Starfish ship. The Incredible Case of the Starfish Vessel

However, it suddenly turned out that one of the members of the Leichardt expedition, Adolf Klassen, lives near the Mulligan River. This was told by Andre Hum, who wandered from place to place and once met Klassen. But Hum knew nothing about the missing expedition and did not question Klassen about it. With the support of public organizations, Hum decided to visit those places again, but at that time there was a severe drought, and the tramp died. Many years passed before Huma's words were confirmed. It turned out that Klassen really lived for more than 30 years near the Mulligan River in the village of dark-skinned aborigines. They killed Klassen while trying to escape, he wanted to join a group of white people who were nearby. Thus disappeared the last opportunity to learn anything about the fate of Leichardt and his companions.

In the 20th century, already 150 years after the disappearance of the expedition, Matthias Zack, a forester, arrived in Darwin and reported that he had found several rock paintings in one of the caves. They depicted a white man and an animal. The drawings were made by a native. Matthias photographed what he saw. It was decided to go to this cave. However, shortly before the departure of the expedition, the forester suddenly disappeared.

The fate of Ludwig Leichardt's expedition remains a mystery to this day.

Missing Starfish

The ship "Starfish", sailing under the Indian flag, on October 16, 1992 followed the course from Bombay to Malaysia. It carried 49 people: 10 passengers and 39 sailors. For five days, the Starfish sailed safely to its destination. Then suddenly a storm arose, and SOS signals followed from the ship. Vessels that were nearby began to approach the ship giving distress signals. But after a while, the radars stopped detecting the signals of the Starfish. When the storm subsided, a search was organized for the ship. Rescue boats conducted a thorough search for several days. But there were no traces of the Starfish, not a single piece of debris, not a single object from the missing ship was found. The search was stopped. It was officially announced that the entire crew, along with the ship, died during the storm.

3 years later, on the same day - October 16 - "Starfish" appeared in the same place from which it disappeared. This time the sea was calm and there were fishing boats in it. Amazed fishermen and coast guards saw the inscription on the ship: "Starfish". Immediately, a signal followed from the ship: “We are all right! The storm is over!" However, the last storm in this place was observed more than a year ago, and no one heard the SOS signal. And the people on the Starfish were already celebrating their salvation. When they were informed that they had been considered dead for 3 years already, the crew took it as a joke. According to them, they were in the storm zone all this time. And the captain of the ship sent a distress signal only 3 hours ago. People were horrified when they realized that they had been in non-existence for 3 years.

Similar cases of disappearance, and then the appearance, however, of individuals occurred both before and after the story with the Starfish.

Attempts have been made to explain this mystical time shift. The most common was the version of the abduction of people by space aliens. Another version of the explanation boiled down to the fact that in certain places on the globe there are certain forces that break the spatio-temporal patterns. People (as well as objects) entering such areas fall out of real time. They seem to move into another world, and then reappear in the present time. At the same time, if a person was absent in our dimension for 3 years, then only 3 hours have passed for him; if the year, then, respectively, the hour. In such anomalous places, for example, in Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick, Canada, or in the Oregon sinkhole near Grant Gorge, the presence of such forces was recorded using scientific instruments. However, no one has yet been able to explain their nature.

Norfolk Regiment

The Norfolk Regiment, one of the divisions of the British Army, traces its history back to 1881. Then it included militias and volunteers. Even earlier, in 1685, the regiment was known as the 9th Infantry. It was commanded by Colonel Henry Cornwell. During the First World War, the regiment consisted of 6 battalions: 2 regular, one reserve and 3 battalions belonged to the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.

The Norfolk Regiment attacked the Turkish positions on the Gallipoli peninsula. On August 7, 1915, the 1/4 and 1/5 battalions of the regiment, commanded by Captain Montgomery and Colonel Sir Horace Bosch, first landed in Suvla Bay, and then began to advance on the village of Anafarta. Their opponent was the military units of the 36th Turkish division, commanded by Major Munib-Bey.

Several days passed in intense fighting. On August 12, the 1/5 Battalion volunteer company was ordered to take Hill 60. 267 men took part in this battle under the command of Colonel Bosham and Captain Frank Reginald Beck. What happened next is shrouded in mystery. Those who watched what was happening said that when the soldiers of the Norfolk regiment walked along the dell, a cloud appeared that looked like fog. For some time it hid the Norfolk, and when the cloud moved a little further, the soldiers disappeared.

Eyewitnesses of those events claim that the cloud that swallowed the soldiers was not like the usual one. It seemed to be made of solid matter. In addition, there were 6 or more of the same clouds next to it. Shortly after the soldiers disappeared, all the clouds began to move towards Bulgaria, and then disappeared from view.

In 1918, the British government accused Turkey of the death of their regiment. The Turkish government, in turn, stated that they had not even heard of the existence of Norfolk. Then several hypotheses arose as to how the Norfolk Regiment disappeared. It has been suggested that the cloud that covered the soldiers was actually nothing more than an alien craft. It was they who were kidnapped by English soldiers. Other explanations are based on the assumption that the British somehow ended up in another time or space dimension.

There is also a realistic version. On it, the soldiers of the Norfolk Regiment were killed by the Turks. This fact has been confirmed. So, in 1918, after the end of the First World War, an investigation was carried out. A military headgear worn by the Norfolk was found on the battlefield. It turned out that the owner of the farm, located just in the place where the battle was going on, returned to find many corpses of British soldiers. Many of them showed signs of decay, and he threw the Norfolks into a gorge near the farm.

Missing Starfish

Similar cases of disappearance, and then the appearance, however, of individuals occurred both before and after the story with the Starfish.

This text is an introductory piece.

1992 October 16, the Indian ship "Starfish" left Bombay heading for Malaysia. There were 10 tourists and 39 crew members on board. At first everything went fine, but on the fifth day of the journey, a violent storm suddenly began. Radio contact was interrupted and the last message from the ship was: “SOS! Drowning!” And in speed, the ship disappeared from all radars of ships approaching the place of distress.

When the storm subsided, 5 boats of the Indian Coast Guard were sent to search for the Starfish. For several days they thoroughly examined the disaster area, but no traces of the ship were found. The official reports noted that the "Starfish" tragically sank and all passengers and crew members died.

Exactly 3 years later, to the day - on October 16, 1995, at the same place, in front of the eyes of the surprised fishermen, a ship appeared out of nowhere, as if out of thin air. The ships that were nearby received a signal from him: “Everything is in order! SOS is cancelled! The storm has suddenly stopped! But no one heard any distress signal, well, there were no storms in this area for more than a year!

The Coast Guard was utterly astonished when they learned that the mysteriously materialized ship was the missing Starfish. The passengers on the ship held a celebration in honor of their salvation. At first, they did not believe that their ship had been officially considered dead for 3 years. The captain considered the statement to be an inappropriate joke. According to him, they sent the last distress call no more than three hours ago, and for these three hours they heroically fought the storm. One can imagine the horror of the members of the crew of the ship "Starfish" when they nevertheless realized that they were deleted from life for the whole 3 years!

Perhaps the story told will seem implausible to some, but many more such incidents are known. According to the magazine Skeptical Inquirer, in 1995, Louise Dupin, a Frenchwoman who lived in a small provincial town, disappeared under unclear circumstances. It was not possible to find her, and her relatives assumed the worst. But a year later, day after day, Louise unexpectedly returned. It took a long time to convince the unlucky "traveler" that her walk lasted a whole year.

It turns out that on that ill-fated day, Louise went shopping. It seemed a little strange to her that she did not meet a single person along the way. Suddenly the sky was covered with clouds, a strong wind rose. The young woman's health worsened, and then she saw that she had lost her way. After getting lost for about an hour, in the end she went to a local shop, sincerely not understanding why all the neighbors were looking at her so frightened ...

Periodically, there are reports in the media about people who mysteriously disappear for one or another period of time, and then appear in the same place. Scientists have repeatedly attempted to study these anomalous phenomena, but the results have never been published. In the meantime, people continue to disappear in this way in various parts of the planet. There is even some regularity. As a rule, before disappearing, people observe a sharp deterioration in the weather. Suddenly a storm or hurricane began, heavy rain, suddenly it became very cold. Most of the disappeared felt a nagging pain in their temples, their eyes suddenly darkened. As you can see, it was at this moment that the mysterious happened. According to the estimates of the missing person, only 2, maximum 3 hours passed. Then they again found themselves in the same place, where they were suddenly overtaken by a storm. One more nuance strikes. If people believe that they wander for an hour, then they were in a year, but if the missing person had 2 hours, he returned to real life after 2 years. Curiously, the victims of such disappearances did not meet anyone on their way, and their wrist or pocket watches stopped at the moment of disappearance and return, and then started to go again.

There are several hypotheses about these mysterious phenomena. According to one of them, a person is abducted by aliens, who then investigate him for a long time. But this version is not very convincing. Firstly, the “traveler” himself does not remember anything about such experiments, and secondly, the similarity of such cases casts doubt on this.

More interesting, albeit controversial, seems to be another point of view. Perhaps, in some places on the planet, powerful cosmic energy accumulates, sometimes breaking space-time relationships. People who accidentally get there at this moment find themselves, as it were, in a trap, out of time. But how they manage to get back, is still not clear. Probably, the clue must be sought in the phenomenon of teleportation. In some ways, these two phenomena are identical.

Specialists who deal with the problem of the strange disappearance of people consider it necessary not only to study in detail the territories where such phenomena occurred, but also to conduct an examination of the disappeared themselves. However, now this is hardly possible, because most scientists, despite eyewitness accounts, still do not believe in ...

In addition to the strange disappearances of people, there were cases of objects falling into invisible holes, from which they could no longer be removed. Sometimes such an object appeared later in another part of the world. In his book Strange Mysteries of Time and Space, Harold T. Wilkins described a case in which a man at sea accidentally dropped a knife overboard. At the same moment, his wife (who was at home) was horrified to see that the same knife fell from the kitchen ceiling and stuck into the table.

Items fall into holes between dimensions, but they also seem to come back out of them. Almost any object that you can imagine fell into holes: pieces of red meat, live fish, cookies, even alligators ... An incomprehensible substance called "angel hair" is often noticed in places where they have seen. It is a thin, white fibrous material that falls from the sky in areas where flying saucers have been seen. Such objects often fall from a clear, cloudless sky, when not even an aircraft is visible, which could be blamed for what happened.

On our planet, there are several such mysterious regions that seem to be in another world. In such areas, the laws of nature have almost no force.

One such place is Magnetic Hill near Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada. Cars, rubber balls, even water - everything rolls with ease ... up in this strange place. The forces acting on objects are not magnetic, because non-ferrous objects behave in the same way as those made of this metal. On Magnetic Hill, the forces of gravity act as if exactly the opposite.

Another strange place where things are behaving differently than usual is the Oregon sinkhole along Sardine Creek near Oregon's Grant Gorge. The Oregon sinkhole has a diameter of about 55 m. Strange forces pull people and other bodies to the center of the sinkhole, so you need to deviate from the center to maintain balance. Objects even roll uphill on an inclined plane towards the center of the funnel.

Scientific instruments confirm the presence of the force, but scientists have not yet been able to find an explanation for its origin.

The strange forces at work on Magnetic Hill and in the Oregon sinkhole can be witnessed by anyone. However, there may be similar strange places on Earth that affect only some susceptible people. For example, researcher Brad Steiger from America, in Mysterious Disappearances, describes a person who has the supernatural ability to pass through doors to other dimensions. Some of these doors lead to gloomy, lifeless places, without sound and movement, others - to the past or future of our world.

If such holes in time and space actually exist, then a person cannot put up with it and just watch how people and objects disappear into them. Let us hope that our knowledge will advance to such an extent that it will be possible to understand the nature of such a phenomenon.

Vessel "Starfish" At the beginning of 1996, Indian newspapers published a message about the appearance in the Indian Ocean of the "Starfish", which disappeared without a trace here about three years ago. In 1992, on October 16, a large ship "Starfish", owned by the Indian fleet, left the port of Bombay for Malaysia. On board were 39 crew members and 10 tourists. The journey passed without incident, but on the fifth day of the journey a storm broke out. Radio communication with the Sea Star was interrupted, but before this happened, an SOS signal was broadcast from her board. The ships that immediately went to the rescue did not find those in distress, the Starfish disappeared from their radar installations. After the storm subsided, five coast guard boats were sent to search for the ship, which methodically combed the water area of the alleged tragedy for three days, but it ended to no avail.

No traces of the catastrophe were found. Since then, all official documents have stated: "Starfish" died, not a single person on board was saved. Three years later, on October 16, 1995, in the same area, out of nowhere, in front of the astonished fishermen from a small boat, a ship appeared. It broadcast: "It's all right!

SOS is cancelled. The storm suddenly subsided." The radio operators who received this message were discouraged - there was no storm and no distress signals in the area. Everything cleared up after representatives of the coast guard boarded an unknown vessel.

It turned out to be the missing Starfish. Her crew and tourists were very excited and rejoiced at the rescue from the hurricane. Coast Guard officials told those aboard the Starfish about the disappearance of their ship three years ago. However, this message was taken as a joke.

"What three years? We broadcast the distress signal two hours ago," the captain was amazed. Then the people, who miraculously got out of the trap, began, excitedly, to tell the military sailors about how their ship resisted the hurricane for more than two hours, and then everything suddenly calmed down. The Starfish was then escorted to Bombay to investigate an incredible incident. The results have not been published yet...

On October 16, 1992, the Indian ship Starfish left Bombay heading for Malaysia. There were 10 tourists and 39 crew members on board.

But no one heard any distress signal, and there were no storms in these places for more than a year!

The astonishment of the Coast Guard knew no bounds when they learned that the mysteriously materialized ship was the missing Starfish. On board, the passengers held a celebration in honor of their salvation. At first, they did not believe that their ship had been officially declared dead for three years.

Apparently, it was at this moment that a fantastic time shift took place.

According to the calculations of the missing people, only two, maximum three hours passed.

Then they again found themselves in the same place where they were suddenly overtaken by a storm. One more nuance strikes. If a person believed that he wandered for an hour, then he was found after a year, and when the disappeared person had two hours at his disposal, he was announced in real life after two years.
