- This is the outlandish explanation considered in
the Andean nation to account for the disappearance of a body of water.
Experts in the field claim that "extraterrestrial" activity has
been detected in the area.
-
- The Chilean government is thoroughly astonished by an
unusual situation in the world which had a powerful impact on public opinion
in Argentina and Chile. For this reason, government authorities requested
the aid of geologists to find out what happened to the lake, located in
the Tempanos Fjord, located 2000 kilometers southeast of Santiago de Chile,
in the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. The lake's disappearance was discovered
on May 27, 2007, but was only made known on Wednesday. Theories are now
circulating everywhere that are unusual, whimsical and not at all serious.
There are even "experts" who believe that the water's disappearance
could have been the result of "UFO suction"
-
- Chilean Ufologist Rodrigo Fuenzalida stated that the
theory that suggests the presence of extraterrestrials at the nameless
lake has grounds. "We have on record that certain UFOs draw water.
There is a case in Lago Colbún that is supported by eyewitness accounts
from Carabineros (state police) and civilians who saw something hover over
the lake and extract water," he noted.
-
- The expert added that "over 60% of all UFO sightings
in Chile occur in this region.
-
- Another theory - perhaps the most respectable - indicates
that a huge crack caused the southern lake to empty its contents in a mater
of water, allowing water to flow "to the center of the Earth",
according to Chilean newspaper Las Ultimas Noticias.

And River

-
- Chilean scientists are astonished after discovering
and ascertaining that an unnamed lake with a surface area of 10 hectares,
located in the southernmost area of Chile, mysteriously dried up in a month.
Instead of water, experts found fragments of the glacier at the bottom
of a dry lakebed criss-crossed by crevasses up 30 meters deep.
-
- "We intend to travel to the site in coming hours
with geologists and glacierologists to determine exactly what occurred.
We are still astonished: the lake dried up at an extraordinary pace,"
said engineer Juan Jose Romero, one of the geologists of the Magallanes
Region.
-
- The lakes disappearance became known on May 27, but was
only reported on Wednesday.
-
- The authorities stated that the enormous lake, with its
ice masses, vanished from one day to another, leaving in its place an enormous,
100-foot deep trench, also with ice masses, but deposited on dry soil,
according to a director of the Corporacion Nacional Forestal (Conaf).
-
- Hypothesis: Forestry authorities further noted that the
lake wasn't all that vanished, but also the mighty river that emptied into
the lake. It is now nothing more than a mere stream. "It can be crossed
on foot," they say. The river was 130 feet wide and some three to
four miles long.
-
- Geologists must determine if the enormous volume of water
filtered through the cracks that appeared in the trench.
-
- Although no surface tests have been performed, geologists
believe that the phenomenon is probably due to some underground plate movement
that resulted in cavities through which all of the lake's water was evacuated.
