Spontaneous combustion of the extra normal type is a phenomenon in which human beings, animals or objects, which are not easily flammable, seem to start to burn themselves and sometimes burn almost completely. Also, it often seems to happen through an inner energy. Often times nearby flammable objects, or even the person’s clothing, do not catch fire, which is often described as mysterious.
The phenomenon is highly controversial. However, it is true that people or animals are sometimes found dead in a badly burned state, with no apparent external heat source.
Sometimes people, animals, and objects have been seen to spontaneously start to burn, or people have experienced it and can tell for themselves. In these cases, the fire often appears violent and dramatic. But in most of these cases, the fire has either stopped on its own or gone out, and most of them have resulted in only minor superficial injuries, but some have been fatal because vital organs have been injured.
The cases of animal skins that catch fire spontaneously are numerous, but in most of these cases the fire goes out before the animal is seriously injured.
SOME PROPERTIES OF THE PHENOMENON THAT MAY HELP THE EXPLANATION
Most of the victims of the phenomenon are elderly, overweight and in poor health. They often live alone and are often heavy smokers or alcoholics. Therefore, they are those people who are likely to handle heat sources carelessly. Since fat contains a lot of energy, overweight people have more substance in their body to fuel the fire.
One property of these phenomena is easy to understand. If a human or animal body is burned due to energy from inside or outside, a large amount of water vaporizes, which will prevent the environment from catching fire, which explains that clothing or other nearby objects, often surprisingly, do not burn.
In all the well-documented cases where a person has been seen to suddenly start burning, fire has been shown to start from the outside, despite the myth that the fire started from the inside. There is a story from the USA where a woman seemed to be spontaneously breathing a raging fire coming from within her and coming out of her mouth. The fire went out, but he died within a few days. But the examination at the hospital revealed that the fire occurred on his face around his mouth and that he died due to lung inflammation, caused by the material from the fire that he inhaled.
THE WICK EFFECT AS AN EXPLANATION
In many cases, the effect of the wick is given as an explanation. If any part of the clothing catches fire from a small source of fire, such as the glow of a cigarette, the skin underneath can become heated so that the molten fat seeps through and the clothing or dry skin absorb the oil like a wick. . The fat that is constantly leaking out will be burned and other elements of the body in the place will be burned with it. This slow release of burning material will continue until much of the body is consumed if the person loses consciousness for any reason.
Often times, some of the clothing or parts of the furniture that the person is placed on is made of highly flammable material, and often it seems to have started a strong fire in that material and then spread to the person, and then the process could continue with wick effect.
Typically there will also be a chimney effect where fresh air will be sucked into the fire site and used air will rise to the ceiling, keeping the fire burning.
MORE PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL FACTORS THAT MAY EXPLAIN THE FIRE
Microwave radiation from some natural or technical source may have provided the energy for the process in some cases. The progressive electrical currents of an overloaded or faulty network can cause a fire where it passes, and if this happens to a person, the person can become unconscious and a continuous combustion process can begin due to the current or the wick effect.
Ball-shaped lightning is probably involved in some cases. Ball-shaped lightning bolts have often been seen striking objects and sometimes humans as a result of a fire or explosion. In the cases attested, the fire was put out before serious damage was done or stopped on its own. But in some unreported cases, the fire could have continued due to the wick effect, and some ball-shaped lightning bolts can contain enough energy to cause extensive burns as well.
Continuous electrical currents have been witnessed from the ground into the atmosphere, often also inside houses, actually a type of slow lightning. These rarely cause any harm, but if they pierce a person, they can render them unconscious and the current can become strong enough to cause burns on its own or a fire that continues otherwise.
There is a story from Norway where two people sitting at each end of a sofa in a cabin witnessed a current like a flame rising from the center of the sofa. Nothing was injured, but if a person had sat in the middle of the sofa, they could have conducted this current that could possibly become intense enough to cause burns.
If there is any bacteriological or metabolic process in the body that produces highly flammable volatile compounds, such as methane or ethane, and these dissolve in body fat and fatty secretions, and accumulate for a long time, on the surface of the body and great part of the interior. can become intensely flammable. Some source of ignition outside can then easily start a fire, and the fire will soon dig a deeper hole from which the oil and grease will vaporize and burn like a torch. Some witnessed cases of a person’s body parts suddenly catching fire may be due to this mechanism.
Some theorize that the brain can trigger an uncontrolled metabolic process that heats up the body so that it begins to burn. But such a metabolic process would cause combustion to start from the inside if that were the main source of energy, which never seems to happen, despite claims about it. Therefore, this explanation is unlikely.
There is a theory that some kind of internal nuclear reaction can cause the phenomenon, perhaps some kind of cold fusion. The problem with this explanation is also that it would cause the burning to start from within, which never really seems to happen.
Yet another theory is that the internal psychological or psychic energy, chi or kundanlini, is also released by some control process in the brain or mind, it can consume the body. There really does seem to be some evidence that such energy can cause fires in the surrounding area, and some people seem to be able to start fires this way, on purpose or uncontrollably. But again, such mystical energies should be able to start the process from within, if they were the source of the energy. Also, the energy released in this way always appears to be very small and can ignite an object, such as a piece of paper, only when focused.
Perhaps, however, these three mechanisms mentioned can heat spots on the skin, due to an optical focus of the released energy, to a temperature at which that spot begins to burn, and then continues to burn through the wick effect or other processes. external. .
SOME CASES MAY BE THE RESULT OF MILITARY ACTIVITY
However, there is another very scary explanation that, unfortunately, we must take into account in some cases:
Some of the offerings for spontaneous human combustion may be guinea pigs for microwave experiments or laser weapons, and some societies may use such weapons to get rid of individuals the authorities do not want to have there.
We know that microwave weapons exist for crowd control, and we know that police forces already use some variants for crowd control, but usually only to cause extremely unpleasant heat. These weapons can probably also be used in a much stronger mode that makes a person catch fire.
Military laboratories may use selected people as test objects and prefer to choose people who are in a socially weak condition. Such evidence can be the cause of some of the cases of spontaneous combustion of humans, animals or objects that we read about in the media or of some wildfires that occur surprisingly.
