Ball-of-Light International Data Exchange (BOLIDE)

A now-defunct project that shared and disseminated information relating to balls of light, with a wide scope of inquiry including ball-lightning, marsh lights, will o' the wisp, and séance room phenomena. The project coordinator was Hilary Evans, a British authority on such subjects as apparitions, visions, UFOs, and alien visitors. BOLIDE circulated data supplied by contributors—articles found in scholarly journals, press clippings, private research reports from groups or individuals, or personal speculations and hypothesis. Such data was sent to subscribers who paid only the cost of copying and mailing. BOLIDE may still be contacted c/o Hilary Evans, 59 Tranquil Vale, London SE3 OBU, England.

bolide

A Dictionary of Astronomy | 1997 | Copyright

bolide A fireball accompanied by one or more audible explosions, often associated with meteorite falls. The initial explosion is the sonic boom of the leading mass; smaller detonations follow if there are several major fragments. Many shock waves may be set up if considerable fragmentation occurs, causing a rumbling noise which follows the first major fragmentation.
