The historian Pliny, for example, wrote:
“Most men are not acquainted with a truth known to the founders of the science from their arduous study of the heavens.”
Thunderbolts, Pliny wrote, “are the fires of the three upper planets.”
A vivid description of an interplanetary discharge was also given by Pliny:
“Heavenly fire is spit forth by the planet as crackling charcoal flies from a burning log.” When such a discharge falls on the earth, he reported, “it is accompanied by a very great disturbance of the air,” produced “by the birth-pangs, so to speak, of the planet in travail.”
Pliny also referred to an ancient Etruscan tradition describing a bolt from the planet Mars that fell on Bolsena - “the city was entirely burned up by this bolt.”
Similarly, Pliny’s contemporary, the naturalist Seneca, distinguished the “lesser bolts” of the local storm from the vastly more powerful bolts of the planet Jupiter, “by which the threefold mass of mountains fell.”
