Absolutely possible for those disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, at least in tests it showed that it would cause a ship to sink, an aircraft engine to stall out etc. What I can't figure though is the inflatable rafts and lifevests - they would not sink even with massive amounts of methane being released, if they did sink due to the methane bubbling up, when it stopped bubbling they would float to the surface - yet NONE of them were ever found.

You may have it right on Judge Crater - he did have some powerful enemies. I remember seeing that on satellite TV where they found a group of five TBM Avengers (one of the largest single engine bombers of WW2) in the 1990's but it turned out that the ID numbers on the group found were NOT the missing planes! What is even weirder is that those five had all crashed at different times, ending up all in one small area. It kind of suggests that something bad for aircraft is affecting them in that area, which is not an impossibility. There are magnetic oddities/anomalies around the world, for instance, which cause compasses to act strange or point the wrong way etc so I would think it must be possible that some kind of anomaly <which is not necessarily supernatural, it could be totally natural just very odd and/or rare> has a very bad effect on aircraft; perhaps as Kentucky Kache suggested, a place where a lot of frozen methane is present on the sea floor, which gets released due to some minor earthquake activity, bubbles to the surface where it then rises in the atmosphere and the aircraft engine sucks it in and stalls out. In the "wrong" mixture of oxygen and methane it is explosive too so that is a possibilty.
Wasn't there a case of an entire regiment of British or Anzac soldiers that vanished in WW I? I am working from memory so welcome any corrections on this, but <if I recall it right> a whole regiment of soldiers went in to the attack in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey, in full sight of other soldiers and officers not in the actual attack, they advanced into a cloud or fog bank, and 'poof' they were never seen again. Of course this has a 'pat' answer too, that it was probably a gas cloud fired by the Turks and that simply killed them off, or the Turkish machine gunners must have mowed them all down without a single survivor etc yet NONE of their bodies were ever found and the Turks don't have a record of the Brits or Anzacs making the attack on their front.
If even a single case of a disappearance were proven to be crossing into another dimension or alternate universe (which may be the same thing) our whole mystery here would be settled. What about cases of strange appearances? The case of the strange green children who "appeared" in Banjos, Spain are one; Charles Fort (famous for his investigations of such things as rains of frogs etc, for which our term "fortean" falls is named) recorded and investigated some very odd incidents of things just appearing out of the air including coins raining out of the air. I could sure use one of those rains myself, but could it be that these too are due to the alternate universe?
Thank you all for the VERY interesting replies, this thread has been a real pleasure and very thought provoking. I look forward to your responses, and again thank you in advance,

Well... you BOTH may be "talking" about a parellel "universe" or a parellel dimension, which has the "anti" thing... MAYBE the BLACK HOLE, is like a WORM HOLE; sucking light & energy into it... into the NEXT universe/dimension... DUNNO.

I "posit" that "anti-matter" THERE, MAY become MATTER, HERE... DUNNO.
