The background as reported by Nancy Talbott follows. This is in her words except the Experiencer’s and another investigator’s names are removed.

“June 17, 2013 – White Powder, found inside Florida home by (Experiencer), on marble window-sill & behind electric fireplace

DETAILS: (Experiencer) has been interested in UFOs/ETs, etc. for many years; is (or has been) a “Field Investigator” for Florida MUFON. She has visually seen light-balls (BOLs) from time to time in her house, once in 2016 after a hurricane when there was no electric power in neighborhood & her house totally dark. Has done a lot of “sky watching” last several years and has videotaped “craft” & has found “puncture marks” on her body & strange bruises which look like “3 fingers” in recent years.

On June 17, 2013 she was looking for her cat behind her big flat-screen TV which sits on a wooden bookcase-like stand in front of a wide, heavily-curtained window in the living room, and found piles of white powder along the inside marble window-ledge. She associates no particular anomalous incident to this discovery.

From photos of very crowded living room I suspect this window is perhaps never opened & is usually (or always) heavily curtained.

On the same day or shortly thereafter, after seeing her cat staring at electric fireplace (off) which sits on floor under the TV (& therefore under same window), she pulled unit out and found more white powder behind it also.

She reports that before she disturbed a few of the piles of powder on the window-sill, it had all been deposited in more-or-less separate rounded piles. The powder dissolves in water & apparently dissipates (either is absorbed by, or leaks out or turns to a gas) in plastic bags, which is how she first stored it. The approximately 6 teaspoons she still has left is now stored in a glass container.

She says she sent a sample (apparently in plastic bag) to the Dept. of Agriculture (Florida State?, I didn’t ask) some time ago, but got no response back.

In discussions with friends (who are “experiencers,” or “psychics” or “mediums” they have told her it was a “gift” (from ETs, I gather), which she then felt meant it had “healing” properties, which made her “think of her husband” (who is quite ill). She has allowed one friend who has a bad knee to rub his knee with the glass bottle containing the powder she still has, after which he claimed he felt heat, first in his knee & then through his whole body, after which he tells her his knee problem has disappeared—and has not returned.

On September 17, 2016 she went to a lecture by (Name Withheld), a MUFON Field Investigator TRAINEE, whom she gave another sample. He had heard of me and BLT and so contacted me to see if I could help get the material analyzed.

I’ve told (Experiencer) to mail you directly 1 teaspoon, in a sterile (if possible) glass jar, along with a sample of the type of plastic bag she kept material in previously, (when it “disappeared”).

The object is to identify the white powder.

Conclusions

• The white powder is identified as a hydrated form of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4●xH2O x=ca.7).
• Magnesium sulfate is primarily used for therapeutic purposes. It is commonly referred to as ‘Epsom Salt’. It’s used in bath soaks, hydrotherapy, in formulas this salt has been hailed as one of the easiest solutions to some common health ailments.1 Other uses include: fireproofing, textiles (warp-sizing and loading cotton goods, weighting silk, dyeing, and calico printing), mineral waters, catalyst carrier, ceramics, fertilizers, paper (sizing), cosmetic lotions, dietary supplement.
• After considering the uses of magnesium sulfate it is not clear as to why the powder appeared in the locations it did. Mediums/friends told the Experiencer that the white powder was a gift from ETs which she felt had healing properties. This analysis cannot confirm the source, but as noted above it does have therapeutic properties. However, this analysis does suggest that the source of the white powder magnesium sulfate is not from ‘Epsom Salt’. The physical forms are different, i.e. the white powder is very fine particles, while ‘Epsom Salt’ consists of larger granular aggregates of particles.
• The magnesium sulfate was purported to disappear when stored in a plastic bag. However, microscopic examination of the same plastic bag revealed that there are white particulates present.
• ’Epsom Salt’ was ground into white particulates to simulate the white powder and placed in an unused plastic bag supplied by the ‘Experiencer’. It did not dissipate/disappear over a three week period. The weight remained constant. So it is unknown why the magnesium sulfate stored in the ‘Experiencers’ plastic bag disappeared.
• The Experiencer’s sample is not the same as the white powder found in a number of Robbert van den Broeke events which was a hydrated form of magnesium carbonate, specifically with formula (MgCO3)4•Mg(OH)2•5H2O.3 This white powder mysteriously appeared in several crop circles, on a small table in a home, and outside a balcony door.

The post Analysis of a White Powder that Mysteriously Appeared in an Experiencer’s Residence (Florida, 6/17/2013) appeared first on The Black Vault Case Files.

White powders identified as a hydrated form of magnesium carbonate, specifically with formula (MgCO3)4•Mg(OH)2•5H2O, have been examined by this laboratory from assorted unusual events occurring in Holland. One powder was associated with the appearance of a ball of light (Technical Service Report: UT009) and three others were found in different crop formations (Technical Service Report: UT055). Another white powder was recently procured from a crop formation which occurred on October 5, 2009 in Hoeven, Holland. A photograph of the powder as found in the formation is above.

Following is a diagram of the formation. The white powder was found in the large circle as indicated by the arrow.

The objective of this analysis is to identify this powder, and determine if it is the same as those previously encountered.

Conclusions

• The white powder is a hydrated form of magnesium carbonate, with an approximate formula of (MgCO3)4•Mg(OH)2•5H2O. No other components are detected by FT-IR.1 The detection limit for this test is about 0.5% depending on the sample.
• The powder is the same as encountered in previous Holland events.
• No evidence for radiation above background, or UV fluorescing material is detected.

The background as stated by the witness follows:

“I was in bed, all of a sudden my bedroom lite up like a major size spot lite. I put my hand in front of my eyes to block the lite, a few seconds later it vanished. No noise. I didn’t pay much attention to this until a few days later, outside of my house, I have a beautiful tree and the grass is fine, my shrubs are fine, but the soil around the tree is very dry, and every leaf on the tree is burnt to a crisp, not one branch is broken. No burn marks. The tree is perfectly shaped, but every single leaf is burnt. I pick up a leaf and crush it in my hand to dust.”

Following is a hand-drawn map of the site:

Leaves, grass and bark samples were submitted to determine whether there are any anomalies that may be related to the event.

Conclusions

• The leaf samples from both samplings (#1 leaves from top of the tree, #2 leaves from backside of tree) visually and spectroscopically show with no unusual anomalies. Clearly there is no evidence for heat exposure. Detected are typical cellulose and natural ester. Also, there is same protein material which may be from mold or fungus. There appears to be more mold or fungal material on the leaves from the top of the tree, compared to those from the backside.
• Dead insect remains were found on the #1 leaves from the top of the tree. These included two exoskeletons from apparent ladybugs which adhered to the leaves. There was also a more intact bee or fly which fell out of the leaves. It is unknown if these insects were a result of the unusual light event, or dead before the event. It is known that internal parasitic fungi attack of the ladybugs could result in leaving the ladybugs exoskeleton along with securing it to the leaf.2 I would recommend that an entomologist examine the insects.
• Typical insect web material was found on a #2 leaf from the tree backside. The web looked normal.
• Grass from both samplings (#3 grass sample taken from the area below #1, #4 Grass sample taken from the area below #2) also appear normal. Typical cellulose and natural ester were detected, along with mold or fungal material.
• The bark contains typical cellulose and lignin material. Mold or fungal material is detected on the exterior of the sample. None is present in the interior.
• Based on the above conclusions, one highly probable speculation offered is that the tree may have been subjected to a fungal attack. Maples in the New England area have been noted to suffer this fate recently. See selected websites discussing maple tree blights.3 It is possible the fungal attack was in process before the event and only noticed a few days after. It would be wise to more accurately pin down a more precise timing between the noted good health of the tree versus the time the brown dead leaves were observed. If the time between the observation of live healthy green leaves to dead brown leaves was only a few days (two?), as indicated by the witness, then perhaps the light event may have been the cause.
