naga fireballs

[91319]

I wanna catch one.



[Epicminecraftacation]

@91319 good luck

[nekoheehee]

@91319 Yeah... That's a basketball sized ball of natural plasma... It could be about as hot as the sun... I wouldn't recommend it.

[yankolvich]

I saw this from a distance and thought it was a plane

[TastyThailand]

They're a natural phenomena that have been occuring for hundreds of years (documented). Even scientists, who congregate in the area every year, have never been able to prove otherwise.

[TheChickenWingsIX]

Methane Gas!!

[CreamCobblerFiend]

hey! the earth can light ITS farts on fire too!

[scunizwipes]

@seandervan It's actually a natural phenomena, scientifically caused by an excessive amount of decomposing organic material that lets off flammable gases, ignited by the sun, and pulled by the moon's gravitational pull. You can look it up :) I do note your winky face, just putting it out thereeee haha. God i'd love to see this.

[EnigmaStory]

@scunizwipes Then why did it happen at night?

[seandervan]

someone should shine a bright spotlight on them and see what is really happening... i bet they are being shot off from the laos side ;)

[tHecOmMeNtErSrEtUrN]

IDK, THERE FORE ALIENS.

[thatplankguy]

maybe its the same thing as will-o'-the-wisps?

[yourmumisAWSUM]

The number one theory suggests that fermented sediment in the river, things such as decomposing remains and animal waste, release bubbles of self-immolating gas that rise to the surface and combust. That's right, the best explanation science has come up with for the Naga fireballs is essentially that it eats too much meat. Suspiciously absent from this theory is a reason why the phenomenon occurs around the same time every year. Unless the Mekong eats a regimented diet of Activia yogurt, those

@yourmumisAWSUM tsss, if you quote some one at least give them credit in stead of trying to come over as really witty and original.

[much0J]

Aliens are breeding!

[dread313]

Its just Chuck Norris playing hacky sack.

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

Logically, if every other explanation fails, there had to be somebody, human or not, behind it.

Then again, it might be a natural phenomena that we haven't thought of.

[wika57]

dammit goku 

[RedUnbannable]

its some douchebag scubadiver with waterproof fireworks.

[milisar]

@RedUnbannable  yeah right fireworks on water haha you gotta be kidding me haha those are real and not "waterproof fireworks" nyahaha

[GondorLadyGwen]

@RedUnbannable au contraire, this has been happening since before fireworks existed, let alone 'waterproof' fireworks.

[YoDaPlaysDoTA]

the naga is real right

[GondorLadyGwen]

@YoDaPlaysDoTA yes. Science can't quite explain it, but the most likely theory is fermented cement is shooting up gas bubbles or something, i don't remember.

[ttasd1]

Naga fireballs from some kind mystical serpent that protect the old temple sunken in the river. Lots of monstter

[csynn]

hadoken!

[Feliploids1]

@csynn lmao!

[lalidaKC]

anyone ever seen the movie mekong full moon party? watch it. i think it's a cute explanation of this strange phenomenon.

[missa326]

omg earth is so beautiful. i hope its not some reptilian illuminati activity

[MorroccoSurrogate]

It looks like a fireworks-viewing festival, though, doesn't it?

[SiNgHayStyle]

Phaya Naga FireBall!!

[mctaffity]

really boring...what's the fuss about? rather see some fireworks.

[jay4457]

@mctaffity a river spits out fireballs naturally, science can't explain it....and you speak of fireworks....

[goerch69]

I have seen them several times during the last years. During the festival there's a lot of firework and signal rockets around but if you see a fireball you know the difference.They appear some meters above the water, go straight upwards with some speed and disappear. There is no smoke and they are absolutely silent. Like huge fireflys.The Mekong is quite narrow at this place and I have not seen any boat in reach or any facility on the bank from where somebody might shot tracer rounds.

[hoodwinkedfool]

They aren't fireworks. They're tracer rounds shot into the air by the military.

[SuperSirius11]

@hoodwinkedfool Tracers are a shit load faster than that. They still haven't proven the tracer theory either :P

[LanituastaFilm]

Am I the only one who can't see anything here?

[MasterTxJ]

[mouat2]

They're just fireworks set off for the tourists visiting the festival.

[SaintInsanity02]

Fireworks are supposed to explode.

[mouat2]

See the above comment by MasterTxJ.

[HJubb]

[AlexRGravlin]

Why does that matter?

[keith1780]
