   Concur.
   Also, might Try library for copy of:
      Ball Lighting and Bead Lightning (or close to that)
      By Dr Dale Barry
   A tad dated (1970s?) but quite serious, professional work.
   (I see one copy, used, for $60.  My copy, used, cost less,
    but i got lucky & it was years ago.)

   (It was not until the 1830s that 'meteorites' were accepted as real:
      SOMEtimes it is possible to be over skeptical.)

    If ANYone knows of a reasonably serios forum for BL news, I'd appreciate
    hearing about it.
