When I was in college, in Library Science, we were supposed to look up a Government Document and write a report on it. (The whole fifth floor of the library was devoted to "gov. docs", which had call letters/numbers totally different than those of the Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress systems.) Who would have known there was a whole government publication devoted to "Earthquake Lights?"

Here's a photo of one taken around the time of the Tsunami that hit Japan in 2011:

I don't know about earth lights in general, but earthquake lights are supposed to linger at ground level, though they can light up clouds overhead. They are often described as "dome-shaped" masses of luminosity, so they'd be great at playing landed flying saucers. Don't think they could shoot around high in the atmosphere.

I don't think you had to know about telekinesis when you tried to move your balloon-ball mentally. As a wee lad, my father sometimes had to take me to the bowling alley on his league nights. There just seems to be an instinctive urge to try and push those rolling spheres with the power of the mind, even if you're just an observer, as I was.

Swamp gas ... it is always swamp gas or Venus apparently.
