      @masonnasty3293 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I copy pasted my comment from a different video about ball lightning, so context might be backwards
      So what I've pieced together so far is it may require the rare positive lightning strike environment. (as opposed to 90% of lightning strikes being negative) Additionally when it strikes, if the environment is suitable for something about "microwave radiation" this ball of lightning could form. People have mentioned specifically kitchens seeing it come through the windows? It's also mentioned trace metals may be necessary for the environment. It was mentioned about a family residing essentially on a hill of iron, claiming to have witnessed it at their home multiple times.
      Ultimately, it seems to be a bizarre form of lightning trying to find it's homeostasis again. Extremely rare chances for the environment and the sub-environment to be suitable for formation. You see people speak about it as if they've seen it with their own eyes. But it's so uncommon and odd, I bet it's hard for people who haven't experienced to considered even believing it exists. I've never experienced this but it sort of logically balances out to me from all I've recently read about. What a wild phenomena!
      This phenomena could be way deeper too, considering the other newly discovered and widely unknown phenomena lightning sprites. Which form way way high into our atmosphere above the clouds of a thunderstorm. They seem to go hand in hand the sprites and thunderstorms, leading me to believe there's a whole system process going on above clouds influencing the weather we see below them. The ball of lightning thing may even be related with sprites somehow.

    There are objects in the sky that we cannot see with the naked eye, when lightning strikes, these objects get overvoltage and from the lower end it strikes like a root system and upwards like the stem and inflorescence of a "plant", the object itself is in the middle. The object itself looks like a striped cylinder, sometimes they fly like that in the sky and they are tangled together, it is possible that they are male objects, which are then around the female object.
