Which would open up a whole other can of worms.
Ball lightning is an obscure and unexplained phenomenon. Some scientists claim that it doesn't even exist and fits in the same category as UFOs and big foot. I believe ball lightning has a lot to teach us about plasma dynamics and could play a major role in fusion research. How plasma can stay contained in a stable form like that without massive magnetic fields, is something of a
mystery.
I have personally seen ball lightning once before and it is a very eerie sight. Three large reddish balls of light slowly descending from the sky one night as lighting flashed in the distance from an approaching thunderstorm. I watched them for 20-30 seconds before they went behind a tree line and I lost sight of them.
