Will 'O The Wisp and Foo Fighters are both phenomena that have been reported, with Will 'O The Wisp being a glowing weather phenomenon that can enter structures, while Foo Fighters are associated with unexplained aerial sightings by pilots. Discussions highlight the fear among military personnel to report such sightings due to potential job repercussions, leading to their classification under UFOs. Theories surrounding these phenomena suggest they may be explained through classical physics, particularly nonlinear electrodynamics, rather than quantum mechanics. The conversation also touches on the complexities of quantum theory and its implications for understanding light and energy, emphasizing the need for deeper knowledge beyond basic definitions. Overall, the scientific community continues to explore these phenomena, but many aspects remain unverifiable.

Wow... 5 years. That's impressive thread necromancy Hareslade. That's one way of making an impression.

HI .. when one's in deep freeze, time is not relevent.. i thought it was 3 Earth years, anyway.?

I'm on a canal boat in Wiltshire now, in the middle of 'lights' country

Is anyone going to play let's explain weird lights, ? its one of my pet obsessions, what i really want to know is (being electronics based) just what makeable sensors might i use, to gain info. on these things. But even simple sensors like light spectrum analysis are not easy in 'the field' and such things aren't cheap.. unless someones prepared to lend me stuff..

Theory and experiment go together in a loop, but basic -testable- theories are a bit thin on the ground in standard physics?

Incidentally the Japanese were really interested in 'ufo' research a decade back, haven't seen them lately. And ufo doen't mean aliens (ho ho), in my world it means an unidentifiable -but real- phenomena class, massively interesting from a physics point of view, because of the odd habits the lights have.. am i hijacking the thread, should i make another?

I don't think you're hijacking the thread, but for all of that making a new one about your partciular interest (or a blog) might be the right move.

Please start a new thread in the Skepticism & Debunking forum.
