This is slightly less impressive than what I expected.
And a lot more confusing.[/QUOTE]
It clearly emits from that rainbow
And here I always thought ball lightning was a hoax; like god, evolution, the big bang, or entropy. That's right, old time static universe atheists represent.
If it's such a rare occurrence then why have so many people in this thread seen it first-hand?

Chinese people are chinks. People from South East Asia, the Korean Peninsula, and [b]Japan are considered gooks.[/b][/QUOTE][img]https://www.indybay.org/uploads/2005/03/23/post_navy_ww2_smack-japs.jpg2hgqn2.jpg[/img]

One of Ball Lightning's more peculiar properties is its intense shyness in the vicinity of physicists.

japanese people are gooks, nips, or japs.
Or yellow but that applies to all asians basically

not that i'm advocating their usage
While we are on the topic of tintin, do you think the creator of the famous comic might have been inspired by an actual sighting of ball lightning, and feared that if he told the truth he would be discredited, and so chose to draw it into his story?

Make it happen china.[/QUOTE]Actually, I was having a conversation about this not too long ago. Well, something like it. Assuming you could fire an intense laser at something and ionize the air, you could possibly ride an electric current along that. You wouldn't see some flash of lightning or anything, but you could make a sort of "anti-tank taser" provided your target wouldn't immediately flee and take cover. They'd probably suspect something was up when the steel hull of the vehicle would begin to heat up and eventually melt because of the electrical resistance.
Then again, since you're pissing around with that much electric current you might as well just make a small rail gun instead.

Considering how many armor chassis are made of aluminium, they would at least conduct really well, but such a weapon would be way to easy/inexpensive to counter, compared to what a lightning cannon would cost.
Rasengan + Chidori??
