No, actually its ball lightning.
St. Elmo’s fire is a bright blue or violet glow, appearing like fire in some circumstances, from tall, sharply pointed structures such as masts, spires, and chimneys, and on aircraft wings or nose cones. St. Elmo’s fire can also appear on leaves and grass, and even at the tips of cattle horns. Often accompanying the glow is a distinct hissing or buzzing sound. It is sometimes confused with ball lightning.
I call bullshit : that’s An alien from way up younder if I ever did sees one and don’t you forget it …..Mr library.
Actually I had a co-worker whose house when he was a kid, was plagued by ball lightning. He said it would come out of the electrical outlets, fly around the kitchen, and blow holes in the countertops, etc. while trying to leave the house. He definitely was not a bullshitter, and his accounts are quite similar to those of others.
Although I would not be surprised if this one was an alien. Just trying to clear up the St. Elmo’s fire claim. St. Elmo’s typically is not mobile, while ball lightning is.
Possibly the most (in)famous case of ball lightning was the stain on that White House intern’s blue dress.
This was the first time I had ever seen anything like that. Never hear of Ball lighting until today. I’m at the terminal in Joplin Mo right now and I have showed this to a couple of other truckers who have never seen St Elmo’s fire or Ball lighting. Aliens of Ghosts was their first guesses. Damn ,58 years old and still learning new things.I guess there is hope. Thanks .
I had a cousin who told us a ball lightening came through her basement screen door during a bad thunderstorm, bounced around the basement, put a burn mark on the sofa, and bounced back out.
Sounds like an unwanted drunk relative at the Christmas party.
Jacobs Ladder is interesting, too.
Are you referring to crespuscular sun rays, or the cool electrical device made of two long vertical rods that separate more as they ascend, and that an arc of electricity can travel up?
I always wondered what Jacob’s ladder was.
The latter, was that ladder of which I was referring to.
To see it in action is wild.
Like something out of Dr. Frahnkunsteen’s labooratory.
Alive…alive!
