[NewCandle] Sichuan earthquake lights explained

[Keith Nagel]

Jones mentions these earthquake light clips on the utube.

You'll notice that in several of the clips, where ground features
were photographed, that cell antenna, telephone poles, and other
needle emitter shaped objects are present that roughly correlate
to the discharge effect above. I suspect the whole of the
ground is being raised to a large DC value w/ respect to the
air above and causing charged particle emission from the
tips of those emitters. The air display is the ionization due
to that focused beam emission. I'm so glad someone has
documented this phenomena; it's been reported anecdotally for
some time but I've never seen photographic evidence.
