I'm currently writing a paper on the subject, my theory links modern instances of SHC and Animal Mutilation, with ancient accounts of revelation. I appreciate how bizarre such a proposition sounds, but the the evidence is not only substantial, it is extremely enlightening.
I wouldn't read too much into the pig experiment; the problem is not whether flesh will ignite or not, it will, if an accelerant is applied. The persistent enigma presented by all these cases is how the victim was ignited.
The evidence that I have accrued points to the source of ignition being the victims own blood. Somehow it is liberated, either by menstruation, the bursting of varicose veins, or throught the flesh being cut. A rare set of circumstances surrounding these events are critical to the next phase, whereby the the constituant elements of the blood become altered, giving off a highly combustable vapour that can be ignited by any residual flames in the vicinity.
The biochemistry is speculative, but the environmental conditions whereby the constituant elements of blood are altered, is both known, and extremely telling.
Appreciate comments
