19. "Light bullets" denote spatiotemporal solitons self-trapped in 3D (x, y, t if z denotes the propagation direction in a bulk medium), as introduced by Y. Silberberg, Opt. Lett. 15, 1282 (1990).
20. Trapped states of this kind, however, were known long before in plasma, see J.I. Gersten and N. Tzoar, Phys. Rev. Lett. 35, 934 (1975)

22. "Bulletts" are used also to denote spatio-temporal trapping of waves of different origin, e.g., spin waves, M. Bauer, O. Buttner, S.O. Demokritov, B. Hillebrands, V. Grimalsky, Y. Rapoport, and A.N. Slavin, ibid. 81, 3769 (1998).
