Ball lightning? Yeah, or not! Think about it, hmm, ball lightning FLOATS, not SKITTERS across the ground! Check whatever you were welding, and see that it's HOT and when it comes into contact with a COLD FLOOR, it shrinks and moves! Wow!
i wouldn't call it ball lightning, it's super hot molten sparks bouncing on super heated air over a comparitivly cold floor. the same can be seen when Potassium, Sodium or lithium moves around on a cushion of gas when placed in a dish of water, as they are equally molten.
I find it hard to discern whether something truly is classified as ball lightning or not because of it's many varying characteristics. Yes, it is possible for ball lightning to fall like that, split, spark and all that. So I fing that it may be rather plausible either way of the argument. Besides, For anyone that has welded, haven't you ever noticed that metal usually tends to cool a lot faster than that?
Plasma is not a matter genius.... it's a state of matter. It's the 4th one. 1st ones are solid , liquid and gas. There are more less common ones. Where in the fucking chemistry tabella do you find plasma?? It's not a damn matter, gee.
You're misunderstanding him just because he didn't pluralize the word plasma. Trust me, he meant "plasmas", he's not an idiot. I doubt he seriously thinks plasma is a species of matter rather than a phase of matter. And he's right, PLASMAS cannot fall. They are WAY too light for falling. That would be like expecting me to start falling towards jupiter right now. Not gonna happen. The forces more near to me are way too strong in comparison to that pull.
OMG, these are just sparks! Seems that Brazilian scientist are so advanced they just discovered it, nice! Go on,you might soon discover something called a fire, but I won't rush you, good luck with experiments!
u know..i just MIGHT be crazy...but..those are sparks bro..ball lightning doesnt hit the ground...regular lightning does but ball lightning occurs in the sky...
Actually this experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Pernambuco in Brazil. Please refer to G. S. Paiva, A. C. Pavão, E. A. de Vasconcelos, O. Mendes Jr., and E.

I would like to add the following 3 points in favor of that these objects are not welding balls.
1. Their luminescence abrupt instantly.
2. All of them tends to move in the same direction towards a view.
3. There is no rest after their disappearance.
These are small specific ball lightnings. (see Physical nature of ball lightning. European PJ D vol.36, no.5, pp. 319-327. 2005)

NOT ball lightning.

Dude, wtf. Read the description before you say anything. If you weld you would know a spark is RED and ORANGE. Not yellow nature as such.
Secondly it says he is arching a current to melt a silicone wafer.
Third off, a welding spark doesn't fall slow, then speed up. Then aburptly dissapear.
Do something better then trying to sound smart and trash peoples videos.

this is ball lighting, its plasma which actually does have a mass and so rolls around the floor. There is a distinct difference
between the slag and the plasmas balls. Why
wouldn't gravity affect plasma, which is made up of matter?And there are clearly other forces involved,as you see the plasma jumps higher at points
