Naga Fireballs are a natural phenomenon that appear only in the Mekong
River, Thailand. Each year, hundreds of red glowing balls spontaneously
rise up from the water into the air and disappear without noise. These
mysterious sparkles are small, but sometimes they reach a size of a
basketball.
Ghostly fireballs can be seen in different times of the year but most
frequent they are in late October - early November, when the long period
of rains has ended and Mekong is filled with lots of fast flowing,
muddy water.
One science theory suggests that fermented sediment in the river, things
such as decomposing remains and animal waste, release bubbles of
self-immolating gas that rise to the surface and combust. Suspiciously
absent from this theory is a reason why the phenomenon occurs around the
same time every year. But locals believe the balls come from the breath
of Naga, a mythical serpent that haunts the river.
