Abstract
Repeated relationships between certain spatial regions and the report of ostensible UFO-like luminosities have suggested the role of as yet unspecified geophysical processes in the production of these events. Since intense, diffuse or spheroid light displays have been reported for centuries either before or during earthquakes and seem to involve piezoelectric-like effects, a model was developed to suggest that similar ionization/luminosities could occur in areas of tectonic stress, without gross seismicity, by the transient, extremely fine localization of otherwise normal geophysical forces. By using known principles of geophysics, electromagnetism, and behavior, predictions from the model can be generated to accommodate the apparent effects of some UFO-related episodes upon non-living and living electromagnetic systems. The testability of the model is emphasized.
