Someone at Livermore has apparently recreated the phenomenon.
He found some sort of surplus high-voltage equipment on the base
and made it explode (somehow); ultra-high-speed photography
revealed a bright "ball" that bounced several times on the ground.
I saw this on a recent television show in Los Angeles.
Anyone know who this guy is?
