Duck and cover next time you see the Northern Lights!

nice name

I don't have any links, but I've read about 2-3 years ago how some geophysical phenomenae may have been mistaken for something else entirely...Perhaps such a link is possible.

What I'm referring to is a phenomenon that manifests as something similar to ball lighting seeming to fly along faults & possibly even geo-magnetic lines... Apparently caused by underground movement creating friction-based electrical fields (piezoelectric). I've heard of some cases where observers have mistaken these electrical discharges as UFO's.

CURSES! I searched the member list and did not find the name! I was tired, I'll bow to your seniority and change it....Hmmm is there a ConfederateKid here? or Blazingmusket? (Civil War reenactor, not white supremicist)

The Min Min lights are an example, and I am pretty sure the Marfa lights of Texas are another example. Posted by WilliamOneSac

Havent heard of the min min lights, so cant speak to that. However, the Marfa Lights are likely not related directly to seismic activity, as Marfa Texas is a largely seismically inactive region. Not that we have an explaination for them, but most people lean towards ball lightening.
