Hi Martin. Thanks for your response.

I agree, no humans with hooves should be admitted to North America.

Kidding aside, you write about earthquake lights and causes as if no more research is needed.

Come on. There is no way that these lights have been studied to any extent. In order to study them, you would have to know where an event was about to ocurr. If you did, you could predict events precisely.

You did mention electrical charge in your post. Electricity is also common in lightning.

Part of your post is very interesting:

"Of course moisture conducts electricity up the fault to the surface where it looks for a further conductive route to the upper
atmosphere..." "Then Kaboom, EARTHQUAKE."

Here in Taiwan, I have noted a definite relation to atmospheric pressure and the larger events. This also could possibly be related to electricity in the earth.

Low ceilings and double ceilings seem to be common in earthquakes.

The current level of information about earthquake lights cannot possibly be much more than a few lucky snapshots unless someone from the USGS got extremely lucky in the placement of sensors to provide the data that is believed to be the definitive answer.

Perhaps some assumptions are used from time to time when no accurate information is available. The assumptions would likely be passed on as scientific fact.

Keep an open mind. Anything is possible. The world is not flat.
