I think this is from the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics.
"The experiment involves two electrodes placed in a small tank of salt water, with one electrode covered by a clay tube. A large current of over 60 amps was then run through the water for 150 milliseconds, vaporizing water inside the clay tube and causing a ball of plasma to appear above the tank for 0.3 seconds. Although the plasma glows brightly it was found to be quite cold, much like a neon tube."-sourced from Wikipedia
I wrote to New Scientist in 1988 re ball lightning. Didn't even get an acknowledgement.
Has someone woken up?
