I feel as though most UFO sightings are actually just incorrectly reported cases of Ball Lightning.
Though I will admit Ball Lighting doesn't seem to have same acceleration I've seen in many UFO videos.

After watching this video , I feel as though most UFO sightings are actually just incorrectly reported cases of Ball Lightning. I know for fact I've seen many UFO videos that look alot like the footage of ball lighting in Brazil. Of course this leads to wonder just what ball lighting is and why it occurs. Though I will admit Ball Lighting doesn't seem to have same acceleration I've seen in many UFO videos.

Nice compilation of UFO videos.Ball lighting,I don´t think so.In some of the clips you can see intelligent interaction,whether it´s human or alien,who knows.I agree about the about the music.Some people think it creates an eerie atmosphere.But for me it makes everything less believable

I know someone that saw ball lighting while in the coast guard, he said he was watching the wheel house, when what looked like a clear basket ball with what appeared to be powder blue smoke inside, floated in one door and then slowly right out the other door. He asked his C.O. about it and the C.O. said if he had touched it, it would have killed him that it was ball lighting...
Is that what the ball lighting you and your mates saw looked like?

Blue-ish yes, clear: I don't know as it was up the side of the mast and too far away. Basket ball size would be about what we saw. It got to the AN/SPS-49 radar antenna and there was a bright flash (like an arc welder, I had a after image in my eyes for a good 30 minutes after that).
The 49 radar went down, front end part of the receiver was burned out. I went up with the ET's (Electronics Techs) later, and several spots on the antenna looked like someone had used an arc welder on it.
