- I am interested in references, current and past, regarding experiments and
- theory regarding lightning, specifically ball lightning. I have heard there is
- some work going on in Japan with artificial ball lightning generation attempts,
- but have no information.
-
- The literature on these topics is somehwat sparse, no doubt a result of the
- rarity of the natural phenomena, and the inability or great difficulty of
- artificial generation.
-
- Any comments/reference recommendations would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
