“When I was around 10 years old, I went down to a lake when I was on holiday. When I got down there, I vividly remember a massive ball of lightning just hovering, and then it struck the middle of the lake. I never ran so fast in my life back to the little house we were staying in.”

“I saw ball lightning. It was right after a thunderstorm passed by. I could see floating orbs in the sky. There were a couple of cars parked by an open field, and people were watching, so I parked and got out to join them. We all looked in silence until they blinked out one by one. There were at least ten of them, and they seemed to fly together in patterns. Sometimes they were fast, other times they slowed down and reversed direction. They seemed small, but I could tell this wasn’t because they were far up in the sky. If I were to guess, they’d be about the size of a basketball, maybe a little larger. After it was done, we all got in our cars and left. I tried taking pictures, but it was dark, and the lights were too faint to make out. I should have recorded a video instead. I noticed someone was recording them at the scene, so I had kind of hoped I’d see it online at some point. But it’s been two years now, so I guess not.”
