Was this ball lightning?, page 1

I have heard of a hospital room in a hospital that has had several reports of ball lightning inside this single room located at the corner of the top floor...I am not sure science has explained ball lightning very well, but I do believe it is a natural phenomenon that can be attracted by magnetic or electric fields

It sounds more like a Bolide, a.k.a. Fireball.
Even though it appeared to only be a short distance away when it landed it was more likely hundreds of miles away. I thought I saw one land a few miles away from me once, ended up it hit in the next country over.

I work in emergency management and I have never heard of a death where someone is hit indoors. Only circumstances indoors would be if you were touching something that was conductive and the electricity took that path...it is very rare. Usually on older houses with copper plumbing

Quite sure im not asleep,and yes i do see a lot of strange things.Thats the main reason i joined this site,as there,s a far larger pool of knowledge and inquisitive minds here,than on many other sites.I attribute the frequency of my sightings of strange happenings,to the fact that number one,i live out here in the Bush,where due to lack of city+town lights,one can observe the sky better,its a clearer view..number 2,i do not need much sleep,never have..so while others are sleeping,im watching the sky and out in nature in the night..number three,i believe one should share one,s experiences,even it does sound implausible.And yes,i have had many-it is what it is.Im not some one who actualy give a rats ass if most folks dont believe me-as long as its on record,there is a chance that sum one will be able to shed some light on it-and increase my knowledge,maybe.

Okay found a good Q+A post on the American Meteor Society site..www.amsmeteors.org/fireballs/faqf/ Apparently the nickel in these meteor-like things shows as green,and magnesium shows as blue/white,and violet has been observed too.So i was getting excited,mystery solved! There is just one thing,they said "the impact to ground is usualy not observed,cus at an altitude of 15-20 km(9-10 miles,48k-63k feet) the meteoroid remnants will decelarate,to the point that the ablation process stops,and visible light is no longer generated" In case i misquoted,you will find at the http above..Aready i learnt sumthing i did,nt know.Only thing is i saw it almost at ground level,but maybe it was just one of those anomalies.
