Gee seems like it can ‘sometimes’ do a lot of different things.
At one point I lived in an apt on the second floor that had pretty badly “installed” electric wiring running all around the walls of the room.
One day, during a thunder storm a bit of lightening jumped through my window and ran all around the room on that wiring.
As my friend said at the time, it looked like “evil marmalade”.
Over in a second or two, but pretty scary.
Well, that’s interesting. Now if you see one of these mysterious little power blobs, run away. Being that it’s so deadly and all. *raises eyebrow and laughs*

If you wear lots of tinfoil, ball lightning cannot hurt you.
Yes. The people are knows as "trolls", and the ball lightning is more commonly known as a "ZOT".
The other poster when it struck his car I find credible, and it's amazing he had the mechanical knowledge to get himself out of it. I wouldn't have known how to dissemble what he did, but wonder if my clutch start car would have restarted in such conditions if I could have gotten my car to the crest of a hill.
The Russian film "Burnt by the Sun" featured something like that as an omen. I thought it was just an artistic device, had to be in filming it. It was white, and I thought ball lightning was bluish.
Mr G’s cousin was a pilot with a major airline. He told us that on one flight ball lightning rolled in through the windshield of the plane, rolled straight through the plane down the aisle, and out the tail. It was a fairly exciting moment for a man who was a fighter pilot in Korea.
I have seen “ball lightning”. Was driving about 300 feet from a power transformer that took a direct lightning strike. The thing literally glowed blue for several seconds while little blue balls rolled around......I had the impression it was more “plasma” than lightning.

She should have called Art Bell and reported seeing “orbs”.

I came across an account of that reading the Little House series to my kids years ago.
