Abstract: Abstract On assumption that a nature of Ball Lightning (BL) is optical one where no plasma is required and BL is a bubble of self-confined light, we show that optically induced forces that are negligibly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijleo.2020.165374
Abstract: Abstract Earlier in numerous publications, we showed that ball lightning is mainly an optical phenomenon. This is a symbiosis of two elements: light and air. Intense light circulates in a thin spherical layer of highly… read more here.
