Talk:An Image in the Light/@comment-25105261-20140627023832

You know this could've been a real thing. Ball lightning.

A phenomenon like that actually exists and to date scientists have no real explanation to what it could cause it. There are some theories at best, but none seem to cover all the experinces the thousands upon thousands of believable eyewitness accounts recount. They are all very similar to your story here. Including one from my mother.

The best theories include, superheated ions emanating from the ground. EMP damage to the brains visual centers resulting from repeated lightning strikes nearby, a semi meteorological explanation with superheated plasma sustaining a self containing magnetic field. Some sort of high voltage discharge in water.

Most reports contain a roughly sphere shaped ball of light, with ligthning coming out of it at times. Sometimes flashing. And always silence. A really eerie complete silence.
