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.

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.
