I'm wondering if you've ever read 'The Complete Works of Charles Fort'? It's a collection of some of the strangest stories and events ever recorded, and a fascinating compilation of high strangeness and factual oddities. The records of 'spontaneous human combustion' gave me nightmares for quite some time!
originally posted by: putnam6The stories about spontaneous combustion are always intriguing, how intense the burned areas seem? and right next to them the area isn't even scorched?

With that said, I too am fascinated with this phenomena. The heat so intense to burn away an individual yet leave parts of a chair or even some body parts and clothing/apparel untouched. The thumbnail pic goes to my ATS picture gallery where I have two examples of such.
WARNING, may be too graphic for some (and especially children ...)

Even the most accurate clock in the universe needs to be corrected occasionally or it's just an urban legend. I do like a good time-shift story though, some are far less believable yet entertaining to be sure.

At a minimum, the plane would be 2.5 degrees of rotation out of position when in reentered normal time.
Time doesn't have a position.

If they are linked, how would they be linked to a position on this planet and not a position in the universe?
Also what is the link to 10 minutes? Minutes are an arbitrary measurement of time based on dividing the rotation of the planet. What exactly, time cracks, time eddies, etc..in the universe would understand 10 minutes to be the distance to travel?

You are saying that one property of the universe, time, for some reason failed for 10 minutes but all the other properties and laws continued to work as normal for the plane in question?

The story is similar to that of Bruce Gernon and the electric fog.

He was flying a small plane with his father on a flight they had taken many times before to look at property they had purchased in the Bahamas and he said they entered some sort of vortex fog tunnel and apparently made it back to his destination an hour earlier then should have been possible.

You are saying that the Earth is not moving on space? The exact spot you are in at this moment is not in that same place you will be in 10 minutes, assuming you don't move form that spot. You are moving with the ground.
