Scientists at IIT Kanpur have submitted a report on the phenomenon—they say it’s a natural occurrence, also observed in other countries, created by severe dry spells leading to poor conductivity of the earth. In all cases people saw a ball-like object emitting different colours and travelling sideways. The ball can produce about 100 watts of electricity and when it hits a person’s body, especially the face, it causes a burning sensation and rashes break out.
