Episode notes

There have been recorded instances of what was probably ball lightning, possibly back in, you know, ancient Greece even. There's this famous engraving of a ball lightning sighting from 1901. You either look up or you see a light. A spherical object. The color could be like kind of a white, bright point orange. An orange sort of teardrop shaped blue. Probably not moving very fast. About walking pace maybe a little bit faster. Usually hard zone. We've got a single crappy video. I mean, it doesn't, it just kind of sounds like UFOs.

For millennia, people have been reporting stories of mysterious spheres of light that glow, crackle, and hover eerily during thunderstorms. They’ve been spotted in people’s homes, and are even said to be able to pass through windows. No one knows how ball lightning forms — but that’s not stopping scientists from attempting to recreate it in their labs.
