Then imagine this over water and above cetaceans. The one off the coast of Mexico on March 27 was 2.4 million kg/TNT. 

2025, April 21. Australia, New South Wales, near Queensland border at the Gibraltar Nature Reserve. Airburst. Coordinates: (29.1 South, 151.6 East). Travelling NW or NNW was seen from Melbourne in Victoria to Bundaberg in Queensland, over 1600 km apart. Colour: Blue-Green. Energy: e = 2.3 × ^10j. -e = 0.082 or 82,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 41km. Velocity: NA. Time: 09:27 UT, 19:23 AEST. The sound had delayed and concurrent properties. The sonic boom was heard at Stanthorpe (NSW) 58km away and was described as “a massive boom”. At Sandy Flat, houses were shaken shortly after the meteor exploded. A witness stated they, “saw the flash from lounge room window and shortly after heard a big bang, shaking the house like bad thunder”. 

The trajectory in the map below is preliminary.

Meteor activity in Mexico

The atmosphere in Mexico is active at the moment. Two major meteor airbursts occurred in the Pacific Ocean in recent months. The first occurred in December and has corresponded with the increased whale strandings. This large fireball created a sonic boom that was heard as a low rumble.

The forgotten slaughter. Huntings dolphins in Sulufou, Solomon Islands

This is what I have been saying for a long time. It's not just Iceland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, etc., hunting cetaceans. It's happening in remote locations out of the gaze of mainstream media. It happens all over the world in countries that would surprise you, and the tolls are mind-blowing. I'm pleased the ABC has covered this.

Right Whales close to shore on two continents

North Atlantic Right Whales appear, and North Pacific Right Whales appear to be mirroring each other's movements. Just because whales are close to shore doesn't necessarily mean a manmade problem lurks behind the scenes. In Japan, it's natural, and on the east coast of the USA it is also natural. 

Watch North Pacific Right Whales, 北太平洋セミクジラ, off the coast of Japan, 日本 (Nihon).

Alarming toll from Meteor Airbursts

These incidents are not isolated. According to NOAA, the U.S. has seen a troubling rise in whale strandings and deaths in early 2025:

Over 81 gray whales have been found dead along the Pacific Coast since January.

13 deaths have occurred in San Francisco Bay alone.

At least 70 gray whales died earlier this year in the lagoons of Baja California, Mexico—their traditional wintering ground.

Two Large Meteor Airbursts.

Gray whale stranding in Mexico

2025, April 5. Mexico, Costa Baja, La Paz Bay. A dead Gray whale in an advanced state of decomposition has washed ashore. 

This is a crucial issue in Mexico, hence the post. I will place a weekly update on further cetacean strandings later.

Sperm whale dies in Scotland

2025, April 9. Scotland, Ettrick Bay, on the Isle of Bute, Firth of Clyde. A 14 meter long cachalot (sperm whale) that was seen in shallow water on April 8 has stranded and died.

Meteor airburst in Southern Ocean

2025, March 29. Southern Ocean. Airburst. Coordinates: (49.3S, 14.3E). Altitude: 21.6km. Velocity: 12.3 km/s. E = 5.9. -e = 0.19, 190,000 kg/TNT. 2,200 km north of Antarctica and 1,700 km SSW of Cape Town South Africa. With northerly cetacean migration underway, you don't want to see this. A Marine Animal Disturbance should be noted for southern Africa in the upcoming months.

Meteor airburst 2024-2025 ratio 3:14.

Cetacean strandings and meteor events since the 22nd of March

2025, March 22. UK, North East and Cumbria, Redcar beach, Teesside. Dead Porpoise.

2025, March 21. UK, Sandwich Bay, 15km north of Dover. Dead Porpoise.

2025, March 23. North Sea. Fireball. Time: 21:40 UT. Seen traveling from Calais in France moving NNE across the North Sea for approximately 250 km.

2025, March 24. South Africa, Hartenbos, Mossel Bay. A stranded beaked whale euthanized after attempts to refloat.

2205, March 24. Canada, Haida Gwaii, Graham Island, Rose Spit. A large whale found in advanced state of decomposition.

2025, March 25. Scotland, Fife, Torryburn Beach. Dead porpoise.

2025, March 25. Ireland, Waterford Estuary. Sperm whale in estuary. Unusual.

2025, March 27. Pacific Ocean, 920km WSW of Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. Large Airburst. Coordinates: (14.3N, 111.5W). e = 104.5, -e = 2.4 or 2,400,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 38.1km. Vel: 21.3km/s. Marine Animal Disturbance Alert. This comes after the December 20 airburst at the same latitude, 1443 km to the east. Two very significant events. Due to this event, cetaceans such as Humpback and Risso's dolphins could be vulnerable. Gray, for this event, is not as much due to its location. This brings the 2024-2025 airburst ratio to 3:13. A comet not seen in 160,000 years is entering the inner solar system, so it will be interesting to see what it brings with it. The MAD'S for Brazil and the central Indian Ocean are still in effect to this date.

2025, March 29. USA, San Fransisco Bay, Alcatraz Dock. Dead Gray whale.

2025, March 29. British Virgin Islands, Caribbean Sea. Dead humpback whale floating at sea.

2025, March 29. Wales, Treathgwyn Beach. Dead dolphin.

Marine Animal Disturbance Alert for Mexico, central American countries and USA

Marine Animal Disturbance Alert.

2025, March 27. Pacific Ocean, 920km WSW of Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. Large Airburst. Coordinates: (14.3N, 111.5W). e = 104.5, -e = 2.4 or 2,400,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 38.1km. Vel: 21.3km/s.

This comes after the December 20 airburst at the same latitude, 1443 km to the east. Two very significant events. Due to this event, cetaceans such as Humpback, Orca, and Risso's dolphins could be vulnerable. Gray is not as much due to its location. The upcoming migration season could see whale stranding all the way to Pacific NW. 

This brings the 2024-2025 airburst ratio to 3:13. A comet not seen in 160,000 years is entering the inner solar system, so it will be interesting to see what it brings with it.

The MAD'S for Brazil and the central Indian Ocean are still in effect.

South Africa Event

2025, March 19. South Africa, eastern Cape. Fireball. Seen travelling 180 degrees into/over ocean.

2025, March 24. South Africa, Hartenbos, Mossel Bay. A stranded beaked whale euthanised after attempts to refloat.

Airburst in Asia's line of meteor activity

2025, March 21. Western Australia, Karlamilyi National Park. Airburst. Coordinates: (22.8S, 123.5E). Altitude: 54.2 km. Velocity: NA. e = 3.9, -e = 0.13 or 130,000 kg/TNT.

Update

A second one was detected. This is not the time of year we want to see airbursts in the Southern Ocean "region". Summer feeding grounds?? Not good. And as the cetaceans head into their migration routes north in upcoming months this could lead to mass whale strandings. If airbursts are being detected, that means a load of debris is activating the atmosphere.

2025, March 24. Antarctica, 480km SSE of Casey station. Airburst. Coordinates: (70.4S, 114.2E). Altitude: 21.5km. Velocity: 28.2 km/s. Energy: 4.9, -e = 0.16 or 160,000 kg/TNT.

The 1946 mass False Killer whale stranding in Argentina

1946, October 6-10. Meteor Shower (1946 Outburst). The Draconid meteor shower, originating from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, peaked on October 9, 1946. This event was particularly remarkable, with observers reporting meteor rates ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 per hour. Despite a full moon that night, the shower's intensity made it visible across various regions, including South America. A fishing vessel captain off the coast of Uraguay stated that “the stars were overflowing”.

1946, October 9. Argentina, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Playa Bristol in Mar del Plata. A mass stranding of 835 false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens). There were reports that the super pod consisted of over 1200 individuals. The largest known stranding of this species to date.
