- This volume is a major expansion of the first catalog in this series, Lightning, Auroras, Nocturnal Lights, first published in 1982. So much additional information on luminous phenomena has been collected, that this new edition is almost twice the size of the 1982, that a new title seems appropriate.
- Dozens of new phenomena are recognized, and we have added a great many eye-witness account (mostly from science journals) of low-level auroras, ball lightning, earthquake lights, marine wheels, luminous phenomena above thunderclouds, and, especially, lengthy coverages of low-level nocturnal lights (Marfa, Brown Moutnain, Min Min, Nekha, Hessdalen, etc).
- Topic covered include:
- Aurora-like phenomena
- Ball Lightning
- Diffuse Electrical Discharge Phenomena
- Lightning Anomalies
- Low-Level Meteor-Like Luminous Phenomena
- Nocturnal Lights
- Marine Phosphorescent Displays
