Complex ball lighting events at Soreham-by-Sea, Sussex, England, 24 September 2000 and 3 November 2000, by Peter Van Doorn, published December 2001 in The Journal of Meteorology (vol. 26, no. 264, article, pp.381-386)   Download PDF

A remarkable series of phenomenal events which occurred on the Sussex coast, in the Autumn of 2000, challenge many existing views on the nature and origin of BL. There were many incidents and numerous witnesses to what occurred, and because the former are so varied and the descriptions provided by the latter so unusual, it would be impractical, in fact impossible, to describe them all in a single attack. This is the first of a series, and is written in narrative form; diagrams and analyses of what occurred will appear in due course.
