What is Ball Lightning?
Ball lightning is one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in science. Witnesses across centuries describe glowing balls, from golf ball to basketball size, floating silently during thunderstorms. These orbs may last for several seconds, drift through windows, explode, or vanish soundlessly. Despite thousands of reports, scientists still debate whether ball lightning even exists as a physical phenomenon.

Historic Sightings
The earliest known account dates back to 1638, when a "great ball of fire" reportedly smashed through the window of a church in Devon, England, killing four people. Russian explorer Vladimir Bekhterev described balls of light rolling across the ground during a 1907 thunderstorm. Dozens of pilots and ship captains have reported orbs entering cabins and vanishing without a trace.

Uncanny Behavior
Ball lightning is said to behave unlike ordinary electricity. It has been seen moving against the wind, floating down chimneys, or rolling across wet ground. Some say it can even pass through solid glass or metal with no damage left behind. This has led to wild theories-plasma bubbles, mini black holes, or even hallucinations triggered by electromagnetic fields.

Modern Scientific Attempts
Researchers have tried to create ball lightning in labs by discharging high-voltage electricity into various gases and materials. Some have made glowing balls for a split second, but nothing matches the reports from real-life storms. In recent years, video evidence and detailed witness sketches have renewed scientific interest, yet ball lightning remains one of the least understood weather mysteries.

Famous Encounters
Physicist Nikola Tesla claimed to have produced ball lightning during experiments in the late 1800s. During World War II, pilots saw "foo fighters"-strange balls of light following their aircraft, which some believe may have been ball lightning. In 2014, scientists in China accidentally recorded a glowing sphere on video during a thunderstorm, one of the best-documented cases to date.

Hoaxes and Theories
Ball lightning has attracted wild theories and skepticism. Some claim it is simply a trick of the eyes caused by lightning's afterimage. Others suggest it could be an electromagnetic illusion, a hallucination triggered by storm energy, or rare pockets of burning gas. Some hoaxers have faked sightings for attention or to explain mysterious fires. Despite skepticism, a handful of videos and eyewitness accounts remain unexplained, keeping the mystery alive for scientists and skywatchers alike.

Reflection
Ball lightning challenges our understanding of electricity, weather, and the very nature of matter. Is it real, rare, or a collective illusion? The answer may be floating just beyond our grasp-waiting for the next thunderstorm to reveal its secrets.
