Let us go and ask our governor to help find the naja.  After all, he is currently trying to solve the mystery of the “Taos Hum”.  Perhaps he is onto something that will lead us to the naja while solving the Taos hum.

the University of New Mexico and the complaints from many citizens living near the town of Taos, New Mexico, caught the attention of the media.
…<BR><BR>
In 1997 Congress directed scientists and observers from some of the most prestigious research institutes in the nation to look into a strange low frequency noise heard by residents in and around the small town of Taos, New Mexico. For years those who had heard the noise, often described by them as a "hum", had been looking for answers. No one was sure when it began, but its persistence led first a few and then many of those who heard it (called "hearers" by each other) to band together. In 1993 they found their way to Congress.
Bill Richardson received bags of letters complaining about the Taos Hum. Some claim to have killed dogs due to anxiety brought on by the hum.  One lady wrote in the Albuquerque Journal that she divorced her husband of over 20 years because the hum would not let her sleep so she was forced to move away … etc. etc…

In Taos, it's something to complain about.
And Taosenos have complained. When Gov. Bill Richardson was a member of Congress, he had it investigated by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on which he served. That was in the early 1990s. Richardson said he thought it was a defense-related activity.  But, as with all defense-related activities, a positive finding would have to be kept secret for "national security" reasons. And that meant that even if Richardson found out, he couldn't report back to his constituents.  Now that the hum has spread nearly everywhere, we are beginning to hear reports that when complaints get loud and frequent, the hum mysteriously stops.  For those still in doubt about all this, check out the Taos Hum on the Internet. There are a surprising number of Web sites worldwide and most use the name Taos Hum. From scanning some of them, it appears that many people relieve their anxieties by setting up a Web site to learn more about what is happening to them and to learn who else is experiencing the same phenomenon. 
Besides Taos, the other hum location most frequently mentioned is Kokomo, Indiana. But for the most part, reports on Web sites I reviewed came from very small towns or completely rural locations.  Certainly the sound would be most noticeable in isolated locations. And when the sound stops, people in quiet locales say it is quite a jolt. The fact that the sound does stop, is a good indication that it is external and not something that is happening solely within an individual.

When the USAF informed Richardson what was really happening; time travel leaves a residual low frequency hum.  Richardson had a televised press release where he explained the Taos hum was indeed a large gear and bearing assembly that went “Out of Round” at Los Alamos National Labs about 100 miles to the southwest.

After all, who would believe the truth about time travel … especially coming from a politician?
