In Topic: Naga Fireballs 2010

I've personally seen 19 fireballs on my 2004 visit to the Mehkhong (about 45 km from Nong Khai City). Sober. too. Yes, they do exist, and the explanations are equally fascinating.

BKK / LA flights: For a long time, Malaysian Airlines had the best deals. If you don't mind touring all of Asia enroute. And a 48-hour trip.

Apparently, a number of posters missed my warning post of last night. Please don't make a bad situation worse by returning flaming-type responses to some wild/unsubstantiated posts (such as accusing the poster of substance abuse). You have really taken the bait, and are now guilty of troll-feeding. The Troll du Jour has been permanently put out to pasture. Don't waste your breath (fingers), and please spend your energy on a fact-based discussion.
Cheers,
Toptuan

Please back off on the sweeping, unsubstantiated generalizations (bordering on trollish/inflammatory posts) and the flaming responses to those who do. Please be reminded of the forum rules to keep this thread on-track and civil:

May I please remind everyone of the following forum rules:
Posting wild, unsubstantiated claims and equally-unsubstantiated sweeping generalizations come very close to inflammatory/trollish posts, and you are asked to tone down the rhetoric considerably. A particularly inflammatory poster has been informally warned in a PM.
Replying to those posts with flaming-type responses are equally at fault in creating a downward spiral in the civility of this thread.
I'm asking all posters to raise the level of this discussion to factual on-topic posts so we don't have to close down this rapidly-going-sideways thread.
