Lord, touch this man and if he doesn't know you save him now in Jesus name. Amen.
St Elmo’s Fire is a greenish, static electricity discharge that most often appears on ships and aircraft. I’ve witnessed it in flight on one of the old SAC Looking Glass planes. It is not fire nor flames.
SO wrong, my friend. St. Elmo's Fire is a static electricity phenomenon. I've experienced it more than once as a pilot. It's a beautiful thing to behold. A metal aircraft flying through highly charged air (think near a thunderstorm, for example) at high speed and high altitiude.....major static buildup on the skin of the aircraft....next thing you know, you see 'fingers' of 'lightning' dancing all about your windscreen, wing leading edges, etc. Very impressive, but NOT what you're talking about.
