<p>"The Bermuda Triangle and Parapsychology" By Dave Beall</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>. Although not embraced by the parapsychological community, the Bermuda
|
||
|
|
Triangle phenomena is an intriguing topic to the public. Jane Roberts' Seth
|
||
|
|
claims the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes is the result of a
|
||
|
|
"coordination point", which is a place where time and space meet. Supposed
|
||
|
|
energy "crystals" from the ancient culture of Atlantis, which Edgar Cayce
|
||
|
|
predicted would be discovered in the Atlantic Ocean, are suspected by some to
|
||
|
|
be responsible for the peculiar events in this region. Some individuals
|
||
|
|
consider UFOs as the source of the phenomena.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>. A provacative theory has been proposed by geologists as a result of the
|
||
|
|
recent discover and subsequent laboratory analysis of an ice like substance
|
||
|
|
called hydrate. A hydrate layer, formed by mixing cold sea water and natural
|
||
|
|
gas at immense pressures of the deep ocean, has been found on the ocean floor
|
||
|
|
in the triangle area, and this seal prevents natural venting of natural gas
|
||
|
|
from the large hydrocarbon desposits located there.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>. When a large natural gas pocket is suddenly released as a result of a
|
||
|
|
buildup in pressure or sea floor movement (i.e. faulting), ships can be
|
||
|
|
suddenly swallowed by the foamy mixture of gas and water and temporary
|
||
|
|
"islands" as much as one mile across can be visible on neighboring ship's radar
|
||
|
|
screens, as the gas enters the atmosphere. Negative ions generated by agitated
|
||
|
|
sea water rise into the atmosphere along with the lighter-than-air-gas, causing
|
||
|
|
magnetic disturbances which could disrupt compass readings in the area.
|
||
|
|
Aircraft, passing over the gas blowout, could experience engine failure due to
|
||
|
|
oxygen starvation in the gas rich air and crash without a trace.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>. Any sinking wreckage from a plane or ship could be carried miles from the
|
||
|
|
accident site by the strong currents in the region, before being consumed by
|
||
|
|
thick bottom muds or hydrate accumulations, leaving no evidence. The release
|
||
|
|
of trapped gas desposits ruptured by faulting in shallow ocean areas could
|
||
|
|
display similar characteristics, whithout hydrate, and the chance of a gas
|
||
|
|
blowout of this nature exists anywhere in the world's oceans where large
|
||
|
|
natural gas deposits are present. In the case of the Bermuda Triangle
|
||
|
|
phenomena, it would appear that a reasonable explanation has been proposed.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
. Many aspects of parapsychology or related areas may not have solutions
|
||
|
|
which readily conform to known physical principles. On the other hand, many
|
||
|
|
esoteric or metaphysical ideas may someday be explainable in purely physical
|
||
|
|
terms. In an attempt to understand paranormal occurences, an individual should
|
||
|
|
remain open and objective until all of the evidence is in so that the
|
||
|
|
temptation towards premature and unfounded conclusions can be overcome. </p>
