Apparently this Canadian couple filmed "Ball Lightning" during a Tornado warning and thunderstorm.

If real it proves an alleged phenomenon detailed for nearly 1000 years but I've seen fake videos before so I'm not sure.

I saw one when I was around 12 years old. It was much smaller like size of a beach ball.

Enough people have claimed to have seen one of these that I'm inclined to believe they exist.

I can see why people are skeptical.

I've not seen one myself, but one time when I was about five years old, I looked at the ear of a kid who was also being babysat, and I saw what looked like a ball of earwax the circumference of a dime. Nobody believed me, but I saw what I saw.

Where and was it during thunderstorms?

Next to a lake under small thunderstorm next to our summer cottage. It was already clearing up as we heard a close lightning strike and then on the beach we saw this ball of white light hovering. It did not last long and I dont remember it sounding like anything.

It was during a thunderstorm, a basic squall line during a cold front, this had to have been about 17 years ago. It was hovering around our backyard and i originally saw it in the peripheral of my eye. It lasted maybe seven seconds or so

Do you remember if it made any sound?

Strangely no. It was almost eerily silent. If I were outside at the time I imagine i probably wouldve heard a hum or the crackle (like a live wire)

I remember seeing one of these once. It turned out to be a massive migraine and I needed some rest.

No sound is disappointing, I was hoping for the immigrant song.

I'm not entirely sure this needed proof, but maybe I'm confusing it with quake lights.
