There are many photos of the scenes that have been published and they have much in common. The victims are usually elderly and living alone, often overweight or alcoholic, and the victim is often a pile of ash until the ankles, with the feet and shoes remaining and looking normal, if being attached to nothing but ashes can be called normal. It's called "the wick effect" burning from the head down like a candle. They are grisly photos.
The authors are determined to find whether or not these and many others, are because of SHC and they track down fire chiefs and hidden files of information. I have to assume that this is author Randles as she's listed as the main author and has a handful of books about UFOs and aliens to her credit too, so I think the overall belligerent tone of the book was hers. Reading things like, "Apparently we had upset someone on the production team (of an upcoming television show) by the decision, which we had carefully and fairly tried to explain. When one of us later arranged with the Radio Times to write a feature to tie in with the programme, the offer was mysteriously rescinded. We were told that someone from the series had advised the Radio Times against including our work and they felt they had to agree as the magazine relied upon Q.E.D.'s cooperation." Well, it was on. The book turned into a series of complaints about officials and librarians who tried to thwart her research, there was a whole chapter devoted to how wrong the mentioned tv show was, and this tone of "me against the world" went on and was something I looked forward to a lot. As far as concrete information, well, I'd say there's as much here as you'd find, as they did interview many first responders who had no explanation for what they saw.… (lisätietoja)
