			We live in an electric 
			universe. Space is filled with plasma, the fourth state of matter. 
			Plasma consists of hot ionized atoms and is influenced by magnetic 
			fields. Plasma also conducts electrical current. Such current flow 
			creates magnetic fields which affect the structure of the 
			plasma. 
			 
			  
			The energy states and resulting structure are so complex that 
			scientists are not able to adequately model plasma phenomena 
			mathematically. However, we have a great deal of empirical knowledge 
			of plasmas since they have been used in industry for over a hundred 
			years.
 Arc lamps and arc welding processes create plasmas. The familiar 
			red 
			glow inside the glass tube of a neon light is actually a plasma at 
			work.

			What causes 
			lightning?   
			 
  Lightning 
			is a dense stream of luminous plasma, a powerful electric discharge. 
			But where does the energy in the form of electric charge come from? 
 New low-light photographs of the upper atmosphere (lower left 
			photo 
			* ) show that less-dense forms of 
			plasma discharge occur as high 
			as 70 km above the surface at the same time as the lightning.
 
			  
			
			
			 Planet 
			Earth appears to be exchanging electric charge with surrounding 
			space which is filled with solar plasma. 
			  
			Other glow discharge 
			phenomena have been detected between the ionosphere and the 
			center 
			of a hurricane. Atmospheric storms may be driven by energy from the 
			larger environment through which Earth travels.

			"Birkeland" Currents in Plasma
 
			 
			Plasmas do not behave 
			like a gas. They develop structure when a charge gradient produces 
			the movement of electric current. The current flow and resultant 
			magnetic fields cause the plasma to form filaments that twist 
			together into ropes. As long as the current continues, the structure 
			remains intact.
 
			  
			
			 The Tail of Venus
 
			In 
			mid-1997, the Soho satellite detected a plasma structure issuing 
			from Venus and almost reaching the surface of Earth. The report 
			described the structure as "stringy." Such a structure could only 
			remain intact if a current were continuously flowing from Venus to 
			the surrounding space via the plasma tail.
 
			  
			The discovery supports 
			the idea that Venus assumed its present position in the solar system 
			only recently, and has not yet achieved charge-equilibrium with its 
			environment.
 Interestingly, ancient names of Venus include the 
			Long Haired Star 
			and Bearded Star. Symbols and glyphs that carried the meaning 
			"planet Venus" also carried the meaning "comet."
 
 We suggest that in ancient times, this same "plasma tail" of 
			Venus 
			emitted a visible glow by the same mechanism that comets do today, 
			plasma discharge.
 
 
			  
			
			Hard Evidence for Massive Electric Discharge between bodies
 
			
  The 
			Valles Marineris stretches 4,000 km across the face of 
			Mars, a 
			massive gouge that could swallow a thousand Grand Canyons 
			(click image right). Water 
			erosion and normal geological processes are not adequate to have 
			produced a mark of this nature or magnitude. A massive electrical 
			discharge is. Our research indicates that planetary bodies have 
			significant charge, and when they travel sufficiently close to each 
			other for their plasma sheaths to interact, electrical discharges 
			are exchanged. 
 
  The 
			event blasted an estimated 2 million cubic kilometers of rock and 
			soil into space, some of which falls to Earth even today. 
 The mythical stories of ancient cultures recount a great warrior 
			whose face or body displayed a massive scar. (See the North American Scarface, Aztec Tlaloc, Norse Thor, Greek Theseus, Hindu Indra.) 
			In 
			several accounts, the agent of this scarring is a stupendous 
			lightning bolt. Comparative study will identify this imposing 
			"scarred" figure with the planet Mars.
 
 
			  
			
			Schroter’s Valley on the Moon
 
			
  This 
			"sinuous rille" stretches 250 km from one end to the other 
			(click image right). 
			Countless rilles of all sizes have been discovered throughout the 
			solar system. A close examination shows that these rilles could not 
			have been formed by flowing liquids. 
				
					
					
					Channels flow uphill 
				and down, ignoring obstacles 
					
					Young rilles cross 
				older rilles as if they didn’t exist 
					
					No out wash at lower 
				end 
					
					Frequent on-channel 
				series of circular craters following tortuous route  
			  
			  
			Europa Scars 
			
  A 
			careful examination of the strange markings that cover Jupiter’s 
			moon, Europa, show that no conventional explanation adequately 
			explains their cause. Rapid electric discharge could have produced 
			these effects

			The Favorite Weapon of the Gods
 
			During those times when the legendary Gods in the sky engaged in 
			battle with each other, it was said that they used the thunderbolt 
			exclusively. At times the thunderbolts flew so furiously, it was as 
			though the sky had become filled with arrows.
