Physical review. E · Physical interpretation of recorded emissions
A paper proposes ball lightning as one possible interpretation of a simultaneous light observation and elevated gamma-ray counts during a thunderstorm-related event.
Method and scope
Recorded observations and earlier witness reports are considered within a physical ball-lightning interpretation.
What to keep in mind
The title’s wording is important: this is a possible detection, not a confirmed identification. Alternative explanations and the event’s instrumental context remain relevant.
