I love as yet unexplained visual phenomena.

Kind of reminded me of fata morgana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fata_Morgana_(mirage)

Its interesting that there are will-o'-wisp style folklore the whole world over. Whether or not its a real phenomenon, psychological, or a mix, its fascinating that it seem to be so universal.

curious, has anyone ever tried to replicate the "gases escaping the earth and igniting on air contact" explanation for these (and similar phenomena like will o wisps?)

Reminds me of the Marfa Lights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfa_lights

Reminds me of Te Lapa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te_lapa

“Te lapa is a Polynesian term for an unexplained light phenomenon underneath, or on the surface of, the ocean.”

It is used to navigate when you are lost at sea, but only when you are truly lost.

Shouldn't single spectrum photograph resolve the mystery?
