And never heard of this either: lightning comes in a ball too!!! yep its the rarest form of lightning and its called, u guessed it: ball lightning. Some dude in Palm Beach, Florida, says he saw this freaked out sight:
"It was a bright, glowing orange ball about the size of a basketball. It entered my house through the glass in the front door. It went right past me or possibly even through me into the living room. Then, it left the house through a large window where it hit a tree in the backyard."
A scientist says the bright spheres, or ball lightning, seem to appear out of nowhere. They've been seen in buildings, coming through solid walls and in airplanes.
Lyons says science may never be able to explain ball lightning -- all researchers know is that it's real.
