Grim Reaper 6 Posted April 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I found an interesting video on YouTube I believe it could be a example of ball lighting. However, I am not an expert, so what does everyone think. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Posted April 12, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Hi @Manwon Lender, it is very likely CGI. The light reflections/illumination are a bit off, plenty of bright reflections on the tracks but not surrounding poles or trees. The lens flare looks a bit unnatural too. Quite a nice looking clip though. Edit: Original uploader says it is CGI in the clip title: Edited April 12, 2021 by Timothy Edit. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy333 Posted April 12, 2021 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning I've never seen something called ball lightening, but don't know what else that could be. Toward the end of the video it looks like there's a small blue spherical form traveling with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the original uploaders comment stream that's pinned under the video... Quote Andrei Trukhonovets 1 year ago @César Alejandro López Just to be clear: I don't consider ball lightning is a miracle. I see these comments all over the internet and I see also what people write after they realize it's made with a computer. In my opinion this negative reaction proceeds mainly from disappointment. This video was created when I just started to learn computer graphics thus it has a lot of mistakes here and there and I think if someone can look attentively that mistakes are clearly visible. By way of conclusion, just don't learn physics at school and your life will be full of magic and miracles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered this one popping up a time or few a while making the rounds of spooky topics a while back. I can see why, it is a very well executed example of ball lightening as it is explained by observers. Again thank you very much, I tried to find that statement about CGI yesterday and somehow I missed it. I suppose deep down inside I want to believe it was real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
