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!

I've seen it. My 2 sits and I were watching TV one stormy afternoon and it floated out of our TV, floated across the room and then out the patio door. Made our hair staticy.

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

I've never seen it; but I wonder how many times this phenomenon has been mistaken for a UFO!?
