Plasmoids and Consciousness: Gravity, Anesthesia, and the Corona Puzzle

Plasmoids—ball-lightning–like corona discharges—have drawn interest as a UAP category, with observations by the speaker and Steve showing these entities sometimes behaving with an unsettling intelligence, playing or hiding and moving around without any visible propulsion or vapor trail. One idea credited to Jack Sarfat is that their movement might involve gravity, echoing Roger Penrose’s notions about bending spacetime to travel without propellant and raising the intriguing possibility that gravity-matter interactions could hint at consciousness. A planetary scientist from the University of Arizona notes the motion as a mystery, and Dana Kipple is among those studying it for an upcoming conference, underscoring how much remains uncertain. The discussion then shifts to curling photography, an aura- or corona-like phenomenon explored since the 1980s as a window into consciousness, especially when anesthesia is involved. In a rat study, awake, the tail showed a corona, but once anesthesia was introduced, the corona vanished, with the effect closely tracking the potency of the anesthetic. A control experiment used a two-plate RF chamber to generate a corona without any animal, confirming that anesthesia inhibits electron mobility and causes the corona to diminish as if the gas were dampening a cloud of electrons rather than producing sparks. This led to the conclusion that anesthesia blocks the corona by suppressing electron movement, a finding that touches on how consciousness could operate through microstructures like microtubules and how it might relate to atmospheric corona phenomena, even leaving open the question of whether plasmoids could be anesthetized or are signaling some form of consciousness if gravity plays a role. The conversation keeps its uncertainty, with Dana Kipple slated to present at the conference as researchers continue to explore these ideas.
