Birkeland Currents
Massive electric currents that flow through plasma along magnetic field lines in space.
Full Explanation
Birkeland currents are the "power lines" of the cosmos. When intensified, they form glowing, twisted filaments, symmetrical columns, rotating toroidal rings, and the classic Squatter Man shape. They are responsible for the dramatic plasma displays during solar micronova events.
Why It Matters
They explain how energy moves during the flash and why ancient people recorded winged, humanoid plasma figures in petroglyphs worldwide.
