In Finland this phenomenon has stuidied, and some scientists says, a lightning ball could in fact be burning flint. Anyway, itīs very difficult to study this phenomenon, but it should; - fly free in the air - move slowly and stay at least several seconds, maximum up to minutes - size from couple of cm:s to couple of meters - can explose After / during ball lightnings has been found at least vaporised metals and carbon. So if the theory about the burning flint happens to be true, in Elma-case this makes sense to me. First the free flight in the air, the explosion when grounded, and the result is these X-files fragments. But as Adam said, it might be worthless to speculate before have some more from the labs. take care, pekka Mark Jackson wrote: > Dear List, > > > > I personally witnessed ball lightning in the AZ desert only 6 months > ago and it was probably the most intense and dramatic event I've ever > witnessed.
