Ball Lightning

  I like the "hallucination" theory (called "Transcranial magnetic stimulation" in wiki article): >Magnetically Induced Hallucinations Explain Ball Lightning, Say Physicists >Powerful magnetic fields can induce hallucinations in the lab, so why not in the real world, too? https://www.technologyreview.com/2010/05/11/203417/magnetically-induced-hallucinations-explain-ball-lightning-say-physicists/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2010/05/11/203417/magnetica...

    Doesn’t explain occurrences with multiple witnesses though?

      Yeah, it doesn't explain all observations (when there is objective physical damage too). Just an original one, which I wouldn't come up with on my own when first reading about ball lightnings in 90s.
