  • A Straight Lightning Bolt?! Observation of a Predicted Macro Dark Matter Signature.- [PDF] - [Article]

    Nathaniel Starkman, Glenn D. Starkman, Harrison Winch, Jagjit Singh Sidhu
     

    Recently, four remarkably straight very brief flashes of light were captured on video in Perth, Australia within 0.5s of one another. Straight lightning was recently identified as a prediction of macroscopic dark matter (macros) -- a broad class of alternative candidates to particle dark matter. A sufficiently large macro passing through the atmosphere producing a straight column ofplasma would produce fluorescence, or, under atmospheric conditions conducive to lightning, seeda very straight lightning strike visible to the naked eye. Other explanations are considered, but areproblematic.
