Mystery Flight 370 Ends in the Indian Ocean Vile Vortex

As I previously noted here and in the most popular posting I've written for this Twilight Language blog (with over 17,000 readers as of today), "Terrorism, Aliens, Vile Vortices: The Mysteries of Missing Flight 370," on March 9, 2014, I hinted where the focus of the search would end,

The Wharton Basin, especially its southern portions, is the key to this vile vortice. 

Ships and planes have not been the subject of study here but whirling rings of lights under the Indian Ocean.

Unlike the Bermuda Triangle and Japan's Dragon's Triangle or Devil's Sea, the area where Flight 370 appears to have vanished has no popular culture name.

Because of its location of several storied waves and terrible winds, locals call these seas just south of here the "Roaring Forties." But those seas may have distracted searchers for days.

The area of interest is known in Fortean literature as the Indian Ocean's vile vortex, labeled "Wharton Basin" on one map.

While it was plotted out to be a predicted area of vanishings by Sanderson and others, there is a clear explanation of why it was ignored.

"There would appear to be ten lozenges, or vortices, ringing our earth in two belts, one in the northern, and the other in the southern hemisphere. These are approximately, if not precisely, centered 72° apart, and those in the southern hemisphere all shifted to the East (or right) exactly the same distance to about 40°. All but two lie over water but there is no evidence for one in the southern Indian Ocean; probably because no ships or planes ever passed through or over it."
Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible Residents, 1970, p. 143.

The Flight 370 search areas have moved around until now, when the focus is in the vile vortex of the southern Indian Ocean.

Old Route 66 Again: McStay Remains Found

Victorville, California's Route 66 Museum.

Old Route 66 is in the news again. Recently, a murder of a college coach in Joplin, Missouri, and a Bigfoot hunt shooting at Catoosa, Oklahoma both took place along the old 66. Now comes word from Victorville, California, also along Route 66, of bodies of some missing people being found.

Two of the four sets of remains found this week in a Southern California desert are those of a couple who disappeared in 2010 -- Joseph McStay and his wife, Summer -- San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said today, citing dental records.

Authorities believe the other two sets of remains are those of the McStays' sons, Joseph and Gianni, but those identities still need to be confirmed through DNA records, McMahon said. The manner of the deaths was homicide, he said.

Joseph McStay disappeared along with his wife, Summer, and their two young children, Gianni and Joey, in February 2010, launching what San Diego sheriff's investigators called their most extensive missing-persons search ever.

Investigators reportedly pursued hundreds of tips and eventually came to believe the family left voluntarily for Mexico. Investigators were convinced that four people seen on a dimly lit surveillance video walking into Tijuana, Mexico were the McStays.

Authorities announced Friday that remains found Wednesday in shallow graves near Victorville, about 60 miles northeast of Los Angeles, were those of 40-year-old Joseph McStay and his 43-year-old wife, Summer. Authorities said they believe the other remains belong to the McStay children, but they have more work to do to confirm it. Their deaths were determined to be homicides.

In 1926, the highway U.S. Route 66 was begun, and it passed through Victorville. Today, that former route is known as Seventh Street and continues across Interstate 15 and becomes Palmdale Road. It is the primary street through Old Town Victorville.

Autopsies were still being completed, and the cause of death has not been released.

The name McStay is Northern Irish (County Down) in origin, an altered form of Irish Mustey, which is an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Maoilstéighe "descendant of Maoilstéighe," a personal name of unknown origin.

Freetown Mystery: Missing Woman and Missing Rescuers

An area of unusual activity within the Bridgewater Triangle is the Freetown-Fall River State Forest. The forest land that formed the town of Freetown was purchased from the Wampanoag Tribe in 1659, and many Native Americans have claimed that the odd and evil events which transpired over the preceding 350 years are the result of a tribal curse. For decades the Freetown State Forest has reportedly been the site of various cult activity including animal sacrifice, ritualistic murders committed by admitted Satanists, as well as a number of gangland murders and a high number of suicides.

Tonight, August 8, 2011, there are reports coming out of the SE Massachusetts area that a woman is missing in the Freetown State Forest.

The woman was finally found, but not before a few people searching for her also got lost and had to be rescued. Media accounts on Tuesday, August 9, 2011, had this summary:

State police say two Fall River police officers and an environmental police officer who went into the 5,400-acre Freetown State Forest to find a lost woman had to be rescued themselves after they lost their direction.
The officers had found the woman, said to be in her mid-20s, by about 11:45 p.m. Monday and intended to guide her out of the woods. But they lost their way and all four needed help getting out.
A state police helicopter which had been involved in the initial search returned, along with state police and a K-9 unit. The officers and the woman were located at about 12:10 a.m. Tuesday.
The forest is located in the southeastern Massachusetts communities of Freetown and Fall River.

Rapture Cult Suicide Alert: They Found 'Em

Update: The missing people were found in a park, praying.

Was this all merely media manipulation, a false alarm, or true law enforcement concern?

Law enforcement agencies on Saturday, September 18, 2010, launched a manhunt for members of a cult-like group after five adults and at least eight children were reported missing in Los Angeles. The 13 people, including one whom authorities described as a " cult-like leader," were reported missing Saturday afternoon after leaving a prayer meeting, the Los Angeles Sheriff Department said.

The group was believed to be traveling in three vehicles: a white 2004 Nissan Quest, a 1995 white Mercury Villager and a newer-model, silver Toyota Tundra, according to the California Highway Patrol, which issued an alert for them.

The missing persons also include three sisters, ages 30, 32 and 40, a 19-year-old son and eight children ages 3 to 17, according to Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker.

Though there is no evidence they were planning to commit group suicide, an all-out search was in progress on Saturday night in the Antelope Valley area to check on their welfare, he said.

All of them were El Salvadoran immigrants, and left behind evidence they were waiting for the Rapture, or the end of the world, Parker said.

The incident began at 1:45 p.m. when two husbands went to the Lancaster sheriff's station to report that their wives were missing.

The husbands said they believed their wives had joined a cult-like group that broke off from an unidentified church in Palmdale, Los Angeles, Parker said.

One of them said he had been told by the leader, Reyna Marisol Chicas, 32, to pray over a purse that was in a Palmdale residence.

Palmdale and Antelope Valley have intriguing histories tied to high strangeness (see, for example, here and here). Daniel Fry, a contactee, attended Antelope Valley High School in Lancaster during the 1920s. Frank Zappa attended Antelope Valley High School in Lancaster, graduating in 1958. He met Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) there, a fellow student at the time.

California's links to cults and mass suicides, especially regarding such events as Jonestown and Heaven's Gate, have made authorities in the past quite anxious to prevent repeats of those scenarios.
