The nature of ball lightning (BL) is pure electric and can be described by simple equations following to elementary considerations of equality of translational acceleration and velocity of the ions and electrons, a spherical-like dipole BL as a whole and balance of the energy influx of atmospheric electricity and radiation losses. From these equations follows a linear relationship between the size of BL and the tension of the atmospheric field E. A typical size of the fireball (FB) r ~ 5 cm corresponds to the calculated electron temperature T(e) ~ 8000K at a pressure p = 1 at with a horizontal component of the electric field E a few kV/cm. I estimate the energy of BL and characterize the conditions of its possible experimental generation. The estimation is given of the surface tension of BL. The possibility of the hot and the most realistic thermodynamic non-equilibrium cold BL is discussed. Here we presented preliminary evaluations preceding the more detailed work in Arxiv.org [11].

I present estimates to justify previously proposed by me heuristic Dipole Dynamical Model (DDM) of Ball Lightning (BL). The movement and energy supplying to the dipole BL are due to the atmospheric electric field. Crucial for the detailed analysis of BL is using the new relation of balance of the force of atmospheric electric field (per unit mass of electron cloud) and dipole forces electrons-ions within BL dipole (per unit mass of BL) as the first necessary condition for the existance of BL as an integer. This model is unique because, unlike existing static models, fundamental condition for the existence of Ball Lightning is its forward motion. The virial theorem limiting BL power does not apply to BL which is not closed system like the Sun or Galaxy systems and is strongly dependent part of the infinitely extended in time and space large system. Stability of BL is due to two free parameters with the fundamental role of thermodynamic non-equilibrium, ionization, recombination and translational movement with energy loss by radiation and also excess volumetric positive charge. Stability of BL is not related to the presence of any external shells. Polarization degree of BL plasma is characterized by polarizability factor {gamma}. An example is presented of calculating the stability of an option of BL. There is also a possible connection of stability BL with statistical distributions of the atmospheric electric field in time and space. Destruction of BL can also occur due to arising kinematical instability at its accelerating (or decelerating) movement. Maximal energy density in BL DDM does not exceed the value Espec<(10(8) - 10(9)) J/m(3) decreasing with the growing BL radius. Resulting indefinitely long BL lifetime is also discussed. BL has no outer shell and no any inner rigid or elastic microstructure elements.

After centuries, the long-standing problem of the nature of ball lightning may be closer to a solution. The relativistic-microwave theory of ball lightning recently proposed by Wu accounts for many of the leading characteristics of ball lightning, wh ich most previous theories have failed to do. It involves the impact of a lightning-caused relativistic electron bunch to soil, producing an EM pulse that forms a plasma bubble. While the theory presents a plausible account of ball-lightning formation, storing electromagnetic energy long enough to account for the observed lifetime of such objects was not demonstrated. Here we show how such a structure can develop the high Q factor (~10^10) needed for the observed lifetimes of ~seconds for ball lightning, and show that the structure is radially stable, given certain assumptions.
We present the results of extensive multi-band intra-night optical monitoring of BL Lacertae during 2010--2012. BL Lacertae was very active in this period and showed intense variability in almost all wavelengths. We extensively observed it for a tota l for 38 nights; on 26 of them observations were done quasi-simultaneously in B, V, R and I bands (totaling 113 light curves), with an average sampling interval of around 8 minutes. BL Lacertae showed significant variations on hour-like timescales in a total of 19 nights in different optical bands. We did not find any evidence for periodicities or characteristic variability time-scales in the light curves. The intranight variability amplitude is generally greater at higher frequencies and decreases as the source flux increases. We found spectral variations in BL Lacertae in the sense that the optical spectrum becomes flatter as the flux increases but in several flaring states deviates from the linear trend suggesting different jet components contributing to the emission at different times.
Since 1997, BL Lacertae has undergone a phase of high optical activity, with the occurrence of several prominent outbursts. Starting from 1999, the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) consortium has organized various multifrequency campaigns on this blazar, collecting tens of thousands of data points. One of the main issues in the analysis of this huge dataset has been the study of colour variability. The massive amount of optical and near-infrared data collected during the campaigns enables us to perform a deep analysis of multiband data, with the aim of understanding the flux variability mechanisms. We use a new approach for the analysis of these data, focusing on the source spectral evolution. We show that the overall behaviour of the BL Lacertae light and colour curves can be explained in terms of changing viewing angle of a moving, discrete emitting region, which causes variable Doppler boosting of the corresponding radiation. A fractal helical structure is suggested to be at the origin of the different time scales of variability.
Fuzzy Epistemic Logic is an important formalism for approximate reasoning. It extends the well known basic propositional logic BL, introduced by Hajek, by offering the ability to reason about possibility and necessity of fuzzy propositions. We consid er an algebraic approach to study this logic, introducing Epistemic BL-algebras. These algebras turn to be a generalization of both, Pseudomonadic Algebras introduced by cite{Bez2002} and serial, euclidean and transitive Bi-modal Godel Algebras proposed by cite{CaiRod2015}. We present the connection between this class of algebras and fuzzy possibilistic frames, as a first step to solve an open problem proposed by Hajek cite[chap. ~8]{HajekBook98}.
