For any of you who watch Maximum Exposure (max-x), this week they
played "Earth, the Most Dangerous Planet in the World". they played a
small section on lightning, tapes of lightning strikes. there was an
electrical storm somewhere and a guy went out with a camcorder when a
lightning bolt struck above his head on the gutter of his roof. First
you see the trees in front of him light up like it's day time, then the
guy starts screaming and the camera shakes a bit, then you see this
soft white ball spiral away from him and then vanish without a sound.
I'm not an expert on ball lightning and it's one of my more vague areas
of science, so correct me if I'm wrong. I have the show on my DVR and
hope to post the clip on my website this weekend. Here's the url to my
site, http://www.geocities.com/ngdbud/, It's a brand new baby and so
far just a picture page. I GURANTEE IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD!!!! I
have told some people on the Tesla List (www.pupman.com) that I would
post the clip from Mind Freak of Criss Angel getting zapped by a tesla
coil. This clip takes priority and due to Yahoo's incredibly small
storage space I may not have enough room to post the ball lightning
clip.
While i'm on the topic, another clip from the show had a lightning bolt
strike a wet soccer field knocking something like 5 players down and a
few sent the hospital in ambulances. Is this just a clip of under payed
soccer stars sucking up to the camera? It seems like the field,
especially being wet, would be incredibly conductive, but not
latteraly. Besides, Why would the electricity bother to run through a
human bady only to go back to it's startting point, the ground? Seems
pretty ify to me.
