Touches on various theories, then concentrates on known physical aspects and experimental production of BL. Various short-duration BLs produced artifically.

Y.H.Ohtsuki, (ed) International Symposium on Ball Lightning Pub: World Scientific, 1989, Teaneck, NJ See: http://home.wxs.nl/~icblsec/pg_ohtsu.html A collection of papers from a recent international research symposium. I was particularly fascinated by the large number of videotapes of BL made by the public in Japan, where camcorders are apparently more common than in the US.
