Please tell me you don't buy this! This is junk science and conspiracy theories.The idea that the magnetic field is not existant around Mecca, that gravity affects one less in Mecca, and that there is some shortwave radio signal of infinite wavelength are just absurd. (An absolute contradiction in terms. Shortwave is from 1.6 to 30 MHz, generally speaking, and there are several radio bands with longer wavelength. Furthermore, a signal of infinite wavelength is just a dc component, and as such cannot carry information or propagate at all!)
Add to the bogus science that the supposed proof is data from NASA that has "mysteriously" disappeared, and you have a whole lot of mumbo jumbo that makes your religion appear less true, not more. Please don't just accept it because someone from your faith who appears smart is making these claims. Your faith and your god do not need dodgy, misused science, conspiracy theories, and outright disregard for the truth, do they? Aren't your beliefs deeper than that?

You're correct we don't need it. However the Quran's explicit agreement with the Big Bang theory, evolution and the embryological stages of human development are quite amazing.

And, while I have seen most of those, I find them... strained at best. But regardless, the kind of stuff the OP posted are not helpful. It presents your faith as one needing to be supported by sensationalistic falsities and conspiracy theories. I don't think that is his intention or yours.
I encountered similar attitudes when I was a Christian, and I have to say it is equally damaging to that faith. I find it frustrating when well meaning people will swallow and regurgitate things that are demonstrably false because the person who told it to them is a fellow believer. It is demeaning to one's own sincerely held faith to support it with falsities and deception.
While I don't believe, I do think Islam is a for more complex and interesting religion than one would think from some of what gets posted. Its just a shame that so much of the discussion gets derailed into terrorism or stuff like this.

I understand. The focus is usually on what a said religion's members are doing rather than the actual theology, philosophy and scripture of said religion. I guess it makes perfect sense as I believe most people only know a given religion based on their interaction with members of the religion or how they see the religion portrayed in media.

Well, it's obvious that NoCapo, has not made the hajj, or he would have spoken of his experiences. I would like to hear from those whom have made the pilgrimage. I would not accept someone else's experience's as junk science!

Absolutely correct. And you will not see me make the hajj, as I am not a muslim.
I do not doubt for a moment that many believers who make that pilgrimage experience a feeling of energy, an electric atmosphere, a spiritual charge while they take part in one their faiths' great traditions in the company of other believers.
I had similar experiences as a Christian attending the Brownsville Revival in Florida, and at a host of other occasions taking part in worship and spiritual communion with those who shared my faith. At this point in my life, I believe that those experiences were based on my human emotions, expectations, and sense of community, and not on a divine presence or mystical spiritual energy. Nevertheless I believe that the feelings I experienced were real, and I believe the experience described on the hajj is no less real.
However, that does not change the fact that the speaker is flatly incorrect about the science of the Earth's magnetic field, about gravity being somehow abnormal around Mecca, and about the possibility of a shortband signal of infinite wavelength (a contradiction in terms, not unlike a square circle).
To try to explain the experience of communion with thousands of fellow believers, of participating in one of the most foundational experiences of your faith often at great personal expense, of putting your whole being into an act of obedience to the God that you worship with bad science and things that are demonstrably not true is to do your own faith a disservice. Let your faith, your devotion, and your experiences stand alone. Are they not a powerful enough testimony on their own? They don't need to be justified with nonsense that reads like a science fiction novel.

NoCapo, you don't know that some Christians, make the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Well, we all have a lot to learn, in the life of this world.
NoCapo, you don't know that some Christians, make the pilgrimage to Mecca.
This from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Cosular Affairs;
Non-Muslims are forbidden to travel to the holy city of Makkah.
Non-Muslims are strictly prohibited from entering the city of Mecca. The penalty is deportation from the country. Documentation will be checked upon entry and anyone not showing proof of being Muslim will be denied entry.
And here is another fun fact: In the U.S.A, an estimated 80 percent of mosques are supported largely with funds and imams from Saudi Arabia.
