ATYPICAL LODGING PHENOMENA
____________________________________________________
* * * NOTA DELL'AMMINISTRATORE: "THE FORTEANIST" * * *
Among the usual Lodging Phenomena (caused by storms, or Meteorological Micro-Bursts) there is a sub-class of events that has some special characteristics (Atypical Lodging Phenomena):
- the marks on the ground appear isolated, with no other marks or signs of meteorological damage around (the fields appear otherwise undisturbed)
- there are curious and well-defined semi-geometric (or semi-regular) shapes (although the edges are always rough and jagged)
- the phenomenon can also be seen on sunny days and clear nights and is not necessarily connected with bad weather
- many eyewitnesses claim that the marks on the ground were formed within a few seconds (or at least in a very small fraction of time) by the action of a simple mini air-vortex or a more complex dusty whirlwind phenomenon.
Considering all the above aspects, the most conservative assumption is that the cases of Atypical Lodging are caused by an Unusual (and almost completely ignored) class of extremely localized low energy meteorological phenomena, described by scholars as "localized micro-vortices" or "localized micro-whirlwinds", "micro-tornadoes "or more specifically: "METEOROLOGICAL NANOBURSTS"
A more 'heretic' explanation might be found in the Plasma-Vortex Theory consisting of a combination of Electromagnetic factors with the usual Meteorological factors.

- Pseudohallucinations: radio reception through shrapnel fragments. (1981) -
Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7270748
Quoted:
"a) Radio-reception. A 35 year old Vietnam combat, veteran started to complain of depression, headaches, and hearing blurred voices and music. Skull X-rays showed shrapnel metallic densities in the soft tissues and cranial bones of the left parieto-occipital region. His perception of voices and music were matched with stations in the AM broadcast band, and consistently identified the same station in the 560 Khz range. His radio- reception involved the metal implant diode rectification of the radio signal, and its bone transmission to the auditory apparatus. Other cases of broadcast reception due to dental work have been reported as well."

* * * NOTA DELL'AMMINISTRATORE: "THE FORTEANIST" * * *
The only real and legitimate application of the "Kirlian Device" is INDUSTRIAL NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION AND ANALYSIS OF MATERIALS AND SPECIMENS. Kirlian devices for industrial applications sometimes called "Electromagnetic Discarge Imaging" have a different configuration than the "classic" devices commonly used by New-Age charlatans.
Any other application of the Kirlian Invention like "Energetic Analysis" of Homeopathic Dilutions, "Seed Vitality Analysis", "Food Quality Control", "Human Bioenergetic Scanning", Medical Diagnostics etc... etc...
range from EXTREMELY DUBIOUS to SOME OF THE WORST AND INCREDIBLE HEALTH FRAUDS/SCAMS OF ALL TIME!
Just out of curiosity I've included a couple of very strage articles that demonstrate the utility of Kirlian technology for Paleontological purposes!
I believe that there may be other possible uses of the Kirlian Apparatus in the field of Materials Science currently undiscovered.
