Mysterious Ball Lightning

[RezViper]

some of those were military aircraft dropping flares and one was obviously a light out of focus in the distance, but that one that looked like a face was kinda creepy :/

[Mrepifany]

I just saw this in atlanta ga where I live about ten minutes ago... The whole sky lit up like a blueish green color... Its a cloudy and overcast evening and it happened at about 912 pm est. it couldn't have been lightning because each flash lasted for about 3 to four seconds and the color was nothing like that of lightning. There were a total of 5 separate flashes. It happene while I was walking my dog.. She acted completely weird and scared after the flashes as well... I'm nervous and confuse

[tonyfanta]

tesla

[Rezmic]

Because UFO's are much more logical than slow balls of lightning. >.>

[Karlovacka74]

These are ufos dumasses. I saw ball li... in Canada once and it was nothing like this, it was probably 40feet from our car and travelled at a similar angle but 100 TIMES FASTER AND IMAGINE U WERE THE KID DRIVING IN THAT MOVIE BACK TO THE FUTURE.

[AqwAssassins2010]

@Karlovacka74 before calling ppl dumasses u have to call ur self that cuz there is no shit called ufo or bullshit who is called alien these are stories for kids dude

[HaloMaster441]

there are WAY!!! to many electrons in the air then if thats heppening

[w1ndmeta1]

or what they call flying saucers...

[AdvancedPro1341]

I would like to try 04:09

[deadelitezealot]

@TheJustinPictures saying aliens dont exist is like saying ghost dont exist or gods dont exist you cant proof it

[deadelitezealot]

@TheJustinPictures are you brainwashed by the church or something aliens exist but we will never see aliens spacecraft on earth or even near earth

[deadelitezealot]

@deadelitezealot and this is not about some stupid aliens but ball lighting thats an ball of plasma that may cause hallucinaties if too close to a person

[GAPPING10]

thumbs up if u couldn't read the first bit in time :D :P

[jfern100]

i think i just saw some of these 5 in a row and seemed timed perfectly they were completely quite and it did rain in the morning alot but the skys are clear now(10pm) is that possible it could be Ball Lightning? like without clouds ?

[Slaphappy1996]

@TheJustinPictures

So if you believe in aliens, you're a stupid ass? Fuck you, buddy.

[WorldwideWakeupCall]

I just bought a $170 book on this. I have seen this a couple times.

[TheMrSpam]

energy ball from portal

[highdeserthater]

@brokerwhore Same!!! I used to live near the backside of crestline

[darknessXsmash]

hey it moves by wind and might go in houses because the wind that is going threw the house

[CrazyGrapefruit]

1:26 LOVE this video. Not only because of how beautiful it is, but because of the HOLY SHIT moment when the observer sees more orbs materialize and tries to keep up XD

[Division6Music]

"Ball Lightning in a Lab" Oh, yeah. That looks  like a lab, alright.

[Yojimbothewookie]

I've seen ball lightning... I am the 1%

[Xenabaiche]

awesome!

[ramesh23231]

@TheJustinPictures Fuck it, you win...i didn't realize you were a kid. God i hate the internet sometimes...my apologizes...buttface.

[ramesh23231]

@TheJustinPictures you're a fucking retard...like aliens aren't just as weird as ball lightning. who fucking cares? don't quite your day job bozo.

[kingklabe]

That footage supposedly creating ball lightening in a lab is bull shit. Those are drops of hot slag falling from a tig welder and they are not electrically charged by the time they have left the welder. They are little more than large sparks.

[jaspertjie]

Astronomysquared, what are the names of the soundtracks that I can hear in this video? Awesome collection, for that matter.

[Blackflunk2]

It's an artifact.

[jaspertjie]

@Blackflunk2 ...Mother of god.

[brokerwhore]

About 6 years ago I was in Big Bear California and at about 3am one of these came through the wall and floated across my room and disappeared into the next room where my friend was. He saw it too and both of us brought it up in the morning. We both know physics well and knew what it was but we feel lucky to have seen this!

[anirudhkrishnamani]

@brokerwhore hey!

the same thing happened at my place!

but in was actually shapeless(more like how you'd imagine water floating in mid-air) but white in color and bright and it floated across my room.

[crissfoo96]

haduken

[GeoStreber]

2:13 looks like an UFO

[EdTheLlama]

May i say, ball lightning is EXTREMELY hot, it can burn it's way through solid walls, and it has a small explosion shortly after it appears, and it is VERY rare, and has been artifficialy created by scientists... and this video partly makes it look like flares are in the air instead of ball lightning.

[aeronut19]

AH, got it. This is the music from Kiss of the Dragon with Jet Li.

[JonThm]

Ball lightning is nature doing nuclear fusion from water

[jerrets]

what's the name of this music?

Thx!

[JobForATruckguy]

@jerrets was thinking the same question

[carlos117ize]

SPIRIT BOMB!

[kazamaster07]

ok does anyone else find this creepy?

[MacMan282]

@kazamaster07 yup, for some reason it makes me really un-easy sometimes and brings tears to my eyes. Makes me feel like a pussy but I can't help it... But i love this shit so i tolerate it :D

[Freerealmsgirl09]

0:44 Is that some kind of little flying ship? Looks like a little flying ship o_o

[Dyngfull]

Some of these are not UFO's, they are ball lightning.

[minteko]

looks like they may follow power lines, or get caught in their magnetic field.

[Jimbolikebud]

Who wears flip-flops in a lab with a lightning ball on the floor?

[pandemonic01]

@Jimbolikebud a mad scientist?

[pyromegalomaniac]

Hadoken!

[NINJAROOable]

Ball lightening = UFO?

[lstein2]

0:39 Look at the place name. Just sayin', if you think about it in a way, it sounds dirty

[sckb4]

the aliens spaceships stealth mechanism was damaged in the storm.

[wavepsychic]

Yes these look more like Ball Ligthning then Aliens visiting from another planet. I would like to look into all we know about Ball Lightning.

[chronojeremy]

me and my gf seen the one at 1:13 and it was idental in every way!

[warlink4]

i wonder what would happen if you touch it...........

[hardrokker109]

@warlink4 There's a small chance that you might die.

[freshaashiq]

@warlink4 im getting horny !

[Metaalhoofdje123]

@warlink4 You'd turn into Dr. Manhattan.

[Metaalhoofdje123]

@warlink4 You'd turn into Dr. Manhattan.

[tchNL]

I swear to god I've seen that crap in Syria.

[wirechair]

funny looking lab

[rnoka]

floating plastic bag

[120fullmoons]

Thank you for sharing the video. Today in the Moscow news it was an article about the ball lightning event that happened in a summer camp on the Black Sea and specify other cases that happened across Russia, the name of the article is "'There Was a Crack and a Fiery Thread Entered the Tent' by Nikolaus Von Twickel 26 August.

[awesomegirl0000]

o_O what did i just read???

[ExtremeYoshiFan]

You know why this exists? To deny all plausible explanation. That's the point. It is the all-mighty powers that be that mess with physicists.

[NerfWarrior1096]

my mom said she saw this in kroger when she used to work there O_o i want to see it too!

[vojtik1234]

UFO!!!

[zimtower]

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

[Stillwater900]

@zimtower Oh thank you zimtower, for clearing that up once and for all... not. From what I understand, there are a lot of theories. What about all the accounts when it wasn't even raining yet, much less lightning?

[jimdoesjokes]

I told God not to drop the toaster in the bathtub :D

[NotTonTon]

If I had seen all those clips live there with my own eyes I would have been like OMG THERE ARE FKING UFOs!!

[NotTonTon]

If I had seen all those clips live there with my own eyes I would have been like OMG THERES FKING UFOs!!

[edgeninja]

It's Goku's spirit bomb.

[colorsnharmony]

but i like it

[colorsnharmony]

i cant see it that well but could it be some unknown object , but i think is more likely to be a ball of lighting or not

[headstrong129]

i saw something like this a month ago

[TehZedaj]

ZOMG IT'S ALIENS =O (Kidding :P ) Great footage! Thanks so much for sharing.

[Grimlord81]

To everyone who criticizes this stuff, i have witnessed ball lightning in arizona on multiple occassions, even when no storms are present, they are very similiar to what you see in this video so, I can give you locations to look, Page Arizona, at the Glen Canyon Dam, Tucson Arizona near Mt Lemmon, the Navajo Generating Station. All in arizona, Also have seen them in Las Vegas on the north side near the miltary airbase.

[rapolast]

no! this is mario's fireball!

[theIDKer]

this is a myth for now, a lot of people haven't seen ball lightning

[TehZedaj]

@theIDKer A myth is something that cannot under any circumstances be proven... considering they can at least somewhat replicate ball lightning in the lab, and there is video footage of it... would thereby take it away from the definition of what a myth is. It isn't a myth, it's a natural phenomenon that is rare. I have seen it personally, as have a few family members and friends... it is one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed. I'm sorry you base what a myth is, on who's seen it.

[BlackStarx3]

DOCTER OCTA MOTHER FUCKING GONAPUS BLAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

[GeneralChurch]

Aliens man, only explanation...aliens lol

[coacalom]

KAME HAME MOTHERFUCKING HA!!!!

[NachoBallz860]

@coacalom ahahaha

lol



[TKOG1220]

A scientist once tried to replicate Benjamin Franklin's lightning-key experiment and got hit in the face by ball lightning. I can just imagine it casually floating into his face, all slow-like... And then his head exploding

[chuchudobhar]

So which film is this for then?

[LordoftheTeletubbies]

Did this person REALLY have to give the video a creepy feeling? Ball lightning is just that, LIGHTNING. Only, you know, as a ball.

[Pujc]

..created in lab, LOL you idiot that just hott metal drops..

[dford8583]

Very cool footage. The lab video on the other-hand seems to not be ball lightning. Looks like some guys dicking around in a workshop with flip flops. I wouldn't call it a lab.

[EiD9111]

thank you so much

[MrNomNom24]

Wtf is up with the music

[tomreves28]

some of these are not ball lightnings, they are UFO's

[rsmv2you]

@tomreves28 Here's all I saw in your comment.

"Im not saying its aliens, but its aliens."

[tropemaster]

@tomreves28 What is idiocy but failure to appeal to reason.

[tommydangerdoyle]

@tomreves28 your an idiot

[tomreves28]

@tommydangerdoyle what's wrong? ;DD

[yugt100]

@tomreves28 no this is very rare shit

[cdavis926]

actually ball lightning explodes. it did once in my house

[DoucheFagX]

i wanna see one of those lightning balls just gently float into someones face

[DocumentaryUFOdotcom]

1:20 thats not ball lighting!

[Kenshiroit]

@DocumentaryUFOdotcom what is it then?

[DocumentaryUFOdotcom]

@Kenshiroit they look like flairs

[1200com]

OH! So that solves the mystery of what I saw and screamed MOM! Come see this, but she was too far away to listen. It was in 1981. It was an orange red ball of light it appeared behind the building and moved slowly, then it speeds so fast and it seems to fall behind a cliff nearby. I was like: Wow, did I just see a UFO? never after that did I see anything like it until now in this video!

[strifegomez]

This is the soundtrack to the movie The Professional. Great movie.

[BumperMorgan]

4:10 Who the fuck would wear sandals in a ball lightening lab? 

[HatakeAmber]

A saw one last thursday during a thunderstorm,but it was weak,faded yellow-white and moving fast,and it dissapeared in the clouds :O

[intune2it]

I think I saw one many years ago when I was a teen, but it was so amazing that I remember it clearly. It was a yellow ball without a definite edge and traveling quite fast from west to east in a mostly clear sky. It was not high, maybe 150 ft off the ground just above tree height. No sound. It was within a 100 yards of me when I first saw it. I was startled but had no chance to do anything but watch it.

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

okay... so the flying dots in the sky are either aliens, or balls of lightning... Lightning sound cooler |: ( no more reason is needed for it to be the truth

[cdavis926]

@LOLwafflesPRODUCTION or does it... ( in jedi voice) lol

[RockGod8112]

Why do the man-made ones fall to the ground? Hmmm...

[kesia6075]

More facts about it show that it can do a number of things. It can burn through objects, phase through them, or bounce off of them. And true ball lightning cannot be controlled by any humanly means. Truly one of Gods most divine creations.

[Bulk02]

the darkest hour

[Electrodudeify]

wow thats f..... up

[frostylala141]

i saw one, i was in the park when i saw an orange one, quite strange.

[YukiKisu12]

OHMYGOSH its ufo!! 2:02

[YukiKisu12]

I think this one ---> 1:20 is just a plane. or a ufo...

[Shnimberz]

I can see how people might mistake this for a UFO.

[Strejcfido]

1:18 looks like a frogs face

[paantooja]

I saw a Ball Lightning when I was a child

(no se si lo escribí bien, porque hablo español) xD

[TheRealPrizeRebel]

Shit, my son took our UFO for a quick spin and forgot to put on the invisibility mode....

[Azmza77]

@TheRealPrizeRebel LoooL.

[crackparty]

WTF is that whistling?! it's freaking me out!!!

[savagegiraffe1]

Ball lightning belongs in my bum!!

[onimotoko]

Onimotoko casts level 3 ball lightning.

[gogogo94815]

Basic falloff during electrical work will never convince or explain the massive increase in ufo phenomenon currently happening over the globe. Example: NYC massive sighting, Mexico's a few years back, the recent sightings in Kazakhstan. the NEW sightings over london. the Chinese and japan sightings. there is a spherical phenomenon happening and it has nothing to do w/ still photos of lighting, lol. is it that hard to believe we are not the only beings in the universe? haha, grow up Earth.

[TheToastPeople]

@gogogo94815 i dont care what you think

[gogogo94815]

@TheToastPeople hahaha, and thats why u responded hu?

[TheToastPeople]

@gogogo94815 nah my finger slipped

[castellwooden]

@KostomWred ...when there is nimbus clouds at night...

@markcullenduff yes, its because of winds.... does it move even the air is stagnant??

[KostomWred]

Well i look up at the sky every night and see mysterious balls of lightning all the time, not.

[WolffStaedtler]

Powerthirst is made with this!

[derecodil]

2:16 = Devil Head

[Darkdeath161]

@bilyisbored92 I also was thinking about that...

[ROBLOXDUDE1231]

lol so luagh if that turned out to be someones RC plane that flys and hovers then it exploads in mid air cuz it lost connection to the controler LOL

[mlcoo17]

one of those clips is clearly a plastic shopping bag blowing in the wind.

[spectrelives]

Wow, those ball lightning lab discharges hopped over that wire almost as if with an intelligence!

[bilyisbored92]

NA, its a ufo

[Ubojica6661]

@bilyisbored92 lol

[coolman291000]

It's raiden!

[Eralen00]

this video made me turn my light on

[somethingirreversib]

Nowdays ball lightning is official, but can hardly be explained. It is supposed to be a plasma which is an ionized burning gas. The orb must have tremendous energy, megajoules, the ball is flying cos it projects ions like a rocket.

[somethingirreversib]

This wood be the perfect weapon to roast the enemy.

[HawkPidgeon]

It's-a meee, Mario!

[rockpunkqueen201]

I saw ball lightning only once....i was outside during a storm...lightning hit...next thing i know theres this blue orb in the sky...then it zoomed down and struck a tree 10 freaking feet from where i was standing....the poor tree was completely charcoaled

[SylverPT]

I find this video hard to masturbate to.

[Demock]

Im still not convinced that lab test is really ball lightning, all other examples of it in natural settings seem to show that its seemingly unnafected by gravity whereas the stuff in that lab simply falls and bounces on the ground

[ToasterBrain]

The clip at 1:08 totally removes any doubt that it is anything but lightning related.  I was hoping to see something like that. Great video!!

[neoxpolarbear]

HADOKEN!!!



[BlurryVideos2011]

It could be ether a lightning ball or a UFO

and lighting balls are rare, how did you get that much lighting balls in one video

[BlurryVideos2011]

It could be ether a lightning ball or a UFO

[666MetalSlave666]

Seriously guys...

Since when can we explain everything? There are tons of things our physical laws just can't explain. Other examples are Black Holes and Wormholes. There is enough evidence to say that there are "Black Wholes" and "Wormholes". We just can't find anything to explain it logically...

And for real, the physical laws are only right to the point of time, where another Prof of the Physics has enough evidence to say "It's wrong", and presents another, more logical Physical Law.

[darkmatter83]

i can believe these are ball lightning before i believe that they are alien spaceships from outside planets. i seem to be part of a rare group of people who think logically enough to say that aliens are NOT visiting Earth. Cmon people, it's the 21st century. stop acting dumb lol

[daryl7441]

@darkmatter83 physicly possible when you think about it, logical is being open minded.

[robotmonkey73]

Simpletons, aliens are clearly responsible

[Sup3rShann0n]

These are not ALL ball lightning

[Darkrai9547]

That's a pikachu!! It's doing volt tackle! Like in brawl!! o3o

[LyknScribe]

I think ball lightening is a cover up for UFOs. I just don't seen lyrical electrical charges moving that slow and on a mapped patterned. I don't buy it.

[Sup3rShann0n]

@LyknScribe I 100% agree. Several of these objects even change direction? Ball lightning's scientifically hypothetical, there's no real proof of "BALLS" of lightning. It's a term used to imply an electrical current can be isolated. Calling a ball of concentrated energy a "lightning ball" is a pretty simple minded presumption that holds very little validity. This's basically just a bunch of footage of orbs labeled "ball lightning" although all orb manifestations are not "lighting balls". Garbage

[atlleader27]

This is indeed an extraordinary phenomenom to behold im only 13 and ive seen it at my grandmas house b4.....scariest thing ive seen in my life so far....and i have 2 do a project on it

[Sapphirefae]

I had it go threw my house once. It came in one window and out another. It freaked me out.

[MistPlankton8]

Is it as dangerous as normal lightning when it touch you while it roll on the ground?

[raydarification]

That is not manmade ball lightning. I’m fairly sure scientists making lightning don’t wear flip flops. You should wear enclosed footwear when welding next time

[faulesach]

I saw it once on my road, then it exploded into thunder and blinding light. it was terrifying

[TheGozzila]

Looks like an UFO

[Austinflank]

1:16 was probably an aircraft flare.

[siperdellyeer]

it looks so unreal it looks even fotoshopped

[DireStraitsInImpala]

There have been stories that these ball lightnings have slipped in a house through opened windows and exploded in the room.

Also, many think they have almost no weight so a slight wind can make it fly.

[Beautyofmachines]

1:30 is definitely aircraft flares. 4:38 is slag from a stick welder. Wait no, definitely UFOs and ball lightning.

[DuhChanceyMZ]

Thats no ball lightning its ufos... playing balloon drop

[AaronGodsend]

1st x film: "ovi-transport" AKA "orbs"

OVI = Controlled or pre-select retrieval/restore investiture/? Sai`am ?

A/x B+Destination & Expanse of destination objective = A+32/100

[SmitHolm]

I wish I had those balls.

[acehobojoe]

is it ball lightning .. or ... ufos!?!?

[xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx]

i saw ball lightning like a month and a half ago for the first and prob only time ever in maryland it was really cool to see something thats pretty rare

[Mrjerry284]

Your catching aliens not lightning

[deltaninefourtwenty]

sum of those seem more like ufo phenom

[djtuxik]

Pacman like it too, but 27ghost dislike this video..

[joker0187]

if i'm not mistaking, i think just once i've seen ball lighting. two to be exact.

i'm not sure, but one night after a moderate earthquake woke my family and me up, we were outside and saw the two lightning balls going in a circle in the air. it was pretty creepy considering we saw this after an earthquake.
