Is this how we get ball lightning or plasma balls in microwaves? Or a whole class of other discreet spherical material thingys? I mean, maybe the generator doesn't have to be a precise thing. Maybe a mess of waves randomly bouncing around can do it too. It's suggestive.

A ball lightning needs a blob of charged particles and a powerful magnetron nearby to keep that blob spinning.
