From time immemorial, people have met or sighted strange luminous things, somewhat round or ball-like, which they called ghosts or spirits [whence "sprites"], which moved over the ground or along the rails of railroads [metallic tracks! -- which invite subtle speculations]. Some of these luminous "balls" move across the air-space just as darting lightnings do, wherefore they have been called "ball lightnings". Reportedly, Columbus observed some of them arising from the Caribbean sea toward the sky. Lately we have been informed that the 12thcentury Benedictine monk Gervase of Canterbury reported in his Chronicles the [1195] descent from heaven of a ball lighting unto the Thames River -- a sign which he does not explain any further, but obviously conceived it in the ancient way (when Zeus emitted hislightings from dark clouds. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gervase |

And to where this link leads? In my case it is about some persons named Gervase. Who are those Gervases??

Continuing in a moment I see. Thanks. The link directed to just a list of names, that's why I was confused a little. I've heard of such a story from one of encyclopedia - I mean about that lightening balls. Of course some superstition believers might confused those stuff with ufo or kinda. I remember when I was a kid some grown-ups assured me such the orange rotating rounds exist. And if a person had forgotten to close a window leaf, that scare round could have flew into the window and burn everyting up. I don't know why, but people all over the world like to invent fairy tales. Either it is some Jungean the social unconsciousness, or just an interest to tell the tales? Who knows? All I can say that those tales come from illusions and the ideas of forms are illusions. Somehow people are needed in to invernt the illusions. |

I am back, after a very long moment. I wrote a concluding message and I lost it,So, briefly: Before reading that magazine story about strange lights, I saw a TV program about two Americqn scientists experimenting with quartz crystals. They subjected crystals to [meadured] mechanical pressure and the analysed light tracks on a photographic plate: There were long straight streaks and spirals , that is, winding streaks. All of them were called PIEZO-ELECTRIC LIGHTS (due to compression rather than combustion). I asked myself, What would happen if there were massive crystals? There would result massive spirals or balls of light (like balls of yarn); if quartz containing tectonic plates collide, balls of light would arise from the earth or the ocean floor. I wrote and distributed a leaflet after the British Petroleum rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, and (in vain) I called for an international Agency to correlate seismographic records and sightings of piezo-lights [ball-lightnings]...Anyway, that's my explanation of the strange lights from... Hades.

Even though the experimenters spoke of "lights", for they had designed the experiment to "catch" lights, for some reasons I began to think that what occurred was an electric phenomenon, with light being a side effect. Similarly, Franklin's kite experiment showed the electric nature of lightnings. In our case, for me, the compressed crystals released rays or radiations of electrons, similar to brain Beta Rays. I wished their experiment had included some voltmeter or amperemeter as well as some sensor to detect sounds (analogous to small thunders). About light and electron radiations, I just read remarks in
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_light_sources
I figured out, too, that some accidental "ball lightning" from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico encountered methane fumes at the BP Rig and caused the explosition that killed 11 people and, because of the oil spill, ruined the environment.
