Re: New ball lightning theory

I was about 120 miles north of Montreal. It was during the summer, right
after a heavy thunder shower. I stopped at a dining place to have some
lunch. The area had a very strong smell of ozone, probably because of the
heavy thunder showers.

I happened to look up and saw a sort of glowing circle of light. It was not
very bright. It appeared to be like a transparent reddish blue ball. There
appeared to also maybe have some traces of some yellow and green in it. The
colour seemed to vary a little as if it was unstable. I would think that
most of the colour that I saw was from reflections or just the ambient light
in the area. This ball lasted about maybe 20 to 30 seconds if that long at
all. It seemed to float towards some power lines near to a telephone poll.
At that point it simply faded or vanished.

I know of someone else who also has seen ball lightning. He was over in
Europe when he saw this.

I know of a story that someone had one come in to his house through an
opened window. It floated around in his kitchen for about 30 seconds, and
then disappears with a sort of snapping noise.

Was these some type of electrical build-up from charges that were in the
air? Each time these occurred, it was right after severe thunder showers.
