en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning Last night I took 2 of the dogs out right at midnight. I watched a beautiful display of cumulus clouds swirling around the moon in different directions as heat lightning was lighting up the sky . Within just a few minutes this large ,yellow ,luminous ,semi-transparent disc shaped object appeared right above the clouds in a southwest trajectory. It was spinning quickly in a counter/clockwise direction. Connected on the side of it was a dark object which extended out about half the size which allowed me to count three quick spinning rotations within about 15*degrees of sky that had clearings here and there allowing me to clearly see it for a total of about 3 seconds. I would estimate that the cloud deck directly below the object was approximately 5000 ft. This object was approximately 1/5th the size of the moon from my point of observation. There was no visible trail behind it. At 1st I wanted to say it was an odd meteor but I quickly ruled that out. I then thought maybe it was space debris re-entering the atmosphere but with no visible disintegrating trail that didn't fit either. If it wouldn't have been for the descriptions I read on Wikipedia above I would've easily mistaken this for a flying disc ufo. It may still be one but I'm trying the best I can for an alternative explanation. I can easily see why these are commonly mistaken for ufo's. Of course,,, it very well may have been a disc shaped saucer that I'm mistaken for the Ball Lightning phenomena. This was intriguing ! This object wasn't a satellite. It surpassed the ISS in size and it's orbit was opposite of the ISS.

CLIFF .. I have never seen this thread before. . under my experience I posted an event which about killed me . It was ball lightning which came through my window and if I had not dropped to the floor it would of hit me head on. It blew up all the electrical devices in our home. . Had to have the house rewired. . It was back around 2001

I'll look it up Lois. Swampy is right btw . ;D I can only guess that this was ball lightning. It was energetic the way it glowed and spun through the clouds. Throughout my lifetime of thousands of hours of astronomical observations I've seen a few strange things that were out of the ordinary. This was one of them but I consider it explainable,,, sort of,,, I guess.

I'll look it up Lois. Swampy is right btw . ;D I can only guess that this was ball lightning. It was energetic the way it glowed and spun through the clouds. Throughout my lifetime of thousands of hours of astronomical observations I've seen a few strange things that were out of the ordinary. This was one of them but I consider it explainable,,, sort of,,, I guess. Cliff. It was two large florecent blue balls a little larger than a basketball. .. Lightning hit the ground below our picture window .. I was on the couch in front of the window about ten ft away facing it. After the lightning hit the ground which I seen the bolt go below the window . One second later two balls came floating up from the ground in front of the window. I could not move just sat there for a second. This balls were not moving fast . Just drifting side by side. As I froze and was watching them they floated right together through the window . You know how they put in those science movies when thay show a brain with out a body speaking to the actors from some private room they go into. Like on star trek once.. They would put all these electrical lines in them dancing around . that is exactly what was in these blue balls. I did not hear any static like from them. Maybe because I was in shock.. As I sat there not even trying to run. they were getting close to my face as it was in direct line with them. . I finally came out of this trance and dropped to the floor horizontally with the couch. I heard more noise in the house . I sounded like it was exploding. I belly crawled to the kitchen door. where sparks was coming up above the stove from behind. It is an electrical stove. It made a awful sound. I froze again. Then my husband ran in front of me to the electrical box. He was asleep and said it knocked him out of bed. The house went into total darkness. You can't imagine how that stove looked in the pure darkness. He got the power off . Then nothing worked after he unplugged the stove. The microwave was shot. the TV .. the DVD. the phone .. we could not call out. He ran to the neighbors house. When the fire dept came they said all wires in the basement were fried also. We sat in the dark the rest of the night. No fridge.. ... no oven . I mean everything was gone. An electrician had to rewire. . Won't forget that as long as I live. I would of been dead in one instant , I'm sure.. had I not dropped down . My husband til this day does not believe what I seen. He is unsure to put it lightly. Once years before ... I was doing dishes with my husband's mother in front of her window. Out in the cornfield during a storm . She said " Oh look at the dancing balls over the corn. " She then told me it was ball lightning.......But a lot saver I felt. She said she had seen it as a child and never since til that Sunday afternoon we went for dinner in the country. Yes swamp . I was electrocuted on her washing machine . that post is on my thread also. It was terrible Blue dancing around my whole body and sheet I was putting through the wringer.. Never know how I ever broke free. I knew I had to as my sister in law was hanging into mid air with her arm going up into the motor. By the time I got the power off her entire hand was mutilated. .. My father in law and taken the whole wringer washer out to get fix. And he had not grounded it yet.

That is so true. People don't believe I see ufos and never seen ball lightning. Whether or not people believe , for me it really doesn't matter. It can't be taken from us what we've experienced. I believe everything happens for a reason. I feel too much has happened in my lifetime. People that know me in person know that I am a man of my word and I have no reason to lie. There has been so much more that has happened in my life that I will not disclose ,,,,I don't think anyone would believe it or be able to handle it for that matter. It's hard enough for me to believe and accept what I've lived to see . There are people now who know who have experienced odd things when they were with me and they cannot deny that. I know, and so do they, that something is happening around me. I do not like it ! If it were up to me to decide, I'd much rather just be left alone and just live a normal life without having things happen around me but I guess it is the way it is. I just don't know why. I'm not special. I'm no different than anyone else. I have often wondered at times if I should have ever disclosed any of it publicly. There are awesome people here at TEOR who listen and at least try to understand and that is appreciated but when I look around other forums and read about people who disclose things similar they get bashed and most do not believe them. I can understand why many do not believe and have questions, but the bashing could and should stop. I understand now that there are underlying agendas in many cases which must be weeded out. Some people take advantage of this phenomena by lying and trying to make money from it. Others have taken drugs and hallucinated thinking what they saw was real. Many seem to do it just for attention. Others have mental disorders and cannot help but believe what they thought they saw was real. There are those like us who do not fit in these categories above who have actually experienced things that go against the grain, some more, others fortunately less. It is those that try to be honest about something so incredible and what may be a threat in itself to humanity but we get caught in the crossfire just trying to do what we think is right by coming forward feeling the need and importance of letting others know. Many never reveal what happened pertaining to ufo/alien sightings for fear of ridicule. I believe that needs to change. The alien / ufo topic is something that should be taken very seriously ! It's awesome to have a place like TEOR to be able to disclose things with like minded people who are uniting to find answers without facing ridicule.

Some people are just 'designated' to walk a different road Cliff. I'm sure happy you ended up here because you make me feel a lot less alone. Many here do
