Had a nice conversation with two gentleman over the weekend. One of the questions they asked me were my thoughts on Ball lightning. Of course I have never read any information that categorically defines what it is, it leaves the door open for discussion.
My thoughts are that in the world as we know it, there are physical manifestations of principles that occur naturally. For example - lightning. Lightning is the physical manifestation of electricity in short.
The magnetosphere that surrounds the earth is naturally occurring as well.
Ball Lightning? Could it be a physical manifestation of the aether?
Just a thought.

The thing about Inner Circles is that they are like Boxes - difficult to think outside of them.

That's an interesting thought. I've never seen ball lightning, although I've heard of it. I remember seeing sheet lightning during a crazy storm in central TX. It light up the night sky like daylight. Made driving quite an experience.

Sheet lightning - I would have enjoyed seeing that.

No, I believe sheet lightning was mentioned.

Photo from Scott A. Mandia, Assoc. Professor - Physical Sciences
Sheet lightning occurs when the actual bolt or flash of lightning is hidden behind the clouds. When sheet lightning occurs the entire sky flashes a glowing white color.

That's pretty much how the sky over Texas looked back in 1988.

I guess so. As to an example, it is just a topic to discuss if anyone wishes to. However, you prove my point and that is that you are here to criticize.
How is that working out for you? Apparently, not too good.

You had made the claim that you had started some valid scientific discussions. This was the only one that I could find. I think that I have proven my point that your use of Dads name on this website is just a sham.
