Extremely rare ball lightning phenomena was captured on video.
I'm not seeing anything that implies sentience. It just moves in a more or less straight line. So what?rsk said:It's hard to believe that's not a sentient being. It just trots across the track and heads off into the trees
rsk said:It knows exactly where it's going.
That's not an explanation of why you think that. I'll take a guess and assume that because you don't know/can't see what is making it move, you are jumping to an assumed conclusion that it is intelligence (which, note, still doesn't explain how it is moving). That's very unscientific thinking.rsk said:It knows exactly where it's going.

Ball lightning are like Cicadas -- they stay hidden for many years, and only surface to, well, you know...Rive said:Certainly acts like somebody who has some urgent matters in the bush
Rive said:Nice one, but without details and some post-case investigation it's not really useful.
Please note, that 'ball lightning' is not like UFOs - they are just unexplained, but their existence is mostly accepted and considered worthy of research.

This site has a higher-quality version of the same video. Apparently when it was first posted in 2019 the description more clearly stated that it was in fact CGI.
Ball lightning is a rare atmospheric phenomenon that appears as a glowing ball of light. It is typically the size of a grapefruit and can last for several seconds to minutes before disappearing.
The exact mechanism of ball lightning formation is still unknown, but it is believed to be a result of a powerful electrical discharge in the atmosphere. It may also be formed from plasma created by a lightning strike.
While there have been reports of ball lightning causing damage, it is generally considered to be a relatively harmless phenomenon. However, it is still recommended to stay away from it and seek shelter during a thunderstorm.
Ball lightning is considered to be extremely rare, with only a few reported sightings every year. It is also difficult to capture on video, making this recent footage a unique and valuable observation.
Studying ball lightning can provide valuable insights into the behavior of lightning and atmospheric electricity. It can also help scientists better understand the physical processes involved in lightning and potentially improve lightning safety measures.
