(OP) User ID: 1085876 United Kingdom01/06/2011 12:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another friend, who was present at the time, couldn't even recall the event, and denied it. Bizarre. OMG! I think I may just collapse from feverish stunned-ness! TY for the PIN! My first (and probably last)!

User ID: 1135259  Puerto Rico01/06/2011 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was a youngin, I was waiting on the bus sneaking a smoke when on that very foggy morning lightning struck the light post about 25 feet away from me. a ball of bluish\white light came out of the pole and slowly moved down and around the outside of the pole in a slow spiral. When it reached the ground it made a crackling sound and dissapeared. Still don't know what that was. It was no bigger that a soccer ball either. But if at the Church they would give us some ale, And a pleasant fire our souls to regale, We'd sing and we'd pray all the live-long day, And never once wish from the Church to stray. |

Bizarre. Quoting: Chapman_BaxterOMG! I think I may just collapse from feverish stunned-ness! TY for the PIN! My first (and probably last)! This I find interesting...that denial. I have had friends who observe something and then deny it seconds later...one example was a UFO in which we both stood speechless as it hovered and then took off. He at first was as stunned as me but the next day he denied the whole thing...left me questioning his sanity. My grandfather and grandmother both observed ball lighting on the farm in the old homestead. |

User ID: 381742 United States01/06/2011 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you ever get close to another one, poke it with a stick...you can't tell shit about something unless you poke it! Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

We saw it but seconds later he said that he did not see it...wtf? You could still smell that skunky smell in the air that the wolverine has. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1214331  Denmark01/06/2011 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have personally witnessed "ball lightening" which entered a squat at which I was living at the time via the chimney. It then hovered in the middle of the room for a good 20-30 seconds, with several witnesses all looking at each other and at the thing, going "WTF?" and such forth, until it exploded/vanished/popped out of existence. Quoting: Chapman_BaxterIt made no sound upon entry, but there was a faint electrical buzzing sound whilst it hovered. I still can't explain it, but I will never forget it. I wonder what wild and interesting explanations you can all come up with? Everyone deserves the wtf moment, good you remembered it most don't |

My grandfather and grandmother both observed ball lighting on the farm in the old homestead. It is strange that he would deny it, but it was a good long time ago now, and it was in a squat, and we had smoked plenty of skunk. Not that the skunk had anything to do with it, I wasn't that high owing to my tolerance level at the time (we smoked a lot - we were in Holland). However, I find that the more you mention unexplained phenomena to people the more likely they are to come to you when they experience such phenomena themselves, asd if somehow because I've experienced something bizarre, I can then explain their bizarre experiences. Still, it's always good hearing these things from normally straight headed folk. "It's an inter-dimensional intrusion into flatland," said the vicar to the choir boy. |

Saw ball lighting come in through my daughters open window, go down the hall past my bedroom and exit out my son's window at the end of the hall. Both my daughters, my son and myself saw it. It was surreal. My youngest girl was at the opposite end of the hall and the rest of us were in the bedrooms. How blessed we were to have seen it and come out unharmed. |

Not that I believe that there is some kind of intelligence behind them. But it is a weird experience, and something one doesn't easily forget (unless you choose to ignore it of course).
