Ventura County hot spot puzzles experts »
Posted By engineer 1 year, 5 months ago in Science & TechnologyA patch of land in Ventura County's section of Los Padres National Forest where the ground recently heated up to 812 degrees continues to puzzle firefighters and geologists after weeks of monitoring.

I agree. If anyone has ever been to Maui and seen Haleakalea crater you will see the vent holes created by a volcano. After all California is on the North American and Pacific plates so makes sense that there could be alot of seismic activity causing this.

This is not well known, but this particular area was the dump site for the remnants of the alien spacecraft that was removed from Roswell, N,M, after the crash. The metallic alloys have long since become innert, however, the biological tissue from the alien cadaveric material continues to react with earth silicas. Instead of phosphates, alien lifeforms discovered to date derive cellular energy from arsenic compounds.

I must take exception to this posting. I was a Vice President with Grumman Aerospace for 5 years, and have been affiliated with the CIA for 44 years, and can assure the readers that the remains of the presumed crashed space ship at Roswell are sequestered at Point Mugu, a super high security facility in California, just south of Los Angeles. This facility is now and has been for decades owned by Grumman, so the hot spot being discussed in this blog cannot be in any way the result of or even influenced by these remains.

After some thought I know what is and how it got started. The last time Obama was in CA he had a real bad case of the runs. So he ran out in to the field and found a crack in the earth. There he coped a squat. Mixed with his hot air and gases. Some of his Muslums budies cought wind of this and ran to the sites. They , think this to be hallowed groung. They all sat there thinking how grand this was,one of them Lit a camel cigerette. and by mistake dropen it into the crack and low and behold it cought Obama`s gas on fire .There you have it all in a nut shell.

I would like to agree with that volcano thoery as well.

However one cannot overlook the mountain we have built to store all of our unuseable nuclear waste from the 80's, all the politics of that aside...we already have twice as much unuasable toxic waste abroad, as this mountain we built can hold... by the way the mountain is not completed.
With the Earth's plates move over the years, how much of that radioactive waste and land fills in general doing?
Shifting, ripping, mixing different chemicals that were deposited in these fills 30, 40, 50 yrs ago.
Even in land fills car batteries, mercury filled thermometers and oil changes from garages in the area, all this buried underground, with all the weather pattern changes,flooding, deforesting through neccesity , arson, or just careless people. We all should be concerned about these hot spots underground, I am sure some geothermal energy satelitte scope can be utilized, as soon as it is available!!! -

We have been receiving an increasing number of reports of Earth Lights recently. The Petaluma UFO report preceded the latest large quake in CA. These anomalous balls of light indicate enormous pressure where plates collide. This is an area, which is geologically active. It is on the Pacific Rim, a network of faults that skirts major continents that abut the Pacific Ocean. This is where the plates collide. It is part of the natural development of our continent. We may be seeing the birth of a new volcano in California where this hotspot has been located. There is a good chance that this is volcanism in its formative stages. Fumaroles, vent holes and other tunnels may be forming, indicating that the earth is releasing pressure building up below the surface. If I were the USGS, I would be all over that area doing measurements and analyzing the data. -

I agree with the volcano theory. After all California is divided by the Norh American and Pacific plates, which cause seismic activity daily. Scientists have been predicting a large earthquake for years why couldn't a volcano strike just as easily. Washington state has one, which by the way has been showing some activity lately as well. If anyone has been to Maui and has visited Haleakala crater you will see vent holes which is what this could possibly be.

I must take some exception to the comments of pjmpmd. I was a Vice President for 5 years with Grumman Areospace, and am now and also have been allied with the CIA since the U-2 days in the early 50's, and can assure the readers that the remains of the supposed crashed space ship at Roswell are all sequestered, as they have been for decades, at Point Mugu - a super high security facitlity just south of Los Angeles, and owned and operated by Grumman. So be assured that the hot spot does NOT have these remains as their origin.

For eons crude oil and water in the ground has provided lubricity for subsurface and platonic movement. Removing these two to satisfy our addiction to hydrocarbon products and escessive water usage is now creating subsurface friction and resulting heat buildup due to the huge reduction of these two natural subsurface lubrication products. We will soon experience wide area catestrophic events as the temperatures increase to the point of causing volcano like eruptions that spread rapidly to other parts of the country. Temperature increases will begin to occur in many other places including the inner city with the earth suddenly spewing hot lava skyward with horrifying results for those living nearby. Amazing what we can imagine in the absence of facts and knowledge.

Cmon guys. This only happens to be on an old oil field? Google: "Fire Flood" This was one of the methods used in oil fields with declining production. These were called secondary recovery methods to re-stimulate oil production. To inject air into the reservoir, ignite it, and drive in more air. The burn front forced residual oil toward ajacent production wells. This, of course, makes the formation quite warm and some of the heat is now surfacing.

I know for a fact that this nothing but a sinister and vicious Pinko-Commie plot. They are trying to get into your mindsand dstroy you from within. Listen to the Owls at night and you can tell that they are desparate for relif from the Commies. They are everwhere. They have even infested my tomato vines. They are barren and will not produce. Also that hot spot is probably caused by Global-warming which is another of their decret plots to destruy us. We must get together and bring lots of ice cubes. Triangles wont work. They must be cubes. Thank yoiu and "Good Nighy!.
