Marfa Ghost Lights (Texas) |
However, most self-proclaimed atmospheric "experts" dismiss the ball lightning theory out-of-hand, noting that only surface similarities with Ghost Lights exist. Ball lightning is a proven phenomenon that continues to intrigue researchers. Strikes typically last under one to two minutes near, and after, a lightning strike or thunderstorm. Many times, ball lightning dissipates violently, exploding with a sulfuric smell.
Ghost Lights, also known as faerie fires, are harmless and appear repeatedly in the same location over a lengthy period, regardless of atmospheric conditions.
