One Of Nature's Rare Meteorological Phenomenons was witnessed recently bt scientists of the naval ordnance laboratory, silver spring, while conducting routine underwater explosion experments in a remote anea of chespeake hat. When a convertincal depth charges was detonated beneth the bat's surface, the rusulting 300-foot-high water plume induced a stray low level clod in a partally overcast sky to discharge its electrical is three consecutive lightining bolts, all following the same igniged path and all striking the water plune within one the iliaimnation of the top of the plume and its reflection on the water (F). Shows that the bults actually sthuck the time. Hayal Cue scienyists say that there is no sound methog of computing the memote mathmatical probablity of such an they point out that benjamin franklin coaxed lighting out of a cloud 200 years ago with a kite and a string, but to their this res been done with a water plume. phronbit handling of kxplosives before of during, however, N.O.L scientists pointed out that clear when the charge was placed the water, and although the sky became slightly overcast, there was no indication of storm or electrical activity in the air.
