The "swamp fires" and "St. Elm's fires" are well known and distinct, never confused in common descriptions with ball lightnings, which are exactly an electric phenomenon.

No. They are described as electric phenomenon.

Somebody is modelling them, the interior and minor details are visible. https://pikabu.ru/story/nemnogo_saney_vam_v_lentu__ayerosani_rf8__nkl1641_nkl26_135_trubach_9759863

Weather. I don't doubt that the ball lightnings appear in great thunderstoms, I believe I have seen this once. High in the sky there was absolutely enormous thunderstorm, with long horizontal lightnings every second, while below it was just a rain. Every several seconds some lightning was spreading about twenty bright dots, floating aside, and fading away in seconds. If the lightning was "50 cm", the dots were having passed ~"20 cm". But what about the lonely fireballs floating above ground, which unlikely are a subject of meteorology, and well-known from the folklore, and causing recommendations like "during the thunderstorm, keep your flies closed to prevent a ball lightning entering", "if you met a ball lightning, don't try to run away, because the air will pull it to you", and so on.

Can't remember when UFO, ancient contact, or cryptobeast witnesses were positioning their words as a remedy for another one's health for money. A person says that he was watching something. You may listen or ignore. He/she may share his words as a book for money, but again it's not a question of health and life, you buy it or ignore on your wish. The Loch Ness dino. (I'm aware that "loch" = "lake", but in Russian /loh/ is also a low-colloquial word for "a silly, simple, naive, usually rural person", so /loh Ness/ is a commonly understandable joke in Russian for that dino and the tourists paying for it). A lonely big dino unlikely could survive so long in a small lake, surrounded by hungry Scots, so it was always looking like a Scottish countryside way to entertain themselves and cut money from tourists. Unlike UFO (whatever it is), it wasn't being observed for decades in all parts of the world by (millions?) of people. Say, there are "meteors" (what you see in the sky) and "meteorites" (what you can touch and study). UFO are meteors. Denying the UFO is like denying meteors when you don't have a meteorite which has caused it.

Do not negate your doing.

If distribute a tonne of antimatter between a billion of people, evry of them should holding just a milligram of the AM. It can be charged and suspended in electrostatic field, like a magic souvenir. As it will be slowly annihilating from random air molecules, it will be glowing. So, it will be like a worldwide flashmob with a billion of glowing tokens on suits. *** Dan Brown's design:

So, a phenomen which is reported thousands of times by very different people, watching something by groups (not by a loaded lonely stranger), sometimes filmed, is treated as a lie, a fantasy, a mass hallucination, a misinterpretation, a fake, or anything else except existing but unexplained phenomenon, at least deserving efforts to explain. While a floating fireball which like nobody has seen, is considered as a real physical phenomenon, which deserves being studied by thousands of physicists, thinking out tens of theories (instead of real work), like the medieval scholars were calculating angels on the needle point. Such selective blindness looks like nobody cares about the silly nerd toy like fireballs-schmireballs, but the flying things in the sky above are a painful spot causing agressive reaction and attempt to discredit anyone who can start digging deeper. The freedom of speech is such freedom.

Yes, I've read this. But the idea is: "If UFO are a pseudoscience, while many physically existing people tell that they have seen them, why are the ball lightnings considered as a real phenomenon deserving the funded scientific exploration, when they look much less common, and it's even no evidence that they really exist?" Has anyone a credible familiar person who had ever seen a fireball? What's the difference between the UFO and the fireball phenomena that one (often seen) is blamed as a fantasy, while another one (maybe never seen) is claimed as a science? P.S. I don't mean the ball-looking points/spots high in the sky appearing during the strongest thunderstorms (I've seen that once myslef). I mean those near-ground floating ball lightnings.

Should a marble model of a black hole be a ball or a hole?

I see. And they are scratching the wall with the very end of blade, next to the point.

When a fantasy (hero/villain) is walking and ominously scratching the wall or the ground with the end of his sword, does he understand that he is blunting exactly that part of the blade which must be the sharpest?

D-D produces a lot of waste neutrons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium_fusion Also, the very first high-yield fusion test (Ivy Mike) was done using liquid deuterium as the only fusion fuel, so it's harder, but not that harder. (Also, nothing prohibits adding some amount of tritium for ignition.) It does. See the first reaction above. (Btw, about the "Mining lunar helium-3 is so necessary for the Earth energetics." idea. The burning deuterium right from the ocean produces by orders of magnitude more helium-3 right in situ than can be ever mined on the Moon.)

Btw has anyone seen personally (or at least heard from a credible witness) a ball lightning? Is it scientific or not?

May 2023 end on its December, 31.

Btw. Why do the UFO deniers persistently try to convince us in absence of UFO? Do they know something? Idk, idk...
