It has been mistaken for UFOs wreaked havoc on homes and eluded rational explanation for centuries.
几个世纪以来，球形闪电被认为是UFO构成的损坏，然后逃脱了寻求合理解说的诉求
But now ball lightning a large mysterious glow that appears during thunderstorms has been explained by scientists for the first time.
但现在，球形闪电这种在雷暴气候呈现的，大型而奥秘的发光现象，第一次有了科学的解说.
The eerie orb-light glow is created when microwave radiation given off during a lightning strike becomes trapped inside a plasma bubble new research suggests.
新的研讨标明，当微波辐射暴露在闪电中时，辐射将被困于等离子体泡内，然后发作一个古怪的球形发光体
The fireball eventually fades away as the radiation held within the bubble starts to dissipate - and when microwaves leak out the lightning balls can dramatically explode.
终究，跟着等离子体泡内的辐射开端散失，火球也会渐渐消逝---当微波外泄时，球形闪电或许会发作剧烈爆破。
Ball lightning also known as fireballs and ghost lights have spooked sky-watchers for hundreds of years.
球状闪电也被称为“火球”和“鬼魂灯”，数百年来不断引发观测者们的惊惧。
The strange phenomenon can appear in the sky from the size of a golf ball to several metres across and can last between one second and tens of seconds.
这种古怪的现象能够呈现在空中，尺度从高尔夫球大小到几米不等，并能够持续 一秒到几十秒。
The orbs mostly appear during thunderstorms but can also form inside aircraft and closed rooms.
这些球体大多在雷暴气候呈现，但也能够在航空器内部和关闭的空间内构成。
And the globe-like structures can decay silently or explode loudly producing rancid odours in their wake.
这种球状体在其尾流中会静静衰减或许爆宣布激烈的腐臭气味。
These strange and varying characteristics have presented a 'riddle' to scientists trying to work out their origins.
这些独特又多样的特征给企图弄清楚它们来源的科学家们带来了一个“谜”。
But now researchers have come up with a theory to explain how the mysterious fireballs form.
不过现在研讨人员现已提出了一个理论来解说这种奥秘的火球是怎么构成的。
Researchers from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou China have proposed that the bright glow of lightning balls is created when microwaves become trapped inside a plasma bubble.
我国杭州的浙江大学研讨人员提出，当微波困于等离子体气泡中时，就会发作亮堂的电光球。
Ball lightning has been reported to appear during thunderstorms as a glow for centuries.
据报道，球状闪电现已数百年间在雷暴气候呈现。

I saw ball lightning one stormy night while on hols in Scotland back in the 1980s. Weird stuff. Glad I was well away from it.
我在上世纪80年代到苏格兰休假，在一个风雨交加的夜晚，我看到了球状闪电。这是一个古怪的东西。很快乐我离它很远。

Or its the firmament vale slipping off. Expect more of these so called phenomenons.
或许由于它是从天空底部向下滑落。等待能介绍更多这样的现象。

Why does it sometimes appear to follow people or vehicles?
为什么它有时会跟从人或车辆？
jbegan -> Ted loon
Static electric charge..Kind of like when you rub a balloon on your head and you can lift your hair with it like a magnet.. My mother was in the kitchen and a ball lightning popped out of the over (old style gas over you had to light with a match in the 60's).. it floated out of the oven and began following her so she ran out into the dining room and slammed the door shut.. The ball of whatever floated through the door and continued to follow her so she ran from it.. it still followed then disappeared with a pop!.
静电充能……就比如当你用气球磨你的头时，气球能像磁铁相同吸住你的头发。我老妈曾在厨房里看到过球形闪电，它从烤炉里蹦出来(那种六十年代的旧式烤炉，要你用火柴点的那种)，它飘过烤炉然后朝我妈飘过去，我妈跑到餐厅然后敏捷关上门……成果这玩意竟穿过了门并持续朝她飘去……我妈拼命地跑，它一向跟着……然后……呯的一声，不见了！

So how was your dad?
你爸咋样了？

Makes the electric universe theory even more viable.

I'm glad we finally got that sorted out.
我很快乐这样的一个问题总算被咱们处理了。

It could be that. Or the more probable explanation is: highlander
或许是这样。但更或许的解说是: 高地人(注: 苏格兰高地人，一般都很猛)
