Buried 'Aliens' Are Really Tree Trunks

Where are agents Muldor and Sculley when we really need then?

Well, it appears there is some "true" reason for the water going missing...

Missing Chilean Lake Blamed on Global Warming

Oh, yes! Of course! Why didn't I think of that! Global warming... the lake disappearing has nothing to do with the fact that geologically speaking, this is the exact same phenomena as what happened with ancient Lake Bonneville, but on a much smaller scale... yes, global warming is the cause for breaching of a unstable, relatively flimsy earthen dam made of a glacial moraine and/or ice (not the fact water under pressure acts essentially like a high power laser drill on ice when it finds a crack in an ice dam)...

Bring on the duct tape now so I can find all the pieces when my head explodes and I need to go to the ER to get it sewn back together...

For those of you out west who could use a more contemporary example of what happened, think the failure of the Quail Creek Resevior Dike northeast of St. George a couple decades ago. The water found formations containing high percentages of gypsum below the dike and dissolved it, causing the dike to fail... Geology professors from BYU tried to warn the engineers when the dike was being built, but they didn't listen. And, I guess since then, the State of Utah rebuilt the dike with some "modifications". Problem is, because of the geology of where the reservior is, the dikes will fail again, and again, and again. You can't put the equivalent of 400" of rain per annum on a geology that has high gypsum content and use to maybe 2 - 6" per annum and not have the gypsum dissolve. That is simple chemistry. And, you can't put water behind an ice dam and expect the dam to hold inperpetuity.
