No. It doesn't matter why it might have happened. It would generate some serious news if a person went missing (with other people present) regardless of how it happened. Families and friends and cops and employers don't simply shrug it off as curious. There would be a manhunt.

You mean a search. A "manhunt" is the term generally associated with looking for a criminal. But this case sounds very like "the man who walked around the horses".

Under the circumstances described, it might become a strong suspicion of the police that the disappearance was planned. So: APBs, BOLOs, etc. Yeah, a manhunt.
But we're digressing.

....he reports that a man named Williamson was seen crossing a field and he suddenly blinked out of existence. There was not a sound, explosion, flash of light or anything and there was nothing he could have went behind. He vanished in plain sight.

In plain sight of whom?

How many people witnessed this vanishing in plain sight? Who investigated it?

We need far more information even to start on this.

Maybe not, but do you think anything's going on here since thousands of people are reporting the same thing?

The people who post these stories seem to go out of their way to debunk any rational explanation - for example, the person who vanished was walking 3 feet in front of them, in a field, with no trees or bushes that could hide the person from view, and they were walking with a friend when the guy just blinked out of existence right in front of their eyes in plain sight. They never report any sound, flash of light or explosion - nothing around the person who vanished was affected; it was as if someone hit the delete button on the person.

The top post currently on /r/glitch_in_the_matrix is the same thing, but with a group of people suddenly ceasing to exist at once.

Ask yourself: if there were 'thousands' of people experiencing this in front of witnesses [who are reputable] why are the only places you can hear about it UTube or Reddit? Wouldn't you expect there to be more mainstream discussion? I mean, how many people have cellphones w/ cameras these days?

Welcome back Gaiagirl95/Frank Baker, Oddball, etc etc etc. Not.

Got any more exploding thymus gland stories? http://www.sciforums.com/threads/co...adly-than-many-may-think.142128/#post-3209069

Or spontaneous combustion, maybe? http://www.sciforums.com/threads/is-it-possible-for-a-humans-metabolism-to-set-them-on-fire.160378/

Or do we just wait for you to be banned again?

The infamous case of a man named 'Orion Williamson'

Anyone know about this case or what became of it? It was covered by a man named Ambrose Bierce in a series of newspaper snippets called ''can such things be?'' and in that is the story entitled ''the difficulty of crossing a field'', where he reports that a man named Williamson was seen crossing a field and he suddenly blinked out of existence. There was not a sound, explosion, flash of light or anything and there was nothing he could have went behind. He vanished in plain sight.

I'm curious why this isn't the top disappearance case, since this one pretty much violates the fundamental laws of physics.

As far as I know this case hasn't been solved and remains a mystery. There are other cases that are nearly identical, such as the case of David Lang. These cases are pretty well documented and multiple sources have mentioned them.

Yeah, didn't you regale us once, under another name of course, with the similar tale of a man called Kenny Veach ?

As for "David Lang", this report dates from the 1880s (yes, really) and appears to have been a hoax: http://hoaxes.org/archive/permalink/the_disappearance_of_david_lang/

That's great. But if you believe with all your heart and all your soul that you will grow your leg back, and are firm in your belief that God will make that happen - it still won't.

Belief is great, and it can help people stay sane and grounded (and that's no small thing.) As long as you realize it's not reality.

Do you know who Ambrose Bierce was?

He was a short story writer and journalist. (Wikipedia puts them in that order.) Maybe he blurred the line between reality and fiction once in a while.

The first question you should ask is, "Did it actually happen?"

No, no, no. The first question to ask is "Did anybody see the flying saucer that snatched him up."

Please supply the formulae which indicate the laws which show things cannot just vanish.

That's actually quite simple. The laws are known as "conservation laws", as in: conservation of energy, conservation of lepton number, etc. The associated formulae are also quite trivial:
Define $$E$$ as the total energy contained within a closed system. Then:
$$E(t_1)=E(t_2)$$, where $$t_1$$ and $$t_2$$ are two arbitrary moments in time.
And the same for lepton number, etc.

Done!
