"Difficult, maybe," he answered. "But not impossible. Ball lightning, once formed, can travel over comparatively large distances, change direction and altitude many times in the process. Furthermore, atmospheric friction is common in cold, clear weather and this could generate clouds of electrons that move as plasmas. Even tiny ice crystals in the air could add to the effect" When I mentioned the radioactive rocks that produce radon gas in the Wanaque and Ringwood area, Mr. Klass felt that this also could be a contributing factor in producing ionized plasmas in the air under Perhaps these are all valid explanations for the tendency of UFOs to appear above the Wanaque Reservoir and over surrounding regions of New Jersey. They sound logical. They are logical. But they are not an absolute answer - because nobody has yet bothered to use scientific instruments, such as Until somebody is interested and patient enough to keep a vigil with such instruments at the Wanaque Reservoir, nobody will know what really happened at Wanaque, N.J. miles away? Wouldn't this make it difficult for ball lightning to be generated in that area?" certain atmospheric conditions. mass spectrometers, spectrographs or magnetometers, for analysis of the strange UFOs as they appear.
