From the Sky?

There are at present only two men in the world that claim they can actually create ball lightning in the lab, so to speak. Robert Golka can and has, created balls of electricity.

There are many reports of old submarine engineers who told of how they would sometimes see glowing balls of light hovering over the vast stores of batteries they had.

By using just 28 of these submarine batteries, Robert Golka creates small balls of electricity. The spheres emit from a moving metal arm, positively charged, rubbing past a negatively charged strip of metal standing out of a shallow tank of water to hold the globes in there place. This is basically how lightning bolts are created, by putting large amounts of pressure on conflictingly charged ice particles.

Unsurprisingly the earth lights phenomenon, claimed to precede earthquakes and other seismic activity, seem to bare a striking similarity to our ball lightning phenomena. Earth-lights just as ball lightning are described as balls of light. However they do not seem to be related to electrical storms but rather earth crust movement and the energy created by the tectonic stress of two plates moving on the fault-lines. This has become known as Tectonic Strain theory.

The earth lights theory of tectonic strain, is usually related to the majority of today’s UFO sightings however Paul Devereux thinks that this could also be related to what he referred to as “strange lightning”. He and Andrew York studied a large amount of material concerning “meteorological Anomalies” of all kinds. They found that all, most often occurred around areas with fault-lines.

Paul Devereux believes that there is some form of both atmospheric and seismic chain reaction which creates many of the unexplained sightings in or from the sky.

So may be as Devereux suggests earth lights and ball lightning are interchangeable but react differently in different situations according to the different electrical landscapes of cities and the countryside. Maybe this taken into consideration with weather and seismic activity could dictate how we perceive the lights?

Whatever the truth of these light experiences, whether they are simply afterglow’s on the retina, or hallucinations, misinterpretations, alien ships the list goes on, we are only just beginning to understand these experiences.
