I have noticed the excact same thing, I have this huge tower up in the woods here, and I have had the feel that the sun light firstly comes into the
vally in a unusal way and the sky litt up slightly on the wrong side of the tower.
Only thing I need confirmed now is people think the sky is abit to redish for taste and the north pole are moving west from my location..
Many years ago the north from my apartment was almost dead-on that tower, when I checked a few weeks ago with my sons cheap compas, it wasnt where I
rembered it to be. I may ofcorse be wrong, but this just backs up my own small / wierd observations..
Edit: seems there are afew people talking about this on other forums.

Hmm.
I've been growing vegetables the last couple of years here in the city & so naturally I've been paying close attention to which parts of the
building get the most sun & which parts get the most shade, etc. ...
So I was a little weirded out THIS year to notice that the sun has been setting farther & farther NORTH as we enter into summer -- the north side of
my building has been getting full sun, while the south side of my building has been getting more & more shade -- & this is NOT the pattern that I
experienced last year in this same building.
I was so disturbed by this that I got a compass & found out that, instead of pointing north, the needle of the compass is now pointing east!
you have to remember the earth will complete a full wobble so yes the electromagnetic field is shifting but it is shifting very slowly like the
continents drifting very slow. if there is allot of chem trails in your area the metal oxide could be causing static electricity. remember also if you
live near power lines or if new power lines are near it creates a magnetic field hope that helps
I also notice this, even mentioned it to my husband, I told him that the sun didn't look right in the sky, even the moon didn't look right the
other night!!
I always notice this, because my father brought me up to be able to tell the time from the sun. Now I seem to be always a hour behind!!
OK, I now have 2 compasses that I am trying out in a rural area that I am quite familiar with (no high power lines, or personal cell phones
nearby, etc.) & they are both pointing in the same direction, so I am assuming that they are both working correctly. I also got a map of the area &
lined it up with the street that I'm on & drew a line through the map representing true north. Then I placed the compass on the map & it is NOT
pointing to true north (or anywhere near it) -- it is pointing NORTHEAST, or 45 DEGREES OFF of where it should be pointing. So, ACCORDING TO THE
COMPASS, the sun IS setting in the west, but ACCORDING TO THE MAP the sun is setting in the northwest. I know this area quite well & I have NEVER seen
the sun set in the northwest!
The compass will point to magnetic north - which is as far as i know still shifting southwards. This may help you deytermine what north you are
observing:
From OS
Calculating Magnetic Variation
Example - Penzance
The Magnetic North to Grid North is given as 3 deg. 30' W in 1991 decreasing by about 30' in three years. Therefore the difference is 3 deg. 00' in
1994.
The difference between True North and Grid North at the sheet corners are given and, by interpolation, the difference at Penzance, (approximately
central to the map) is 2 deg. 40' E.
Therefore the difference between Magnetic North and True North is 3 deg. 00' plus 2 deg. 40' equals 5 deg. 40' in 1994.
New Magnet in Town
On May 21, 2009 Just checked the compass I have glued down to a shelf and found it has moved 4 degrees since my last post.
Thank you! I find it interesting that people on the west coast (of the U.S.) are noticing the compass swinging east of north & people on the east
coast are noticing the compass swinging west of north, not to mention the degrees of change are quite large. Sounds like the magnetic pole is moving
down the center of the U.S.? How strange.
On March 7, 2009 I have not reported the 2 compass readings taken here in Bethlehem, PA lately since they have been at about 60 degrees West of
North. But it has been several weeks that the compasses went to 78 degrees West of North and continues to hold steady.
I also commented before on this being a very unusual year for buttercups and cotton-grass, the change has to me, been unbelievable.
I have never seen so many young birds, and sadly dead runt chicks everywhere.
What is it with this young birds ? how does that relate to this ?
