This is what I find weird about these cases. Specially with bones, which are hard to turn to ashes by just some fire,no matter how long it lasts. Also, these cases are around the same dates, around the fifties and sixties, so there’s that, where are the other contemporary cases if this is something that can happen so easily as it seems?
But mostly with bones and ashes and those legs always left untouched. Couln’t it be implanted evidence? Who knows…

Although the “wick effect” is present in many of these cases, it is not the source of ignition. The mechanism of ignition is a condition known in the medical field as “hypernatremia” or quite simply, an accumulation of sodium in the body, most often triggered by renal failure (this is the reason alchoholism is often present as well, although it is not the cause of combustion). High levals of sodium, when exposed to water, ignite spontaneously and produce considerable heat and flame. In the laboratory, the effects of spontaneous human combustion can be simulated by injecting pure sodium directly into the flesh of a cadaver. The flesh literally erupts into flame as water and sodium combine to form a very powerful chemical reaction. In a living body, ignition occurs when the concentration of sodium reaches critical mass. Additionally, oxygen present in the surrounding(closed)environment can be consumed by this chemical reaction and generally prevents the fire from spreading to other combustables in the room. If conditions are right, the “wick effect” can then occur, consuming body fats until very little of the victim remains.

Why not hypothesize that HSC is the result of some form of powerful ray that for some as yet unknown reason targets certain humans? Say it aims for the solar plexus ie. torso for more assured destruction. Perhaps emitting from a UFO or another dimension. Well, that’s what I tend towards as an explanation. If you can accept this, then all the pieces fall into place. I believe UFO’s have long been in the possession of the US govt., hence no great leap of faith for me.

I’ve heard of people exploding… some person exploded walking down the street or something and then the pieces of body that landed on the ground burst into flames…..
I’ll post that story if you like ;o)

i seen the show, it went thru the stages of what happens to animal after it dies and how it swells and the weather at the time of them moving the whale and how long it sat here or there during its travel from one place to the other. it was interesting and would of been gross to be there in the path of the explosion of the whale
