Correct answer: Natural phenomenon

I saw it just once 60 years ago. The ball flew low and parallel to the earth. Very close to me. Difficult to say how large probably half a metre to a metre across. Never saw another one ,ever.

Clive, I also saw one, but mine came straight down and exploded with a flash so bright I was almost blinded. The sound was deafening!

How come when I used "natural phenomenon" as the answer for a chem or physics test never worked for me in college?

clivo, as sarcastic as I can be, witnessing a natural phenomenon must've been amazing!

If it is unexplainable and nothing is known about it then, how could the answer be " natural phenomena" ?
