Ball lightning in Russia

snubbleste · 2016-08-06 11:06:20

A rare and little known kind of lightning having the form of a moving globe of light several centimetres across which persists for periods of up to a minute. http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/n0697-giant-fireball-in-novosibirsk-region-spectacular-video-of-rare-phenomenon/

Odd for it to last so long. Ball lightning normally lasts only a few seconds but that might only be the case when it's near structures? That footage is very poor. I think there's a better one recorded in Brisbane a few years back.
