While most scientists agree ball lightning is a real phenomenon, the cause remains a mystery, though theories involve silicon vaporizing from the soil to form a plasma ball or other plasma-related phenomena.

Ball lightning, also called the globular ray, is a rare and mysterious electrical phenomenon that appears as a floating, glowing sphere during thunderstorms. It ranges in size from a small pea to several meters wide and can last from seconds to minutes, moving unpredictably before disappearing silently or with an explosion. Unlike regular lightning, it often drifts against wind currents and may pass through solid objects like walls. Scientists still debate its cause, with theories including plas
