MessageOne of the strangest and least understood weather phenomena. Seemingly a close cousin of earthlights, or earthquake lights, though with some distinctive properties of its own, ball lightning crops up in the most unexpected places. In a letter to the journal Nature physicist Richard Jennison gave this remarkable eyewitness account:
I was seated near the front of the passenger cabin of an all-metal airliner (Eastern Airlines Flight EA 539) on a late night flight from New York to Washington. The aircraft encountered an electrical storm during which it was enveloped in a sudden bright and loud electrical discharge (0005h EST, March 19, 1963). Some seconds after this, a glowing sphere a little more than 20 centimeters in diameter emerged from the pilot's cabin and passed down the aisle of the aircraft approximately 50 centimeters from me, maintaining the same height and course for the whole distance over which it could be observed.
Jennings went on to say that it was blue-white in color, gave off no heat as far as he could tell and glided along at walking pace about two-and-a-half feet from the floor.
