Mysterious fireballs ram the Earth
09/27/2004 17:13
A mysterious fire tornado that ripped through the jungles had torn out trees in
some areas, while leaving the vegetation untouched.
At night of 14 September 2004 many people got a chance to witness the fall of a
fire object near the southern Argentinean town of Ushuaia. Further searches in the
region yielded fascinating results: the area of approximately 150 sq meters had
absolutely no trees. At first sight, it appeared as though the trees were chopped
down; however, all the vegetation remained untouched. More so, according to the
Argentinean media, scientists were unable to find any traces of the mysterious fire
object that had "melted down" the woods. The next day, on September 15th, another fire
object was spotted in that same region.
Currently, researchers are trying to determine the nature of such mysterious
phenomenon. It is likely that it has got something to do with the kind of research
work many scientists from all over the world have been preoccupied with for ages. In
particular, Sandia National Laboratories hosted a workshop in August of this year
which was dedicated specifically to such kind of unexplained phenomena involving
descending burning objects.
One Russian scientist, candidate of physic-mathematical sciences Andrei
Ol"khovatov was one of the participants of the workshop.
In his exclusive interview to "PRAVDA.RU", Mr. Ol'khovatov noted that due to the
lack of evidences regarding recent events in Argentina, it is rather difficult to draw
any conclusions at this point. However, if analysis of the eyewitnesses' words will be
confirmed concerning the fact that the fire object had in fact landed in the area with
major tree-anomaly and the date of the anomaly will correspond to that of the fall,
then this occurrence could be classified as something of a mystic origin. In that
case, it will be referred to as a "geophysical meteors."
Scientists have yet been unable to determine physical mechanism of geophysical
meteors. All that is known today is the fact that geophysical meteors somewhat
resemble high-energy ball lightning and has a tendency to remain in certain
geophysical environment.
According to Ol'khovatov, geophysical meteors are far from harmless. In January
of this year, a fire ball has caused severe damage to a house in the Iranian town of
Babol. However, there were plenty of far worse cases. In 1935 for instance, hundreds
of kilometers of jungles have been completely destroyed in South America, in British
Guiana.
