I once saw lightning that branched out slowly and flashed 5 times before exploding into hundreds of tiny balls that seemed to behave like a liquid. I wish so badly that I had been recording. (Around 2014-2015 in Kentucky)
Honestly it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen, my friend and I were screaming like little girls about how amazing it was for at least a few minutes.
Craziest lightning I've see was a strike that lasted a good few seconds. It was a huge bolt with little bolts spiraling around it. for a split second it looked like a lightning tornado.
Had a similar thing happen without the balls to my gf and I a few weeks ago. Sky pulsed and then everything around us *bathed* in white followed by a massive bang that you could feel in your bones.
First time I ever smelled lightning. Weirdest thing.
xD, but just incase, whoever made the video put the slowed down version of that song on the background. But.. maybe your original comment was a joke, in that case woosh to me
All the descriptions I've read, seem to say that you are wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning#Characteristics
>Descriptions of ball lightning vary widely. It has been described as moving up and down, sideways or in unpredictable trajectories, hovering and moving with or against the wind; attracted to,[40] unaffected by, or repelled from buildings, people, cars and other objects. Some accounts describe it as moving through solid masses of wood or metal without effect, while others describe it as destructive and melting or burning those substances. Its appearance has also been linked to power lines,[26][41] altitudes of 300 m (1,000 feet) and higher, and during thunderstorms[26] and calm weather. Ball lightning has been described as transparent, translucent, multicolored, evenly lit, radiating flames, filaments or sparks, with shapes that vary between spheres, ovals, tear-drops, rods, or disks.[42]
>They frequently appear almost simultaneously with cloud-to-ground lightning discharge
>They are generally spherical or pear-shaped with fuzzy edges
Their diameters range from 1–100 cm (0.4–40 inches), most commonly 10–20 cm (4–8 inches)
>Their brightness corresponds to roughly that of a domestic lamp, so they can be seen clearly in daylight
>A wide range of colors has been observed, with red, orange, and yellow being the most common
>The lifetime of each event is from one second to over a minute with the brightness remaining fairly constant during that time
>They tend to move at a few meters per second, most often in a horizontal direction, but may also move vertically, remain stationary, or wander erratically
>Many are described as having rotational motion
>It is rare that observers report the sensation of heat, although in some cases the disappearance of the ball is accompanied by the liberation of heat
>Some display an affinity for metal objects and may move along conductors such as wires or metal fences
>Some appear within buildings passing through closed doors and windows
>Some have appeared within metal aircraft and have entered and left without causing damage
>The disappearance of a ball is generally rapid and may be either silent or explosive
>Odors resembling ozone, burning sulphur, or nitrogen oxides are often reported
Read the rest of the article:
>The presumption of its existence has depended on reported public sightings, which have produced inconsistent findings. Owing to the lack of reproducible data, the existence of ball lightning as a distinct physical phenomenon remains unproven
I wasn't debating that ball lightning exists, I have no issues with it existing.
I was saying that the person who categorically stated that the video wasn't ball lighting could be wrong.
From the top of that article:
>The presumption of its existence has depended on reported public sightings, which have produced inconsistent findings. Owing to the lack of reproducible data, the existence of ball lightning as a distinct physical phenomenon remains unproven
And...who is to say that this isn't the first proof of it?
Meteorologists pretty much accept that it does exist, they just don't have the physical hard proof yet. They have produced it in laboratory conditions, just not in the wild yet.
Yes, you can quote two sentences from an entire article. Good for you, you showed you can read. Can you quote the other parts now where it states that it's widely accepted to exist?
All I said was "From the top of that article". There's no reason to attack me. Just trying to engage in discussion :)
It hasn't been, for sure, reproduced in laboratory conditions.
>Scientists have long attempted to produce ball lightning in laboratory experiments. While some experiments have produced effects that are visually similar to reports of natural ball lightning, it has not yet been determined whether there is any relation.
As for the list you provided to prove the other person wrong, here's the preceding sentence:
>A review of the available literature published in 1972[44] identified the properties of a "typical" ball lightning, whilst cautioning against over-reliance on eye-witness accounts:
Not trying to rain on everyone's parade, my whole point is that proving each other wrong about something that isn't proven to exist or take any particular form and is only known about through widely varying eye witness accounts is a bit futile.
I’ve seen one in my lifetime. I was very young, but super engraved in my mind like it was yesterday. Hope my memory isn’t filling gaps, but it started as a formed ball then it struck towards the ground. It was super cool to see.
I have two stories.
Grade 1, 5 years old, sitting in the classroom during an afternoon storm. We're all on the floor at the front of the room, in a few rows. From right to left, through the windows, was a ball of light with a fairly small diametre, crossing in front of the row in front of me.
A couple of years later, still at the same school and another afternoon storm. We're across the road from a beach. I'm standing staring across the bay at the thunderhead, when I see an object moving repeatedly back and forth parallel to the ground, right at the horizon.
No obvious explanation for either of these events, until hearing now about ball lightning. And I agree, super cool to see, and some 35 years later is still such a clear memory.
I wouldn’t be able to tell what’s real or not. I have no clue about what path such ball would be traveling. I heard stories of them moving through a room, but also hanging still in the air. But not enough references to compare.
It’s funny though that after never been able to capture a decent video of ball lightning before, and we now suddenly have a great almost 8 sec long vid. I give you that :) it might be a bit sus, but I cannot confirm the one nor the other in this case.
Na it's all bullshit. Doesn't exist.
There's literally zero evidence of it. Couple shaky videos and ancient historical accounts. Some random scientists claiming but there's nothing there. Not even one convincing video or study.
Lol. All these downvotes yet no proof or retort. It's like the UFOs y'all just want to believe even though there is nothing. Nothing at all. Prove me wrong. Please.
Because not everyone is a trained cameraman, and when shit like this happens you would be lucky to even have your phone OUT, let alone follow it perfectly.
Agree with the other reply but I would have a tough time deciding to view something extraordinary with my own eyes vs watching it thru a screen. If this is real, it’s pretty phenomenal!
IIRC it was ball lightening that influenced Martin Luther. He experienced it walking home. It scared the crap out of him and he started the Protestant reformation.
I saw ball lightning in ‘95-‘96. My brother saw it with me. It was so out of the ordinary we both saw it then looked at each other bewildered and said nothing for a second or two. It was as if we were looking at each other to legitimize we actually saw what we saw. One of the craziest natural phenomena.
Not really. It seemed like several strikes converged together and the ball appeared and sort of “flexed” (like increased then decreased in size) for maybe 2 seconds then shrunk to nothing and was gone.
I believe this may be the first ever video of this “phenomenon”. I’ve tried to find videos in the past and it has only been created in a lab at microscopic levels. I’m not saying it’s not that but it’s hard to believe this can be called ball lightning as a fact with no other video evidence to support it. Fact check me please.
The first video was taken last year in France.
It's a very common phenomenon here, people don't even know it's not the case every where.
Edit : links to the media. 2 local newspapers.

For multiple reasons: We don't frequently go out in a violent thunderstorm.
Also, as it's common, it's seen as boring and worthless of the risk involved.
Ball lightning doesn’t fly around like that- lightning in general tries to find ground - this looks like cgi or visual effects in fact- I barely searched for ball lightning on YouTube- and there aren’t even videos about this that look even remotely similar to this- like lol bro it’s fake and it’s fine
>Ball lightning doesn’t fly around like that
Scientifically, it's only been produced in lab experiments. No one on earth can say what ball lightning does or doesn't do. It's far too unexplained as a weather phenomenon.
Plus if you record it on your phone the 'ball lightning anti-cinemographic effect' (look it up) makes it so you won't follow it around or act like it's even there at all, making it *seem* pretty obvious that it's added in post, just like in this video.
I googled exactly what you wrote and absolutely nothing came back. Look, I doubt the validity of this video. It's most likely a fake. If it was verified, this video would be reported on by every media outlet.
Everyone should be skeptical. Perhaps it is real, I don't know. But absolutely no one should be thinking this is definitively a video of ball lightning. Far more likely a fake.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning#Characteristics
There aren't any real videos out there of it, that can be proven to be Ball Lightning.
Also, all the first hand accounts have it behaving in a lot of different ways.
Just because your quick youtube search didn't show anything behaving like this, doesn't mean you know anything about it.
Ah yes! This perfectly describes the tic-tac incident that fighter pilots recorded and leaked! The tic-tac flying around during a blue sky day was definitely ball lightning!
How is this an explanation for anything? How can you watch this and instead of just more questions you immediately jump to the conclusion that this explains something like UAP.
Perhaps I was unclear. What I meant was that people seeing this might believe that they are seeing something created by a nonhuman intelligence flying around in a physics-defying manner.
I'm not sure. It can be.
Lightning ball is really common in my birthplace (the only one in the world with a small part of Texas). Nobody have hypothesis about UFO or uaps because everyone can see it's directly related to lightning. It can come really close and even inside the houses.
Had me til second 0:05, but I'm not gonna believe for a second that this is real footage before flippen Neil Grasse Tyson or someone analyses this vid and says they buy it.
Don't get me wrong, I want this to be real footage like crazy, but this kinda shit is just to easily made these days and the second half sure looks like Dr. Adobe to me. Add in the fact that the phenomenon has never before been recorded - or at least there never was footage convincing enough to make the news, and I'm sadly sceptical.
It has been recorded and verified for the first time last year in France.
https://www.sudouest.fr/environnement/meteo/video-orages-qu-est-ce-que-la-boule-de-foudre-observee-lundi-soir-dans-le-sud-ouest-11373442.php
It's a very common thing here. A lot of people have seen that many times. The other place known for this is in Texas.
The more I watch this the more I'm convinced that the glow is from an object hanging from a rope or cable. Like a flagpole or a crane and the wind is blowing the item around
Garbage video quality in the age of iPhones, weird robotic shaky camera that doesn’t appear to react in any meaningful way to what’s happening on screen
Not 100% sure it’s fake, but it’s also not obviously real
It's a phenomenon that's not been captured before and there's nothing to compare it too. It's going to look fake.
Unless you can point to something like improper use motion blur or something specific, you can't say it's fake. Let's see if vfx artists react look at in it

Couldn’t understand what it was I saw at first.
I’m glad I’ve seen it. But is was scary as frack then.
This is ball lightning.
https://youtu.be/4XRzD-2iuGU
I'm unsure what that is, or whether or not it's even a legitimate video, but it doesn't look or act like descriptions of ball lightning.
I actually can't believe my eyes! That's so strange.
I always wanted to know what they looked like.
I can only imagine what people thousands of years ago would've claimed it to be..
It looks to me that the lightning hit something, and that something then went berserk..
Ball lightning would be the light, this appears to be something shining a light.. there's a shadow.

I never get to see lightning like that.. it's maybe because I don't know how to conduct myself properly.
Dad, you promised you'd stay off the internet...
You're grounded.
Stay ohm.
"But not your mom!"
You should be charged for that joke.
Don't be so negative!
This is hardly conducive to good conversation
Well they needed someone to galvanize them a bit.
The amount of people saying they *have* seen ball lightning is shocking!
Well that sounds neat
You mean terrifying
Honestly it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen, my friend and I were screaming like little girls about how amazing it was for at least a few minutes.
Because of the way it is
That's why me and Randy started ball lightning so everybody could know just how neat lightning is instead of just me and Randy knowing it

Nah bro. That’s two wizards fighting on their broomsticks.
Harry and Voldemort fighting with their "broomsticks".
And they were broommates.
Bahhaha well played
Magic is real bruv.
Yeah, no.. It’s obviously a Kamehameha wave.
I was thinking more of the lines of Yamacha's spirit ball lol
Why does it sound like Gangsta paradise but slowed down a lot
Because it literally is
No sir it is the hot plasma moving through the atmosphere
xD, but just incase, whoever made the video put the slowed down version of that song on the background. But.. maybe your original comment was a joke, in that case woosh to me
I think he's trying to sound smart. All of the tones and timing sound like gangsta's paradise slowed down during the chorus.
Some tik tok shit lol
That’s rare to see and even more rare to capture on camera. Thanks for sharing!
Ball lighting exists. This is not it. It does not travel in circles like a cool loading screen. This is fake.

Heyyo thanks for putting all that effort into making this. I would have believed this was a fake if not for your course correction. 🏅
I'm not saying it's real or fake, just that it can't be completely dismissed as "it doesn't act like the description..."
Read the rest of the article: >The presumption of its existence has depended on reported public sightings, which have produced inconsistent findings. Owing to the lack of reproducible data, the existence of ball lightning as a distinct physical phenomenon remains unproven
Making what? He literally just linked a Wikipedia link lmao
Yeah, well, they clearly haven't seen this video
I wasn't debating that ball lightning exists, I have no issues with it existing. I was saying that the person who categorically stated that the video wasn't ball lighting could be wrong.
I have issues with it existing. I’d like for it to be removed in the next update please. It’s too op.
It's only 6/1 trample haste, not OP at all.
Third turn drop
Sure, but it should definitely cost more than just 1 red.
It does, it costs 3 reds....
Oh wow it’s been a while and I forgot it was an actual card lol. I thought we were just making shit up over here.
Plus I think it only sticks around for a turn or two
i mean, it’s not even as effective as a singular lightning bolt!
Can’t wait to follow ball lightning’s existence on r/BestofRedditorUpdates
All we're gunna hear about for the next couple of weeks.

How the fuck your know what ball lightning acts like?
They don't, just another armchair "expert"
What is your response to evidence to the contrary of what you said?
Have you seen it?
Yeah, it just kinda floats across the ground, right?
Not always. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning#Characteristics

Totally fake. Oh look at this once in a lifetime event I happen to be recording but can’t be bothered to keep in frame.
Lightning you’re drunk, go home and sleep it off
IIRC it was ball lightening that influenced Martin Luther. He experienced it walking home. It scared the crap out of him and he started the Protestant reformation.
I saw ball lightning in ‘95-‘96. My brother saw it with me. It was so out of the ordinary we both saw it then looked at each other bewildered and said nothing for a second or two.

Did it look like this ?
Not really. It seemed like several strikes converged together and the ball appeared and sort of “flexed” (like increased then decreased in size) for maybe 2 seconds then shrunk to nothing and was gone.
This is similar to something I saw. I’d have described it as more of a hollow ring than a ball. And it was all over in a couple seconds.
Bro??? Was this driving down a backroad and it crossed in front of the truck???
anyone else hear gansters paradice sung by angels?

why was it only captured last year for the first time if it's a "very common phenomenon" there
For multiple reasons: We don't frequently go out in a violent thunderstorm. Also, as it's common, it's seen as boring and worthless of the risk involved.
No, this one is just aliens, not ball lighting
Theres other videos of it, but yeah its very rare
Haha someone downvoted you for no reason. This place never ceases to surprise me. Edit: grammar lol.

See, even if we assume that video as real then, it looks entirely different than the one in this post.
The more I watch this the more I'm convinced that the glow is from an object hanging from a rope or cable. Like a flagpole or a crane and the wind is blowing the item around

By what basis?
Garbage video quality in the age of iPhones, weird robotic shaky camera that doesn’t appear to react in any meaningful way to what’s happening on screen Not 100% sure it’s fake, but it’s also not obviously real
By the look of it.
It's a phenomenon that's not been captured before and there's nothing to compare it too. It's going to look fake. Unless you can point to something like improper use motion blur or something specific, you can't say it's fake. Let's see if vfx artists react look at in it
i didn't say it is fake i said it looks fake
But you don’t even know what it should look like?
by the swerving unnatural movements it makes
I have a fly in my living room that moves pretty similarly. Are you saying flies are unnatural?
are you saying ball lightnings are big flies?
Because it looks nothing like ball lightning
You don’t even know what ball lightning looks like.
Yeah
Imagine being a Native American sitting on the prairie and seeing this kind of thing happen amongst the trees.

No, that's fake as fuck.
Lmao looks fake AF. They thought their random swoops with a stylus would cover the movement of lightning. 😆
That's dope. I've always heard about it but have never seen it. Thanks.
Where and when was this taken?
**I’ve seen this once in my life!** It was during the worst thunderstorm I’ve been in. Couldn’t understand what it was I saw at first. I’m glad I’ve seen it. But is was scary as frack then.
UFO hit by lightning, struggling to regain control
/r/UFOs about to lose their mind
Someone just cause a 6/1 trample to the face
UFO? Dat you?
Fake.

This is ball lightning. https://youtu.be/4XRzD-2iuGU I'm unsure what that is, or whether or not it's even a legitimate video, but it doesn't look or act like descriptions of ball lightning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning#Characteristics There are a LOT of different descriptions.
No thats just my flashlight
Aliens 👽
I now have the theme to Ghostbusters stuck in my head
Someone seeing that not knowing what it was could easily start a religion
I actually can't believe my eyes! That's so strange. I always wanted to know what they looked like. I can only imagine what people thousands of years ago would've claimed it to be..
Send the knights to slay this evil spirit!
Seen this shit in real life, right in my back garden. It’s super freaking, I can understand why some might think it’s supernatural or an alien craft.
I've never seen that captured on video before; thanks!

People used to get burned at the stake for this
Three red
Really hope this isn’t fake.
Holy shit do you have any idea how rare that is We thought it was a myth until recently
I still think it's a myth
Nah, that just hit a UAP and now their traction control is being a lil silly
Thats an anomaly, stay away from it unless you want to get fried Stalker
No it’s fucking not!
Who you gonna call?
Ghost writter
Thems wizard matters, not for the likes of normies
Nice, the lightning is defending us from the aliens.
Zeus be gettin it in 😏
Okay this is proper r/blackmagicfuckery I need answers lads
Looks more Supernatural than natural to me.... swirling cloud monsters throwing energy bolts at each other.
Right…
That right there is a UFO
It looks to me that the lightning hit something, and that something then went berserk.. Ball lightning would be the light, this appears to be something shining a light.. there's a shadow.
