Description
of
the
fourth
spontaneous
combustion
by Wang
Weisong,
Secretary of
the Xiangxiang City Xingxing Village Party Branch of
the Communist Party.
The child was
lying on
the
bed naked.
The blanked
and
mattress
were
all
cotton.
After about three minutes a fire ball
(blue)
landed
on
the bottom sheet.
He
slapped
it
with
his
hand,
and
burned
a
blister
on
the
palm
of
his own hand about one centimeter
in
diameter
(provided on 22 April,
1990).
Based
on
the
collateral
evidence
listed
above,
there
were four
incidents of spontaneous combustion.
The first time occurred around 08:10 hours on
15 April
when
the child
screamed
that his
leg
(right
leg)
hurt.
It stopped after two minutes,
and
there was
a hole
in his
pants where
his
leg
had
hurt.
He had
a small
blister
on
his
log there.
Eye
witnesses
were
Long
Guiying
and Peng
Wei z hong
.
The
second
time
occurred
around
08:20
hours,
when
Tang
Jiang
screamed,
and jumped down from the
couch.
He
was
burned
between
his
scrotum and
anus and
his underpants
were scorched and
had
a hold burned
Through them
(same eye
witnesses as
above)
.
At that
time,
Peng
looked
inside
his
clothes
very
carefully
and there was nothing
but sunflower
seeds there,
nothing
that could
burn.
The third
time,
Tang Jiang
had
changed into
a terry
cloth robe and
cotton
pants and was
lying on
his bed
for about five minutes when his left
leg caught fire,
burning
a hole
in his cotton
pants.
Eye
witnesses were
Long
Guiying
and
Tang
Jiang's
mother ,
Xiao
Yu 1 in
and
a
number of
neighbors)
.
The fourth time,
after
he had
been brought
home from
the hospital,
all
electrical
appliances,
metal
objects
and
electric
blankets were
removed from the room at the orders of
the doctor .
Tang
Jiang
lay naked
on
the
bed
on
an
all
cotton
sheet and with
a cotton blanket.
After
several minutes he caught fire again
(about 10:40 hours).
A
ball
of
blue
fire
fell
down
from
his
left
leg
and
burned
the mattress cover and
padding,
and flames erupted
all
over his body
like sparks,

Those who tried
to put out the flames
burned their hands.

CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS
(1).
Tests:
His temperature was 37. B
C,
his pulse rate was lOO and
his respiration
rate was 20 times per minute.
His
growth was
normal,
he
was well
nourished,
there was no abnormalities
in his heart or
lungs,
his
liver and spleen were not
felt,
there were no abnormal i ties
of
the spinal
column or
of any
of
the
four
limbs.
Burns:
The right forearm,
right
thigh had second degree burns
in three places,
the right
thigh had
third
degree burns
on one
place
(see
illustration
inside cover.
Translator's
note:
not available).
Between
the
scrotum
and
the
anus
and
on
the
scrotum there
were second
to third
degree burns.
There
were also six
scattered blisters
(see illustration
inside
cover.
Translator's note:
not available).
The
tips of
the index
and middle fingers of
his right
hand were
burned
and
had
blisters
The surface
of
the
burns were all
round or
oblong,
and
dry on
the surface.
They were swelled
to different
levels,
there was no secretion,
and
the edges were even
and clear,
with no
marked congestion or oedema.
The patient stayed
in
the hospital
for 21 says for observation,
tests
and
treatment.
He
was
completely
healed
when
he
left
the hospital.
Observation during his stay
in
the hospital
indicate that while the degree
of burns on
his right thigh were determined
to be
second degree
based
on
external
observation,
after observing
the scabbing over and scarring,
it
was finally diagnosed as third degree
burns and
deeper
than
judged when
first
entering
the
hospital
.
This type of distribution and degree of
burning
is completely different from burns
generally clinically observed.
A comparison
of
the
characteristics of
this case and those
of qeneral ly
observed
burn cases is provided
in table one.

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
(1)
.
The characteristics of this burn case is different from what
is
normally clinically
seen.
The degree
of
burn was much deeper than
that
judged
by observation when
patient
entered
the
hospital
.
There were
marked dermal
damage,
and
scabbing was
thick and
hard.
When
the scabs
came off,
the scars had not yet diminished or shrunk
after several
months.
It should
not have been possible
to have burns to this degree with people
present who took
immediate measures.
This indicates
that
it
is possible
that there was spontaneous combustion on and below the skin surface.
(2)
.
Upon investigation
there were
no common
combustibles at the
site
(such as matches or fire crackers)
and
the subject
was covered with
were three
layers of
clothing and
blankets,
under
which there occurred
localized ignition and
burning.
This
is indeed very
rare.

EXAMINATION BY FORENSIC EXPERT
Examination
report
was
published
by
the
Hunan
Public
Security
Department
.
The results of this examination were.
(1).
Tang Jiang's
trousers were
made of cotton
fiber,
his thermal
underwear was
made
of
Qinglun
(phonetic)
fiber.
His
two
pairs of
underpants were
cotton
fiber.
There were no traces of any type of oil
or
-N03 or
-CIO:, found
in
the area
of
the burn on his pants.
2.
The thermal
underpants and
outside pants
were sent
off
to
be
examined with
the same
results.
The examination
of
the underpants can
eliminate such things as open
flame,
smoldering
and
potassium hydroxide,
sodium hydroxide,
sulfuric
acid,
nitric
acid,
or hydrochloric acid.
Based
on
the characteristics of
the various
localized scarring,
the burns were
more
severe
under
the
surface
than
on
the
surface
(see photographs
supplied.
Translator's note:
not available),
and
it would
seem that the
ignition began under the surface.
The results
indicate that
the clothing
sent off
for inspection did
not contain any explosives such as nitrates,
any oily combustibles
or any
other hazardous chemical
.
The fire started from the inside and worked
its
way out.
No possibility of external cause of
the burning exists.
According
to
burning
process
observed
by
the eye
witnesses on the
various occasions,
the clinical
observations of
the differences between
these burns and those
ordinarily clinically
seen and
the result
of
the
determination of
the forensic
experts,
we
can
be fairly certain that
it
was spontaneous combustion.

STATIC ELECTRICITY TESTS
We used
a grass ball
to
test, for
any static
electricity reaction at
1'ang Jiang's fingers,
palms of
his hands,
toes,
ball
of
his foot and areas
burned
by spontaneous combustion,
and compared
the results with those of
a
normal
person.
The results:
Tang
Jiang
had
random occurring
attraction on three
occasions
(for about one second each time).
The other children and adults
were all
negative.
The tests were done on the morning of
April.

From table
two we
can see that the current at the right -

Tang Jiang
peaked out at 37 microamps,
80 times higher than that of
the
control group children
and adults.
The potential difference of
both sides
was also much higher than
that of
the control
group.
Later we tested Tang
Jiang on
a number of occasions and never duplicated such
a high degree of
asymmetry.
On
these
occasions,
his
test
values
were
not markedly
different from
normal
children.
This result seems to have
a fairly clear
connection
to spontaneous combustion.
It
is possible that at
the time of
spontaneous
combustion
there
was
an
even more marked increase

Because of
the uniqueness of

Tang Jiang's
family and
the healthy children
in the kindergarten all
had relatively good symmetry
between
the
left
and
right
sides.
The
current value
was generally
below one
microamp.
There were individual
readings over one microamp
(less than
two microamps),
but none comparable
to Tang
Jiang's readings.
The
mean value of
the children was 0.3+0.16,
and none exceeded
two microamps.

From
the
above
table
we
can
see
that four months following
his
spontaneous combustion,
an artificially
applied
magnetic
field
did not
have any
marked effect
on the
current intensity
in Tang Jiang's hands.
This also held true for the control
group.
This indicates that
a magnetic
field applied
by a
magnetic storm
(very slight amplitude magnetic
field)
might not have been
the primary
cause
for
the
change
in
Tang Jiang's
electrical
parameters.
The biological
effects of
high energy particle
flow due to sun spot explosions are not
only
the
effects on
the earth's
magnetic
field,
but the
effect on
the weather and strong ultraviolet
ray
radiation effect are also
important
aspects.
This
type
of

is

According
to an NONA draft
(number 67):
NCNA of 27 April
reports
that at 11:32
in
the morning of
15 April,
Nanjing's
Zijinshan Observatory
was subjected
to a radio storm which was 40 times the magnitude of normal,
(here appeared
a
large solar flare which
lasted
for
167 minutes.
It could
be the
final
strongest
peak
in
solar activity
in this century.
It can
cause damage to
the
earth's
ionosphere,
and
can
cause
polar
lights,
magnetic storms and strong ultraviolet radiation,
having
a major effect
on
the ecological
balance of
the earth.
The Changsha area and Nanjing
are a
certain
distance
apart,
it
is
worth
nothing
whether
or
not
it was
basically the same time as Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS INVESTIGATION
?Between July and August
of
1990,
Tang Jiang's
father sent
letters
saying
he
had
discovered
flashes
of
light on
the floor of
the house.
Rubbing them with the finger can
cause the
tip of
the finger
to become
singed,
and
in which one could form
lines of
light and words.
The project
team was then sent
to the house to
collect samples
from the
room in
the
house that
gave off
light and
from another room that did not
(these were
first wiped dry with a cotton swab and then wiped with
a
wet cotton
ball,
and placed
into
a sealed
bottle).
The team also took samples of
the well
water and city water,
and inguired as to what the
land
had
been used
for
before the
house was
built.
After
the
samples were brought
back,
they
were sent to the
Hunan Workers'
Health Research
Lab to
test
for yellow
phosphorous.
The results of
this test were as follows:
1.
The well
water was
0.13 mg/L,
the city water was 003mg/L.
The
cotton
balls
which
had
wiped
the
fluorescing
floor
areas
was 86.8
micrograms and
the swabs from the areas which had not fluoresced were 8.4
micrograms
.
1 he results demonstrate that
there
was
yellow
phosphorous
on
the
floor of
the Tang
Jiang's house which was greater
than the threshold
for
fluorescence.
The source of
the
yellow phosphorous
could have something
to do
with using
well
water
to scrub the floors.
The site of
the house
was formerly
a paddy field,
and was then used
to grow vegetables.
It was
later used
to build
the house
on.
It
is not on
a slope
(people
in that
area are superstitious about building anything on
a slope).
The floor of
the house is a poured concrete slab,
painted with red 801 and then painted
with 177 paint.
It should
have little
connection with
any phosphorous
content of
the dirt underneath.
CONCLUSION
I.
DETERMINING THE FACTS
Spontaneous
combustion
of
the
human
body
is
a strange phenomenon
which is clinically rarely seen.
In
foreign
countries since
1673 there
have been
more than
200 cases related
in
formal
reports.
In China there
have been similar individual
records^.
However,
we have seen
no research
papers on
this phenomenon.
This
research into a four and half year old
boy
in
Hunan's Xiangxiang
city,
Xingxing
Village spontaneously catching
fire on
four occasions
in
a single afternoon
is
a somatic science research
topic
into the discovery into the human
potential
and
the
mysteries of
a
random occupance.
It
is also
a
topic
into protecting children and man.
Through
on
site
investigations
and
inguiries,
clinical
observation,
experimental
research
and
forensic
analysis,
we
demonstrated
that
spontaneous combustion
is an objective
fact.

II.
CONCERNING THE CAUSES OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Based
on
materials
presently
on
hand,
it
may
related
to three
possible factors.
1.
Within
two
to three days after Tang Jiang entered
the hospital,
he
was
tested
and
found
to
have
body
surface
static
electricity
abnormalities,
magnetic
fields at his hands
(0.
mGS)
,
current on his body
surface
(37 microamps)
and voltage
(55
microvolts),
all
of
which were
clearly
higher
than
ordinary
children
and
results.
However,
in
later
tests,
Tang
Jiang's
electrical
parameters
no
longer
showed
any
abnormalities,
but
were
the
same
as
normal
people.
Therefore,
it
is
hypothesized
that
during
Tang
Jiang's
spontaneous
combustion
his
electrical
parameters
may
have
been
even
higher,
and therefore,
it
is
possible that Tang
Jiang's
spontaneous
combustion
was
related
to his
abnormal
static electricity parameters.
Static electricity
abnormalities are
believed
to
be one of
the major
causes of
forest fires.
Body
surface
static
electricity abnormal i ties
indicate
a
high
degree
of
asymmetry
in
the distribution
of electrical
potential
on Tang Jiang's body.
The intensity of
his biological magnetism
was much
higher than
that of
normal
people.
This indicated
through the
formation of
a relatively high current
in
his
hands.
Through
a skin
temperature test,
we also
discovered similar
phenomena.
The skin
test
difference reflects asymmetry
in
the blood
supply and
heat supply.
The
drop
in
the
blood
Na-K—ATP
enzymes
and
the
Na-CA-ATP
enzymes also
indicates
that
there
had
been
a
relatively
high
energy consumption
process.
At
the
scene
his
entire
body
was seen
to be covered with
sparkling
light,
and the odor of
electrical
sparks
was
present.
This
indicates the nature of electrical discharge ignition.
This all
indicates
that static electricity abnormal ities
in Tang Jiang's body was the primary
cause of
the fire.
2.
Astrological
data proves that the spontaneous combustion on
Tang
Jiang's body and magnetic
solar
storms
occurred
on
the
same morning.
According
to
Chinese Academy
of Sciences
Nanjing Zijinshan Astrological
Observatory
reports,
on
the morning of
15 April,
the solar
magnetic storm
radio current
was 40
times greater than the normal
intensity.
This sort
of solar storm directly and indirectly affects the physical environment on
the
earth
and
man's
activities.
Why
did
Tang
Jiang's spontaneous
combustion not occur before or after,
but just
Qn
the
day of
the solar
magnetic storms.
This
makes
us
think
that
Tang
Jiang's
spontaneous combustion may
be
related
to these magnetic storms.
Articles
on
the
connection between
solar magnetic
storms and spontaneous combustion2 . ^
and Chinese experts
we visited
all
believed
that
sun
spot
explosion
caused
radio particle
flows.
It has already been demonstrated that they can interfere with the
ionosphere and atmosphere around
the earth and affect
the earth's magnetic
field
(magnetic
storms),
having
a major
affect on
life.
The effect of

solar winds on
the earth
is uneven.
It
is
possible that
it was stronger
in
the
area of Tang Jiang's home.
The solar winds could have ionized
the
atmosphere at Tang Jiang's home,
or
the atmosphere
at Tang
Jiang's home
may have
become mixed
with easily
ionized gasses from under the surface
(in November of
1989,
combustible
gasses
coming
out
from underground
causing repeated
fires was
discovered
in
Hunan's Shaodong .
This is an
example of gasses coming up our of
the earth).
In addition,
Tang Jiang's
own body had abnormal
static electricity.
This type of static electricity
and magnetic
fields indicates that
such
abnormal ities
as
a
radio flow
could
be
the
result
of
having undergone solar wind radiation or after
having
been subjected
to envelopment
by
strongly ionized
gasses,
because
of
certain
abnormal i ties
on
Tang
Jiang's
body,
it
caused
abnormal
electrical
abnormalities.
We
have duplicated
an applied
magnetic
field
similar
to
the
intensity
during
a
magnetic
storm,
in
an attempt
to
simulate this phenomenon.
However,
we
could
not
duplicate
the other
effects of
the solar particle flow,
and
the results of
the experiment were
negative.
Tang Jiang's electrical
parameters did not undergo any abnormal
changes
in
an artificial
magnetic
field,
which is consistent with the view
above.
Was
it
the solar
particle flow
and earth's
magnetic storm that
caused Tang
Jiang's spontaneous
combustion?
Because of
they occurred
at
the same time,
it cannot be eliminated as
a possible major factor.
3.
Concerning
inspection of combustible materials,
because there was
the coincidental
appearance of
sparkling
light
in
the Tang
home,
samples
were collected
for laboratory testing and
it was
discovered that
on
the
floor of Tang Jiang's room
lived,
in the water or
a nearby well
and
in
the
city water
to
which
the
house
was
connected
there
contained yellow
phosphorous.
The yellow phosphorous content was highest
on
the floor
in
a
certain area of Tang Jiang's room.
The source of
this yellow phosphorous
is still
not clear.
Was
it due to scrubbing
the floor over a
long period
of
time using
the
well
water
of
the
city
water
so
that
the yellow
phosphorous built
up on
the floor?
This
could possibly
lead
to yellow
phosphorous or its compounds
to be on Tang Jiang's body.
Whether
or not
this was
the material
basis for
localized spontaneous combustion
on Tang
Jiang's body will
have to await continued observation..
In summing up all
the above,
we
can
believe
that
Tang
Jiang did
experience
spontaneous
combustion
and
it
was
not
caused
by
any
conventional
source such as fire crackers,
matches or oil.
Therefore,
we
may conclude that spontaneous combustion does objectively exist.
The fact
that
we
were
only
able
to
detect
abnormal
electrical
and magnetic
parameters
shortly
after
Tang
Jiang's spontaneous combustion indicates
that
the
child's
abnormalities
were
temporary
biological
phenomena.
Furthermore,
the
explosion
of
the sun spots could have been
the cause for
the inducement of Tang Jiang's reaction.
The high yellow
sulphur content
of Tang Jiang's bedroom,
as well
as abnormal yellow sulphur content of
the
nearby well,
indicates the
existence
of
combustible
materials
and
the
possibility that
they
had gotten on Tang Jiang's body.
From the material
presently available,
we can
hypothesize that
the possible
model
of
this
spontaneous combustion
is:
The astrophysical
phenomenon
of
fusion induced

an abnormal
electromagnetic
reaction
in
Tang
Jiang's
body
(no similar
change
occurred
in
his
relatives
or
neighbors)
.
Electromagnetic
abnormalities are often
factors
in
starting
fires
(such
as
lightning
causing
forest
fires).
Furthermore,
there was yellow sulphur
in Tang
Jiang's room which contaminated
his
body
and
got
into
his
skin,
thus
causing
a
strong oxidation process to occur and
leading
to the deep burns
and sparks.
This explains
the
primary
reason
why
the electromagnetic
abnormality occurred
on Tang Jiang's body and not on others
in
the family.
Of
the
connections
between
the
earth's environment and
the human
body,
the
phenomenon
of
electromagnetism
is
one
of
the
most basic.
Comrade
Qian
Xuesen
pointed
out
when
he was talking
of establishing
a
theory of unique phenomena
for
somatic
sciences:
"the
manifestation
of
human
paranormal
abilities
may
actually
be
an
electromagnetic
field
between man
and object,
where man
can
be
subjected
to
the
effects of
electromagnetic
waves
and
electromagnetic
fields
in
the environment”*.
Wang
Xiubi and others demonstrated that
in external
QI
,
there
exists weak
electromagnetic waves
between
ten
and 360
megahertz which
can cause an
increased charge
density
on
the
surface
of
red
blood
cells
and
an
acceleration
in
the electrophoresis
rate.
Dubuluofu
(phonetic)
believes
that the earth's magnetic field has
obvious effects
on
the
human
body?,.
J.
B.
Beal
has
proposed
that during earthquakes,
low amplitude super
low
frequency
(0 to 100 hertz)
earth
magnetic interference
is generated
that
may affect
the brain function.
During wind storms,
a vertical
electrical
field signal
is generated
that
may
cause
a
change
in
the ionization
balance of
the atmosphere,
leading
to different ailments
in those persons
sensitive to the weather?.
C.
Polk
has proposed
that the earth's magnetic
field
is
a gradually changing
field,
and
it has undergone many reversals.
Sunspot activity
is one of
the major factors
in short term changes
in
the
earth's magnetic
field.
During magnetic
storms,
the degree of changes may
be as much as several
hundred gamma
(one gamma equals lO -53 gauss)
and may
last for more than 20 hours
(first rising and then falling).
Furthermore,
this is accompanied
by changes
in
other earth
physics phenomena
such as
atmospheric
temperature
and
pressure,
passage of universal
rays,
earth
electrical
field
(in
a
vertical
direction)
and
atmospheric
resistance,
causing complex
biological
effects*.
In
his book
"The Earth and Static
Electricity"
,
Xu
Haomin
described
the
increase
in
static electricity
during earthquakes and examples of people and animals giving off
light and
becoming
burned®.
In
his book
"Looking for the Causes
of Ground Lights",
he
also
describes
the
phenomenon
of
"ball
lightning"?.
The materials
above
illustrate
that
astrophysical
changes
are
a
primary
cause
of
abnormal electromagnetic
phenomena
in people and objects on
the earth such
as static electricity,
ball
lightning,
electric
fields on
the surface
of
biological entities
and changes
in magnetic
fields as well
as changes
in
the bodies internal
functions.
When
there
are
combustible materials
present,
there
is
a
definite
possibility
of
leading
to spontaneous
combustion.
The views above are consistent with our investigation
of
the
scene
and
the
hypothesis
we
reached after
a series of experiments and
examinations
that
Tang
Jiang's
spontaneous
combustion
was
due
to
a
magnetic storm
causing electromagnetic
anomalies
in
his body causing

III.
THE
IMPORTANCE OF THIS RESEARCH
INTO THE SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
OF THE CHILD
First
is
far safety.
Second
is
to
illustrate that
the causes of
questionable fires may
be due to human abnormal electromagnetic
phenomena.
According
to
what we
presently
know,
we have come up with the following
suggestions for the protection
of Tang Jiang.
1.
Purchase
a precision
universal
electric
meter,
and frequently
check
the electrical
parameters between
his two upper extremities.
If any
abnormalities are found,
immediately
use
warm
water
to
wipe
down
his
entire body
to balance out the electrical charge distribution
and passably
reduce the accumulation of combustible materials.
Furthermore,
he should
check
himself
daily for
a few
days after
this,
until
the readings are
normal
.
He should
not wear
synthetic underwear
to
prevent any static
electricity.
When
there
are marked changes
in
the weather,
he should
be
closely watched.
2.
Prevent the child from coming
in contact with
combustible gasses
or entering
areas where combustibles are piled up.
After he has matured,
he should not work where he has to do this.
3 .
Be on
the watch
for the
appearance of
special
phenomena around
him,
such as ground fluorescence.
4.
We suggest that health and disease prevention departments make a
phosphorous inspection of
the Tang family's home and
the neighborhood,
to
improve the environment and
the condition
of
the drinking water.
