Well, my goodness!
Goodness Gracious!
Well, my goodness!
Imagine the breathless prose that the writer would use to describe the even greater current that flows from the power company's lines into the circuit breaker box in your house...

We figured out how to create hugh balls of fire in the early 50s.
we bought weather baloons at the war surplus store, filled them with hydrogen mixed with air, put a long fuse on them and let them go at dusk.
When they went off they created a hugh ball of fire and managed to break a few windows.
Real ball lighting can last far longer than these scientists report. My mother tells of a ball of lightning that hit her school when she was a child. It melted a six inch diameter hold in a glass window into her classroom, dropped to the floor and rolled through the classroom, crackling and buzzing, scorching the hardwood floor, out into the hall and hit a radiator, and disappated in a bang.
I saw ball lightening once. It seemed to skip over the ground at a leisurely pace and lasted for maybe 2 seconds. It seemed bigger than 40 cm across (about 16"). I would have guessed maybe 2-3 feet. It was yellow and blue. It was very strange.
They are WAY behind the curve here. Dr Chukanov in Sandy Utah has long since mastered ball lightning and gets over unity power from it. Been there, seen the demonstration. He says he has to be VERY careful, too much output and Sandy Utah becomes a BIG crater. Why don't you see it on the shelf? Would you leave a loaded gun in a nursery for children to play with? This world of infants isn't ready for TOO MUCH energy, esp in the hands of crazy terrorists...
