Actually I was watching a show on disc channel (I think) last night that was about strange lights at night that appeared out of nowhere in the mountains and in a dessert. There were many theories to these but one of them were that the granite was giving of electrical emission in the form off a plasma type ball or bubble that would float and sometimes move around, this was usually just before an earthquake of great to moderate magnatude was taken place sowewhere in the world, sometimes far away. The granite would compress causing electricity and than would find it's way to the surface through a fissure and burp out a bubble of plasma, they duplicated it in a lab atmosphere but could not make it last more than a blink of an eye.
One study of the phenomenon was in NC mountains where the folklore has it as spirits of native americans had a fierce and bloody battle in that area 3-400 years ago and legend has it that the strange lights seen by many are from spirits trapped and reliveng the battle. Very interesting, did anyone else happen to see this show? How strange that the next day this post is here.
