Hello, all,

the ball lightning could be one explanation. 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
