I read the thread about the possible Northern Lights so me and my wife went outside to check them out. No Northen lights but lots of what we call heat lighting. Lighting from a clear sky. If always happens when it's really hot and humid.
As we were walking towards the back of the property. I saw this bright ball of light in the air it was a good ways up. It stayed lit up for about 5 seconds or so and then just went out. At first it just looked like a really big oversided red star, but after it blinked out there was another one a little ways away and it did the same thing. A few minuets later my wife pointed out a another one on the other side of our property closer to the ground and even brighter, it also blinked out and then another one did the same not far away. Same thing really bright and then gone. The heat lighting was cranking away but in a different direction. The lightening was miles away but these lights were fairly close like maybe 150 yards or so away.
So is this what they call Ball lighting? Whatever it was, it was really cool.
