This 40-min lecture was a continuation of Secrets of the Sea. Here are some quick facts:
- Reports of lights were actually meteor showers
- Reports of planes burning fuel too quickly can be explained by hi-speed jetstream winds
- Jetstream winds were used in WWII by the Japanese to speed up bomb delivery
- QE2 went on emergency power as it disappeared from radar for a short while
- The Gulf Stream has 50x the flow of all Earth's rivers combined
- Methane hydrate (burning ice) is half ice & half gas, is a form of natural energy and also decreases water's density by 20-30%, taking away its buoyancy
- Other "triangles" are located in the Great Lakes & Devil's Sea (Kuroshio Current)
- Not all incidents can be 100% dispelled
- Oceanography is considered to be in its infancy
