Ball Lightning Weather Phenomenon

[809380]

VERY INTERESTING VIDEO, I never seen those phenomenal lights

[TheLastBloodBrother]

kinda gey

[HolyLight626]

Good capture , good vid good job :)

[MrMrkman98]

firefly's? 

[H4loR3ach]

Masterchief has finally arrived

[mariuxtop2]

Thumbs up if you saw more than 1

[MsKTMvalley]

Cool! I didn't know there was such a thing

[InsidiakMFWA]

0:28 Ok who the hell divided by zero?!

[bigmikey1979]

you can clearly see the dark ufo causing it in the lightning strike at :28-:29 seconds

[TheJediCharles]

These people need some new adjectives.

[vizdotnu]

Cool.. Came here to see ball lightning and found kids partying in my hometown.. Outdoor mountain parties FTW! Mother Earth Sound System!

[Thunderstruck401]

Ball Lightning actualy exist proven by meteorologist and other scientist it isn't a strange or cosmic nor unseen event, they just usually dont happen below the cloud ceiling that often, so relax, its not the end of the world / alien invasion / asteriod / ufo / king kongs vagina / etc / etc. . . .

[NewStarConstellation]

@skogsmullen92 Yeah, it does, doesn't it? ;)

Oh, I forgot - I don' believe in aliens...... :P

[nudist1033]

That little round dot that comes in @ 0:27 and disappears @ 0:33?

That's a small plane folks.

I see that kind of light all the time over here by Phila. Pa.

[Darkflame3600]

I've seen one its pretty tight! :)

[D34Df007]

i watched this muted the first time and thought all those embers were ball lightning haha

[AndyJay15]

It's actually quite creepy watching that.

[birder445]

wheres the faint BOOM sound :(

[DeathAdder187]

@birder445 First lightning appears 7 seconds before the end of the video. 7x 340 = 2380m

Seems like it's 4-5km away so It's no big deal if the sound didn't reach the camera in time.

[NewStarConstellation]

@skogsmullen92 Sorry, I dont understand the question.

At 0.27 the ball appears flickering, then it gets more stable. Looks perfectly like a natural phenomena.

Or did you mean something different? All else I can see are normal flash lightning....

[2girls1camel]

Lightning balls do excist, but in a lot of videos they are fake. It's a naturual phenomenon, and has nothing to do with aliens. In fact, may parents saw them rolling on the beach long time ago when it was storming.

[NerfWarrior1096]

@2girls1camel whoa whoa whoa...rolling?!?!?

[zimtower]

Ball lightning is nothing but a piece of lightning bolt that broke off and is stuck in neutralized atmosphere.

[NewStarConstellation]

@skogsmullen92 Where exactly?

[codeythesilent]

@skogsmullen92

It's a cloud.

[wonkehcheetah1138]

I think that lightning bolt is stuck in lag...

[skoopdahoop]

the aliens were bored so the fire lazers at the earth every now and then.

[EXTRAxJUICYxx15]

i've only seen 1 lighting orb in my entire life, and that was sooo long ago, but i remember it like it was yesterday..

[ManDudeYeah]

That looked way more like a sprite than a ball lightening???

[NewStarConstellation]

@ManDudeYeah Sprites are only happening in the higher atmophere.

[blobymr092]

@skogsmullen92 Its just a cloud closer to the camera than the origin of the lightening bolt :)

[miniroid7]

dammit i blinked .

[Purrsun]

I'm sorry. Did I do that?-_- *hint* *hint*

[betrekwoman]

@skogsmullen92 it was... THE GRIM!

[frostylala141]

I saw one, It was orange i was in a park, it bounced off the walls then it just exploded i was like.. O_O Wtf just happened!?

[boriskarpoff]

It's very curiuos that the camera was pointing almost exactly at the site the "ball" appeared, very curious also the zoom up to that point jus before it happened, more curious yet, they turned off the camera just after one of the most rare natural phenomena without waiting at least some time to see if it would show up again.

I believe ball lightnings do exist for the fact I saw it once. But to have the ability to know exactly where, when an how long it will last... wooowwwwww! you are the guy!

[terrybrookman]

By the way it was very bright you could not look directly at it, like a arc welder but I did not feel any heat. I still wonder what would have happened if I would have touched it, most likely would not be writing this. LOL

[terrybrookman]

I have seen it when I was a kid during a storm. There was a flash up the street and then this thing bigger than a large beach ball, perhaps 5' spear came bouncing down the street. There was the smell of ozone and it got smaller each time it bounced, it did not seem to touch the ground and as it went by me I wanted to touch it. As I walked toward it I got close enough to touch it but stopped. It went on down the center of the street and got smaller until it disappeared.

[glackmore77]

@HorrorRod I was actually camping out in Estes park about a week ago when there was a horrible thunder storm, we saw about 2 ball lightning which is actualy quiet scary when you think about it because the lightning was only about 400 yards away

[PorschephileRS]

COLORADO IS THE SHIT!!!!

[NozeDive]

I agree with hmadison

I'm a pilot

[mofobious]

You can hear the fire crackling in the background.

[sunshinelovesguitar]

Wish I could see ball lightning!

[CptMonstar]

Thats just Goku powering up

[mdervish15]

Looks like fireflies to me! lol

[cowdust51]

@mdervish15 did you not notice the big ball of electricity in the background at 0:27?

[hmadison]

That was the landing light on a turning aircraft that had just emerged from the cloud bank. Sorry.

[hmadison]

That was the landing light on a turning aircraft that had just emerged from the cloud bank. Sorry.

[dumitru10ful]

you are so lucky because you see these phenomen.they are verry rare

[seabulls69]

Very cool! I've always been curious about these.

[AmokBR]

6/1, trample, haste. At the end of the turn, sacrifice ball lightning.

[cyborgar15]

@AmokBR maze of ith..sorry

[InspiredMuse74]

I saw this last night. We had ball lightening here in KC.

[ExcaliburLink]

I remember one summer day, I saw ball lightning, but I was too young to know what it was.

[theKDMfilms]

Looks like some angel In heaven is practicing magic

[nadoeloiskat]

Nice catch for this extremely rare phenomenon.

[ArchitekOGP]

I reckon a lot of UFO sightings are just balls of lightning.

[Georgeofthejungle777]

Chuck Norris was playing football... :-D

[Electromag50]

 I have seen it twice in Nevada when I worked there, and I have never seen it any place else since. Both times it was on the ground right where a big bolt of lightening struck. In this video, I cant say as I wasnt there but it looks like like what I saw. But it was on the ground like I said.

[grangersmith]

that looks like an orb and you can see them without the lightening especially in Co a lot of places, just keep looking up in the sky, whatever they are, they aren't ball lightening...But who knows? The ball lightening thing, is just a plasma ball created by electromagnetism, in laboratories the proof is that they created a tiny plasma ball and that's that...

[jesuscrapper]

This is one of the better videos of ball lightning that I have seen! ... You should have run up the mountain to get a better view!!!!

[DemonAMVs]

@skogsmullen92 Just a cloud infront.

[SethHesio]

Very cool.

[hollowpoint249]

god was firing his spartan laser.

[digitalbroadcaster]

First light was 'ball lightning' heading on final approach, and the second 'ball lightning' was turning in the holding pattern before doing the same.

Yes, they were both aircraft. Bottom right is the airport. The second 'ball lightning' is simply the aircraft landing lights facing the camera as it turned.

[22timingram]

@digitalbroadcaster Didn't you see bigfoot hiding behind the tree too? Lol.

[fiver69]

The shadow @ :27 is a star destroyer !

[HMcommercials]

Everyone tht is saying it's an alien is wrong actually it's the kraken and the chupacabra in a stolen UFO. So gawd people git ur facts straight!

[MetalMonarchy]

:o :| what? thats the imprint of ball lightning on the cloud i say

[xfurialx]

we say its ''pallosalama'' here in finland

[havendoll]

this is cool.

[thetootom]

I LOVE IT ufo exist

[Trinitrotoluo]

@thetootom This has nothing to do with aliens.

[TheAshleyYO]

ALIENS! O_O

[invalid000able]

@TheAshleyYO LOL...

[TheCrazyFinn]

@skogsmullen92 It's an UFO! =O

[closedcaskit]

its a fire btw

[Benyash99]

This is probably why alot of people believe in UFO's.

[PatsyxNJ]

This is the first video of ball lightning that resembles the ball I witnessed in NJ back in 1962. The ball I saw came during a severe thunder storm. It floated slowly "down hill" in the sky, lasting about 8-seconds. The ball that I saw appeared to be approximately the size of a full moon on a winter night. Quite a sight. One I have never forgotten... or seen again. FYI: When I told the nuns at my grammar school about what I had seen she congratulated me on having such an good imagination.

[oryjen]

Ball lightning remains unexplained by science.What happens when e very high electric discharge interfers with an intense magnetic field (just above a particuklar telluric location for example), nobody knows...

[loganflinke]

BarryDong, haven't you heard of ball lightning before. Oh, and you guys were extremely lucky to see something that rare, especially from a safe distance. Thanks for uploading the video.

[jackass5566]

well done!! 

[MaghoxFr]

The phenomenon is the light ball at 0:28? It's pretty awesome!

[Maryanne247]

Was that lightning way off in the distant horizon? It looked like it was on the edge of the mountains

[therealCanablisS]

i can hear a fire burning away

funny

[sycan1990]

that's cool!

[BarryDong]

@skogsmullen92 Oh yeah, 0:27/:028 the lightning illuminated a silhouette. Probably a cloud, but does look weird.

[epsocool]

sweet

[7jaryan7]

looks like a groovin time

[vadimus9111]

Danger! I kown that balls! Created by energy!! Very dangerious and hot!! It can fly but not for a long time!! I forgot the name of that ball sorry but it can be anywere!!! Extra hot!! Lot of people were injured! Trust me!! God video

[MrSheen95]

Ron Weasley flicked upon his Deluminator.

(thumbs up for Deathly Hallows)

[boonw]

I thought it was another stupid fake video... until I saw the end.

Ball lightning is pretty fucked up, scientists used to think the phenomenon was just a silly superstition.

[godsmane10]

i think this is the government trying to control weather.i watch somethin about that on the history channel

[Mrmusicman2000]

its the fucking terrorists

[sourcarerofwow]

oh and it exploded.

[sourcarerofwow]

my teacher told us he saw lighting shaped like a star.....:3

[ayojayjay9]

Those are exterrestrials absorbing energy to travel the cosmos!!

[ayojayjay9]

Ball lightning? Those are extraterrestrials absorbing energy in order for them to travel the cosmos!!!

[oOBadBoyyOo]

Gz

[aCenterfoldBrat]

I saw it on top of the lightning by the way whats that chippy noise

[yudiweb]

99 ppl never watch Natgeo or Disc Chan.. Mtv freak

[julesTEO]

Funny how most ppl just comment before even reaching half of the video, and even funnier how a lot of ppl who watch the whole thing just see blinking lights and troll all the wey... I guess most of them haven`t used a real video camera (other than a webcam for even more trolling)

[lenny820]

That is fucking unreal...you are really lucky to have this on video...

[philomel]

you guys should feel pretty good, this may be the first contemporaneous video evidence of ball lightning around –– definitely something to turn into a physics dept at a university for research!

[ChaseMAJORj2theM]

Whatever it is, I can say turn you life to Christ!

[rtyush]

shut the fuck up about pokemon you retards

[HorrorRod]

@PENpenguin you are a retard read the description and watch the whole video you f- ing screw up!

[GUIPenguin]

Nice sparks from the campfire on the left

[frosk12345]

fake....my granddad died cos of ball lightening .

[jlynxss]

this has to be fake, i mean lightning is 10 times the heat of the sun, wouldnt it like make a huge heat wave or something?

[CandyGraham729]

@jlynxss Only if you got close enough. This was apparently about 15-20 miles away.

[JonThm]

Lightening does nuclear fusion

[fedaykin6]

fake

[Commander11Cody]

I see PIKACHU!

[ufoguy1962]

It's awesome footage ... of an Iridium Flare. Boulder, Colorado is quite consistent for bright flares of Iridium satellites. Whoever was filming seemed to be zooming in to catch Iridium 58 as it flared to a magnitude -8.

The fire, and party, was going all night and this was filmed Saturday morning, October 21, 2006 at precisely 6:54:29am.

Lol, I ain't shittin' ya. Check the "Heaven's Above" Iridium Flare archives for Boulder for October 2006. It's a cool vid but it's not "ball lightning."

[mounsteres]

It's a Flying Saucer firing up it's death-laser.

[schalteria]

the best awkward/unexplained video on youtube ever!

[TheRenzomagnus]

That was the wind blowing on a fire dumb ass

[MrThembones]

looks like team rockets blasting off again!!!!

[ThePissedoffuser]

omg turn the camera to the right like an inch man

[natcupcakes]

@ThePissedoffuser The lights on the right were not the ball lightning. The ball lighting is in the middle of the screen almost at the end of the video. :)

[faffaflunkie]

There is no such thing as "ball lightning". That is clearly a UFO.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie well you're clearly a dumbass.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 Have some coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie maybe you should grow a pair and get laid. because i can just tell you havent.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 Learn to spell before you insult someone. Dumbfuck.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie no point in trying to talk to an un-educated asshole. this will be the end of the discussion because i got better things to do, as im sure you do as well.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 You filthy fuck. Do you know how many dicks your Mommy had to suck to get you that high speed internet connection? Now go to bed. Your Mother needs to go out and blow some truckers.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie i dont know what your problem is, i try to end the conversation and you still persist. you must not have a life.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 What's the matter. Mommy not back from the Hell's Angel clubhouse yet?

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie ok im tired of trying to be nice.... DUDE JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET A FUCKING LIFE CUZ CLEARLY YOU DONT HAVE ONE BECAUSE YOU KEEP REPLYING TO EVERY SINGLE DAMN THING I SAY. NOW GO OVER TO YOUR GAY HUSBANDS HOUSE AND INVITE SOME OF YOUR HOMO FRIENDS OVER AND HAVE THEM SHOVE ALL THEIR DICKS DOWN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH CUZ I BET YOU ENJOY IT YOU STUPID ASS WIPE.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 Mommy back with the Hells Angels yet, little douchebag.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie LOOK AROUND, THE ONLY DOUCHEBAG HERE IS YOU. I WAS TRYING TO BE THE NICE GUY YET YOU STILL PERSIST WHCIH PROVES YOU ARE THE ONLY NO LIFE DOUCHEBAG HERE.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 When your Mom comes home and finds the caps locked on her computer she's gonna be mad. Now fantasize about some big dicks and go to bed.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie clearly you dont know when to give up. but i do. till the day you get shot and thrown into a ditch and im there to see it, have a good life.

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 I see Mom's back with the crystal meth. I guess it's bed time for douchey.

[cokefreak855]

@faffaflunkie and on that pathetic note, i bid you a farewell

[faffaflunkie]

@cokefreak855 Please don't go away mad. Just go away.

[kenneth0926]

[zwut1]

@kenneth0926 You're the most retarded person in the fucking world, go an hero.

[kenneth0926]

@zwut1

Go an Hero? Check your grammar dude,, shut up MOFO,,

[zwut1]

@kenneth0926 Google it.

[420shitstorm]

Lame

[napischu]

Follow the star to find Waldo! I mean Jesus!

[prairshrine]

Nice capture of a foo-fighter. I like ball lightning, in the realm of odd things this is in my list with volcanic lightning. Rare but real and very pretty. Wish you had a closer view... but you never know how or when this stuff is going to occur.

[HorrorRod]

@catskywatcher110035 good call

[wkbassett]

Looks like team rocket's blasting off again!!!

[candyfloss362]

i see fire and brimstone were the locus and the boils and sores lol and rivers of blood :D

[Catskywatcher113005]

We all know what that is even if some are still in denial. UFO, or DAS(Denied Alien Ships) as I like to call them now.

[TheLivirus]

@Catskywatcher113005 Haha you're funny

[dreamzwalker]

@Catskywatcher113005

Sure...

It just so happens that all UFOs are small and glowy.

[TourettesSomething]

@dreamzwalker MOST UFOs are small and glowy.

Has anyone ever thought of the idea that, I don't know, some UFOs are just, you know, just that? Unidentified flying objects? UNIDENTIFIED. FLYING. OBJECTS???

As in, something flying in the sky that can't be identified, like, say, ball lightning?

[dreamzwalker]

@TourettesSomething

Of course they have.  Most people, however, associate the word UFO with aliens as opposed to the real definition.

[MrNaaki1201]

@dreamzwalker alot of ufos arent small some are bigger then football fields, and some from nasa footage are meant to be few miles wide

[DoubleHeIix]

@MrNaaki1201 But they don't exist :D

[Azianxss]

sorry guys, it was me training my lightning power.

[mrchadflip]

que curioso soy el visitante 1003000, que numero mas redondo xD

[UltimateChimera60148]

That's not ball lightning! that's just some guy respawning in Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.

[overcast201]

its raijin!!!!!!!!!

[636Castle]

Nice footage of something so rare!

[ghostgate82]

It was Goku charging up....

[JetJockey87]

@ghostgate82

Nah that wouldve lasted much much muccccccch longer. ;-)
