You appear to be going over arguments discussed 20 or 30 years ago and I do not have time to re-invent the wheel. I suggest you carefully read the Taos Hum investigation carried out by the University of New Mexico and then go to the Taos Hum Home Page run by Bill Beatty, look through the archives at the work done by Sara Allen and James Garner.
