New clue to 'Earth Lights'

Post by Grahame »

From the BBC:
BBC News wrote:Mysterious lightning flashes that appear to predict earthquakes could be sparked by movements in the ground below, US scientists say.

Unidentified glowing objects were spotted moments before major quakes in China and Italy recently.

These flickers could be triggered by shifting soil layers which generate huge electrical charge, say scientists.

Using a tub of plain kitchen flour, they discovered an entirely new physical phenomenon.
Full story HERE.

Right, I'm off to see if I can dowse fault lines in a tub of flour... :lol: :lol:
