7/11/2014 — ESA’S SWARM SATELLITES REVEAL POSSIBLE ‘POLE SHIFT’ BEGINNING
Scientific American discusses the recent findings of the SWARM mission done by the ESA.
The article talks about signs of a possible ‘pole shift’ beginning to happen.
The European Space Agency SWARM satellites were launched to measure Earth’s magnetic fields, their movements, decay, and hotspots.
Here is my video on the subject (first a video from 2011 announcing the planned mission, then the new data from 2014).

Earth’s magnetic field, which protects the planet from huge blasts of deadly solar radiation, has been weakening over the past six months, according to data collected by a European Space Agency (ESA) satellite array called Swarm.
The biggest weak spots in the magnetic field — which extends 370,000 miles (600,000 kilometers) above the planet’s surface — have sprung up over the Western Hemisphere, while the field has strengthened over areas like the southern Indian Ocean, according to the magnetometers onboard the Swarm satellites — three separate satellites floating in tandem.
The scientists who conducted the study are still unsure why the magnetic field is weakening, but one likely reason is that Earth’s magnetic poles are getting ready to flip, said Rune Floberghagen, the ESA’s Swarm mission manager. In fact, the data suggest magnetic north is moving toward Siberia.
“Such a flip is not instantaneous, but would take many hundred if not a few thousand years,” Floberghagen told Live Science. “They have happened many times in the past.”

The above article says this could take many years to occur. The progression of the North pole, towards Siberia, can be seen in the new SWARM measurements in the above video.
Clearly the pole is moving, and picking up speed annually.

Should be, but since the resolution decreases exponentially when you zoom with a camera like that and at that distance, you'll never get clear lines unless you have a camera that cost roughly 3000 dollars. :)
The object also happens to behave exactly how a bunch of ballons tied together do behave when blown around in hard wind while ascending. :)
"Previously, researchers estimated the field was weakening about 5 percent per century, but the new data revealed the field is actually weakening at 5 percent per decade, or 10 times faster than thought."
Or at least it's doing so NOW.
In the end of the spiral everything moves faster and faster, so if the "time" goes 10 times faster NOW, it means it'll go 100 times faster very soon, and shortly after that the poles will probably flip.
Watch the runways of your local airports. They adjust them every year to account for the north pole drift. If they suddenly start to make BIG adjustments, you can be quite sure that we're truly at the end of the spiral and that the pole shift is imminent. :)
Nice party-balloons glowing in the reflecting sun there. :)
Looks like someone have lost a bunch of white-colored balloons like these:
The real Northpole is also moving extreme (Earthwobble)

I can`t wait for our brothers and sisters to ````officially```` arrive. I know I wont able to control myself, and will give them the biggest hug ever :D <3
