It is looking more and more like earthquake warning type signals which I am monitoring are liked with solar and geomagnetic storm activity. Those signals disappeared during the past week or so while geomagnetic storm activity was at a low point. That activity increased during the past day or two. And the signals returned.

A theory which I am presently considering proposes that before earthquakes occur in some fault zones geomagnetic storm energy can begin to drain into the fault zones. They act as a type of antenna for the energy. And the rapid buildup of electromagnetic energy in the fault zone can lead to charges being present in the air above the fault zone. Earthquake lights and some earthquake warning type signals are then associated with those charges.

The following is a somewhat amusing theory to explain some of the relatively small, round earthquake lights. This might be possible. I do not know if it actually happens.

Static in the air above the fault zone can produce small electric discharges. If an insect is flying above the water or land it can become a focal point for one of those discharges. The insect gets hit by a tiny lightning bolt. This is similar to what a person walking across a synthetic rug on a low humidity day may experience when he or she touches a metal object.

That high temperature spark causes part of the insect’s body to vaporize. And the carbon and hydrogen in that vaporized material begin to burn. The combustion process produces a stable plasma which electromagnetic energy fields in the area can interact with creating a glowing discharge which may exist for a short period of time.

The earthquake fault zone has become the world’s largest bug zapping device.
