In 1993 Egan Bach wrote a treatise on the ejection of strange
donut-shaped fireballs from volcanoes. Historically they're known as gorgons,
but science was unable to explain their curious formation. As he delved deeper into their unique
structure and properties, it became apparent their behavior
mimicked most of the sightings of UFO’s. Sixty years ago, Winston Harper Bostick
found that an amorphous mass of high velocity plasma,
has a natural ability to convert a large proportion of its kinetic energy
into magnetic energy contained in an organized toroidal structure. He termed
this structure a “plasmoid.” It has become apparent that these
curious volcanic doughnut ejection structures are electromagnetic plasmoids.
Bach's book examines in minute detail their bizarre behavior. Going back to 1956, a milestone in plasma
physics was reached, when Bostick reported experimental results which showed that plasma,
when created and accelerated to high velocities by a batten type pulse source, is shaped
by its own magnetic field into a compact toroidal structure.
Terming this structure a plasmoid, Bostick was careful to distinguish his
own definition of a plasmoid as a generic term for all plasma magnetic entities.
Highly structured, from its definition as an amorphous blob,
he subsequently clarified his definition as a self-generating shaped body,
and a force-free, minimum free energy structure, taking the form of a plasma vortex.
According to Bostick, “A rather surprising result occurs when the source is placed in a vacuum
in an externally applied DC magnetic field and fired across the field.” The plasma
apparently has no difficulty in crossing the magnetic field, “...it forms an
ever-elongating hollow cylinder as it proceeds across the magnetic field... Subsequent
investigations were to prove that the plasma crosses the magnetic field
in a train of paired oppositely rotating diamagnetic vortices.”
Kubes et al. recently demonstrated a similar conversion effect
in a laboratory Z-pinch. The points of maximum pinch serve to accelerate
plasma actually away from the zone of maximum compression. The high-velocity
plasma then forms ”...toroidal, helical and plasmoidal structures
within the dense plasma column in the lower pressure regions
along the axis.” A Z-pinch is apparently an efficient way of generating the
initial high velocities, which result in the formation of self-contained plasmoids
by the mechanism which Bostick identified. The volcanic plasmoidal ejection occurs
at a specific point in any new eruption, with the plasmoid size varying vastly.
Is this the classic dark-glow-arc stages of excitation of plasma, signaling the
timing of ejection? For instance, reports mentioned some only 20 centimeters diameter,
while others cite these plasmoids at over 100 meters long.
The plasmoid color also varies greatly, with witnesses up to 100 kilometers from
the volcano, such as mount Redoubt in Alaska, noting dramatic color shifts.
From brilliant, whitish violet, to bluish, greenish, gold, orange, and finally to red
and infrared. They fly at a rapid speed, reportedly at above the speed of a jet plane. But
they seem also to descend and rise, often in formation or swarms,
and can fly thousands of kilometers from their origin. They can both attract and repel each
other. So how do these plasmoids UFO’s manifest at eruption time?
The following is quoted on the Redoubt eruption in Alaska on February the 15th, 1990
by captain Richard Swain some 35 kilometers away. “The top of Redoubt lit
up with an incredibly bright flash. The Cook Inlet and the mountains behind it lit up in
daytime brightness. A fireball grew above Redoubt with
huge tongue-like projections - quite unlike the concentric fireball
of nuclear explosions. Right on the heel of that fireball an innumerable multitude of fireballs
began to jet in all directions. They streaked really fast in the two
opposite directions of Homer and Anchorage. Their speed was
such that the eyes had a hard time following the flight. They appeared like tracer bullets,
not perfectly round as they disappeared along the inlet, at perhaps three times the speed of a
jet plane. Those balls went on for about eight minutes,
at first many hundreds, then becoming smaller and fewer as time progressed. At the
beginning they were huge and many, but after about ten minutes
an abundance of common lightning strikes began in the eruption cloud.” Important in
the Swain video is Bach's comment. ”The sequence shows two huge discs
hovering close to the horizon. They gradually divide into four and then eight and finally
sixteen discs, all in intimate linkage! These objects seem all aglow from the
inside. They clearly fly northeast along the magnetic meridian
and back to the volcano.” But by what mechanism are these plasmoid UFO’s created?
If we look at the volcano from an Electric Universe interpretation,
this may help. The massive production of molten magma,
steam, and possibly transmutation of elements, and formation of new compounds, suggests
the possibility that we're dealing with a high-energy Z-pinch situation.
Now a pinch is the compression of an electrically conducting
filament by magnetic forces. The conductor is usually a plasma, but could also be a solid,
or liquid metal. Pinches were the first type of device used for experiments in controlled
nuclear fusion power. This pinch effect is the self-constriction of a cylinder
of an electrically conducting plasma. When an electric current is passed
through a plasma, a magnetic field is set up that tends to force
the current-carrying particles together. This force can compress the plasma so
that it is heated, as well as confined. But such a self-pinched plasma cylinder is
unstable and will quickly develop kinks or break up into a series of lumps,
resembling a string of sausages, or in this case plasmoids, ready for ejection
from a volcano or earthquake. Ejected plasmoids often form
cylinders which shear apart, like stacks of coins into flat ellipsoids. By what
criteria are we convinced that most UFO sightings are in fact these very plasmoids? Well, firstly they
seem to possess an intelligence, and they being heavier than air, they rise and fall
to the ground as though being flown. They seem to fly in the direction of
either of the magnetic poles. They can readily change shape, and pulse and blink with rhythms
shorter than one second, with light often several colors. This is a ubiquitous
property of these plasmoids and this observation is often recorded
during UFO sightings. Similarly, the plasma property of developing colored
portholes in their equatorial plane, is classic flying saucer mythology.
The normal plasmoid body is a sphere, which often bulges into an ellipsoid with a short or long
rotation axis, reflected as a saucer or cigar. They draw closer via
an electromagnetic, but actual visible chain link. These bodies often develop a mist
which is drawn out during flight to a tail. Here the visual relationship between comets
and images of Matsumoto's mini-plasmoids emitted out of electrodes, but also
showing a cometary tail and jets, is interesting. This seems to link the concept of
scalability of electromagnetic characteristics. Widespread witnesses from over the globe
relate how volcanic plasmoids often then detonate after producing this tail.
These plasmoid UFO’s are attracted to the Sun, but also
other heat sources, such as reported at power stations and jetliner exhausts.
Plasmoids for instance have arrived at different times to heated ducts at power stations.
This would explain reports of pilots being tracked
by a UFO. Bach interpreted much of the behavior of these UFO’s
before the advent of the Electric Universe hypothesis
and before the deeper understanding of plasma physics
from researchers such as Anthony Peratt. To me this sharpened knowledge of plasma behavior
seems to crystallize much of the behaviors of these plasmoid UFO’s. Regardless
Bach's work clearly shows how these entities mimic the reported behavior of our classic UFO's.
Whilst the Electric Universe enlightenment explains
much of their seemingly intelligent, yet erratic behavior, NASA has been slow to embrace plasma
physics and its paramount status in the universe. It seems that they tend to explain UFO’s
as extraterrestrial, when a simpler explanation exists. Nevertheless, strong evidence suggests
that most UFO sightings can be clearly explained as
errant plasmoids, or gorgons as the ancients named them.
Will NASA actually provide evidence that contradicts Bach?
