In my opinion, supporters <strong>of</strong> the standard theories have boxed themselves<br />
into a corner and are essentially blind to the possibility that their ideas are<br />
wrong. They seem to know or care little about electrical effects because<br />
their pr<strong>of</strong>essors are likewise ignorant on the subject. Yes, I understand that<br />
for some, aspects <strong>of</strong> what I say in this book will come across as arrogant and<br />
even unfounded. This is something I regret, but as an interested member <strong>of</strong><br />
the public who has put the time and effort into understanding these things,<br />
it seems plain that impact theory can explain only a tiny fraction <strong>of</strong> craters,<br />
especially the circular ones that make up the vast majority!<br />

I see no option than to face up to the fact that if we accept that electrical<br />
currents flow within the conductive medium <strong>of</strong> space as described and that<br />
charged bodies exist there that have moved around and interacted electrically,<br />
then Birkeland current discharges will surely be the prime suspect in the<br />
process <strong>of</strong> machining out craters. This is also a process that people who have<br />
an appreciation <strong>of</strong> the basic behaviour <strong>of</strong> plasma discharges agree would take place at right angles to the surface<br />
at the receiving end <strong>of</strong> the discharge. Therefore, the conditions for producing a circular feature would appear<br />
to be in place. For visual confirmation <strong>of</strong> this just look at a decorative plasma ball. There you see every one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the dancing filaments <strong>of</strong> plasma in contact with the central electrode at right<br />
angles (90 degrees). So, to take everything so far covered into account, is it not<br />
plausible that a vertically-acting tornado <strong>of</strong> electric current with its associated<br />
EM forces could scour and lift surface material away from a planet or moon to<br />
leave behind circular craters?<br />
If you allow yourself to hold on to this thought then you may realise also that this<br />
electrical action would likely be completed in just a few seconds or minutes and<br />
that it would appear to an observer like the strike <strong>of</strong> a cosmic thunderbolt. Here<br />
again there is a temptation to link things with aspects <strong>of</strong> myth and legend found<br />
in ancient accounts <strong>of</strong> great battles that took place in the skies between gods and<br />
warriors. I find this pr<strong>of</strong>oundly interesting, especially because the science itself<br />
makes great sense and the peoples <strong>of</strong> those times would have had no reason whatsoever to mislead anyone with<br />
what certainly would be their honest attempts to record their impression <strong>of</strong> what was to them very real.<br />
