The maths is to much for me, but this paper seems to explain some of the characteristics of BL.

Thanks Wolram, but has that paper been published?

Obviously we reference material published in news and other media sources, but if a specific and obscure, new, or otherwise generally unknown theory [not common knowledge] is to be used as a scientific explanation for a phenomenon, then either the theory must be found in a paper published in a journal listed at the links below, or the poster must demonstrate that the source is an applicable peer-reviewed journal recognized by the mainstream academic community.

I doubt it. BE's in Ball Lightning sounds pretty... different.

I assume the answer is, no.
