Bob, love that fractal torus! So intuitive and amazing. I came across this ball lightning account from that site I sent you a few weeks ago. In this case, a woman accidentally created BL by quickly pulling two polartec blankets apart. Easy as Ken Shoulders said it was.

"Last night I was in my son's bedroom pulling apart two polartec blankets. The blankets had been washed and dried earlier in the day, but were currently room temperature. As I pulled the blankets apart, I gave a big tug because I could tell that they were being held together by static electricity. Amazingly a small ball of bright light, about the size of a golf ball, jump out from the blankets, rotated in space for a second or two and then jumped about three feet across the room and turned on my son's desklight. I immediately yelled "Holy cow, did you see that? It even turned on your light." My young son was not as amazed as I was with this event. After reading about the dangers of ball lightning I think that I'll turn up the humidifier and hope that this doesn't happen again.
