Er ... humbug? ... If it wasn't for ...

A few years ago I was at the bottom of our garden when this very vibrant ball of very bright light appeared. It was about the size of a football, almost completely spherical but with a few streamers. It was floating about four to five feet above the ground and moving from side to side a foot or so and making a sort of crackling noise. It was about ten feet away from where I stood.

In that instant of a situation, my rational, curious, scientific nature tried to come up with an explanation. The memory banks were searched and I realised what it was but the natural instinct for self-survival told me to leg it, which is, sadly, what I did, back to the safety of the house for a few moments.

I went back out there but knew it wouldn't be there. I was so lucky to have witnessed a very, very rare natural phenomenon.

Lucky bill ! :shock:

That would be "Will-o-the-Wisp" or St Elmo's Fire .... maybe even "ball lightning" ....

Milton (plus others) wrote about it:

Compact of unctuous vapour, which the night
Condenses, and the cold environs round
Kindled through agitation to a flame,
Which oft, they say, some evil spirit attends,
Hovering and blazing with delusive light,
Misleads th'amaz'd night-wanderer from his way,
To bogs and mires, and oft through pond or pool,
There swallow'd up and lost, from succour far

"Paradise Lost"

Do you live near a Marsh?

Hi our O.

Yes my immediate thoughts were ball lightning. Haven't considered the others you suggest.

It was mid afternoon one Summer's day. A nice sunny day. Not terribly humid.
