Description: Discussion of the scientific explanations for this phenomenon.
We've all heard of it, we all believe it exists - but what does science have to say? By Brian Dunning, Skeptoid Podcast http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4192 Dive under your desk and take cover: A wicked orb of ball lightning is banging around your room! Or, maybe it's just a peaceful, quietly hovering ball of warm light. Or, maybe it's a sparking basketball sized globe chasing you across the plains at night. Or, maybe it's a tiny flaming ball that speeds along and suddenly burns itself out. Whatever it is, it's weird, and it seems to be the first explanation many people will reach for when they hear anything about a round light source: Ball lightning. What is it? More importantly, is it anything at all? What does science have to say on the matter?
