Interesting device. But I'm not sure why the little girl is being chased by an Italian anarchist.
I've been hearing the loud reports of the "Seneca guns" ever since I moved to Southport, NC. I believe I may have posted about them previously, but what's particularly interesting about this video, to me, is the claim made by the woman toward the end of the video that she saw spherical orange lights over the water at the same time she heard the booming noises. My step father has theorized that the explosive noise may be the result of methane gas escaping from the ocean floor, rising to the surface, and then igniting when it comes into contact with some kind of heat or electrical source (perhaps static electricity); the sounds and the fiery orange spheres seem to dovetail with my stepfather's guess.
Thanks for the link, Paco!
ReplyDeleteNow, if I can just remember to post those Harry Enfield clips again on International Womens Day.
Ah, I'm certainly looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteThe methane gas hypothesis is certainly feasible, assuming that the seabed off of Cape Fear has methane hydrates, and the woman's description of fire balls is consistent with that. But that's easily determined through core samples and other techniques.
ReplyDeleteAnd it turns out the boffins have found that off of the Carolinas.
Hmmmmmm!
But setting off the methane is a different matter. More work for the boffins!
So, I guess these are anthropomorphic fleas?
Well, there are plenty of parasites throughout homo sapiens. So, yeah.
Hey, we had quite a bit of fun, er, setting off methane back in the day!
ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly didn't want to experience fire balls when you were doing that!

ReplyDeleteThat suggests a possible hypothesis for how the methane is ignited. I shall call it “God’s Fart Flares”.
That wheel is cool. I want one.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder how hurt little kids got from using that.
I'd bet most kids lost a lot of knee skin, most of the rest lost knees.
Notice the horse... leavings on the road.
