Is it possible? Perhaps these are dumbquestions, but I am now wondering if: 1 - Were any fires reported at the time of the Sikhote-Alin fall? 2 - Is it possible for a Superbolide to create enough static electric energy coming through the atmosphere to cause lightning strikes that could in and of themselves start a fire? Lightning can strike many miles away from a thunderstorm, so I would think it a possibility if Superbolides could generate a static charge. Thanks, and I look forward to some answers.
