the point is that these are not individual particles floating round in the air, which is what the original point you were making seemed to be about.
1. Lightning strikes the earth...
2. Hot channel is formed in soil (Sand Carbon etc.)
3. High temperature and High pressure mixture
4. Chemical reaction
5. Gas excapes, expands, cools down...
6. Silicon condenses into nano-particle filaments
7. Escaping gas forms Light vortex-ball...Ball is filled with Co2 gas
Now, a Ukrainian scientist claims to have solved the mystery of ball lightning—it is, he said, an aerosol of nanoscale batteries short-circuited by surface discharge to spontaneously generate mega-amperes of current.Meshcheryakov claimed that ball lightning consists of a cloud of thousands of such composite particles, ranging in from 5 to 100 nanometers in diameter. Each particle spontaneously forms a nano-battery, which is then short-circuited by surface discharge.
So one thing that I have to say, is that what are the chances that this type of ignition, could be the catalyst for something like a world-wide plasma burst in the atmosphere?
According to von Braun, space based weapons, later known as the “Star Wars” program, were to be publicly promoted as our space “shield” against the evil Russians.
Then they would be promoted as our defense against terrorists from Third World countries (‘rogue’ nations or ‘nations of concern’).
Then their necessity would be justified as protection against asteroids and meteors, and the “last card,” the final justification according to von Braun, would be their installation in orbit against an extraterrestrial threat from outer space.
