\ d) Il. Appearance Forms Spherical, rourhly globular, egjeshaped, or pear-shaped; many times with ‘dled likes streamers; or flame-like ire regular "masses of light." Appearance of outer boundary is generally hazy or illedefined. Photographs of the phenomenon may show one or several sinuous, tubular sad avation paths (trajectories taken by luminous darts), which may have associated with them broader luminous spaces of irregular configuration. (These latter spaces probably are regions where the sinuosities of path became involved and tortuous or are areas of major discharge where darts originated or terminated). Some paths show a beaded struc- ture (alternate luminous and dark spaces). Color r , described in individual cases by different colors but mostly reported as deep red and often as rlaring white.
