The doc's a little late off the mark. Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos National Laboratory has been researching a massive zeta-pinch aurora in antiquity around that time and managing to keep it scientific without any references to ESP abilities. This was following up a suggestion by Thomas Gold about the effects that a massive solar coronal ejection could have on the earth.

List of relevant papers HERE. Look especially at numbers 15, 18, and 25. These are links to pdf files of the papers:

15. A. L. Peratt, Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current, Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity, Trans. Plasma Sci. v.31, n.6, 2003

18. A. L. Peratt, J. McGovern, A. H. Qöyawayma, M. A. Van der Sluijs, and M. G. Peratt, Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity Part II: Directionality and Source, Trans. Plasma Sci. v.35, n.4, 2007.

25. A. L. Peratt and W. F. Yao, Evidence for an intense solar outburst in prehistory, Physica Scripta T131, October 2008

They've been doing field work in Canada recently exploring the physical evidence for proton discharge from aurora to the earth's surface. He told me he also has a book in the works.

Thanks for the links. Yeah, the ESP bit was kinda out there.

FYI - Might want to keep an eye on lighting. Was traveling across the country a few months ago and I ran into the absolute worse lighting storm I have ever seen. Almost unbelievable. Simultaneous strikes all around the vehicle I was driving. And at times the lighting bolt seem to remain for a few seconds. It was at night and the bolts that remained for a few seconds kinda hurt the eyes there were so bright. And I have been seeing quite a few reports about lightning deaths this summer.
