The methane theory doesn't explain nearly the number of disappearances. Plus, it fails to account for aircraft losses in generaly. Sure, methane (or some suggest hydrogen) in the water could in theory change its displacement and cause a ship to just drop like a rock, but then - where is the remnants of the ship itself? Remember that the atlantic is pretty wired for sound nowadays, and most ships that have gone missing - have never had any parts found. Then you have the instances where the boat is fine, but all the people on it are mysteriously missing. In fact, in at least one instance this happened TWICE on the same boat - it was found drifting - a prize crew put aboard, and then they all disappeared too.

The only way methane could explain the plane losses is if a plane flew through a "concentrated pocket" of methane - and ignited it. That would cause an explosion granted - but then - why are these never before actually found methane pockets limited to one are? Also, how do they account for things such as aircraft found "parked" upright, underwater, with no physical damage, doors locked? How does Methane account for Sting 27, or AB524.

The key here is you have explainable occurances - and then you have the ones that defy all logic as we know it - that seem to happen specifically in certain areas - like the "triangle". When you combine the fact that its not one type of vehicle - but both aircraft AND boats (of ALL sizes) - something big is going on - and if it were purely environmental then it should have been identified by now.
