Geological mystery lies deep below state
|
|
|
|
Deep, very deep, in the heart of South Georgia, miles beneath the
|
|
tiny crossroads town of Surrency, lies a mysterious, newly
|
|
discovered geologic formation never detected anywhere else in the
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
Geologists say the "Surrency Bright Spot," nine miles beneath South
|
|
Georgia's piney woods, may be an ancient reservoir of water or other
|
|
fluid formed more than 200 million years ago by the collision of
|
|
North Africa and North America.
|
|
|
|
"It's big, and we've never seen anything like it before," says
|
|
Dr. Larry Brown, an associate professor of geological sciences
|
|
at Cornell University, who was part of a scientific team that
|
|
discovered the formation.
|
|
|
|
Brown, a director of the Cornell-based Consortium for Continental
|
|
Reflective Profiling (COCORP), which is developing a detailed
|
|
picture of the Earth's mantle, says the formation - "bright" only in
|
|
terms of the way it reflects sound waves - is about two miles in
|
|
diameter and appears to be shaped like a contact lens.
|
|
|
|
If it is a subterranean pool of water or other fluid, it could force
|
|
physicists to revise models of the Earth's crust. Until now many of
|
|
them felt the heat and pressure at those depths were too great for
|
|
fluids to exist.
|
|
|
|
Nine miles down, temperatures are nearly 500 degrees Fahrenheit and
|
|
pressures are great enough to flatten the sturdiest truck like a
|
|
pancake.
|
|
|
|
"We really don't have a good idea what the object the formation
|
|
is composed of," says Brown. "If it is water, it would upset a
|
|
lot of scientific theories, and it would cause us to rethink
|
|
our ideas about the role of water in forming the Earth's
|
|
mantle."
|
|
|
|
Brown says it might be a liquefied gas, such as carbon dioxide or
|
|
methane, or something more exotic, such as liquid helium. But he
|
|
says because of the tremendous pressure and temperature, it is
|
|
probably not oil. Even if it were, it would be impossible to recover
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from such a depth, miles deeper than the deepest oil well. Surrency
|
|
Mayor Stanford Tillman, first informed of the unique geologic
|
|
feature last week, has his own theory.
|
|
|
|
"It might have something to do with Surrency's ghost," he says.
|
|
"If this town is known for anything, it's for the ghost that
|
|
supposedly haunted the old Surrency house owned by the family
|
|
for whom the town is named during the 1870s and 1880s."
|
|
|
|
Tillman says inhabitants of the house reported dishes flying off
|
|
shelves, logs jumping off the fire and bricks coming through the
|
|
walls. The "ghost" became so famous that people rode the train from
|
|
Atlanta just to see the "haunted" house, which burned down at the
|
|
turn of the century.
|
|
|
|
"A lot of us also suspect that the goings-on had something to
|
|
with unusual magnetic activities in our area," says Tillman.
|
|
"The discovery of this object formation is very exciting to
|
|
me."
|
|
|
|
Brown's interest in the discovery is of a more scientific nature.
|
|
The geologists were looking for the long-sought "suture" between the
|
|
North African and North American continents when they got the first
|
|
hint of the existence of a massive formation in 1985. Recent tests
|
|
confirmed the existence of the "bright spot," and Brown says details
|
|
will be published soon in a scientific journal.
|
|
|
|
"Finding the suture between the continents was exciting, but
|
|
the fact that we found this bright spot is even more
|
|
exciting," says Brown.
|
|
|
|
The discovery is part of an ongoing effort to develop a detailed
|
|
picture of the Earth's crust, which extends 20 miles below the
|
|
planet's surface. The scientists beam sound waves deep underground.
|
|
When they are reflected back to the surface, they are recorded on a
|
|
graph, giving scientists an idea of the formations far below. The
|
|
system helped to determine that the suture between North Africa and
|
|
North America runs in a broad, gentle arc from Brunswick through
|
|
Americus and on to the Alabama border.
|
|
|
|
About 500 million years ago, the two continents collided, forming
|
|
the Appalachian Mountains. When they pulled apart 180 million years
|
|
ago, a piece of North Africa remained lodged against North America,
|
|
a continental fragment that now is beneath Florida and South
|
|
Georgia. Sometime during that collision, geologists say, water or
|
|
some other fluid may have trickled deep into the zone between the
|
|
continents, forming the Surrency Bright Spot.

Vangard Note...
|
|
|
|
We must bring up two interesting points in regard to this
|
|
article.
|
|
|
|
The first is in reggrd to the Hollow Earth theory. The
|
|
observation was that it was 9 miles down, at 500 degrees
|
|
Fahrenheit and (according to modern theories) subjected to
|
|
tremendous pressures.
|
|
|
|
In regard to the Hollow Earth theory, specifically from the book
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Etidorpha", mention is made of a shell of energy surrounding a
|
|
central point. This shell attracts on both sides (i.e. from the
|
|
outside surface towards it and from the inside surface towards
|
|
it). Matter is aggregated from space and from within. The
|
|
sphere of energy is hundreds of miles in diameter inside with a
|
|
glowing sun at the center. Many legends speak of caves and
|
|
tunnels deep within the earth leading to Shamballa and Agharta.
|
|
These are where the most advanced of the surface dwellers are
|
|
sometimes invited to reside with the inhabitants who are
|
|
descendants of devastated cultures such as the Mayans and
|
|
Atlanteans.
|
|
|
|
The point is that the book Etidorpha says that there are many
|
|
entrance points leading to caves and tunnels which go almost
|
|
directly to this mirror image of the surface. These entrance
|
|
points are many especially in the Southeastern section of the
|
|
USA. At one point in the book, the travelers crossed a huge
|
|
lake of very still water, since there was no wind to disturb the
|
|
surface for the creation of waves. An unmoving surface would
|
|
interestingly enough reflect sound waves much as the article
|
|
mentions. Very curious, despite the incredulous reaction of
|
|
those who refuse to look into such things.
|
|
|
|
The second observation from this article is the mention of the
|
|
"ghostly happenings" at the turn of the century. Aside from the
|
|
more likely probability of poltergeist activity (which in itself
|
|
might be the same thing), could this not be the actions of the
|
|
DERO which Richard Shaver and Ray Palmer wrote about in the 50's
|
|
and 60's. The DERO are the "evil twins" of the TERO. Both are
|
|
said to be descended from a race of surface dwellers who were
|
|
forced to move underground when the Sun began giving off
|
|
radioactive and deadly radiation.
|
|
|
|
However, the beneficent radiations emanating from a normal Sun
|
|
soon caused mutations and the spawning of the DERO. The TERO
|
|
were the ones who managed to remain relatively free of the
|
|
mutations but were affected by sickness and loss of mental
|
|
ability.
|
|
|
|
When this race moved underground, they took with them many of
|
|
the advanced machines which were developed on the surface.
|
|
According to Shaver, many of these devices still work though the
|
|
devolved races have forgotten how to repair those which don't.
|
|
Many of the machines are said to project rays which can affect
|
|
the minds of people, teleport, give intense pleasure or pain,
|
|
cause levitation or movement from a distance, etc... The DERO
|
|
delight in the use of such devices to torment surface dwellers.
|
|
|
|
Of those who buy the SHAVER story, some think that the ray
|
|
machines could explain some of the "ghostly happenings" which
|
|
have occurred for centuries all over the world. Who knows?
|
|
Possibly there is a link with the article somewhere in all this
|
|
smoke.
