Heh.. You said, "Ball Lightning." Heh heh.

Incredible Ball Lightning phenomenon in the sky over Russia – May 5, 2012  Trippy video.  Can lightning perform evasive maneuvers?  Can it?  The Truth Behind The Scenes.  Excerpts:

Ball lightning may be an atmospheric electrical phenomenon, the physical nature of which is still controversial. The term refers to reports of luminous, usually spherical objects which vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. It is sometimes associated with thunderstorms, but unlike lightning flashes, which last only a fraction of a second, ball lightning reportedly lasts many seconds.



Laboratory experiments have produced effects that are visually similar to reports of ball lightning, but it is presently unknown whether these are actually related to any naturally occurring phenomenon.

Blahblah..  Watch the video.  I love Dude's "Whatzefok!  I forget!" Exclamation on seeing "ball lightning" for the first time..

That's not lightning, zipping around, or staying in the same place, flashing.  Not lightning..
