- An interesting explanation for some UFO sightings, particularly "close
- encounters" was the discovery of electrical fields/plasma emitted by rocks
- under stress. It turns out a great number of sightings, and prior to the UFO
- age, a lot of relgious miracle "sightings" occurred just before earthquakes.
- The famous apparition of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes (?) was supposedly just
- a few days before an earthquake. The theory is that massive quantities of
- this released electricity/plasma forma ball-lightning kind of phenomena,
- which is just a light when seen form the distance, but when viewed up close
- intereferes with the brain sufficiently to prudce hallucinations of whatever
- the observer was thinking about - hence it used to be religious and is now
- "alien".
-
- Obviously this doesn't fit ALL observations, but it sure demonstrates that
- nature has lots of suprises left. We don't know it all.....
