> Where is a video? Whatever the plausibility of ball lightning, it is not reasonable to demand video of a rare and unexpected event. I read somewhere that no major airline crash was captured on film until about 30-40 years ago (NB: exhibition flights and the Hindenburg are not airlines), but we can agree that planes did crash. Think about 9/11: The World Trade Center must be one of the most photographed and videoed sights in the entire world, yet there are only 2 videos of the first attack on a sunny morning when it was witnessed by thousands of people walking around. There is just one extremely poor video of the Pentagon attack, and this is a building that I assume is brimming with surveillance cameras. There are no videos of the Shanksville crash. An airplane in trouble is big and noisy and there might be a minute between the time it's noticed until it crashes. Ball lightning, if such a thing exists, is small, initially quiet, unexpected, and last just seconds.
