Reminder that ball lightning is a myth with no actual evidence saying it exists. By now if ball lightning existed we would have instances where multiple independent witnesses saw a ball lightning + video footage, yet so far we have neither. All the videos of ball lightning are doctored and it's hard to find the actual sources of the video. Further the witness testimonies vary widely about how ball lightning actually behaves. If ball lightning flew down some random street and multiple people saw it and multiple cameras recorded it, we would know for certain it exists. Yet this has never happened. And statistically speaking this should've happened given the frequency of reports of ball lightning.
