		Not quite the same, but Ball Lightning is one of my favorite similar phenomena (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning)

Its interesting that there are will-o'-wisp style folklore the whole world over. Whether or not its a real phenomenon, psychological, or a mix, its fascinating that it seem to be so universal.

		This is exactly what I came to comment. There are so many conserved ideas in folklore. Dragons, gods, fairy lights and will-o'-the-wisp. Star peoples, floods. I wonder if structures in information and latent reality space cause us to draw these same conclusions and convergences.

Kind of reminded me of fata morgana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fata_Morgana_(mirage)

curious, has anyone ever tried to replicate the "gases escaping the earth and igniting on air contact" explanation for these (and similar phenomena like will o wisps?)

		Phospine does ignite on contact with air.
