In three secUons, ''Earth's Glowing Ghosts," "Electro-Dynamic Man,'· and
"Premature Cremations, " the book deals with the enigmatic aspects of fires
and lights. UFOs are treated in the first section. Agreeing that some of
these objects appear to be metallic craft piloted by humanoid beings, the
author points out that many reported sightings could be what he calls
''electro-animals"-- a form of upper-·atmospheric life perhaps feeding on
pure energy. Firefalls, ball lightnin~, fireballs ar1d similar phenomena
are also treated in the first section.
