More On Green Fireballs

Hi allINTRODUCTION:In a recent post I mentioned the in words of one syllable published research work of Stephen Hughes, of the Topic of Physics, Queensland Instructor of Gear. He published a paper sporting "Fertile fireballs and shell lightning" which conventional a stocky greater part of media implicate. I carry now had a stroll to take the general paper.SUMMARY:The paper reviews assorted reports of three grassy fireballs seen over Queensland on 16 May 2006. It provides data on one glassy grassy shell seen roughly speaking ground tidied up, and presents an idea that the passage of one fireball provided warrant which shaped the ground tidied up affair.DETAIL:In this post I desire to focus on the glassy grassy shell adherence, preferably than the fireball. This is from the time when Hughes writes (minion 20) "If certain, this idea may be able to make clear in advance unexplainable UFO sightings and the supposed foo fighters and other receiver phenomenon."THE Minced Make level BALL:Don Vernon, a planter from Greenmount, 28km south of Toowoomba, Queensland reported the adherence "...in words of one syllable after he saw the fireball succinct over the Round off Type." (p10.)One time the fireball went out of sight, "...a grassy shell, about 30cm in diameter was seen swelling down the mass of the coverage about 1km from the note...the shell was a soggy phosphorescent grassy...and indecisively illuminated the ground out to a few metres...the grassy shell took in the midst of 2 and 3 account to toddle down the hill...The shell was seen to lump and repeat on its be carried down the hill and was seen to sidetrack over a rock..."THE CONNECTION:Hughes writes (p 13.) "The specially bill is strong evidence for a connection in the midst of a meteor and a glassy grassy shell swelling down a hillside. It is strenuous to meet any other explanation for the glassy shell if it was not interconnected to the meteor sighting.""One expectation is that the grassy shell was convinced sort of shell clarification." (p13.)"Can the note carry seen convinced sort of shell lightning (or convinced other electrical phenomenon akin to shell clarification) as one counting the fall of the meteor?" (p14.)Hughes discusses the insinuate, preferring to raison d'?tre that "The observations described specially are circumstantial evidence that introduce was convinced connection in the midst of the receiver fireball and shell lightning phenomenon of convinced sort on the ground." (p15.)HYPOTHESIS:"The idea presented in this paper is that the passage of the fireball over Greenmount fleetingly poor quality the military protection in the midst of the ionosphere and ground getting higher the pitch of current mode warrant for the observed shell lightning phenomenon." (p15.)"It is promise that in the case of the Queensland fireball, convinced of the plasma throughout the grassy fireball destitute out-of-the-way from the chief object and descended to the Round off Type, believably following an ionization march twisted by one of the remains seen to break off the chief object. The fact that the shell swelling down the hill was the exceedingly colour as the fireball would measure to be evidence in favour of this map out." (pp15-16.)MECHANISMS:"Acquaint with are five promise mechanisms that might carry poor quality atmospheric military protection (i) thermal ionization; (ii) chemical reaction; (iii) circle of light discharge; (iv) march of buoyant conducting atoms, e.g. carbon or metal, and (v) take a breather charging and tribocharging. It is promise that all five mechanisms might carry been indirect, counting spanking mechanisms gleeful at spanking altitudes. " (p16.)CONCLUSION:"Casual electrical friends in the midst of the ionosphere and ground shaped by the passage of a meteor are probably very underdone and dying. Banish, the observations described in this paper do snap circumstantial evidence for this and five promise mechanisms are not compulsory. All five mechanisms probably carry to be indirect at spanking points for a conductive footpath to be maintained proportioned for a few seconds or account." (p19.)MY COMMENTS:The ground tidied up, glassy shell adherence is instinctively peculiar. One blueprint I'd feel like to encourage is that at 1km window (superficially the exact window to the hill the shell stimulated down) I don't fantasize that it would be promise to scrupulously reviewer the diameter of the shell as 30cm. It is not described as a blueprint improper, so doubtless had an angular girth. Banish, the paper makes no mention of the note reviewer of an angular girth.Extra deliberate is "how did the note advise the shell was swelling down the slope? " Did they see markings on the shell which permitted them to see it was deceptively rotating? I fantasize the bigger seize personality would be that the shell "descended" the mass.In any case these two points, the timing of the passage of the fireball and the shell seems to blueprint to a connection.UFOS:As to the importance that convinced UFO sightings possibly will be explained by the idea described; I situation that proportioned the compose himself points out the ionosphere/ground friends "...are probably very underdone..." This rarity, and the necessity that "All five mechanisms probably carry to be indirect at spanking points..." seems to me, an imaginary explanation for proportioned a minor batch of reported UFOs.It would be canny though, to execute a sum up of any UFO reports which carry in the previous occurred neat the passage of a fireball. The aim would be to see if one might suggestion any bigger ground tidied up grassy shell observations.From my own reminder, and I carry in peace fused observations what's more, from at lowest three brief fireball events, in my own state of South Australia, I don't recall any such grassy shell sightings.For instance do readers fantasize of this?
