@@norwegiansmores811 Except there are reports of the phenomena going back to the 1200s. I have seen it move across the sky and some extended familie saw it bounce on top of they're shed on another occasion 12 years earlier.
We had this happen in our house when I was in primary school, we'd left the front door open and ball lightning came across the balcony, through the front door, into my grandmas lounge room and fried her TV. I still remember seeing a big ball of white light moving slowly past the windows on the side of the house and a strange static noise, I had nightmares for months afterwards.
Omg This happened to my mother a year ago came through an open patio door and b lined it for her tv fried it then diaper with a explosive bang Not one stich of burnt material or evidence. We thought she was clearly nuts and put her in a psychiatric home.
I had my first experience with ball lightning just a few years ago. I was sitting in my apartment on my L-shaped sectional couch watching TV. I was sitting in the corner of the couch wedged in and cozy just watching a program when something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was the camera flash on my phone that blinks when I have a notification but instinctively the moment I saw it my hand reached out to feel around the couch and find my phone and it was beside me. All within a matter of a couple of seconds I looked over my shoulder and behind me which is where it was coming from. I saw a little less than a baseball sized ball of bluish pink hazy plasma rolling across the carpet. I was literally paralyzed with fear/shock as it was moving. Within a second or two it dissipated and when it disappeared it made the exact same sound as when we touch our fingers to a door knob after we’ve walked across the carpet in our socks. That little tick sound of static electricity. The logical side of me instantly tried to deduce a reason why I just saw what I did. If it was purely coincidental, there was an outlet on the back wall behind me in the dining room area. I thought that maybe it was just some kind of electrical discharge and it came out of that outlet and rolled across the carpet and then disappeared. But I really don’t know. All I know, is that I was completely frozen with shock when I was witnessing it. It was completely unexpected and absolutely nothing I have ever imagined ever seeing or even wanting to see. But I saw it with my own eyes. I’ve heard a couple of stories over the years but I never really paid attention to them until it happened to me. This is a very real thing.
About 20 years ago while I was living in a cabin on the Roanoke River in the woods in North Carolina my mom and I were sitting at our kitchen table. There was a very bad thunderstorm going on outside and a ball of lightening flew in through our sliding glass doors, went right between my mom and I and slammed into our gas stove. It was the most insane thing I have ever seen. We both just could not believe what happened. During the storm it was so bad, there were balls of lightening shooting across the sky. It looked like someone was playing baseball over the river. Wish I would have had a way to video it back then but will never forget it!
Literally see I work to find out what ball lightning iss... so please you people who say that you witnessed that thing please be specific don’t make it complex for us and tell specifically what “actually” happened
@@mahatvakaushik6063 I saw one. Just floated in the room and hovered there for a while. Then it zoomed off at unbelievable speed which caused my door to slam.
I saw a similar instance once when I was younger. I was up in Northern Michigan at my grandparents house. Same scenario, hardcore thunderstorm etc. We were eating lunch at the dining room table, my grandma sitting across from me and grandpa at the head of the table. A ball of bluish white light came through their large front windows facing the lake and shot directly between my grandma and I at my grandpa and then disappeared before hitting him. It was followed by an ENORMOUS thunder clap that rocked the hanging light over the table literally. The pastor at their church less than 10 miles away also told us he saw a similar ball of light during the same storm come in through the church office window, into his computer that was on the nearby desk and fried it.
Back in 2000 or so when I was a kid my best friend's dad told me and him a story about how he experienced ball lightning as a child. He described it exactly like these folks. He was home alone and a storm was rolling in. He went into the kitchen when there was a loud crack and a ball of lightning appeared over the sink and drifted into the room towards him but then suddenly darted off to a nearby power outlet and vanished leaving a burnt smell behind.
This happened to my great grandmother in the 70s. During a storm, ball lightning shot out one of her electrical outlets and rolled across the floor, leaving a burn mark across the carpet several feet long and disappearing right before it hit the wall.
asadd2 same but he was on a field with his older brother the ball was just floating there but it suddenly flew towards them and my grandpa said he kicked it and that it cracked his wooden shoes in the process
the one i saw i remember being much smaller. It was a rainy day in the late 90s. Bad thunderstorm out. I was laid on the carpet infront of the fireplace watching t.v. Lightning struck very close and we lost power. Seconds later, the t.v. and some lighting came back on. I jumped up to turn off the t.v. but it wouldn't turn off. Then i noticed light coming out of the chimney. Seconds later i watch a ball of light descend out of the stack and stop about a foot off the ground. It then began lurching forward directly at me, passing through an iron wood-burning stove. When it emerged from the other side, it was about 2' away from me, when it just disappeared with a loud pop. No sparks, no shower or nothing. Just there, then not. The t.v. and the lights died again and apparently it shocked my brother, who was touching the refrigerator in the kitchen at that exact time. My brother didn't see it, but i remember just being absolutely petrified with fear. Completely unable to move. We're talking about 7 seconds or less that i was actually looking at it.
@@asadd2 Same thing happened me when i was 4 years old (near closer to 5 years old but i remember this is well becasue i was super shocked) and i was on balcony and watching outside while my mom cooking dinner, weather was very cloudy and dark at afternoon , there is no thunderstorm or rain happened atm , mine was blue like turkuaz color and it was moving slowly in air ,changing brightness ,changing color tone between blue and turkuaz colors , it was like pale and perfect sphere size of 25-30 cm , its slowly moved and got into side wall of a apartment like noting happened . i was shocked and freaked as a kid ,after it gone i run away insantly run to my mom and told what i just saw. my mom said : you dreamed (perfect translation is to english : you hallucinated)- and ingored me like kids usally bullshitting when they was super young. All after years i was reading book about life of Nikola Tesla and after while i was trying to understand and searcing plasma ball and accidentally type wrong and this image just pooped up lol . and found a scientist or prossefor that researching about lightining balls sadly i cant find his rich work now . hope this will be usefull information .
My dad was told this happened when he was a baby in 1940s. It came down the chimney and rolled out the back door. Apparently he went ridgid in his mother's arms.
I experienced this when I was a kid, about 30 years ago. The ball of light I saw had a warm hue however, not blue and no typical lightning bolt like features. It floated above me and floated away after I reached out to touch it. I’ll never forget it.
you were probably lucky enough to have some sort of different charge that deflects it or something, most people say it goes into TVs and outlets, sometimes even follows them
Sometime in to 60s or early 70s, my father and several of his brothers and sisters saw a ball of crackling light go straight through their front screen door, through their living room and it burnt a spot on the side of their upright piano! He said it was like a huge sparkler.
@@maxdecphoenix It shouldn't be able to kill you so there's no need to be afraid, just don't stand next to it as I believe ball lightning can sometimes destabilise and explode
@@theshermantanker7043 well, i'll be sure to go back in time 25 years and let myself know... thanks for sharing such a valuable opinion. A real contribution this was.
I saw ball lightning when I was a kid. I remember it was 108 F that day and we had a thunderstorm in the afternoon. I was in our den and a bright purply ball came right in through the window (it was closed). It seemed to float down almost to the floor and across the room and disappeared into the electric socket. I had nightmares about lightning all the way into my 30s because of that. Silent but terrifying!
Michelle, I know a woman who lives in upstate New York who is now in her 90s, who is afraid of lightning and thunderstorms. When I asked her why, she told me she once saw “lightning” come into her family kitchen, going from one side of the room to the other and traveling up the ironing board her mother was using and then back down. She said it didn’t harm her mother, but ever since then she’s afraid of lightning getting into the house and always disconnects everything electrical when it starts raining outside, just to be safe from it. She didn’t actually use the term “ball lightning”, , but from what she described and how it made its way around the house, it sure sounded like it. And she was dead serious when she told me about it.
@@tracymatherson8174 When it happened, I didn't know what to call it. I just knew it was electrical, because you can't mistake that ominous glow for anything else! And I was pretty sure it was "looking for me". I thought maybe it was an alien or an alien probe, lol. Guess I watched too much science fiction with my big bro.
This exact thing happened when I was a baby except the ball came out of the TV instead of going into it. A thunderstorm was raging when a fireball came roaring through the TV & exploded. Not believing what they saw, my mom & grandma sat there and it happened AGAIN! The TV was burnt up & they ran out of there with the quickness. Said it was terrifying.
We had some elderly neighbors when I was very young (early 90's), and I remember them tell my parents that this exact thing happened. Ball of light came out of the TV during a storm, hit the opposite wall and exploded/disappeared. The TV wouldn't work after that.
@@paulfrewzy7374 Yeah ...I was in Chicago during thunder storm. I lived on top floor. Big lightning flash and it descended down through ceilings. I was sleeping so it was dark. Being woken up to a crackling ball of lightning was a trip
@@whitejillybeanNo worries. Wow East Coast I'm on the East Coast as well in Boston. Thanks for sharing that with us. I would imagine seeing something like that in person would appear to be somewhat of biblical proportions.
@brianthomas it was something neat to see. I was actually in a tee shirt shop talking to a friend at the desk when a huge lightning bolt hit around 100 yards away. Right after that a transformer blew and I looked out the window at this blue ball of light strolling down the walkway. It came through the window where we were standing. He was beside his computer and it popped into the tv screen above his head producing a huge blue light all around. He couldn’t see it directly, except the reflection in the window, but felt the pop and saw the blue light after it seemed to explode. It was so cool. Illuminated him and it sort of sent a jolt through both of us. My finger tips were numb for a good bit. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.

My father lived in Italy when he was a kid and they had this often in storms according to him. They basically danced from an electrical outlet to another etc.
@@Tempusverum That's what I'm thinking. Reading all these stories of a rare occurrence. There has to be something to it regarding the conditions. Possibly wiring codes or lack of may play a role in the equation?
My friend was over staying the night a few years ago during a hot summer night. We were just about to doze off when we opened our eyes to a baseball sized light floating slowly from the ceiling and almost hovering. In shock we were silent. It zipped away thru a closed window and when we both turned our heads to follow It out it was then we realized we weren't crazy and had both seen the same thing. Minutes later a thunderstorm broke out and we lost power. No one believed us. No bang, no boom, no fire. Just a staticky light.
@@breannamacaluso4836 geez that was crazy, ive seen a blue one come through my ceiling and zip back up like a wall was invisible, but ppl describe it like they can travel down halls and move right or left like intelligently which is very strange. Btw that comment before me, pathetic mommy's basement virgin
When the nazis took over the Sudetenland in the 1930s they took down all the gold tipped lightning rods and replaced them with aluminum ones, my mom said during a lightning storm she saw the lightning hit one of these new lightning rods and form a ball rolling down the rain pipe out to the meadow.
Today was the 2nd time in my life. I've seen ball lightning a decade apart from each other. Both times I was the only person to see it and, and people think you're crazy trying to describe it
A far family member of me had this. They left a window open while it was thundering outside. Then a lightning bolt went under the window hitting the wal and bouncing through the room. Really scary
I had seen a ball lighting about 30 yrs ago right outside my family's patio door and when I shut the door on it, it popped/vanished and suddenly there was a very loud explosion that shook the building. I'm pretty positive that the explosion was thunder because of the rolling sound that it was making. For a long time I was confused as to what it was but now I know.
I bet most people just never had a place to report it and didn’t tell anyone because they didn’t want people to think they were crazy. Happened to me, I saw it as a kid and told few people about it.
My family has a similar story except my grandma and my mom (when she was a child) were in the dining room during a thunderstorm and ball lightning flew through the WINDOW SCREEN and flew into the middle of the room and burnt up the ceiling fan. Crazy story
Same thing happened to me too, Long time ago in Taiwan. I was a kid. I saw a bright ball (about the size of a softball ) hovering into my home from one window, traveling across the living room and left the house from a different window. I was the only person home when this happened.
When I was a child, I was up early one morning and there was a thunderstorm outside. I heard a loud noise at the window and saw a ball of lightening come in the window. It went down the wall, rolled along the floor and I saw it go down the heat register on the floor. It was the size of a volleyball and rolled less than a foot from me. It was fire color. Didn't think it was odd until I mentioned it to my parents a long time afterwards and they were asking all kinds of questions.
This happened to me as a teenager with some friends in Iowa. Actually in a house too. Scared us all to death. We didn’t know what it was at all. Their description is perfect.
Happened in my grandparents house, maybe in the '60s. Description is the same. Can't recall exactly the details but it apparently came through the front door, and since all doors were in line, it went through the hall and kitchen and out of the back door.
Happened in the UK appeared in a garden, travellee through a door into a kitchen and imploded. Scared the crap out of my old man as it was following his after he was getting the washing in when a storm was breaking.
This is actually how puberty happens. One night when you're asleep ball lightning actually creeps in and zaps your body into evolving to its final form! Its always at like 2 or 3am tho so no one is ever around to see it!
Hadn’t thought about this in years, our experience similar around 2000. In our cottage in Ontario during a bad thunderstorm. It just suddenly appeared in living room about 5 feet off floor, a white glowing sphere about basketball size. It hovered there about 3 seconds then vanished when lightning hit very close by. 4 sober adults witnessed it, including 2 engineers who would normally be skeptical about such things. Incredible.
I seen one when I was about 6 years old during the day around 1980 also, I will never forget it. It was 3 or 4 meters from me and it was just hovering in one spot for about 10 seconds then it died out. I check youtube every now and then hoping someone films one close up as everyone carries smart phones these days.
@@_John_P It's too hard to tell from that footage. The one I saw was the size of a basketball and hovering slightly up and down, breathing in size (slightly expanding/contracting) then it just fizzled out, as if it had burnt out.
My father and sister witnessed it together in our hoke 40 years ago also. Similar to their description, also it moved through walls (entering and exiting the house) seemingly unaffected. It was silent, and moved in a straight line at the same speed similar to walking pace.
I had one in my house yesterday absolutely the same time as a clap of thunder... I can not tell you how shocked I was ... I was on the lap top at the time taking calls
My grandma has warned me about it since childhood apparently she had an encounter with it when she was younger, they were having dinner during a thunderstorm and it entered through the window eventually leaving though an electric socket. To this day always closes all the windows and shuts the chimney during thunderstorms
When I was 3 years old,ist was in 1983 me and my sister had to tidy up my room in the basement.My sister was 6 years old,I remember there was a thunderstorm outside and it was pitch black outside.Our parents where in the upper floor making Dinner in the kitchen...then suddenly a bright shining blue ball went outside the basement steelstairs down stoped in front of the window outside beeing tall as a soccer ball....my sister and me had fear of death and we armed each other....then the ball dissolved spontaniosly ...after that we could hear the sound of a thunder ....we went up to our parents telling them what we saw....they where like it is late you both have to go to bed.They dindnt believed us what we saw. I know what I saw and when I ask my older sister today she always remember herself of this phenomenom what we both saw... It was scary and wondeful to see...never saw that again
Yesterday I met my parents and I asked my mother if she Could remember of that event when me and my sister saw that Lightning ball....she answerd „yes I do remember me of that lightning ball,she told me that she had seen it outside in the frontgarden before it went down the steel stairs to my basement room....so I have got 2 other persons that had seen it and I know now it was not an illusion....
I have never seen this but believe it is real. Plasma balls can be created in a lab. Hypothetically ball lightning from nature might be the result of similar forces, but maybe not. We just don't know yet. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
They are exist ,i saw one like 15 years ago ,and is very real and it's like have life inside ,because she entered in house on window and i was in bed i almost slept and i saw how she's going on another room ,and came on the same way and left on window ,i don't lie ,i don't have a reason to do that ,i just want to believe me ,because many people saw this balls ,it's real like God is real and someone don't believe ,but you willl see, Jesus Christ is our Lord .
from all the reports i heard it seems like the balls seek electrical stuff... many people have reported that the thing chases after them... that's so spooky
My mom would tell me story her mother would tell her. Great uncle who drive horse buggy on way home after dark experience what was thought to be ghost but now I know. It possibly ball lightning. It was following the uncle and uncle saw it. It was red and bouncing following him. He got scared and speed the horse up. The light still seem to follow before disappearing. Got home and wife has said he look pale white. Hmm
Saw this in Berlin in summer of 2008 one evening at twilight, but there was no storm at all....clear skies and calm weather....it glided across the tree tops and was a bright amber colour, flashing like a strobe light, the size of a beach ball and completely silent.
@@_John_P It slowly meandered out of sight behind some trees, travelling in a south-west direction. I was at an intersection next to a park and was only able to observe it for about 10 seconds before it was out of my view. It was a ball of pure plasma, extremely intense and flashing very rapidly like an amber-coloured strobe light.
@@_John_P Yes, pretty much identical to what I saw, especially when it comes in lower to the buildings. The object I saw was just above the treetops travelling at about the same speed as this object. It seemed to be crossing over the area at a slow, methodical pace.
I’m 40, my grandmother was born in the teens. When I was small boy she told me about seeing a ball of lightning come door her chimney and exit out the screen door. Until the age of the internet, her account was the only time I’d ever heard of ball lightning.
Had one come through my place right before a major snowstorm (I used to live in the mountains). Came right through my window, floated up to the ceiling rolled and disappeared. I sat and watched the whole thing. I freaked out and called my friend lol. It’s also called St. Elmo’s Fire 😊
So this is what it is. I saw it in my backyard after a thunderstorm and it went by our house and it disappeared next to something that I don’t know the name for but it’s some electric thing the electrician uses to check it
My grandmother while growing up in turn of the 20th century rural Ohio had ball lightning pass through their house, not having air conditioning at the time, both the front and back door were open, she said it came in the front door and right out the back.
It happened to me when I was a kid. Sitting at the dinner table, a huge blue ball of bright light came through our dining room picture window, floated over the table for a few seconds and then shot down the hallway and through the wall at the end of the hall. We all just sat there for a bit looking at each other. Now I finally know what it really was. 👍
I too witnessed ball lightning. It was during a thunderstorm, and a ball of electricity suddenly appeared before us and floated through our home. It was there for about 3 minutes. It was about the size of a basketball, glowing bright as electric. My sister and I watched this thing for a few minutes, a few feet away from us, until it hit a wall and exploded and was gone.
Happened to me as a teen in late 70s or 80s. I don't recall thunderstorms at the time. I was sitting on the floor reading a book with my back to the wall in the dining room. This room had a large double glass door. I didnt see where the lightning ball, about the size of a soccer ball, originated. I noticed the light and watched it roll, more like floating, across the dining room floor, a few inches above the floor. I did not move as it went beside me, down the hallway, into a large central heating/air register. It traveled down the register and I heard my dog yelp out. He must have been laying in the basement beside the unit. Told my parents when they returned home and my mother said she saw something like that once in a field. On recall, it's amazing I wasn't scared. Wasn't much information on the subject at the time, before the internet.
I once saw a bright bolt of lightning on a cloudless bright sunny day. I half wondered what I'd seen, until maybe 10 seconds later there was a loud crash of thunder. I'm now over 60 years old, and that's the only strange lightning I've ever witnessed.
It's also mentioned in story books that were originally printed in the early 1900s. The first time I ever heard of it was in Laura Ingalls Wilder's book "On the Banks of Plum Creek". A couple of them came down their stovepipe and were attracted to knitting needles. Then they just disappeared and they had no idea what it was.
Michelle Jones yes, they’re also attracted to knitting needles. Anything metal with a negative attraction. If it’s a tv or computer, it will fly into and usually total them.
@@Tempusverum i watched one descend out a chimney and pass through an iron wood-burning stove like it wasn't even there. I thought it was coming for me. I would have ran, but i was petrified with utter fear. It exploded about two feet away and must have discharged because my brother in the kitchen screamed out at the same second saying the refrigerator shocked him. It destroyed no electronics though. From what i can tell, mine had actually energized the t.v. and some lights because they turned off again as soon as it disappeared. For like 25-years i have thought it disappeared and shocked my brother, but now i'm wondering if when my brother touched the fridge it created a stronger ground that destroyed the ball.
Here in de west of belgium, every oldery saw one in there life. They just open all the windows and just leave it alone. Now it is very rare to see one.
When I was 7 or 8 years old and my family living in a small house. My mom and dad and our next door neighbors sitting in the tiny kitchen. I was in the living room, suddenly the kitchen lit up with the bright light. I come running in all four adults eyes were huge! They said a ball of lightning came out of the oven that they were sitting in front of took a 90° turn to the left and went out the window AC. What's kind of amazing the appliances sustained no damages!
This also happened to me in my mothers house before she died, I kept wandering Could it have bn of paranormal/Supernatural like nature it came from a lamp across the room to her fire place were she had her family's crucifix then just as fast back into the lamp beside her I'm so glad she seen it also or I could have bn questioning myself
Paul Scotty Frewzy Frew One orb appeared in my grandmother’s trailer. It zapped in one end and out the other, but didn’t cause any damage. It was big and round, looked like a Tesla sphere. We didn’t have iphones yet, couldn’t record it
My grandmother in Sydney experienced it, about 50 years ago I think. She said a ball of lightning about basketball size burst straight through the flyscreen door at the front and floated through the house and out the back door, also through the fly-wire too I think she said. Very rarely experienced.
This happened to my grandparents in the 60's it rolled through thier home and left once my grandad opened the back door then it rolled out. Unfortunately it petrified my nan forever. She was fearful of any thunderstorm after that
When I was a kid in the 70's. I saw this phenomenon. I was standing at the front door and saw a red ball with a corkscrew tail. It approached the house. I steppped back into the hallway and it came into the house. I stepped back even further and it approached me. There was nowhere else to for me to go. I was stuck and this thing kept on approaching me. It was level with my stomach and was inches away from me!!! Suddenly it vanished. I've never seen one again since.
Everyone hanging out in the house chatting, having a good time.. *Lightning ball casually rolls through* Lightning ball: “Don’t mind me ya’ll, just gonna watch some TV over here..”
About 40 yrs ago I lived in a cottage on top of the hill overlooking Kyalami race track. On this particular day we were having the usual summers afternoon storm. An hour of thunder lightning and deluge. On this day my friend, a Kiwi fella, and I were were sitting on the couch smoking a joint and watching TV. My girlfriend was in the kitchen. We had unplugged the phone which regularly got hit by lightning. The front door as well the kitchen door were open to let a breeze through. When BANG.... a strike close by.... then out of the telephone jack on the wall shot two yellow balls of fire. They rolled past our outstretched feet by no more than eighteen inches, then through door of the kitchen, and out the open door. It was only my girlfriends squeals that shook us back to our senses. Stoned or not...If it wasn't for the smell of ozone and the burnt plug.... we would never had believed this.
When I used to live in Tucson, Az we would go up to Mt. Lemmon to look out over the city. A couple time we saw ball lighting on the desert floor. A lighting storm was in the distance and hadn't hit yet but the orbs would aluminate and then disappear. They looked like they would be about five ft across and tall and they resembled those Nikola Tesla plasma glass balls you could buy at Spencer's gift store.
OMG! My long dead, grandfather, he was born in 1892, used to tell us a story about a ball of light that went through their house! We believed him, because my grandfather and grandmother, would never lie about anything. We all just thought it was some kind of spirit, or something. Now I know!
Had more or less the exact same the difference, there was an horrendous cracking sound through the house and then this ball appeared as if it came through the window although travelled about shoulder height above my wife who was sitting on the sofa and exited the opposite window with no sound. If I had have been on my own I wouldn’t have believed it however my wife saw the exact same as myself. I googled lightning and apparently lighting can not travel through glass or if it does it shatters the glass with its heat so this makes no sense.
I gotta say as someone that has seen ball "lightening" in his house as a kid. We should be asking HOW it gets into closed houses. People talk about it going through windows... and that is just utterly impossible if you believe that it is made out of compressed air and electricity which modern science claims it is. Air can not go through windows. Electricity, sure maybe. But, beyond that, when I saw it as a kid; I woke up to it hovering 2-3 feet away from me in a closed bedroom. Closed door, closed windows with curtains drawn. It hovered there for a bit then zoomed up and away from me towards where the wall met the ceiling and vanished. It had no smell, no sound just white blue light. Others talk about it coming in through a window, moving right up to them, hovering there for a bit then going back out through the same window..... lightning ain't gonna do that. It's also flat out not going to move around a house like people say it does. It's going to zoom straight into the nearest wall or furniture, or person. It's either not a natural thing OR some people see something natural and some people see something else. ...and btw, I've now seen it twice. The second time was a week ago after I had been watching videos about it on here and talking to a house mate about it earlier in the day (or day before, I don't remember). This time it was outside like a house or two away and I saw it through a window. It Started out above the house and move in an arc down towards the ground and vanished behind a tree. This time I was wide awake, hadn't gone to bed yet. I took awhile to try to figure out if all the various lights outside in the neighborhood could have been what I saw since it happened while I was walking down a hallway and the lights "move" when you move. There are no lights that move the way the ball of light that I saw moved. It was not a stormy or even rainy night. Just cloudy. I don't think I had told anyone about seeing the ball light in my bedroom as a kid until the day I talked to my house mate about it..... and then, bam.. I'm seeing it again. Highly sus.
I never believed these stories until two days ago when I saw and recorded it myself in West VA while camping. I'm in shock still. I saw like 20 of them flying down behind a hill in the forest. Unreal.
Me and my wife saw the same thing back in 2014. Just this morning 11/04/23 my friend said same things happened in his house. Green sparking light that explodes mid air inside the house!!! Here in Africa, we believe it black magic.
This happened to me while I was sitting at my kitchen table. I heard a Tzt-Tzt noise, and looked up, and there was a ball of electricity. It had a white, blue core about the size of a nickle or so, and white, blue tenticles flashing out in every direction just like those balls they sell in stores. It's size was a little bit smaller than a bowling ball, but the edges where they ended where almost invisable. The area inside it was almost like a light blie gray fog, and that is how I could tell the outer edges also, but it was forcefield-like in appearance. It was only there briefly, maybe 2 seconds give or take, and then it simply disappeared (no sound, just gone). I didnt know what it was, so I continued writing without even much thought (I was planning a trip to Colorado and to Arizona, all within 7 days). As I began writing again, I heard the Tzt-Tzt sound again, only off to my right this time. When I looked over, the lightening ball was hovering between my kitchen bar and our pantry, with the blue white electric lines stemming from the center, about 3 1/2 feet from the ground . I sprinted out of the kitchen so fast, 🤣 I about knocked my chair over. I was laughing and scared simultaneously. Right at that time, my sister-on-law came in the front door (her son, my nephew, was going on the trip with us). In my awed excitement, I told her what just happened. She accused me of imagining it. 😡😠 I later was able to prove to her these things actually exist, from seeing them saw them on TH-cam. She seemed unimpressed, but I totally felt vendicated. Lol. 😏😏😏
Imagine just walking though your house only to see a ball of lightning. I would be like "How in the world did that get here"
It can go through walls...
Perhaps.
It can explode so preferably keep your distance
That f**kin ball is a ghost how??
I would just be out of the house in seconds
I literally just learned about ball lighting right now. Im reading these comments and every one of the stories is just totally insane to me.
and completely real because nobody on the internet would lie.
Many people are just making up their own stories
@@norwegiansmores811 Except there are reports of the phenomena going back to the 1200s. I have seen it move across the sky and some extended familie saw it bounce on top of they're shed on another occasion 12 years earlier.
Most of these stories are absolute BS
@@ispamalot ye right
damage is estimated at $10
lmfao
This made me laugh waaay more than it should of lmao
Their GofundMe is at $9.73.. almost there!
I bet she hasn't had a bang in years.
Not quite. I learned that the globular lightning can explode and produce severe damage
We had this happen in our house when I was in primary school, we'd left the front door open and ball lightning came across the balcony, through the front door, into my grandmas lounge room and fried her TV. I still remember seeing a big ball of white light moving slowly past the windows on the side of the house and a strange static noise, I had nightmares for months afterwards.
I'm pressing x
Similar situation happened with me and my mother's house also, Crazy mad experience
It loves knitting needles
Omg This happened to my mother a year ago came through an open patio door and b lined it for her tv fried it then diaper with a explosive bang Not one stich of burnt material or evidence. We thought she was clearly nuts and put her in a psychiatric home.
For real tho what if it sneaks up on you
It probably happens all the time, only people aren't around to see it. Like in the middle of a forest or the trunk of your car or something.
Happened to me but I never told anyone except my mother, bet it happens a lot more than we know because few people report it.
Lol, why would it happen in the trunk of a car tho
It probably happens all the time but people think it's flying saucers.

I had my first experience with ball lightning just a few years ago. I was sitting in my apartment on my L-shaped sectional couch watching TV. I was sitting in the corner of the couch wedged in and cozy just watching a program when something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was the camera flash on my phone that blinks when I have a notification but instinctively the moment I saw it my hand reached out to feel around the couch and find my phone and it was beside me. All within a matter of a couple of seconds I looked over my shoulder and behind me which is where it was coming from. I saw a little less than a baseball sized ball of bluish pink hazy plasma rolling across the carpet. I was literally paralyzed with fear/shock as it was moving. Within a second or two it dissipated and when it disappeared it made the exact same sound as when we touch our fingers to a door knob after we’ve walked across the carpet in our socks. That little tick sound of static electricity. The logical side of me instantly tried to deduce a reason why I just saw what I did. If it was purely coincidental, there was an outlet on the back wall behind me in the dining room area. I thought that maybe it was just some kind of electrical discharge and it came out of that outlet and rolled across the carpet and then disappeared. But I really don’t know. All I know, is that I was completely frozen with shock when I was witnessing it. It was completely unexpected and absolutely nothing I have ever imagined ever seeing or even wanting to see. But I saw it with my own eyes. I’ve heard a couple of stories over the years but I never really paid attention to them until it happened to me. This is a very real thing.
About 20 years ago while I was living in a cabin on the Roanoke River in the woods in North Carolina my mom and I were sitting at our kitchen table. There was a very bad thunderstorm going on outside and a ball of lightening flew in through our sliding glass doors, went right between my mom and I and slammed into our gas stove. It was the most insane thing I have ever seen. We both just could not believe what happened. During the storm it was so bad, there were balls of lightening shooting across the sky. It looked like someone was playing baseball over the river. Wish I would have had a way to video it back then but will never forget it!
Literally see I work to find out what ball lightning iss... so please you people who say that you witnessed that thing please be specific don’t make it complex for us and tell specifically what “actually” happened
@@mahatvakaushik6063 I saw one. Just floated in the room and hovered there for a while. Then it zoomed off at unbelievable speed which caused my door to slam.
What colour was it?
I saw a similar instance once when I was younger. I was up in Northern Michigan at my grandparents house. Same scenario, hardcore thunderstorm etc. We were eating lunch at the dining room table, my grandma sitting across from me and grandpa at the head of the table. A ball of bluish white light came through their large front windows facing the lake and shot directly between my grandma and I at my grandpa and then disappeared before hitting him. It was followed by an ENORMOUS thunder clap that rocked the hanging light over the table literally. The pastor at their church less than 10 miles away also told us he saw a similar ball of light during the same storm come in through the church office window, into his computer that was on the nearby desk and fried it.
@@PauleyDucati Was the window open?
Back in 2000 or so when I was a kid my best friend's dad told me and him a story about how he experienced ball lightning as a child. He described it exactly like these folks. He was home alone and a storm was rolling in. He went into the kitchen when there was a loud crack and a ball of lightning appeared over the sink and drifted into the room towards him but then suddenly darted off to a nearby power outlet and vanished leaving a burnt smell behind.
This happened to my great grandmother in the 70s. During a storm, ball lightning shot out one of her electrical outlets and rolled across the floor, leaving a burn mark across the carpet several feet long and disappearing right before it hit the wall.
"light blue in the size of a soccerball, slowly floating" that´s exactly how my grandpa described it to me!
asadd2 same but he was on a field with his older brother the ball was just floating there but it suddenly flew towards them and my grandpa said he kicked it and that it cracked his wooden shoes in the process
the one i saw i remember being much smaller. It was a rainy day in the late 90s. Bad thunderstorm out. I was laid on the carpet infront of the fireplace watching t.v. Lightning struck very close and we lost power. Seconds later, the t.v. and some lighting came back on. I jumped up to turn off the t.v. but it wouldn't turn off. Then i noticed light coming out of the chimney. Seconds later i watch a ball of light descend out of the stack and stop about a foot off the ground. It then began lurching forward directly at me, passing through an iron wood-burning stove. When it emerged from the other side, it was about 2' away from me, when it just disappeared with a loud pop. No sparks, no shower or nothing. Just there, then not. The t.v. and the lights died again and apparently it shocked my brother, who was touching the refrigerator in the kitchen at that exact time. My brother didn't see it, but i remember just being absolutely petrified with fear. Completely unable to move. We're talking about 7 seconds or less that i was actually looking at it.

My dad was told this happened when he was a baby in 1940s. It came down the chimney and rolled out the back door. Apparently he went ridgid in his mother's arms.
I experienced this when I was a kid, about 30 years ago. The ball of light I saw had a warm hue however, not blue and no typical lightning bolt like features. It floated above me and floated away after I reached out to touch it. I’ll never forget it.
you were probably lucky enough to have some sort of different charge that deflects it or something, most people say it goes into TVs and outlets, sometimes even follows them
Did it hurt
😲 wow..... I would have tried to touch it too
I think this is a ufo cover up
Sometime in to 60s or early 70s, my father and several of his brothers and sisters saw a ball of crackling light go straight through their front screen door, through their living room and it burnt a spot on the side of their upright piano! He said it was like a huge sparkler.
Ball lightning is one of the few things I will believe in stories like this.
as someone who was petrified into fear when i came face to face with one as a boy, you should. These things absolutely exist.
@@maxdecphoenix It shouldn't be able to kill you so there's no need to be afraid, just don't stand next to it as I believe ball lightning can sometimes destabilise and explode

I saw ball lightning when I was a kid. I remember it was 108 F that day and we had a thunderstorm in the afternoon. I was in our den and a bright purply ball came right in through the window (it was closed). It seemed to float down almost to the floor and across the room and disappeared into the electric socket. I had nightmares about lightning all the way into my 30s because of that. Silent but terrifying!
if i saw that i would become amish
Michelle, I know a woman who lives in upstate New York who is now in her 90s, who is afraid of lightning and thunderstorms.
When I asked her why, she told me she once saw “lightning” come into her family kitchen, going from one side of the room to the other and traveling up the ironing board her mother was using and then back down.
She said it didn’t harm her mother, but ever since then she’s afraid of lightning getting into the house and always disconnects everything electrical when it starts raining outside, just to be safe from it.
She didn’t actually use the term “ball lightning”, , but from what she described and how it made its way around the house, it sure sounded like it.
And she was dead serious when she told me about it.

@@tracymatherson8174 When it happened, I didn't know what to call it. I just knew it was electrical, because you can't mistake that ominous glow for anything else!

This exact thing happened when I was a baby except the ball came out of the TV instead of going into it. A thunderstorm was raging when a fireball came roaring through the TV & exploded. Not believing what they saw, my mom & grandma sat there and it happened AGAIN! The TV was burnt up & they ran out of there with the quickness. Said it was terrifying.

We had some elderly neighbors when I was very young (early 90's), and I remember them tell my parents that this exact thing happened. Ball of light came out of the TV during a storm, hit the opposite wall and exploded/disappeared. The TV wouldn't work after that.

Blue balls, coming through my ceiling. Yep.
What was the colour?
before a storm, a white light ball floated into a home up to the TV and upon touching/disabling it, it instantly imploded/vanished.

@brianthomas it was something neat to see. I was actually in a tee shirt shop talking to a friend at the desk when a huge lightning bolt hit around 100 yards away. Right after that a transformer blew and I looked out the window at this blue ball of light strolling down the walkway. It came through the window where we were standing. He was beside his computer and it popped into the tv screen above his head producing a huge blue light all around. He couldn’t see it directly, except the reflection in the window, but felt the pop and saw the blue light after it seemed to explode. It was so cool. Illuminated him and it sort of sent a jolt through both of us. My finger tips were numb for a good bit. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.
Definitely happened in our home recently. It terrified the kids.

My friend was over staying the night a few years ago during a hot summer night.

It zipped away thru a closed window and when we both turned our heads to follow It out it was then we realized we weren't crazy and had both seen the same thing. Minutes later a thunderstorm broke out and we lost power. No one believed us. No bang, no boom, no fire. Just a staticky light.

When the nazis took over the Sudetenland in the 1930s they took down all the gold tipped lightning rods and replaced them with aluminum ones, my mom said during a lightning storm she saw the lightning hit one of these new lightning rods and form a ball rolling down the rain pipe out to the meadow.

Today was the 2nd time in my life. I've seen ball lightning a decade apart from each other. Both times I was the only person to see it and, and people think you're crazy trying to describe it
Because you ARE crazy...
A far family member of me had this. They left a window open while it was thundering outside. Then a lightning bolt went under the window hitting the wal and bouncing through the room. Really scary
...I love that ceiling.
I had seen a ball lighting about 30 yrs ago right outside my family's patio door and when I shut the door on it, it popped/vanished and suddenly there was a very loud explosion that shook the building. I'm pretty positive that the explosion was thunder because of the rolling sound that it was making. For a long time I was confused as to what it was but now I know.
Its weird how rare they say this is but alot of people have seen it or know someone who seen it...
I bet most people just never had a place to report it and didn’t tell anyone because they didn’t want people to think they were crazy. Happened to me, I saw it as a kid and told few people about it.
It's just rarely reported, I'm sure it happens a lot more than we think. Personally I've never seen it though
My family has a similar story except my grandma and my mom (when she was a child) were in the dining room during a thunderstorm and ball lightning flew through the WINDOW SCREEN and flew into the middle of the room and burnt up the ceiling fan. Crazy story
Same thing happened to me too,
Long time ago in Taiwan. I was a kid. I saw a bright ball (about the size of a softball ) hovering into my home from one window, traveling across the living room and left the house from a different window. I was the only person home when this happened.
When I was a child, I was up early one morning and there was a thunderstorm outside. I heard a loud noise at the window and saw a ball of lightening come in the window. It went down the wall, rolled along the floor and I saw it go down the heat register on the floor. It was the size of a volleyball and rolled less than a foot from me. It was fire color. Didn't think it was odd until I mentioned it to my parents a long time afterwards and they were asking all kinds of questions.
Volley balls do NOT fit down heat registers
This happened to me as a teenager with some friends in Iowa. Actually in a house too. Scared us all to death. We didn’t know what it was at all. Their description is perfect.
Happened in my grandparents house, maybe in the '60s. Description is the same. Can't recall exactly the details but it apparently came through the front door, and since all doors were in line, it went through the hall and kitchen and out of the back door.
Happened in the UK appeared in a garden, travellee through a door into a kitchen and imploded. Scared the crap out of my old man as it was following his after he was getting the washing in when a storm was breaking.
What colour was it?
This is actually how puberty happens. One night when you're asleep ball lightning actually creeps in and zaps your body into evolving to its final form! Its always at like 2 or 3am tho so no one is ever around to see it!
Are you crazy
My long gone grandma also described seeing a ball lightning going through her house way back before houses were grounded.
Hadn’t thought about this in years, our experience similar around 2000. In our cottage in Ontario during a bad thunderstorm. It just suddenly appeared in living room about 5 feet off floor, a white glowing sphere about basketball size.
It hovered there about 3 seconds then vanished when lightning hit very close by.
4 sober adults witnessed it, including 2 engineers who would normally be skeptical about such things. Incredible.
During an electric thunder storm at night I saw a streak of lightening break up into balls and they floated away .
Probably bead lightning not ball lightning
I seen one when I was about 6 years old during the day around 1980 also, I will never forget it. It was 3 or 4 meters from me and it was just hovering in one spot for about 10 seconds then it died out. I check youtube every now and then hoping someone films one close up as everyone carries smart phones these days.

My father and sister witnessed it together in our hoke 40 years ago also. Similar to their description, also it moved through walls (entering and exiting the house) seemingly unaffected. It was silent, and moved in a straight line at the same speed similar to walking pace.

The fact they said it looks like liquidity makes the theory that high energy particles in a dense medium. It likely came through a window
My grandma has warned me about it since childhood apparently she had an encounter with it when she was younger, they were having dinner during a thunderstorm and it entered through the window eventually leaving though an electric socket. To this day always closes all the windows and shuts the chimney during thunderstorms

My grandmother while growing up in turn of the 20th century rural Ohio had ball lightning pass through their house, not having air conditioning at the time, both the front and back door were open, she said it came in the front door and right out the back.
It happened to me when I was a kid. Sitting at the dinner table, a huge blue ball of bright light came through our dining room picture window, floated over the table for a few seconds and then shot down the hallway and through the wall at the end of the hall. We all just sat there for a bit looking at each other. Now I finally know what it really was. 👍
Just seen a video on Facebook, and was telly friends about on I seen hovering on a power line poll when I was 16. Bout size of a soccer ball :)
I too witnessed ball lightning. It was during a thunderstorm, and a ball of electricity suddenly appeared before us and floated through our home. It was there for about 3 minutes. It was about the size of a basketball, glowing bright as electric. My sister and I watched this thing for a few minutes, a few feet away from us, until it hit a wall and exploded and was gone.
Happened to me as a teen in late 70s or 80s. I don't recall thunderstorms at the time. I was sitting on the floor reading a book with my back to the wall in the dining room. This room had a large double glass door. I didnt see where the lightning ball, about the size of a soccer ball, originated. I noticed the light and watched it roll, more like floating, across the dining room floor, a few inches above the floor. I did not move as it went beside me, down the hallway, into a large central heating/air register. It traveled down the register and I heard my dog yelp out. He must have been laying in the basement beside the unit. Told my parents when they returned home and my mother said she saw something like that once in a field. On recall, it's amazing I wasn't scared. Wasn't much information on the subject at the time, before the internet.
The scary thing about ball lightning is that it is silent and can go through thin walls

I once saw a bright bolt of lightning on a cloudless bright sunny day. I half wondered what I'd seen, until maybe 10 seconds later there was a loud crash of thunder. I'm now over 60 years old, and that's the only strange lightning I've ever witnessed.
I had this happen to me around 1969. It went down the hall about a foot off the floor and went right into an electric outlet with a bang.
It’s odd how most stories include televisions and or electrical outlets. Similar stories from around the world so it’s likely not a hoax.
It's also mentioned in story books that were originally printed in the early 1900s. The first time I ever heard of it was in Laura Ingalls Wilder's book "On the Banks of Plum Creek". A couple of them came down their stovepipe and were attracted to knitting needles. Then they just disappeared and they had no idea what it was.
Michelle Jones yes, they’re also attracted to knitting needles. Anything metal with a negative attraction. If it’s a tv or computer, it will fly into and usually total them.
@@Tempusverum i watched one descend out a chimney and pass through an iron wood-burning stove like it wasn't even there. I thought it was coming for me. I would have ran, but i was petrified with utter fear. It exploded about two feet away and must have discharged because my brother in the kitchen screamed out at the same second saying the refrigerator shocked him. It destroyed no electronics though. From what i can tell, mine had actually energized the t.v. and some lights because they turned off again as soon as it disappeared.
For like 25-years i have thought it disappeared and shocked my brother, but now i'm wondering if when my brother touched the fridge it created a stronger ground that destroyed the ball.
Here in de west of belgium, every oldery saw one in there life. They just open all the windows and just leave it alone. Now it is very rare to see one.
When I was 7 or 8 years old and my family living in a small house. My mom and dad and our next door neighbors sitting in the tiny kitchen. I was in the living room, suddenly the kitchen lit up with the bright light. I come running in all four adults eyes were huge! They said a ball of lightning came out of the oven that they were sitting in front of took a 90° turn to the left and went out the window AC. What's kind of amazing the appliances sustained no damages!
This also happened to me in my mothers house before she died, I kept wandering Could it have bn of paranormal/Supernatural like nature it came from a lamp across the room to her fire place were she had her family's crucifix then just as fast back into the lamp beside her I'm so glad she seen it also or I could have bn questioning myself
Paul Scotty Frewzy Frew One orb appeared in my grandmother’s trailer. It zapped in one end and out the other, but didn’t cause any damage. It was big and round, looked like a Tesla sphere. We didn’t have iphones yet, couldn’t record it
People cam say what they want. I don’t really care about opinions. I know what my brother and I both saw.
My grandmother in Sydney experienced it, about 50 years ago I think. She said a ball of lightning about basketball size burst straight through the flyscreen door at the front and floated through the house and out the back door, also through the fly-wire too I think she said.
Very rarely experienced.
This happened to my grandparents in the 60's it rolled through thier home and left once my grandad opened the back door then it rolled out. Unfortunately it petrified my nan forever. She was fearful of any thunderstorm after that
When I was a kid in the 70's. I saw this phenomenon. I was standing at the front door and saw a red ball with a corkscrew tail. It approached the house. I steppped back into the hallway and it came into the house. I stepped back even further and it approached me. There was nowhere else to for me to go. I was stuck and this thing kept on approaching me. It was level with my stomach and was inches away from me!!! Suddenly it vanished. I've never seen one again since.
Everyone hanging out in the house chatting, having a good time..
*Lightning ball casually rolls through*
Lightning ball: “Don’t mind me ya’ll, just gonna watch some TV over here..”
Was this a home on Lake Michigan?
I saw some when I was a child in France in the 90s, it was yellow/orange in colour. It floated around for a few seconds outdoors then it was gone
They see me rollin', they hatin'...
When my Dad was a kid he said this happened in his kitchen, it tracked all around the room and through the wall
I have experienced this three times
About 40 yrs ago I lived in a cottage on top of the hill overlooking Kyalami race track. On this particular day we were having the usual summers afternoon storm. An hour of thunder lightning and deluge. On this day my friend, a Kiwi fella, and I were were sitting on the couch smoking a joint and watching TV. My girlfriend was in the kitchen. We had unplugged the phone which regularly got hit by lightning. The front door as well the kitchen door were open to let a breeze through. When BANG.... a strike close by.... then out of the telephone jack on the wall shot two yellow balls of fire. They rolled past our outstretched feet by no more than eighteen inches, then through door of the kitchen, and out the open door. It was only my girlfriends squeals that shook us back to our senses. Stoned or not...If it wasn't for the smell of ozone and the burnt plug.... we would never had believed this.
When I used to live in Tucson, Az we would go up to Mt. Lemmon to look out over the city. A couple time we saw ball lighting on the desert floor. A lighting storm was in the distance and hadn't hit yet but the orbs would aluminate and then disappear. They looked like they would be about five ft across and tall and they resembled those Nikola Tesla plasma glass balls you could buy at Spencer's gift store.
Love that view, i walked out on a ledge and was a 1000 foot drop, and saw all of Tucson from there
What colour were they?
im in tucson now ;)
Ball lightning? Lmfao yeah OK.
its actually a believable theory tho, so u believe a long bolt of lightning can strike the ground but u dont think electricity can form a ball???
I saw it once with my owns eyes nearby my window
It may be April, but July.
Psycho Surfer Same.
Probably just a dude with a flashlight looking through your window
worst part was that reporters name... “dustin BONK”
Cmon bro dos the tv still work? Did it damage the room
OMG! My long dead, grandfather, he was born in 1892, used to tell us a story about a ball of light that went through their house! We believed him, because my grandfather and grandmother, would never lie about anything. We all just thought it was some kind of spirit, or something. Now I know!
I wonder if cern is somehow creating mini black holes ?
Best question would be what the heck was that drink he made
Is it in tropical places
I see this and i’m touching it like I’m collecting a power up in a game
Had more or less the exact same the difference, there was an horrendous cracking sound through the house and then this ball appeared as if it came through the window although travelled about shoulder height above my wife who was sitting on the sofa and exited the opposite window with no sound.
If I had have been on my own I wouldn’t have believed it however my wife saw the exact same as myself.
I googled lightning and apparently lighting can not travel through glass or if it does it shatters the glass with its heat so this makes no sense.
I gotta say as someone that has seen ball "lightening" in his house as a kid. We should be asking HOW it gets into closed houses. People talk about it going through windows... and that is just utterly impossible if you believe that it is made out of compressed air and electricity which modern science claims it is. Air can not go through windows. Electricity, sure maybe.
But, beyond that, when I saw it as a kid; I woke up to it hovering 2-3 feet away from me in a closed bedroom. Closed door, closed windows with curtains drawn. It hovered there for a bit then zoomed up and away from me towards where the wall met the ceiling and vanished. It had no smell, no sound just white blue light.
Others talk about it coming in through a window, moving right up to them, hovering there for a bit then going back out through the same window..... lightning ain't gonna do that. It's also flat out not going to move around a house like people say it does. It's going to zoom straight into the nearest wall or furniture, or person.
It's either not a natural thing OR some people see something natural and some people see something else.
...and btw, I've now seen it twice. The second time was a week ago after I had been watching videos about it on here and talking to a house mate about it earlier in the day (or day before, I don't remember). This time it was outside like a house or two away and I saw it through a window. It Started out above the house and move in an arc down towards the ground and vanished behind a tree.
This time I was wide awake, hadn't gone to bed yet. I took awhile to try to figure out if all the various lights outside in the neighborhood could have been what I saw since it happened while I was walking down a hallway and the lights "move" when you move. There are no lights that move the way the ball of light that I saw moved.
It was not a stormy or even rainy night. Just cloudy.
I don't think I had told anyone about seeing the ball light in my bedroom as a kid until the day I talked to my house mate about it..... and then, bam.. I'm seeing it again.
Highly sus.
It happened three times in my house one night, once about three feet in front of my face.
Crazy
move out !
I never believed these stories until two days ago when I saw and recorded it myself in West VA while camping. I'm in shock still. I saw like 20 of them flying down behind a hill in the forest. Unreal.
LIterally like 1000' from me.

@@KingmiloShorts When I originally left this comment, I had only seen them once. Now, FOUR separate trips, with 3 different people.
Ball lighting: Wassup, can a loc come up in your crib?
Me and my wife saw the same thing back in 2014. Just this morning 11/04/23 my friend said same things happened in his house. Green sparking light that explodes mid air inside the house!!! Here in Africa, we believe it black magic.
Thank you ✨🙏✨
Ball of lightning: don't mind me coming in
This happened to me while I was sitting at my kitchen table. I heard a Tzt-Tzt noise, and looked up, and there was a ball of electricity. It had a white, blue core about the size of a nickle or so, and white, blue tenticles flashing out in every direction just like those balls they sell in stores. It's size was a little bit smaller than a bowling ball, but the edges where they ended where almost invisable. The area inside it was almost like a light blie gray fog, and that is how I could tell the outer edges also, but it was forcefield-like in appearance. It was only there briefly, maybe 2 seconds give or take, and then it simply disappeared (no sound, just gone). I didnt know what it was, so I continued writing without even much thought (I was planning a trip to Colorado and to Arizona, all within 7 days). As I began writing again, I heard the Tzt-Tzt sound again, only off to my right this time. When I looked over, the lightening ball was hovering between my kitchen bar and our pantry, with the blue white electric lines stemming from the center, about 3 1/2 feet from the ground . I sprinted out of the kitchen so fast, 🤣 I about knocked my chair over. I was laughing and scared simultaneously. Right at that time, my sister-on-law came in the front door (her son, my nephew, was going on the trip with us). In my awed excitement, I told her what just happened. She accused me of imagining it. 😡😠 I later was able to prove to her these things actually exist, from seeing them saw them on TH-cam. She seemed unimpressed, but I totally felt vendicated. Lol. 😏😏😏
A hot August day is the key fact in this video
