White Crane Feather Posted June 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) That is awesome. I wish I were there to see that. Not in the way of course I would cut it out and frame it. Edited June 28, 2012 by Seeker79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel M. Posted June 28, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Not sure how this qualifies as paranormal if lightning clearly was the cause. Lightning in all its forms is rather normal to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted June 28, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Shouldn't there be some damage to the window frame and rubber gasket? Why does the melted glass seem to stop right next to the rubber gasket? Wouldn't the heat of molten glass at least melt the rubber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the unexplained part, the rubber seal and aluminium frame is all perfect absolutely no damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Topp Posted June 28, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) There is not enough data in your evidence. "Resident says a bright light was first seen and next day they saw this at the window, happen at my apartment," No time, No Date, No solid discription on the event that had happened (except you claiming it is a ball of lightning on the title). In your other forum that you had posted this, The members there suggested drill with a circular saw. This theory seems plausable since you can belt the glass from the friction. The other is moister and heat causing it to crack and break. It's just not enough data apart from heresay and a picture of the window except speculation and use of imagination to claim it is paranormal or supernatural.

Thats all I can think off, you definately cant drill that on circular saw, round saw produce round holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Crane Feather Posted June 28, 2012 #13 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Where did the melted glass go? Lightning is plasma. Hotter than the surface of the sun. It might have vaporized it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Topp Posted June 28, 2012 #14 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Lightning is plasma. Hotter than the surface of the sun. It might have vaporized it. Not possible, As mentioned, the rubber on the side of the window would of melted also. There is no real evidence that lightning can vaporize glass. There would be smoke at least or signs of burns and melted residue of glass. Edited June 28, 2012 by Brian Topp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakari Posted June 28, 2012 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Isn't glass a conductor? And glass beakers are used in labs....Hot.....And on stoves, glass pots. Glass insulators on electrical poles?....I remember shooting them when I was a kid on old lines.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted June 28, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Tee, hee, glass is an insulator.. that's why they used them for wires, because they didn't conduct electricity Anywho... To the OP.. is this your apartment and your window.. or is this a window in your apartment building? If there was witness to the light.. Was there witness to sound too? Like a sharp pop or crack or thump or something? To me, it kind of looks like a hand cut hole. Like cut with a glass blade, not a power tool. Or perhaps just a freak accident of something hitting the window and managing to break a clean hole. None of the glass edges look melted to me, they look sharp. And you can see fracturing in the glass still stuck in the frame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingoLingo Posted June 28, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hmm I;d love to see a pic from the other side.. but it looks like its been punched out from the inside.. its hard to say if the cleaving around the edge is on the inside of the pane or the outside..

Michelle Posted June 28, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Tee, hee, glass is an insulator.. that's why they used them for wires, because they didn't conduct electricity Hence the name "insulator". I haven't decided on the OP...ball lightening is an odd thing. My mother-in-law was hit by it in her house without it breaking the the glass on the way in. Her arm was paralyzed for almost a year.

FLBlake Posted June 30, 2012 #24 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Most difficult to cut a hole in tempered glass without fracturing large parts of the piece as a whole. That's why all sizing and shaping of glass is done before it's tempered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
