This is fake though, the end of the video adds stock sound effects that arent remotely loud enough and there is ni ither sound just the stock effects, the freeze frame they shiw uses over exposure effects to create the ball, this is why the details on the trees behind the ball are over exposed and so crisp, the lensflare the hoaxer uses is really bad and low quality but the quality of the lensflare effect is a higher quality than the video itself, this is probably just an amateur art project some kid did for school to show mastery of after effects and photoshop and it's being passed around by shitheads over here that have never opened a program more sophisticated than windows movie maker.

God help me, that people believe this is real and are talking about this shit makes me weep for our future.

Ball lightning is a real phenomenon, even if this video is fake. Sorry I dont analyze and enhance every frame like a fuckin nerd

I never said ball lighting was fake, all it took a cursory glance to tell its a fraud, it's obvious to any of who has every learned the basics of video editing or photo manipulation.

Indeed! Same with my great uncle. He said it came through the TV and started floating around the room. He slowly moved over to the window and opened it, then just stayed still until it followed the current and went out the window.

That kinda sounds like a poltergeist lol

The idea that this threads is just bots talking to each other is more believable tham that video.

this is about as legit as the photo wikipedia once had for 'nazi flying saucer' which was literally a pair of saucers on top of each other with a swastika drawn on them in sharpie...

OK, so how did the creator of the vid get the power pole to start sparking as the orb passed by?

Jesus wept you people, it says [CGI] in the title FFS...

it's OK as a fake though, until you notice that as it goes over the tracks the ball is also illuminating the side of the track rail opposite the ball, so it's clear that the glow is just an overlay rather than a point of light

Thanks for that link, but in all fairness, that isn't the original video I viewed and posted, which didn't indicate CGI, so you can stuff your "Jesus wept" comment.

LOL! Chugging? Maybe charged is a better word?

No, that orb lightning seemed pretty drunk (wandering around train tracks, its little orb limb was reaching all over the place, knocking out power lines). Chugging works with this orb.
