Theories: Flying saucer fans speculate that cones of metal were
secretly brought here and buried in our earth as guidance systems for their spacecraft. Other theories about what causes the Mystery Spot include carbon dioxide seeping out of the earth, the "highest dielectric biocosmic radiation" known
anywhere in the world, and radiesthesia... whatever the cause is, it remains a mystery.
